Why It Is Not Too Late To Repent And Turn To Christ

"If your god is so powerful tell it to come here and defend itself instead if sending its pawn to do it for it. Either that, or wake up and realize that you're talking to yourself. Nobody is talking back to you."

Ok here is my response: If my God is so powerful, which I believe He is. Why can't He do as He wishes? If He chooses to use a weak, simple, sinful man such as myself, that amazes me that He would be gracious and merciful to do such a thing. If I am completely delusional, well, I have not been committed yet. Angel

That's one of the points I wrote, yes. The other is that we don't want to hear what you're touting becuase it's a carbon copy of every other claim/belief that's been rebutted time and time again. Read; we don't want to hear about your beliefs. Or, rather, we don't want to hear you claim your beliefs as factually true when you have precisely 0% evidence to back it up aside fallacious arguments and proof by assertions (or beliefs).

And that you equate to being a de facto puppet to a 'god' that is supremely powerful to it being "'gracious and merciful' makes me hang my head in shame. Shame that you're willing to be a tool, a husk of a human being to be toyed with at will, and that in reality you're simply being a slave to your own imagination.

As always, with any delusion or addiction, the first step is admitting you have a problem. But you don't even realise that you do. Your selfishness and your ego drives you forward. "I'm right, you're wrong" with no consideration of the alternatives (or the outright rejection of evidenced based ideas). I hope wasting your entire, singular life for whatever version of god it is you worship is worth it. It's your right to do so, of course, but please don't bore us with the details of how great it feels. We don't care unless you've got something tangible to bring to the table.

I am sorry you feel that way. I am happy and at peace. I have never felt so fulfilled then when serving My Lord. I don't want to come across as a know it all because I don't. However, I am claiming that God knows it all. I am honored to be a messenger of the Almighty! Are you suggesting I leave the board? Is it ok if I suggest if you ignore my posts?

Dear Sir,
I believe Jesus' work on the cross is complete and paid for all sins, no need for purgatory. Another blessing is no need for 20% God's gift, ITS FREE!

So you're here to tell us that it's god that knows everything. If that's the case, see if you can get him address us. That would definitely separate you from all of the other webevangelists.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

I know this wasn't directed at me, but does apply to me. For me, I got that same peace once I became comfortable with my own lack of belief and accepted it, rather than continually fighting it. Once I realized that Christianity is most likely Hebrew mythology instead of the for real deal, I found that same peace.

Aside from that, I'm glad you're happy, just so long as you realize that a lot of us are happy for other reasons. Until you can prove your side of the story, we won't be moved by pleas to accept Jesus into our lives.

In heaven, all anyone will ever be doing is kissing god's divine ass constantly forever and ever and ever and ever and ever.

In hell, on the other hand, people will simply be absent his presence, but will enjoy the company of Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Ernest Hemingway, and Samuel Clemens, among many great others.

Call me crazy, but a hell spent autonomously with many of the world's great minds sure beats robotic ass kissing, with the likes of people like Adolf Hitler, any day. But that's just me.

I can prove that claim wrong right now.

Any being that claims to know everything can't know that for certain, because if there was something it didn't know, then it's also possible that it doesn't know that it doesn't know it; any knowledge a being is unaware it doesn't possess wouldn't appear in its approximation of what "everything" is, and so it could still claim to know everything, without actually knowing everything, and without ever knowing that its claim is wrong.

Any god that claims to know everything doesn't know if it really does know everything, and therefore doesn't know everything even from the outset.

And that, dear friends, is why omniscience is a self-refuting concept. Tongue
