Make a list, and spend one day praying only to one god, and then the next day move to the next god. When you are done, see which day was the best and which god you prayed to and viola! You've just found the One True Faith! Just have a little faith, what's the worst that could happen?
WoW! What a great, well articulated idea!
And me thinking that you didn't have an original thought?
You should be elected head Atheist here! I can't wait to implement your plan!

If my rebuttals are unoriginal, it's because the arguments I am rebutting are unoriginal.

ooooh REALLY?
Other than the Gravity theory....
I'd like your signature "cut & pastes" from past posts to corroborate your statement about how unoriginal I am!

It is the start of the process of A/S/K that will eventually have you grafted into the family. Right now you are a tare, a weed, chaff, a goat, in short undesireable. It is the undesireable that will be seperated from those slated to be with God. So don't worry neither God nor bible believeing Christians look at you as a brother/son. That said know the potential is definatly there. It simply depends on your willingness to A/S/K.
Wow. It's religion without the "god loves you" part. Drich, what denomination/church do you represent?

They are not very good with the xtian "love" are they...much better with the self-righteous bigotry though?

Thousands upon hundreds of thousands of christians, even clergy, have left the faith because your god does not answer jack shit. a/s/k is not an open invitation to wish for what you want. A/S/K is a promise by god to give a portion of the Holy Spirit to those who seek it. If the 'clergy' do not know this then they are the 'clergy' of another god.

Greasy sophistry from a liar.
I never said a/s/k was an invitation to ask for what I want ... don't put words in my mouth you filthy apologist. I'm telling you that on ANY level, whether it be completely unselfish and noble ... your angry god ISN'T there.

Their gods do not offer a relationship with any of them. Their God is not offering a literal peice of Himself to instruct and guide them to a full fillment in understanding of Him.
Seriously, pull your head out of your ass. What dipshit pulpit-thumper told you that bit of bull shit??
A simple google search will tell you that it is YOU who apparently does not know what he is talking about. Their god(s) are just as full of shit as yours but they have many practices and teachings that will allow them to gain a more personal relationship with their chosen deity. Also, please look up the definition of the word, know, because you either don't know what it means or like every other stinking apologist, you conveniently changed the definition in the middle of our conversation.
