Quote:My counter argument would be we can rationalise because we are evolved social creatures with problem solving abilities. these are all manifestations of the evoloutionary path our species has taken and down to some elusive sky daddy.
So your counter argument is a straw man and also making a large assumption (that our rational minds came from evolution, we dont know if thats true, we dont how they came around, well some people dont).
Quote:Most atheists that I've known have been ex-Christians. Some of them were very intense about their beliefs, "felt the Holy Spirit", etc. They only arrived at atheism when they could no longer support their previous convictions.
Dellusions. I get very discouraged when Christians rape their own emotions to try to feel that God is real i.e. the pentecostals.
Its ok to have doubt, just dont let that doubt become the answers.
You dont hate God, you hate the church game.

Your mind works very simply: you are either trying to find out what are God's laws in order to follow them; or you are trying to outsmart Him. -Martin H. Fischer
