Bud, if you wanted a conversation, you'd actually converse, rather than being as smug and self congratulatory as you've been so far.
Quote:Correct, you cannot see God, no one can.
So how do you know he exists?
Quote:Clearly I'm talking to an imbecile who is not capable of processing a clear conversation without getting offended at the fact that someone can actually disprove them and show them why they cannot in actuality be a true atheist.
Perhaps you could provide this rationalization of yours? So far, all I've seen are the semi-coherent ramblings of an apologist; you see, merely claiming that the bible is historically accurate and that god is real... claims mean nothing to me. Anyone can claim anything, and often they do. You're conversing in a place where people require something they can actually consider: why not post your reasoning as to how the bible is historically accurate?
While you're at it, answer me this: does this historical accuracy extend itself to the miracle claims, supernatural workings, or specifically divine events? Or is it limited to the mundane claims? If it's the latter, there's nothing there that obligates us to believe the former too: some true things in a book do not mean every part of the book is true, and extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
Quote:It overjoys me to the fact that you are clearly an ignorant person who can make no valid points. Acting like a child, congratulations, you've shown the capacity of your mindset, which is probably at the capacity of a newborn child.
Actually, I'm trying to demonstrate to you that just making the claim that something is true, and backing it up with "you can't disprove it," isn't a great way to get things done, because people can make all kinds of unfalsifiable claims, without them being true. I tried to have some fun with it, because, believe it or not, you aren't the brilliant critical thinker you seem to believe you are; not only aren't you the first one to make these ridiculous claims, you also aren't the first one to be laughed off the forum for thinking this stuff is compelling.
If you really want to road test this stuff, why not try it out in the debate area? I offered this challenge to the last person who came up as ridiculously as you have, and she bailed rather than face me.
Quote:If YOU created the universe you would not be behind a computer screen acting like a fool making points with an ACTUAL college level thinker.
Ah, but you can't disprove it. According to the logic you've displayed here so far, that makes it true, doesn't it?
Quote: And The Bible can prove the existence of God, you on the other hand cannot disprove it, and by the little mindset that you had you probably wouldn't even come close having such thoughts.
The bible isn't evidence, kitten. The bible is your claim. Some events in Spiderman comics bear out as historically accurate, but that doesn't make Spiderman real, and I also couldn't use Spiderman comics, wherein the fiction Spiderman is a real person, as evidence that such a character really existed, could I?
Why would I extend a courtesy to god that I wouldn't extend to Spiderman?

Yeah insult the mods, your smart
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

If I'm not mistaken some of the greatest scientists were Christian thinkers (such as Isaac Newton) ... and you can't use science to disprove religion, all science is are theories, then again we don't comprehend much of the science that is being studied today, by taking college level physics I'm knowledgeable of this, you have come as far as what? Believing in the big Bang THEORY?
What podunk cash grab of a university do you attend? You are speaking at a level of understanding lower than that of my 14 year old son. It's wince worthy hearing you spew these tired baby town frolick assertions.

Wow alright. So you've called me ignorant multiple times, claimed that I've never set foot in a university and that you're in your 4th year in uni?
I don't usually care divulge my educational background because I'm inclined to think that whatever I actually know or do not know will show through in what I say in my posts. But since you asked, I'm in the best university in the country with good enough grades that my education is completely funded by scholarships. As for your precious bible, I could tear genesis apart but considering your lack of understanding of, well, almost everything, I'm not going to bother, I get paid to teach biology, I don't do it for free, especially to someone as obnoxious as you.
And if you were really a university student, I think you'd know that being in uni isn't something to boast about. Just about everyone gets in. Especially since you sound like you go to the special kind where you get in if you pay enough.
Good luck with your "university".
Oh and for the record, you're one of the dumbest I've seen on this forum as well.

You mean try to insult the mods (and anyone else). It's not like this ignoramus' ranting have any validity, thus no offence can be taken, since he's so ridiculous 
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

I wonder if an ignoramus would always know when they are being insulted.
 hrug:
Maybe it would sink in slowly, eventually, gradually.
...it's like, did he just try to insult me? Nah...I'm really really smart. That wasn't even a good attempt at an insult...was it?
