@ orogenicman,
If you ever quote me you must also provide the link as well.
(hint: provide the green {click-able} arrow that I have demonstrated in the above post)
Otherwise, people here will not take you seriously, AND, if you misquote members, without links, you'll be nothing more than a nuisance at best, and a menace at worst.
(bold used not to punctuate points, but to simplify message)
EDIT: I'm not being a dick, I'm just keeping things on the up and up by suggesting realistic, and respectable boundaries.

I have not one, but thousands of books to back my claims. It's called science, and you may as well surrender to it, seeing as you are already only a part of it, and nothing else.
P.S.
The bible is also opinion (the opinions of hundreds of conflicting authors who all seek personal glory in their god's name (just like the church today)).
Hundreds of writers, really. I've never seen a book that disproves the existence of God, what does one look like?

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Since I didn't quote you, and since I made no mistake in who I quoted, your point, whatever it was, is moot. I don't believe anyone here who has kept up with the thread could mistake who I was quoting. It is not my job to keep others in the loop. And for the record, I've posted quotes from others exactly as I did above since I became a member, and you are the first person who has ever complained.

None the less. Someone claims to see God on a daily basis. Those people are normally in the padded room and medicated.

And none of us have ever seen a book prove god's.

Then what does he look like?
Quote:God does not torture, though He could make your punishment worse.
You just contradicted yourself. Let alone the idea of God not torturing anyone but sending people to Hell for an eternity. At any rate, why should I want to worship such a god which threatens me like that? No Christian has ever answered this question for me.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
