You aren't the least bit disturbed or stressed by the fact that you call yourself a Christian, yet I'd be willing to bet most of the Christians out there will never agree on everything they believe in? How is that even logically possible? If all of these people truly believe they are going to heaven, but lead very different lives, why is yours right? How do you know Satan hasn't counterfeited your beliefs in advance? If I am to believe in something, there better be some damn good evidence for me to accept what I'm reading/hearing/seeing is true. Otherwise it is just a giant waste of time and we are but a flash in the grand timeline of the universe. It's not worth it. I understand you believe what you believe, but man... I couldn't just pretend to believe in things "just incase."

Your claims that you have the correct interpretation of God are no more substantiated than the claims in the bible. For all you know God really is an evil asshole - your simple assertions that he is not are just as meaningless as the bible it's self.

Understand?

I do not claim anything except my belief. I am getting the feeling that you are trying to persuade me that atheism is correct.You can stick to your view and I will stick to mine.

No no no no no no no no no. No. This is not about persuasion, this is about intellectual honesty. If you expect people to understand why you believe in something, you'd better damn sure be able to understand why yourself. Faith is also a crap answer since it basically means belief in something without evidence or proof. You can believe that a leprechaun is mowing your yard while Santa is giving you a Swedish massage - but if you want others to understand your beliefs, or even believe you, you need proof. Plain and simple.

So the bible is wrong and you have your own view of 'god' based on ................

Congratulations, like everyone else you just invented your own god. Be happy together.

(Don't expect many converts around here.)
