Atheism's Definition - Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy

God is love, and that matters. If you don't love God, you reject love itself.

If you love your life, or anything in your life, then God does deserve your love. Because it all came from Him.

Your self-willed life is your most prized possession, but you might want to ask yourself what it is worth? Where is it leading except to the grave? You enjoy being king, but what do you rule? You can't extend your life even one moment, and you are at the mercy of all that is around you. Don't you see that you're not in charge, at all?

I'm not insinuating it, I am telling you that you were created to be in relationship with God.

So in other words, you don't have any evidence for macroevolution.

(December 4, 2011 at 10:53 am)Rhythm Wrote: Case in point, there is no place in any field where evidence for your god can be found, and each field is full of evidence to the contrary. I don't have to give you any evidence for anything at all (as if this evidence hadn't already been given to you in numerous threads, Mr. Ad Naus).

What are you looking for, footprints? What evidence would you expect to find for Gods existence?

(December 4, 2011 at 10:53 am)Rhythm Wrote: Everything we know about the world could be entirely incorrect and that doesn't make your myth true, which is exactly what I mentioned to you in the first place. The reason you don't offer any evidence is because you have none to offer. If you did, you would've done so by now. All you have are claims of conspiracy. Stop making attempts to shift the burden that you have accepted for yourself and make your own case. Good luck with that, sincerely.

You can prove it to yourself. Give up your stubborn pride and place your trust in God, and ask Him for forgiveness of sins.

If I were someone who was on the fence about my faith, and didn't know whether God existed or not, and I came to this forum, I would reject atheism simply on the grounds of the way they treat theists. A moral person would have repudiated Welsh Cake for telling me to go kill myself. An immoral person thinks it is a laugh and adds on to it. You should be concerned about how you treat other people because it is a reflection on your character.

(December 4, 2011 at 10:53 am)Rhythm Wrote: Maybe if you'd stop advocating for a life denying faith with a foundation in scapegoating and human sacrifice I'd treat you with a little more respect. Perhaps if you weren't spouting off ignorant bullshit with occasional bouts of flat out deceit I wouldn't have occasion to mention that you're an under-educated liar.

If you would actually engage with me instead of taking every cheap shot you can, maybe we could actually have a conversation. Garbage in, garbage out.

(December 4, 2011 at 10:53 am)Rhythm Wrote: You can deal with any of the objections presented to you at any point, you're the only one holding yourself back by attempting to avoid them and change the subject. Well, I'm on to you, and I call bullshit.

You dismiss and reject everything I say, without exception. Part of the problem is that the persona you're showing me is so unreal. It's impossible to have a conversation with someone who isn't willing to engage on a human level.
