Christianity: Don't Reason, Just Obey

[Esquilax]

Where have you been? I haven't seen you or your "dodgy eyes" in awhile.

The scripture in question deals with the heart/mind of another man. Given that I cannot see into the heart of another man I cannot prove this scripture true of my own authority. This is why I don't bring this scripture as an accusation against the members of the atheist forum. On the other hand, you have the same problem. In order to support your claim that the Bible is 'factually wrong' you take the position that: you are a man, you know there isn't a God, the Bible says all men know there is a God, therefore the Bible is factually inaccurate. The only proof you have is your word/authority. Serious question here: Why should I take your word for it? Can it be proven you're not lying to me?

My word is the only thing you need, where it concerns the contents of my own mind. What reason would I have to lie? And please, don't insult us both by saying "so you can keep living in sin," we both know that makes no logical sense no matter which way you look at it, from an atheist perspective denying god doesn't remove the punishment for sin and if I really do know god exists nothing in that argument makes sense, and christians sin anyway so...

Besides, actually consider how the argument you're proposing goes: I say that the bible says all men know god, and that I don't know that god exists. Your potential answer is "you're lying." Well... great. Where do we go from here? You have no way of knowing I'm lying and no evidence to support that view, and meanwhile I and every other atheist here has self-verifying evidence that you're wrong in both your initial claim and your counter-argument. Why do I need to rebut an assertion with no evidence behind it, based on the contents of my own mind... which I already know?
