          I don’t see people walking on water, God talking from the heavens in a booming voice, 800 year old people, talking snakes, etc.

          Your “evidence” is “testimonials”. Let’s be real. God could make it obvious he exists. He doesn’t because he isn’t real. Convincing yourself in your head that God is real isn’t evidence.

          People also say they have been abducted by Aliens. Is that “testimony” proof aliens exist?

          I know I’m not going to change anyone’s mind but I just always find it hilarious that some of the most mean, hyprocitcal, and judgmental people think they’re special and going to live for eternity in a another demension.

          These people are so narrow minded and stuck on themselves that they haven’t even considered that there are thousands of other religions out there that think the same thing.

          I get it. You “picked” the “correct” religion so you’re right and everyone else is wrong. Lucky you.

          Is there an after, after-life?

          I believe in my heart and soul that there is an afte,r after-life and if you worship God’s God in Heaven, you will gets to this after life that exists after heaven which is much better. You just have to have faith.

          You can’t prove this after, after-life and God’s God don’t exist. If you don’t believe me you’re going to hell.

          See how this game works?
          This guy wants you believe what he says...this guys a clown, plain and simple.

                Athiests aren’t saying they have the answers to the universe. We’re just saying that there isn’t evidence for any type of God, therefore, we do not believe.

                Believing in what ever religion you pick is lazy imo. It’s the easy way out.

                We probably won’t answer the questions of our existence in our lifetime but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try.

                Also, I find it ironic that relgious people make fun of the Big Bang theory, evolution, natural selection and genetic mutation.....you guys believe in an invisible man in another demension outside of space. At least the scientific theories I’ve listed have some evidence behind them.

                It’s hard for people to grasp things. There has to be a reason we’re here. There has to be a creator. There has to be a beginning, etc. maybe all of those assumptions are wrong.

                If there has to be a creator, who created God? If you believe God always was, then why is it far fetched to believe that certain elements like hydrogen and nitrogen always existed in the universe?

                I’m probably getting way to deep here....it’s easier to read and ancient book and just believe non-sense I guess.
                Big D,

                God has always existed and always will. Read 1st Gen. The reason why I think a lot of people can't grasp eternity is because we ourselves were created. Our minds do not grasp forever. It's kind of like a small child not grasping how they were born, but have faith enough to believe that you and your wife brought them into the world. He or she would just accept that at face value.

                I do not make fun of the Big Bang theory, I think it's an ideology that does not hold water. When I read through the pages of the Bible, I believe it holds water. One of them being the archeology that has been dug up over the years. Another is the eye witness accounts written in the gospels by different authors that corroborate what the others wrote and witnessed.

                Again, I invite to read an excellent book written by a former athiest who set out to prove his wife wrong when she became "Born Again". He was a high powered lawyer who traveled and spoke to many scholars on both sides of the issue and penned his findings in the book. The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel. An excellent read for people on both sides.

                Take care man and you bring up valid questions but I think they can be answered .

                  You seem level headed. I can live with that. We just disagree. That is fine.

                  Again, you can’t prove the Bible to an Atheist by telling them to read the Bible.

                  That’s like me telling you that Christianity is wrong and the Quran is correct....just go read Quran 02:256 (Surah al-Baqarah).

                  There is a lot of science and archaeology that doesn’t agree with the Bible too.

                  As far as eye witness accounts, where is the video and pictures? Are you talking about eye witness accounts in the Bible? Again, you can’t prove the Bible by quoting the Bible.

                  Everyone has smart phones now. Where is all of the the video proof? If God existed, he would surely make it well known since half his commandments are about bowing down and worshipping him. He wouldn’t leave any room for debate.

                  A long time ago when the Bible was written, God would always talk to “one” person and that person would pass the gospel by word of mouth and then 30 years later someone else would write it down...don’t you think that is weird? Why wouldn’t God just talk to the entire world.

                  Basically, if God existed I would see super natural things every day when I walked outside. I don’t. Instead I see people struggling to make ends meet, pain, suffering, natural disasters, war, etc.

                  Show me video of a talking snake, man walking on water, person living for weeks inside of a whale, or a 900 year old person. Then I’ll believe.

                  Atheists don’t believe because there is not evidence. In life or even a court of law we always require evidence. Why are relgious books different?

                  Anyway, I’m sure you don’t believe in other religions for the same reasons I don’t believe in yours. That’s the irony here.

                  A lot of Christians disregard other religions and haven’t even read other relgious books or studied them. I try to read as much about all of them as I can. That’s probably why I’m an atheist.

                    I have to believe that we ( except Bobby waves) are smarter than those who lived here 2000 years ago.
                    A lot of the believers come off as hypocrites IMO. They embrace the same science (when they are sick) to make them better but, they condemn that same science when it tries to explain them why their religious beliefs might be misguided.

                      Everyone knows that Koresh is coming back to take all the Branch Dividians to heaven with him. I am headed down to Texas to join up before it's too late.

                        Yep. I think I’ve touched on this like 5 times throughout this thread.

                        2000 years ago when people were sick, they prayed and died of common illness.

                        Today, people goto the doctors and they’re fine in a few days.

                        If God is real and prayer works, why would a relgious person ever goto the doctor? Why not just stay home and pray?

                        This is the hypocrisy that drives us Athiests crazy. The hard problem arguing or debating relgious people is the double standards and hypocritical answers.

                        Example: Something good happens. All glory goes to God. Something bad happens. God is mysterious and we can’t understand his perfect plan.

                        You can’t have it both ways.

                              I love when posters tell me I'm wrong....while offering nothing in terms of a rebuttal.

                                I told Koresh to check for me on the UFO in the comet as well. Both guys were telling the truth, just like all cult-religious leaders do. I am a little partial to Koresh. He didn't make me cut off my nuts like Do did.

                                  I just ask simple questions. It should be easy to answer for the believers.

                                  Example: Why do Christians goto the doctor and rely science to get better? Why don’t they just stay at home and pray?

                                  Why did you choose Christianity over the other thousand religions and denominations? What makes Christianity right and the otherswrong?

                                  I’m told by Christians I’m going to hell for not believing I. Christianity and I’m told by Muslims I’m going to hell for not believing in Islam. Which is it? How do you have 100% faith?

                                  When I ask a questions like these, people seem to get angry, they don’t answer it, and now some are saying to close the thread? When people do answer they quote what relgious book supports their religion.

                                  I’m not attacking anyone. I’m conversing about this topic.

                                  If people have faith and believe in something, why are these questions so hard to answer? Why does it turn into, I’m taking my ball and going home?

                                  If you’re sick of the dialogue, don’t participate. No one is forcing you to post in this thread.

                                    Why did you choose Christianity over the other thousand religions and denominations? What makes Christianity right and the others wrong?

                                    I’m told by Christians I’m going to hell for not believing I. Christianity and I’m told by Muslims I’m going to hell for not believing in Islam. Which is it? How do you have 100% faith?

                                    When I ask a questions like these, people seem to get angry, they don’t answer it, and now some are saying to close the thread? When people do answer they quote what relgious book supports their religion.

                                    I’m not attacking anyone. I’m conversing about this topic.

                                    If people have faith and believe in something, why are these questions so hard to answer? Why does it turn into, I’m taking my ball and going home?

                                    If you’re sick of the dialogue, don’t participate. No one is forcing you to post in this thread.

                                    God put Dr's on earth and staying home and praying should be done on a daily basis

                                    I tell you the truth than no one comes to the Father but through me -Jesus Faith comes through believing

                                    I don't get angry because I understand why people don't believe

                                    Faith is a very hard thing but if people really open the hearts they will see

                                    Please do not close this thread as it's a challenge for me to prove God does exist

                                    It's good thought and conversation

                                    Okay I'm done for now Big D lol

                                      I appreciate your response. We just disagree and that’s ok. Here are some of my thoughts.

                                      Originally posted by RangeFinder

                                      How do you know this? I’m asking because many times I have found that relgious people make up things on the fly. Anyway....

                                      Doctors didn’t always exist...or at least, the science, machinery, and medicine we have today didn’t exist a 1000 years ago.

                                      People died from very common things 100s of years ago that are simple to cure today

                                      This makes no sense. Instead of having to “put” doctors on earth and letting billions of people die over thousands of years while science evolves and people learn, God could have just created a world free from disease...

                                      Do you not see the problem when you really think about it?

                                      I guess God cares more about people in the year 2018 than he did about all of the mothers and children dieing during childbirth in the year 800???? See how this doesn’t make sense?

                                      Christianity is the only religion that makes sense? Says who? You?

                                      This is another problem. Muslims and Jews say the same thing about their religion. Catholics and Baptist day the same thing about their denomination. There is absolutely nothing that makes one religion more believable than the other. You have chosen to believe Christianity.

                                      Prophecy and testimony are the weakest forms of evidence.

                                      Muslims believe Muhammad flew to heaven on a winged horse. There is testimony of that. It doesn’t prove anything.

                                      Typically people develope beliefs based on wha their parents taught them and the culture they live in. This is very evident when you step outside of your world you live in and look around the globe.

                                      I look at things objectively. I Don’t believe outlandish claims that have no evidence andd I don’t live in fear of something that most likely doesn’t exist.

                                      I also understand how hard it is for people to change. If you have had something beaten into you you’re entire life and you’ve been threatened to the point of not even questioning it, you’re probably going to continue to believe it.

                                        BigD as Christians we feel value in suffering, suffering purges us of the things
                                        in this world, it brings us closer to God, as Jesus suffered for our sakes.
                                        Suffering is part of our trial here in this world, and we look forward to the
                                        end of all suffering and all evil and time itself in the very end - and then
                                        there will be a new beginning.
                                        Until that time, we understand our existence not in terms of this world, but rather
                                        in terms of being pilgrims here, a passage on our way to eternity. We are not afraid.

                                          Thank you for the response.

                                          Like I said, this isn’t me out to prove anyone wrong. This is me asking questions. Relgious people can’t prove Athiests wrong and Athiests can’t prove Christians wrong.

                                          It’s just a dialogue and sharing of ideas.

                                          I can understand why peole would choose to believe in religion. I was once relgious myself. I think it was rangefinder that said he understood my doubts....regardless of our beliefs, at least some of the people in this thread can understand where the other person is coming from.

                                            BigD, I'm glad you appreciated my reply. Perhaps you are listening..
                                            This discussion about atheism (anti-theism, non-theism) is very complex.
                                            It can be approached by various standards. There is a philosophical standard,
                                            that not being the only one, but one that may be accessed through study and
                                            thought, without delving into physical manifestations, miracles, history, or
                                            experience itself.. Last night I watched this show. The author has two books.

                                              Interesting story I heard last night from a drinking buddy.

                                              He sells hearing aids part time at Sams club. A big old fat woman strolls up to him in her electric scooter and starts
                                              reading him. She was a psychic.

                                              She asked him what his dead mother's name started with, a D or an E. He said a D. She proceeds to say his mother
                                              is beside him and is very proud of how hard he's working to support his daughters. He has two. The psychic then
                                              says his mother is upset about him and his brothers are not getting along. He has 3 brothers who are not getting along.

                                              He had to walk away, because he was getting upset, telling her he had other things to do.

                                              The above story is confirmation of life after death.

                                              From what i understand, you don't need to be a member of any religion or God to go home after your life here.

                                                A lady on a scooter at Sams doesn’t confirm life after death to me....I have no idea how much of that is true or imbellished either.

                                                I’m not trying to be an ass, just saying.

                                                Also, I thought the Bible warned against psychics?

                                                I don’t believe in God, psychics, the Easter bunny, tooth fairy, etc.

                                                There are many times so called “psychics” get it wrong. Sorry, I just don’t believe the BS

                                                    He sells hearing aids part time at Sams club. A big old fat woman strolls up to him in her electric scooter and starts
                                                    reading him. She was a psychic.

                                                    She asked him what his dead mother's name started with, a D or an E. He said a D. She proceeds to say his mother
                                                    is beside him and is very proud of how hard he's working to support his daughters. He has two. The psychic then
                                                    says his mother is upset about him and his brothers are not getting along. He has 3 brothers who are not getting along.

                                                    He had to walk away, because he was getting upset, telling her he had other things to do.

                                                    The above story is confirmation of life after death.

                                                    From what i understand, you don't need to be a member of any religion or God to go home after your life here.

                                                        I’m not trying to be an ass, just saying.

                                                        Also, I thought the Bible warned against psychics?

                                                        I don’t believe in God, psychics, the Easter bunny, tooth fairy, etc.

                                                        There are many times so called “psychics” get it wrong. Sorry, I just don’t believe the BS
                                                        You are here just to be opposite of the conversation. You were raised Christian. You never read those other
                                                        religious holy books, who are you bullshitting? You can't even go on youtube to listen to those who died
                                                        and came back. IE: doing your homework.

                                                        That psychic went to him out of the blue. No money exchanged hands. She was dead on with everything
                                                        she said. Either she's a mind reader or someone who can communicate with the dead.

                                                        If you don't believe it, I couldn't give a shit that's on you.

                                                          She asked him what his dead mother's name started with, a D or an E. He said a D. She proceeds to say his mother

                                                          says his mother is upset about him and his brothers are not getting along. He has 3 brothers who are not getting along.

                                                          Good example ... one I will try to shed some light on. As I’ve said my mother does this kind of thing and “ psychic “ is just a word to describe this gift. Why God gifts these particular ones, idk. My ma can’t quote one verse of the Bible, yet Gods using her, when I got the revelation from God that “ Jesus loves these people “ it’s a unique experience that has been distorted ... you should tell your friend “ Jesus loves him “... because that’s the honesty but there are some people that are pretty slick and good with questions ...

                                                          cold reading, like picking up on certain things, a guy has a ring “ oh, your old lady gave you that “ ...” oh, your hands are tough or your tooth is chipped, you must be a fighter or a hard worker “ ...

                                                          there’s a difference between assumptions and an actual vision .. and there can be a grey line between both sometimes from what I understand... but God is using that woman to show something science can’t explain, it’s the world of the “ unseen “ ... a very real world.. was she genuine ? Maybe .. the way you explain it, definitely can be possible .. the problem is she doesn’t know it’s from God, and probably doesn’t know Christ.. as gypsie type of people also have this gift, some of them anyway.. but for money and entertainment .. is different from the meaning of discreet, personal, and FREE ... When I told my ma that Jesus loves these people, she started seeing nothing but crosses.. and most of her what I call “ visions “ have been about religious circumstances .. she even told a muslim guy his dad and him have the same name... they did... Religious, God loves them... He wants people back in His Sons name..

                                                          so yea, there’s gifts and anyone can have them.. but to UNDERSTAND why they have them and the reason for it, is different than trying to make a career out of it... it’s abuse of one of God’s gifts, and I think they will have to pay for what they are doing at a later time, and just wearing a cross doesn’t mean they are Christian... following after Him, and trying to live a Holy lifestyle is and can be done correctly with another gift of the Holy Spirit working through them.. they wouldn’t want your money or to be a celebrity out of it either... that’s not God, that’s another spirit involved confusing them and confusing others like you.... with Gods gifts...


                                                          thanks for the post .. and don’t forget to tell your friend .. Jesus loves him.

                                                              One more thing I have to mention...

                                                              My ma was seeing all kinds of other things besides crosses, until SHE BELIEVED ME ... She believed her son was right and telling her A TRUTH.. This truth was validated by seeing all of the crosses and religious stuff that was not happening before..

                                                              believing someone is a big thing, especially when it MEANS something... THE HEART is why God chooses people for certain task s and jobs .. He knows our capabilities and knows what we can handle ... He uses people for His work based on what they are qualified to deal with and handle.. and because He can, He’s God.. can use the lame and ignorant to confound the wise sometime, it’s just part of God’s character to be able to do so.. He used a young boy to kill a giant goliath.. God does what He wants... BELIEVE HIM.

                                                                religious holy books, who are you bullshitting? You can't even go on youtube to listen to those who died
                                                                and came back. IE: doing your homework.

                                                                That psychic went to him out of the blue. No money exchanged hands. She was dead on with everything
                                                                she said. Either she's a mind reader or someone who can communicate with the dead.

                                                                If you don't believe it, I couldn't give a shit that's on you.
                                                                “I can’t even go on YouTube and listen”. Lmao. Seriously dude? That’s your evidence? YouTube?

                                                                I figured actually reading the relgious books is how you educate yourself. I never realized “YouTube”, which was created in 2005, was what it meant to “do ones homework”. Lol. What a joke.

                                                                It’s people like you I’ve been referencing when I talk about how relgious people try shove crazy things down people’s throats with no evidence.

                                                                And yes, I have read much of those relgious books. Not cover to cover, but probably more than a lot of Christians have who have unwavering faith in their religion and don’t even understand other religions.

                                                                So go ahead and get angry and start cussing. You’re proving my point. You’re supposed to be a “man of god”...remember?

                                                                I ask simple questions you can’t answer. You get pissed off and tell me to goto YouTube. Got it.

                                                                Maybe you should goto Atheist YouTube pages and do “your homework.”

                                                                      As for faith moving mountains, that isn't true. If everyone in the world concentrated and had faith in God moving a mountain, it would not happen.

                                                                        My friend was just as skeptical as anyone here about psychics until he experienced it for himself.

                                                                        Those who died and came back were just as skeptical before that happened to them. Yes, there is a story on youtube about an atheist.
