Oxygen can be measured, just like other things you cannot see. Your lawgiving entity has no such litmus test.

Agreed, a dog does what you tell it to when you give it pieces of meat or box it's ears in. Personally, I try to put a little more effort into my motivations.
Oxygen, btw, is perfectly visible. If you have eyes. Sigh.

Maybe you do, but I don't Kok. Maybe this is proof enough for you, but not me. My standards of evidence are higher than your own, if what you need is proof of anything other than what you need.

...........

May be an evidence in the form of losing your loved one would make you change your mind. You would start saying why her? why not me? That "why" question is meant for whom? i suppose for that supreme being.

Can you drop the word need from your posts cause it is beginning to sound alot like preaching again and you already got two mods watching.

As I said before and I will say again and keep saying till you admit morals are not from your brutal sky warlord Allah, you're an amoral animal if you only do good for reward and avoid doing bad cause you fear punishment.

One can feel the presence of the supreme being if one comes closer to Him. no litmus test needed, just do good deeds, sooner or later He will make his present felt by giving those who deserve the unexpected mysterious reward. ( mod - I hope this does not sound like preaching )

Yes it does! My litmus test for preaching is, if it would sound equally as valid if you were standing on a pulpit talking to a crowd in the hope of getting your message across then it is probably preaching.

Quote:preach (prch)

To proclaim or put forth in a sermon: preached the gospel.
To advocate, especially to urge acceptance of or compliance with:
To deliver (a sermon).

To deliver a sermon.
To give religious or moral instruction, especially in a tedious manner.

The bolded sections are what you are doing!!

Not telling us we "need" anything. Do you see us telling you that you need atheism?

Well, I've been doing good deeds for a long time and haven't heard from allah, so your god must have me penciled in for "later", rather than "sooner". Again, it sounds like I don't need to worry about your god at all. I'm going to do good things regardless. So, I'll see you in paradise brother.

Quote:what is the suitable word then?, seriously my english is not good.

You've been told what the suitable words are, multiple times. Replace "There needs to be" with "I want there to be". That's what you're expressing.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies.
