It's never a story of "I learned this and that about the universe and that logically proves..."

No no no, the logical route to Christianity is....be told to be a Christian, pretend to believe it....randomly hate harry potter while laying in bed, then you are truly a Christian.

Here's a hint, sonny. You are not "immortal." If you think so try standing in front of a moving bus and see what happens.

Wish he followed your advice. One less deluded idiot in the world.
Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

It's not according to Google. It's according to online sources that can be found by performing a Google search.

I know, I am bored and just being an asshole. Forgive me. I'm Sorry

Welcome blood_pardon and thanks for the testimony. You need some thick skin to stay around here these guys just love to brow beat christians. They are rather harmless though and most seem fairly normal.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

He's just being pretentious and revealing his ignorance.

.אלהים (proper noun only) is usually translated as 'Elohim'. IE a God

I would have thought that was blasphemy for a believer.

What were you expecting GC? It is an atheist forum after all.

And thank you for your rather patronizing comments.

@ blood pardon, I'd rather be immoral than immortal, you get more sex(and more interesting sex)
