I could ask you the same question. You actually spend a lot more time trying to pursuade people that God exists than I do trying to give a different perspective. I think it's ironic we have so many Christians on an "internet gambling forum".
Yes, you could...and i could answer for a whole different reason...like ummm that's what God calls me to do " witness " ...
Anyway, A lot of atheists or non-believers are quiet. I'm just trying to get the message out there in case someone is unsure or feels guilty because of how they were raised.
So this is your song, your testimony, your " message " of unbelief. Gotcha..
Religious people are overbearing and constantly force their views down people's throats but then they complain they're persecuted at the same time.
No they aren't ...and you can't say that about me, i don't force anything on anyone. I don't even take talking about God into other parts of the forum, if someone comes to the GOD thread then i converse or a thread like this, i might stop in... but don't tell me christians " force " their views ... that's a lie
I'm just putting some facts out there people may not know. People can make up their own minds but I think it's important they have all the information.
You hardly post any facts ...ever, what you do is tell us how smart you think you are and that people who believe the Bible are dumb, that's not presenting facts, it's lies and banter... yet you HAVENT DISPROVED ANYTHING IN THE BIBLE
For example, religious people think the earth is only a few thousand years old. Science tells us otherwise. It's been proven the earth is millions of years old based on fossils we find and basic elementary science.
Not going to debate the age of rocks and dirt ... i think it doesn't matter how old the earth is, this isn't something that is in the Bible to debate. It will change nothing if it's 4000, 4m or 4b years old. God still made it and the life forms on it,
The Bible tells us snakes can talk and people can live in whales. Common sense tells us otherwise.
satan manifested as a snake, he's also called a dragon. It is also said he can manifest and parade himself as a beaming ball of light. You just see everything as physical, carnal, and flesh. You aren't understanding the spiritual realm of things to be able to interpret and understand properly but want to give us your assessment on what you think you know of the Bible ...
Basically I presenting my evidence which relies on science, evidence, common sense, and reasoning.
Basically you are doing what I just described in the above paragraph ...
People can take what I present and compare it to want religious people say. Religious people prove the Bible by quoting the Bible. Religious people rely on faith, not evidence.
LOL .. faith is merely a start, trust is the vehicle used to get understanding from God. Our faith is constantly strengthened by things, our gifts, prophecy, the Holy Spirit, miracles happening, someone coming to God..
I wouldn't prove that a fiction book was Tru by quoting that fiction book....
It's not a fiction book, again... ALL OF THE HISTORICAL EVENTS LINE UP ... ARCHEOLOGIST USE THE BIBLE TO UNCOVER HISTORICAL EVENTS IN ISRAEL ALLLL THE TIME. It's only fake in your mind, it's very real and people are doing very real things with the information ...
It's just a debate. Nothing personal. I'm just saying that you shouldn't believe something just because you were born in to it or it's popular where you live. Use your brain. Religion is a road block to discovery imo.
Ok, so you are saying you spend so much time on it for " the spirit of debate " im assuming ...guess i will have to deal with that, but at least your mind is on it... what I'm hoping for one day, is you think about it and something clicks, stop being so foolish to think that we have reached some pinnacle and this was for old times. This is for all times beginning to the end, people were not dumb back then d, we still can't tell you how the pyrimds got there ...yet they are the dumb ones ? ...i don't think so, stop being so naïve d
