No need to avoid sinning, all is forgiven?

RE: No need to avoid sinning, all is forgiven?
Quote:I have been saying this since my first day here. where have you been?
Arguing with other theists.

Quote:Nor is it up to an honest and knowledgeable Theist. As these Are God's promises and not our own.
If you make a claim the burden is on you. You can't push it onto some made up character.

Quote:Or you can Find what God has promised, and then where would you be? If you remained in your current system of belief then you would directly be denying God.
How can I deny something I genuinely don't believe exists? Besides if the promise is heaven then I'll pass. Remember, I don't want to go to some afterlife.

Quote:Your effort is not consistent with what has been commanded of you. If you have failed it is because you have not followed the instruction that have been given.
Really? I've had religion in my face from an early age. Listened to preachers, even joined a boy's brigade. I've given it careful thought and genuinely looked into personal feelings, and after all that I'm STILL an atheist. Just because you're easily convinced doesn't mean I am. So far I've seen insufficient reason to believe in any of it.
Remember, it's the claim I'm challenging, not god. Seeing as I don't believe god even exists.

Some atheists were once strong believers and for many years. They notice how much of a lie it is and walk away. Just because people don't believe in the same stuff you do does not mean they're ignorant or just don't understand.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
