Why It Is Not Too Late To Repent And Turn To Christ

Or anything else, for that matter, aside from apparently mistaking heartburn for "god."

No, no, no, it is the Lord that places the desire within me.

I resent it when you claim to speak for god. Unless I get to cross examine Him, please keep your hearsay to yourself. I have no problem if you wish to go on about what you believe and why you believe it, but I find your open proselytizing as offensive and as it is condescending. No one here accepts your authority as god's mouthpiece.

I enjoy interacting with intelligent and self-reflective theists about their point of view. But that sort of individual would never press on about the details their belief once they understand I don't share them. What they would do is look for common ground. You haven't shown any vulnerability or self-reflection in what you've shared, just off-the-shelf biblical inanities. So I do regard you as a simpleton and I am not the least bit interested in your opinions. If this is the best you can do, I can offer you none of the respect I've shown to any of the more developed theists who have come through here.


Fuck that. I have even less respect for the mangled, screwed up conception of god you've managed to put together. But I can't very well insult your creation.

Thank you for your consideration.

I don't, but my guess is that even of those who do, most would prefer that you stay and change your spiel a bit instead

Thank you for being ok with me sticking around.

The single-mindedness is astonishing with which you insist that your holy book is reliable evidence, but it isn't!

Maybe not to you but to me it is the Words of life.

Yeah... who knows, maybe God will have mercy with us. He works in mysterious ways or so I've heard.

I love when God displays His grace and mercy.

You know this how? We aren't looking for a "mathematical formula" - that's a strawman. We're looking for compelling evidence your claims have any basis in reality. Faith is pretending to know what you don't know. If you had evidence, you wouldn't need faith. Therefore, you don't actually know anything of what you claim.

BTW, I know I'm the Queen of England.


I have no ire towards your god - no more than any other fictional character. Being mad at Darth Vader would be silly.

Theists make knowledge claims all the time. They "know" this fact or that fact. But, the problem is, you don't actually "know" any such thing and cannot demonstrate that you do, in fact "know" what you claim.

Until you can do so, you will fail in your task. You can no more demonstrate what you "know" about your god than I can demonstrate I'm the Queen of England.

Good luck with that.

I believe that anyone who believes that our complex and intricate planet, and the whole universe from that matter came from nothingness? I think I would believe you are the Queen of England before I believe that.

And this folks is why I started my thread http://atheistforums.org/thread-25207.html

But hey I'll bite.

Rev, it is much more implausible for you God to "come from nothing" whatever that is supposed to mean, than a mere universe with a handful of physics laws. Having a deity doesn't make it more believable, its an additional assumption
