The problem you are up against was fired back past you pages ago, and your response is not adequate to that volley. Belief is not sufficient in this debate. There is no non-manmade evidence for your deity: The atheist position is based on what is knowable at present and what can be tested and verified, which means that true to you, or believed by you, especially as it pertains to this forum, relegates you to secondhand status. Notions such as original sin and a god dumb enough or malevolent enough to fuck mankind over just to prove his supremacy, and in his quest to do this finding the need to throw either one third of himself or his son to the wolves, are so completely transparent in their confusion that, as with everything fictional, they had to be made up by man.
Converts are not of choice. I have a religion with a God and you guys lack belief in a god. I find that any real discussions over philosophy and understanding could be best gathered through the different views. What am i supposed to do go to a Christian forum and say you believe in God, cool man me too! It seems though nothing can be understood but what is already understood from what i see on this forum and the constant ridicule of the faithful.

Im operating under the assumption that you know something to be more true or more important than others things. Do you work under the understanding of some unquestioned truth or do you recognize a belief as true?
