A Serious Question For Theists

H0ary H0bbit Religious Views: “Never to suffer would never to have been blessed.” - Edgar Allan Poe
Arguments that are persuasive.
I deal with live problems that interest me. I'll discuss problems that people have with biblical text, for example, and every time that I remember those are explained satisfactorily from the Christian viewpoint. I've never witnessed a biblical text defeated logically. And it interests me critically to find those chinks. How many small points are covered in the bible? That's what I tackled on my journey to belief. When I'm next drawn into such a discussion I'll give you the nod. It's not fiction that I've shared reasoned arguments here before. I am certainly not unwilling to share them. I just don't keep record. You have to ask me directly. Your request is as nebulous as my answer. Hone the question and the answer will match.    How'd the moon get there, pinheads?
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. ![[Image: tumblr_n1j4lmACk61qchtw3o1_500.gif]](https://66.media.tumblr.com/5fb74c6d16622fb3dbb358509c9aec03/tumblr_n1j4lmACk61qchtw3o1_500.gif)
I'm sorry for being gone. I was on vacation.
Anyways, I was a christian for 10 years. Not once did I see a deity. People always say "have faith". The faith is a cop out. I can have faith in a Flying Spaghetti Monster, and guess what? It still doesn't exist. I want solid evidence that a god does exist. If you can't provide any, I will assume that it doesn't.  (June 18, 2014 at 7:03 pm)Rampant.A.I. Wrote: Who put the moon there?

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
I'm going to quote the last post in my 'A small thanks to the resident theists' thread.

God may not be what you think of Him.
The only evidence for their being a God should be your personal experience with Him. You lacking faith is evidence for God. |
