make appearances, to answers prayers, and to respond to the evils committed by his followers in his name. Same again tomorrow... Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni: "You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???" 
God's interaction with us seems to be inversely proportional to the sophistication of our recording technology.
He used to be really angry too. He'd have struck me dead for calling him a wank magnet. All I get now is a mild rebuke from people claiming to speak for him. Feel free to send me a private message.

I'm not picking on you two, or anyone else who discusses God, but I always try to avoid references to God. I will refer to the concept of God, but I want to be sure NOT to give the impression I am talking about anything that has been show to be real. Thus I will put "God" in quotes, by which I mean: ' The concept meant by most religious people, which they refer to as God, but which I have no good reason to believe exists in reality '. I also put the pronoun "he" in quotes for the same reason. It is much easier to find fault with the concept, than to find fault with a, ( supposed ), real deity - if "God" were really to exist, he is the boss man, the top dog, the all powerful can-do type of entity who made everything, makes all the rules, and can't be faulted. So if we find fault with "God" it's not "God" at fault but us. So . . . [ in the REAL world, "God" fails to make appearances, to answers prayers, and to respond to the evils committed by "his" followers in "his" name. ] [ "God's" interaction with us seems to be inversely proportional to the sophistication of our recording technology. "He" used to be really angry too. "He'd" have struck me dead for calling "him" a wank magnet. All I get now is a mild rebuke from people claiming to speak for "him". ] My intention is that I don't want to give theists the impression that I am conferring any value upon their claims that "God" exists. The idea is to show that the concept of "God" as proposed by others is ridiculous, logically unsound, lacking in evidence etc., and if real would be unworthy of praise, to boot. Fortunately, on the latter point, there is no good reason which I have found, to accept the reality of any such thing as "God".
There are no atheists in terrorist training camps.
Hence the fact I refuse to use capital lettering in reference to said imaginary being.
Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni: "You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???"  Quote:Christianity has such a contemptible opinion of human nature that it does not believe a man can tell the truth unless frightened by a belief in God. No lower opinion of the human race has ever been expressed.

God made access to Him as easy as drinking water. Your faith is accounted for righteousness and not your life long obedience. God made the terms and it's simple. His mercy is rich but there is a ceiling and after the second coming, it's too late; just like when the doors of the ark were closed before the flood. daniel the thing is that you have to convince them first that there is a God and that Jesus is the way to God . you have to back up your claim that God exists and Jesus is the way to salvation what youve said so far isnt convincing that its true
Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people Living for today
 Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you will join us And the world will be as one - John LennonThe easy confidence with which I know another man's religion is folly teaches me to suspect that my own is also - Mark Twain  (October 30, 2015 at 10:51 pm)jenny1972 Wrote:(October 30, 2015 at 5:02 pm)sinnerdaniel94 Wrote: Listen, the way is simple and narrow and easy.

It is exactly as if god's willingness to hazard any interaction with us is inversely proportion to the sensitivity and calibration of our bullshit-o-meter. Either he is bullshit, or he is full of nothing but bullshit.
