If he's not willing to show his face and is 100% dependent on humans to spread "his message" then why should I waste time on such an entity who can't even provide proof of his "work"? Seeing is believing you know. If I can't see him, I sure as hell am not going to believe him.

Then do us all a favor and don't let the door hit you on the way out. Clearly there's nothing for you here but a bunch of non-believers who adamantly reject your god and its message.
Quote:They are to inform people and leave an example of acceptance and respect.
Totally opposite of what your god is all about. Non-believers are better examples of acceptance and respect. We let you in here, after all. Look at all the religious forums that immediately ban an atheist (or any other person) the moment said person doesn't agree with the religious and their ideals. Can't say we do that here. We have many theists who have been a part of these forums for YEARS.
Quote:Your rejection of the Bible has nothing to do with its veracity.
Yes it does. The lack of proof and evidence is exactly why I reject it and the nonsense it contains. Lack of accuracy is why I reject it. The simple fact that the first two chapters of Genesis directly contradict each other are reason enough to reject it. The bible has NO veracity because you can't verify any of the information contained in it, via a measurable or proven method.
Quote:The means of connection to God are not through a shining conveyor belt, but by your mind, which he respects and leaves alone until you give him permission to connect with you.
People will allow a drug to take over their minds, but they won't allow God to comminicate to them, even though he will never harm or manipulate them.
Does the flood ring a bell?
Genocide?
How about what he cursed Eve with after some fucking talking snake convinced her to eat an apple that she promptly gave to Adam.
How come there are no talking snakes in the present day?
Your bible and your god are made up. Nice try though.
