Christian answering questions.

DNA. Red blood cells of the T-rex, dino bones that haven't been fossilized, evolutionary scientist are scrambling to make up stories that just do not explain why or how these things could possibly happen since the sciences say they are impossible.

Given your record, I assume that by 'scrambling to make up stories' you mean 'examining the evidence'.

Then why has Brahma not contacted me, God the creator has.

GC

That's not the question you should be asking.  The question you should be asking is: "why has god contacted me and brahma contacted them?"

Exactly!!  Every believer of every god is quite sure that they have received messages from that god, and theirs is the right one!  
And if you had been born in India, you can be sure that it was Brahma that would contact you - geography, family, and all that.

Nearly 8 billion people on this planet, about 2 billion are xtian, but they are divided into little warring sects that think only their group is going to heaven. They believe that more than the 6 billion OTHERS alive on this planet today (plus every human that has already died who didn't worship Jeebus) is going to fry forever in hell because they didn't belong to the right group.  And this doesn't bother them one bit because it's gawd's will and THEY HAVE IT RIGHT.  That mindset is sociopathic tribal evil incarnate.

 This statement atheist do not understand eternity as it relates to God, nor do they understand what is meant when God is said to be omnipresent. Tell me how God could be vial when He made a way for you to spend eternity in a place unimaginably awesome. I'm sorry your parents were part of those who couldn't defend what they believed, especially against science. I'm ot saying science is bad, I'm saying there is bad science out there, just as there is bad Christian beliefs and thinking out there.

"Eternity as it relates to God" - there is no afterlife.  There is no God.  
You will have to prove to me that a deity exists before any of the gibberish that followed those statements will have any meaning or relevance.  We need either hard data or have the guy finally show up and prove his own existence.  You would think that would be an easy thing for the creature that created billions of galaxies.

 It would be simple for Him to show up as show himself to you, but you would fall over dead at seeing His glory, what good would that do. God has said everyone will understand that I exist by looking at nature, that no one will be without excuse. So making up excuses is a exercise in futility. Actually I don't believe you have an answer to my questions, do you.

My proof is everything and if you deny it you are wrong.

Is misspelling 'vile' your new character gimmick or something? Because it really sucks.

 Just a lack of my brain when it comes to spelling never was my strong point. I do find it quite a gimmick of atheist to point out minor things and ignore the question and/or statement I take it they can't answer the question or statement with anything reasonable.

GC

We find it amazing that someone can be so dense that they continue to misspell a word after it literally being pointed out a dozen times in subtle, humorous, or face-saving ways (face-saving for you, to be clear); and when someone finally can't take it anymore and comes out and says 'You're spelling it wrong' you bash them for pointing it out. Pretty much everyone worth admiration appreciates having such obvious mistakes pointed out for them and takes it in good grace. But I can see how someone who's position revolves around not learning anything wouldn't like having their spelling corrected either, and would consider it just another reason to bash atheists.

I'm familiar with the Brights movement, but personally do not want anything to do with it.  I also don't recall anyone here self identifying as such.

@GC since you claim "you call yourself Brights" perhaps you could produce something to actually back up that claim?  Or is this just yet another argumentum ex culo that you're so fond of?

 I wasn't referring to myself, please reread what I said. By the way how's not smoking going haven't heard in awhile.

GC

You can be very frustrating to have a conversation with, GC. No one thought you were talking about yourself.

 I meant what I said, they have no real answers so they "made up stories," what else could they do to try and save face with their peers. They didn't use science or they would simply have said these things are not possible with the sciences we use. Hint: red blood cells that are not refrigerated will deteriorate within a week, this is a fact.

Ahh, the old "you're not reading it with spiritual discernment" argument. A classic.

Except that most of us still were Christians when we undertook a serious study of the Bible. Also, "spiritual discernment" is simply another way of saying "I read it and my interpretation is correct because I think I'm guided by an invisible fairy", and ignores the fact that every Christian on this planet gets a different (to some degree) interpretation from the same sets of passages... especially given the tendency to "cherry-pick" favorite parts while ignoring the ones that are more problematic. Or worse, they make excuses for genocide and other inhumane actions by their deity, while pretending that we're the ones who can't see The Truth™.

As has already been pointed out to you, GC, the question is not "why do you think god talks to you" but "why do the Hindus also think their gods talk to them, and offer them guidance?" You're turning a blind eye to the commonality between your religious ideas and those of others whom you consider to be worshiping nothing, as we do. "Not my religion," you say, "It's all those other humans who are hallucinating their interactions with imaginary gods and making poor excuses why their scriptures are the True Revelation from God™!"

...Because it's utter bullsh*t, sourced from right-wing christian propaganda.

And when people here go to an atheist site to source what the Bible actually says isn't what you are accusing me of. Funniest thing about this whole thing is you and the rest can on say my source is bias and make no attempt at showing what I posted wasn't true. Round and round you go to avoid the truth.

For the love of Mike, it says the same thing whether you source it from an atheist site or a Christian one. Conservapedia is worse than right wing or Christian; it's very badly researched and the contributors and editors couldn't care less whether anything on it is actually true.
