Never a response. He can not provide one bit of evidence that he is not misinterpreting a natural brain state. His only argument is circular. "The Bible makes a claim, that if you follow steps 123, you will get results XYZ. I followed steps 123 and got results XYZ. Therefore, God". He cannot know that following steps 123 did not cause a natural brain state that he misinterpreted. Which is most likely the case. You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
I think the conclusion is he was always an ignorant idiot. But Christianity made him immune to any improvement.

If you have bible verses to show me, then show them already. Also, if you were a honest person, you would address the central point of my argument which is what pocaracas as well has asked of you since about page 5. He's had to restate that because of your (willful?) forgetfulness. We can all see through your shit mate.
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped. Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses. Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder. Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids." RE: Why knocking is so important.

You do know the evidence for Jesus is circumstantial, right? There were a number of people around this time who were apocalyptic prophets around whom cults sprang up. It is likely that The Jesus myth sprang up around one of these figures. And I say "myth" because portions of the gospels are historically not true. And verifiably so. Of course the existence of god has no connection to the veracity of scripture, but if it's your only tool then you're in trouble. You seem unable to provide one piece of independent evidence outside of the gospels and personal subjective experience.
If you believe because you just want to, that's fine. My mom is like that and I respect her more for admitting it. I don't want to stop you from something that works for you, provided you aren't hurting anyone. But please stop with the circular arguments.

Again, God is not some trainned monkey i can produce, to perform on your demand. I have absolutly no say in what God does. That however does not mean you can get an audience with Him. You just have to do things His way. (Think meeting the president or queen or whatever head of state you have.) you have to do it their way on their terms. So why not the God of creation? In short you become the monkey.. Which should suit most of you, just fine. (evolutionists)Get it? Monkey/evolutionists??
No.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
