So skip to the bottom and what do you know, a theist claiming they were an atheist and addiction caused it and if we just find god, we will be saved.
See how I can say the same thing with fewer words.
I can do it with even fewer words: drich-like

Haha, no, that was incidental.
But kudos for noticing.

I'm really itching to counter a lot of things you brought up, but I'll resist until you open another thread, considering this is introductions.
Don't itch too much pineapplebunnybounce, not being able to sense any positive feedback here it does seem like it's time for me to be moving on, but I will leave you with this anyway...
Whoever will trust in the revealed meaning of truth will see His promised paradise where the free and infinite imagination of the Spirit of truth is the infinite realm of everything. Where this Spirit is never again threatened or offended there will be endless joy in free and endless creation.

We're all in the process of 'biting the dust' friend, it's just that some of us have found way out of this insane world hell bent on destroying itself and the least we can do is to try and share it with others. If others truly prefer the way of the world, so be it, I will do my best not to bother them again.

I rather like the way the world is - yes there are problems out there like wars, world hunger, etc. God has had a few thousand years to solve these problems and so far: nothing.
But life is a truly amazing experience. It brings me joy every day in my life. That is something that I do not want to change by looking forward to death.
Good luck on your future endeavours. I'm sure you will find people more willing to listen to yoj somewhere.
Any spelling mistakes are due to my godlessness!

Oh well, Enjoy the forums.
dodgy: I too quit smoking weed and drinking as I became an atheist. My reasoning was that I want to live and live well, toremember the living and to be there for those whom I love in the most complete way I possibly can. As for the commandments, well, I live by rules such as those quite happily without god.
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
Quote:Some people deserve hell.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

We're about to be tortured in hell for all eternity and this is the best effort you give to explain it to us who are willing to hear?
Some friend you are!!
