I try, but these forums, as interesting as they are, do not take priority over real life.And I've to construct a huge stone wall this bank holiday weekend before the bad weather sets in. I'm exhausted so who here is going to care? Look, we've all got commitments, responsibilities and lives outside this message board, and you are no exception. The difference between you and others here is that we don't bother using such weak excuses when we can't make for a convincing counterargument. If you really do have upcoming exams then you need to prioritise young man! ^^

It is easier for you to see me that way, because by making me a hypocrit you dont have to think about my answers, since they will all be lies in your eyes. It is EXACTLY what fundamentalist Christians do towards atheists. They see them as sinners, so they dont have to think about what they say, sinners being always wrong.Firstly, cease making erroneous assumptions and get back to your argument, it would be appreciated if you'd acknowledge the harmful effects of religion for one moment. Secondly, for the love of the English language use apostrophes once in a while and "hypocrit" is spelt "hypocrite"! I'm sorry I'm being so pedantic, but kindly use a spellchecker before posting, it doesn't cost you a penny:-

English isnt my first language, i do my best not to make mistakes though...
These are not assumptions, the assumption is that i cannot answer the question and chose to avoid it. If you make assumptions its fine but if i make them im wrong ?
It was not a weak excuse, i answered his question, but it seems that you cannot fathom the possibility that i have limited time.
Also about the question he accused me of not answering, i answered it earlier when i talked about Yawhe and Zeus being the same kind of being. Another reason why his assumption that i am avoiding the question is laughable.
Also, for the love of God, please stop saying i dont see the wrongdoings of religion...i OPENED MY POST saying i know it has done bad things, i have repeated over and over that i know religion does bad things, all i am saying is that the good outweighs the bad.

Well at LEAST "I don't know" is an honsest answer. Doesn't do much to support your belief system it would seem.

...there are some things i do not know, i do not know what God thinks. However all that is written in the Gospel is sufficient information to know everything i need to know.
Why is the Gospel different than other religious texts ? because most religious texts like the old testament come from hearsays and legends that have been passed around for generations before being written down, however the Gospels are testimonies of people that knew Jesus.
