I call you BS, does that mean you do not exist, hope, hope, hope.

See? You can't make a serious effort to demonstrate that you know God is real.

He can't and he won't because he knows he's got nothing that constitutes anything approaching testable, verifiable evidence. If he had any at all he'd be shitting it all over every thread like an elephant with a bad case of the runs.

I haven't what you consider evidence, but I have personal evidence and you can't prove I do not. As far as knowing God is real well that is all I need, the burden is upon you to find out He's real.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

All I need to read to know what you've got is a big fat goose egg. The burden of proof is always on the person who claims to have evidence.

For example: I sent you a million dollar cashiers check. I have evidence that I did. Try to prove I didn't. ----- Good luck with that.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

What if Satan is really the good guy and god is the bad one.
Kill count wise i am going with the one who has the lowest Satan wins by default.

Christians are taught in the scriptures of God we are not required to prove God, each person has to find that true for themselves by listening to God. I've found the proof through God's truth, if you miss out then you have only yourself to blame.

For example: I sent you a million dollar cashiers check. I have evidence that I did. Try to prove I didn't. ----- Good luck with that.

You do not have my post office box number, I can give it to you, if you can prove you will send the million. Waiting patiently.

The only way they are not hypocrites is if they don't claim that the bible is divinely inspired. Then they're just sort of spiritual jesusites or something, vaguely calling themselves christian.

They "believe in believing" but clearly do not actually believe praying is gonna do shit, so they do it as an afterthought to real medicine.

I know a Christian who believes Bible is inspired (the over all story, theme, teachings) but that a lot of is untrue, for example, he disagrees what the Bible states about homosexuals.

They think the bible is divinely inspired, but partly untrue? Well, I can only conclude they think that God gets things wrong then. The fact that he did so in the only reference we have about him makes God seem doubly stupid.

What your friend really means (in my opinion) is that they like the idea that it's divinely inspired, but they are still going to ignore bits that don't line up with their own morality. You know, what every religious theist does.

In other words, the Bible was inspired...by some unknown homophobic ignoramus.
