There was a plane crash a while ago where everyone was killed except one little boy who was severely burned. In addition, his entire family was wiped out but that did not stop the religitards from proclaiming it one of their fucking miracles.
God-the-Inept needs to work on his miracles, man.
I remember an interview with a woman who's husband was saved from dying the Twin Towers. Turns out, her husband's company van pool had a flat tire on their way to work.
Of course, according to her, it was 'god' who stepped in and caused the flat tire, to save her husband.
Seems to me, that god would have been better off causing the hijackers to have a flat tire. 
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

Stand strong.
That's exactly how many of the god-botherers respond to atheism.
It's predictable. It's sad. It does not have any bearing on the real world.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Expressed his fear that I was going to hell and bringing my toddler with me. Let me know that he was praying for me. Tried to convince me that there was actual scientific proof for the bible.
Oh, and let me know what I thought and felt and he was sure to let me know that I didn't do enough research before jumping to the conclusion.
He was sure to tell me how I felt, what I thought and did these years that lead up to this decision.
He kept accusing me of straw-manning and straw-manned the whole damn time.
He was in an accident when he was young along with 9 other kids, 8 of them died and one of them was left a vegetable, he survived, therefore GOD!
I'm upset and hurt that now that he's worried about my "eternal soul" he wants to try to guilt me and talk to me more. He sent a message to me this morning letting me know that he loves me and that Jesus loves me and that he's praying for me. He never messaged me before, but now that my "eternal soul" is at risk he's gotta let me know he cares.
I'm so done. I feel so stupid for fighting for this relationship with him. I tried for so long to keep communications open with him but I can't get it in return unless I'm disagreeing with him about this horrid fairy tale.
I'm stopping now. If he contacts me fine. but I am not sticking my neck out any more. 
who ever lets a belief system between father and child is part of he problem. telling you he believes that and treating you differently because of it are different.
Then of course we would have to see your life style. No, not anything goes. If you are doing your job as a person then fine, he is wrong.
