What will it take to convert you?

[Brian37]

To any religion? Short of god himself descending from heaven in front of you (even hardcore believers aren't holding their breath).

For myself I'd say god has his/her work cut out. It would probably require altering my ability to exercise free will. Most religions have too many hypocritical practices and texts for me to buy into the bs.

There is a further question if you're a theist. We'll give your intelligence the benifet of the doubt and ask why you still believe with all the evidence against the bible/torah/whatever?

With all the "proof" and "case" threads going on that are either trolls or actually trying convert a few of us, I'm curious.

Barring a mental illness, or brain disease I cannot see myself in my current lucid state ever going back to believing.

At this point it seems a common opinion is even if god does exist.
Fuck 'em?

I'd say that's a fair opinion. Still no theist rebuttals from what I can tell?

let me ask you this and many others. From the closet star, I envision the earth to look like a dot on a piece of paper and out of that dot is a spec of dust which represents you. You being that spec of dust if we are to believe the concept of a God is true for a moments time.

Making demands such as "god if i'm to believe you are real, i want to have all your powers for a day" or "i want 100 million dollars" or i want "1 million virgins" is comical at best.


Even if you don't accept the reality of a God and when i use the word "God" in this context, i say it likely because i'm not talking about a skydaddy, magic man, zeus, flying spegtthetic monster sitting in the clouds concept of God that we have.

Picture this, if you went to a president/head of state right now, or infront of a judge and you wanted to make a request, even contentiously. You won't dare speak in the tone which are relayed in this thread.

But alas, i know this is the internet and people are usually bad boys, intelligent gaints and brave warriors when it comes to the internet.

And that goes to any subject matter which are discussed on the internet.
So i take these post requests with a grain of salt.

But i will say something. If, pardon me, when God reveals himself to you in the most significant but personal way. If you reject him, its not because lack of evidence but because we are content to live without him.

You are content without believing in Allah. You are content without believing in Vishnu. So yea, I am content without believing in your fictional god too. I simply reject one more sky hero claim than you do.
