People are entirely too easily manipulated by religious concepts. History shows this, especially lately where we can show new religions being created by man and people following those religions as though it contains the truth. Christianity started the same way, and we of stronger mentalities are still in the same boat waiting for the evidence that simply isn't available.
Religious apologists are not doing anything except demonstrating to the rest of us just how ignorant they are. Once this realization sets in, debating them somewhat becomes pointless. Oh, don't get me wrong, there is the rare moment I still step in and state something, but essentially I realize they are beyond intellectual redemption.
Poor consciences, for that I weep.
If you heard from God would it convince you he exists? a preacher said can you see the wind. I would say that God doesnt want us to be afraid of him and submit to him out of fear. The Antichrist will come on the scene doing this, and you will believe in him.
We have scripture, we have the land of Israel, we have morals and a persona and are more intelligent than other animals. We grow and develop and have understanding. Etc. If you want more faith in Christ, go to Israel and sight-see. Look at what God says about end times. I cannot prove to you God exists unless you tell me how you want me to prove it. Even if you did see God its wouldnt compel you to believe, not having a mind as skeptical as yours.
