If you lived in Jesus' day, how would you of responded?

[Revelation777]

If David Blaine whispered that in everyone's head would you think he was God?

It'd be a damn sight more convincing than some elaborate plan of impregnating a virgin in the middle east and mind controlling the offspring to spread some hippy message of love before being sacrificed for all of humanity and then supposedly being resurrected but no one really saw it but we have to 'believe' blah blah blah bollocks bollocks bollocks.

There's better ways to communicate the message across than what god's apparently tried, and if I can think of a few then he's either deliberately being vague, he's shit at communicating, or, maybe, just maybe, HE DOESN'T FUCKING EXIST AND IT'S ALL A LOAD OF SHIT.

Our finite minds certainly don't know better than God. God didn't ask our input on how to do things.

Only Jesus' sacrifice can pay the price for our sins.

Jesus can blow my sins out his ass.

Remarkably merciful, the Lord allows sinners to repent even after insulting Him.

Today only 15% of the world''s population is in that state,

I'm not so sure that is something to be proud of.




People are dispossessed from the land and end up living in garbage dumps.

Russia spends tens of billions on the Olympics, America spends hundreds of billions on defense, the avg. person in the world makes $3/day. Yep, we advanced.

As far as I know "Spring-healed Jack" didn't turn the world upside down. Doesn't have countless books and songs written about him. Doesn't have millions if not billions of true followers. Doesn't have people who sacrificed their lives because of him. Just my thoughts.

The Beatles were more popular than Jesus. And they actually exist(ed).

As John Lennon if there is no heaven now.

The miracle He did in my life happened at age 16.

And what did you think was a "miracle?"

If I explained you would either not believe me or mock me.

And what did you think was a "miracle?"

My bet is that it doesn't involve an amputee whose limbs regenerated.

A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah." Jesus then left them and went away.

No.

Those are the mental gymnastics that you have to perform to justify your uninformed opinion. If you're interested in the subject, address it. If you're not, then meaningless snipes are fun in your world I guess

You must have forgotten where the burden of proof lies. Sorry but your attempts to connect the dots between reality and this imagination of yours is a hopeless endeavor. Even you Christians proudly admit, thoughts and words fail to convey God...precisely as we would expect from a primitive fantasy founded on pretzel logic.

Creation itself testifies that there is a God.

That's how Christians think. You tell yourself God is responsible for virtually every happenstance (except the bad stuff, duh, that's man's fault), irregular or not, because your minds are convinced that your unjustified preconceptions about reality are confirmed by just about any occurrence that mystifies you.

No.

God is righteous, man is not.

If I explained you would either not believe me or mock me.

You would most likely richly deserve both.

A fine example for demonstrating how science falsifies the Bible.

Revelation777 Wrote: I don't need empirical evidence that He existed when I know how he changed my life and many others.

[Cyberman]

The single book is inspired by God, why would I need another book?

And we're supposed to be the closed-minded ones?

Our finite minds certainly don't know better than God.

I know better than "God". I know that owning another human being as property is wrong. I know that the stars are not merely lamps attached to the sky. I know that sterilising the planet with a flood and then reseeding all the lifeforms you just wiped out is not an effective method of eradicating 'evil'; especially for an entity usually defined as infinitely powerful.

God didn't ask our input on how to do things.

Pity, because going by the mythology the character would seriously have benefitted from some competent advice.

Jesus can blow my sins out his ass.

Remarkably merciful, the Lord allows sinners to repent even after insulting Him.

Yet the grassroots faithful are so thin-skinned that they're programmed to see offence everywhere and apply what they pass off as condign action to silence critics. It's almost as if this "God" has all the power of the nonexistent and can't even take offence by itself, isn't it?

And what did you think was a "miracle?"

If I explained you would either not believe me or mock me.

Isn't that what you're expected to expose yourself to, though? The Martyr Card and all that?

Fine. Now demonstrate that and support the testimony. I'll start you off: which god?

Every example you take is out of context. Furthermore, as much as you may think so you don't know God's motives or can compare to His knowledge or wisdom. Lastly, you judge God but He is the one who is sovereign and judges. He doesn't have to give account to man.

- To those who place God in the same category as Zeus and Peter Pan, that will all change once stand before Him at the end of our lives.

How can you give a blanket statement about the "grassroots faithful." Would it be fair for me to say that the "grassroots atheists" are all this way or that way?

Bible says don't cast your pearls...

Hey revs:

You say "God is righteous, man is not"

I say God is fictional, humanity is not.
