Christians choose delusion

False. Everything of which we are made is visible or its effects can be measured to some repeated degree through testing.

False, he is the door that leads to delusion.

(April 30, 2014 at 7:20 am)Bronwynn Wrote: why then is it a stretch of the imagination to believe in something similar known as God?

Everything in the world, yes everything, that we can determine to be factual, is from studying and understanding the natural world around us.

Nothing we know the veracity about is invisible as you seem to view it.

If there is no evidence for the existence of something, then the default position is rationally that it does not exist.

Only theists with their twisted concepts of ill logic attempt to make the absurd claim that something must exist despite the lack of evidence for its existence.

False. You believe in your god because of faith, which is the opposite of truth. You want to believe in him more than anything else, because the thought of him is more comforting than the harsh truth that he does not exist.

(April 30, 2014 at 7:20 am)Bronwynn Wrote: And I have greater faith in Him because He is invisible. I do not need to see Him, to believe. I have lesser faith in that which is visible

Which is irrational and delusional.

Indeed, and it is the only existence that we have. Wanting there to be an afterlife does not make one magically be there through your desire alone.

(April 30, 2014 at 7:20 am)Bronwynn Wrote: But ask yourself this; while you have the opportunity to find Him and ask Him to help you, is there any part of you willing to do that?

Not any more. When I used to be a hardcore Christian, I sought him with fervor despite the fact that I already believed in him. The ironic thing is that theists claim to know him when the furthest is from the truth. They merely wish they knew him or only know him through delusion, because the reality is that his presence is not available to be properly accessed except as in the form of wishful thinking in the minds of delusional theists.

It is what we all become in the end, anyway. No choice is involved. It is an inevitabiliity.
