@MilesAbbott81

The burden of proof lies on he who alleges. Religious people should know that I’m perfectly willing to believe in god(s), ghosts, mediums, demons, angels, spirits, channeling, miracles, horoscopes, astrology, psychics, Ouija boards, the supernatural, and anything else for that matter as long as they adhere to one proviso: Prove it! Don’t give me speculation, guesses, hopes, dreams, wishes, desires, beliefs, faith (or appeals to faith), or indoctrinations. Don’t give me one-time-only, non-repeatable, non-testable events. Don’t give me internal alterations in one’s psychology or physiology that can’t be tested observed, or demonstrated, only felt or believed. And don’t give me effects that can’t be clearly related to the supposed cause.


I have no objection to believing in a god as long as proof based upon a rational standard of knowledge is forthcoming. Is that too much to ask? But surely theists can’t expect me to adopt their beliefs on the basis of what has been presented thus far. Every “proof” I’ve heard and every piece of evidence I’ve seen for the existence of god(s) is easily countered by rational evidence and arguments to the contrary. No convincing evidence for the existence of any deity has ever emerged. But I’m more than willing to listen to theistic arguments or view theistic evidence as long as cross-examination is permitted. As conditions now stand, theology rests far more on superstition and faith than upon facts and reason.

And I've argued with you plenty enough before to know how stubborn and foolish you can be. Maybe you've forgotten.

But back to deceitful hearts.  Do you believe that's true..not just of Them™..or of atheists..but true, in general?  Is it true of you?  Can you give an example from your own life, your own heart?

Actually, I need to correct something I said here. God hasn't blinded you atheists to His existence. He's just given you over to openly denying it so you make fools of yourselves to those of us who haven't been given over to something so ridiculous (not to say we're any better, just punished differently). You all know damned well that there is a God but you're so adamantly opposed to taking responsibility for your sins that you've become the rough equivalent of a child plugging his ears with his fingers and jabbering nonsense to avoid hearing the voices calling you to account.

One can only do that for so long.

Reminds me of a 60-minute video that I watched in high school with my nerdy friends late one Friday night titled "How to pickup women".

I could do that now. I won’t, but I could. Wink

RE: Why you can't find God
So, according to MilesAbbott81, God exists because Bible says so, and atheists can't see him because Bible says they are fools.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Air-tight logic.

It absolutely is!  No oxygen is ever getting past that logic to invade his brain!
