JUST OPEN YOUR HEART, DAMMIT!

[Redbeard The Pink]

Wrong, we dismiss god, any god, by lack of evidence. Faith is what you are going by, since you accept one particular god by lack of evidence.

You have no evidence He doesn't exist, so you must use faith to dismiss God, it's by necessity.

Two things. First, I'm sure you've been told before that it's not up to us to come up with evidence that he doesn't exist. I'm sure you've also been told that dismissing the existence of something doesn't require evidence, it only requires a lack of evidence in the existence of said thing.

Second, while there may not be evidence that a deist god does not exist, there is definite evidence to demonstrate that your Gaud is a work of fiction contrived by ignorant bronze-age and iron-age humans with antiquated, barbaric moral practices and virtually no understanding of science or the natural world.

Furthermore, you could claim anything exists as long as there isn't evidence to say that it doesn't.

You can't prove Santa doesn't exist! On December 24th I left cookies and milk by the tree, and when I woke up the next day the cookies and milk were gone and there was presents under the tree. You can't explain that. Thus, Santa is real!

@ Thena323, I asked a plain and simple question in post #92 and you have tiptoed around it because you're afraid to answer it. I'm going to ask it one finial time to see if your courage has gained you. Did your church teach you that the Holy Spirit was necessary in learning the scriptures and what denomination was your church?

There's no need to accuse me of lacking courage because the semi-delusional, rambling quality of your posts consistently lacks cohesion, proper sentence structure, AND proper punctuation. That's your fault.

I attended both Pentecostal church and Baptist church for the majority of my church going life. I attended Bible study at some point at both churches. To my recollection, Bible study always opened in prayer. I am certain the Holy Spirit was invoked in these opening prayers. In my last year or so as a churchgoer, I only attended church periodically. It was an Episcopalian church. I never attended any Bible study there. I simply chose to go because it was quiet....there were no loud Holy Ghost hi-jinks such as speaking in tongues, being slain in the spirit, faith healing or any other fake displays of Christian magic. 

I hope that answer was good enough for you. If it's not, don't be a douche about it....just  be clear.

 Thank you that's exactly what I was wanting to know, now that wasn't so hard was it.

 For your information I do believe in the God of creation and He has made it plain that He's the only God, so I have no problem dismissing the other gods, they are not real, period. As for Nessie and Bigfoot, well let's just say they generate a lot of money and the people who make money from them will keep them alive for as long as they can.

GC

That's not what I asked and you know it.

No, you wouldn't ask that, it makes sense. As far as I could tell you were not asking anything, you were telling.

It wasn't hard once you presented your question in a clear and concise manner......after pages and pages of your rambling, disjointed posts. 
By the way, there's nothing wrong with question marks. That's typically how people determine that you're asking a question, instead of making a statement (SEE ABOVE POST).
Commas are good, too. So are periods and you know, sentences. Your post above actually contains two separate sentences. I know this may not seem like an issue in a short post, but it effects the level of clarity in your lengthier rants.

I can claim I know everything. And I can simply refuse to answer any question you have.

As such, you can't prove I don't know everything, because you can't show I don't know the answer to any specific question.

Do I know everything?

I was in my backyard, pulling weeds today. I pulled one particular weed and a beautiful lotus sprung up in its place, instantaneously. A soft wind blew (it was purple) and a single lotus leaf fell to the ground (it was silver). I picked it up and saw that it was inscribed with these words: Robvalue knows everything.
Then the leaf turned into a teardrop that evaporated in my hands and I wept.
You do know everything. 
All of you jerks out there can say whatever you like, but you simply cannot prove that this didn't happen. So that means it did. Suck on that, you faithless idiots!

[robvalue]

Since I know everything, I can confirm that happened also. And as we all know, people can't just make stuff up and write it down. What, you think all that was a coincidence? Spelling all that out? Come on! Get some science.

Good luck proving either of us wrong. I'll be round later for your souls!

Wait, I haven't got to that bit yet. But I do know everything.

[T.J.]

ROBVALUE IS SANTA!

[robvalue]

Of course!

I knew that too. I'm on a roll today!
