To begin with it was actually more of a plea for explanation. I described your beliefs as I saw them with hopes that a believer could make them seem less pathetic. You just happened to be the guy that came in and confirmed all the predisposed notions I had about your belief. If you want to call it a weak argument, I guess you could, but you kinda just went along with all of it and said "Yup! I believe that crap!" The fact that you saw no flaws in my depiction tells me that you do not see any of it as unreasonable, and as Freud would say: "You cannot reason with insanity".

However, what you are describing is a-Love me or I'll beat you-relationship. In this country, that is illegal.

LMAO!No, because when giving an example of a time fear motivates you, your job was the first thing that came to mind. Also, the fact that you described the only thing motivating you to continue your job on those days was fear of being homeless. Some people like their jobs, and it is enough to look forward to accomplishing something that drives them into work, not a fear of being homeless. There was more to that reply than was on the surface. What's the job you keep to avoid being homeless again...not a deacon is it? or do those not get a cut out of what comes from the collection plates on Sunday?

You have no evidence for such a prediction.My guess is that I'll be an older version of me.

Humility in the form of being humble can be a positive, but the way you subscribe to it is that of a cowardly beaten dog. I hope you don't have pets.

In short, I have a lot more happiness, dignity and pride with god then I did on my own, when like half the people on this board all I cared about was getting some pot or booze.
Not that you would know any better, but sense you brought it up, I too am a husband, a father and a professional. I have been in the military for 10 years. I have seen more of the world than most could imagine. The experiences I've had are what has defined me. The only thing I don't share on your brag sheet is that I do not hold an arbitrary title given by a cult. I don't smoke pot (military) but I do ejoy the occasional glass of wine. But, assuming ignorance in others and passing judgement is what being a Christian is all about, huh?
By the way, How does your wife feel about the whole-Love me or I'll beat you- outlook on relationships? Lol, I hope its only Gods that are authorized to beat love out of you in that house. No actual physical effects could ever come from that. Just self deprecating beliefs.

You think there's a God, there's not, you haven't made any convincing suggestion to the contrary, and thank you for your kind welcoome.
