Fine - so there's no problem then. As long as you work your side of the street and leave us to work ours, there's no reason we can't get on with our lives in peace.

Don't worry, my friend. If this be the end, then so shall it be.

Yeah; they're nothing if not predictable, eh?
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.'

Just spreading the message, you can ignore it, or listen idc
Faith may come easily, but faith isn't knowing something, merely believing.

It seems knowledge claims about theological issues are the most ephemeral of soap bubbles. Prick them with a simple question and they burst irreparably. Until the next time.
Yes, I wax poetic on vodka.

mohammad was married to a nine year old or something. and they confuse mary the mother of Jesus with mary, moses and Aarons sister, because marium and mary are the same name in Arabic or whatever their language they use, so they messed up. moses and jesus were separated between thousands of years.
muslims think they can work their way to God's favor, when in fact God's nature is the exact opposite. They think they die for God when God died for them so they can live.
You don't even know what language Muslims speak and yet you expect us to believe anything you say? Go educate yourself, Danny. You need it badly.

God has loved you before He formed you in your mother's womb. He has known you before the world was created. He gave you life and when you were dead spiritually, He came to the rescue. He then makes you His child and loves you for eternity.
Prove it.

This guy STILL thinks that quoting the babble at us will have an effect. Isn't that the very definition of insanity: when something doesn't work, you do the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over . . .
We don't believe that gawd exists, and won't without scientific proof.

I don't believe in things because they sound nice. I believe things because there is evidence for them. There is no evidence of any of the above.
Over the Rainbow sounds nice.
But that doesn't mean OZ exists. Kansas, now Kansas exists, idiotic creationists and all.
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.

So, in your version of free will, god created me, knowing all along that I would not be convinced that he existed.
And he did this, knowing that I will be punished for eternity for the finite crime of disbelief.
Why would he create atheists knowing that we will be punished?
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 realize, this thread has moved on quite a bit.
What would I want to worship? Well, as has been said, the only being worthy of worship would be one that doesn't need or care about worship. An all powerful being, immortal and eternal would look at us like we are looking at an ant colony. And that's taking it generous. So, a being not wanting or needing worship because it's so far removed that it doesn't care. But such a being doesn't care about worship, so I wouldn't worship it and so the circle closes.
