His invisible qualities can be clearly seen. That's kind of a contradiction in terms, but you just have to have faith.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.

Why are you such an angry atheist? What do you hope to achieve by mocking people of faith? Do you expect them to just suddenly agree with you because you laugh at them?

Don't change the subject.

What do you think is the true nature of existence and why? Quarks that make up atoms? If so, why do you think that is the true nature of existence?

Is independent existence limited or unlimited? Tell me your reasons.

It is powerful or powerless?

Is it magical or not?

Tell me your reasons.

I don't know what the true nature of existence is, but maybe I just don't understand the question. Could you elaborate on that?

What do you mean by independent existence?

Have you ever queefed?
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

What do you say to the fact that God is the only answer to most metaphysics problems?
Why is there causality?
Why is space-time a continuum?
Who kick started all there is? Who was the prime mover?

Are you openly atheist in RL and, if so, is there a general set of reactions from the community in which you live?

I can't answer either of those, nor do I think they have answers or are in fact meaningful questions at all.
