Religion/god is just wishful thinking.

Through years of living in relationship to Him. The change in my life that I could not have accomplished, of coarse that would take an effort on your part to investigate, but please do, dig up the dirt and then find the change. They're plenty of witnesses to my life.

AA Wrote:Also which ''god''? How do you know your god is right if I can simply say ''I have received revelation from the flying spaghetti monster I know he's real and if I don't believe Ill end up in his hell.''

I know my God is the true One for a very simple reason, He called me and gave me the faith to get started see Matt. 13:1-23. He made great changes in my life and no other god has ever approached me in any way. So what has your spaghetti god done with you, has he made your life better, does he comfort you during losses of loved ones, during troubling times and ect. What holy book has he given you to learn more about him.

AA Wrote:In what way if your belief different from this one or, islam, paganism, ,pink unicorn, etc. How is yours any different if the amount of proof is the same along with, using the same logic.

My knowledge is of a God who has revealed His love for the world, for myself and for you. My God cares what happens to you, but will not force you to choose Him and is saddened when people reject Him, which is rejecting life itself. The proof belongs to me because I live in a relationship with God and God gives me proof because I desire it. None of the other characters you've mentioned have made a challenge to my God, if they can not challenge Him what good are they.

AA Wrote:So, why should I consider your claim anymore seriously than these religions? Also, if I were a muslim or of another religion I could simply say to you'' the devil has deceived you'' after all, if the devil is real(which he isn't) how do you know you're not being deceived?

Satan has not been a challenge to God either, this however is for another thread. You haven't tried any of the others have you, then how is it you think you have anything to compare. If you want to know my God you need to open up to His calling and ask Him to teach you, all I can do is witness what He's done for me.
Satan can only deceive the minds not guarded by God, God promises me this. God says satan can fool all, even the elect if that were possible. Conformation from God I'm protected, as long as I trust Him, He will protect me from such deceit.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
