Been refraining because there is so much going on that I basically have to comment on every sentence if I want to comment at all. But I can't take this anymore. So here we go.
And I have no idea what this has to do with god. We aren't god's children. You have parents, you don't discard what they've done for you and call an imaginary being your father, that's just really ungrateful and wrong. Unless your parents tried to kill you, then I guess anything goes at that point.
2. Define miracle.
Then I guess if you're willing, you will have no problem answering my questions. I look forward to that.[/quote]

Are you defining faith or are you substituting faith with a word you like better? It's 2 different things. I don't even know what you mean and we're only at sentence number 2.
Quote:God is actually asking you to trust in the good things that He wants to tell you.What is god? Evidence that he exist. And show me that this is what he asked.
Quote:I know that you have heard about a fire breathing God who is always finding fault and who rather kill humanity than be sensitive to them.I've heard of more than one.
Quote:Jesus taught things which I have trouble even trying to emulate. If God asks us to love each other, its because He is that way too.Baseless statements! Loads of people don't practice what they preach. Which parent tells their child it's ok to lie? But all parents lie to their kids, we know that. Oh and I'm not making a metaphor about god, when I say parents I mean real parents.
Quote:You don't kill your own children. You teach them.Yea? You don't know that. You don't know me. Plenty of children has been killed by their parents. In Sparta, parents inspect their newborns for defects and promptly kill them if they have any. Parents kill children all the time.
And I have no idea what this has to do with god. We aren't god's children. You have parents, you don't discard what they've done for you and call an imaginary being your father, that's just really ungrateful and wrong. Unless your parents tried to kill you, then I guess anything goes at that point.
Quote:Jesus did not want us to act out "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. He said it was better to love your enemies than kill them.Obviously he's wrong, isn't he? If a guy tries to attack me I'm going to fucking try my best to kill him. Love him, you kidding me? If someone kills your children would you love them? Why would I want to live like that? Why can't I hate my enemies to protect people who love me? Jesus sounds really ungrateful.
Quote:That's a difficult edict to follow by most of us.Maybe it's because it's so stupid.
Quote:Jesus wanted us to be guided by a loving spirit.How do you know what Jesus wants? Define "loving spirit", no idea what that means.
Quote:ANYTHING ELSE is not coming from Him.Again with your special knowledge, where did you get this from? How come only you are aware of this and no one else?
Quote:If you find death and destruction in scripture, it did not come from Jesus. He removed all of the requirements that people thought they had to do to please Him. Instead, He just wants us to be kind to each other.How do you know any of this? You are claiming to have some sort of divine knowledge, plenty of people claim the same things but are preaching different things. What makes you real?
Quote:Once done, the miracles can begin.1. How do you know this?
2. Define miracle.
Quote:Really, this stuff is very simple, no formal training needed, just a willing heart!
Then I guess if you're willing, you will have no problem answering my questions. I look forward to that.[/quote]
