so what if you feel insulted? however, i am not insulting you. i am criticizing your ideas. do you feel insulted when someone dislikes your fondness of naruto? if ideas cannot stand criticism there is something wrong.
"Our ability to rationalize is a test of our faith to God."
your god gives us this ability to think but when we use it, god condemns us.
what type of love is that? that is not love. that is abuse.
"And why do you think He longs for our acceptance of His existence?"
read the first commandment.
"Why would He send a newborn to Hell if they've yet to even hear of His word and His existence?"
jesus died for them too implying they had sin.
jesus said you must hate everyone except him to become his disciple. do you believe in this too?
You obviously didn't read the entire post. And either you refuse to become better informed on Christian teachings, or you have the worst interpretation of them I've ever heard. I can't believe I wasted this much time with you when you say the same thing again and again, no matter how much easier I try to make it for you to clarify each time. God forbid I use this little statement for the fifth time, cause you're just gonna ignore it again because of its legitimacy. If God didn't create life, then surely science will provide us with the "formula" by which it first came into being...wrong. No one has ever managed to make a full living cell from non-living material and as far as I'm concerned, that's all the proof I need to know that it's a secret that only God could know. For risk of getting reported, I'll leave it at this. Good-bye and good riddance.
i am atheist and the reason why i am is simply because i have no evidence to make me believe that there is a god. there is as much evidence that god exists as there is that the flying spaghetti monster exists. the bible was written by man. I do not deny the possibility that there may be a higher being because for me to say that there definitely isnt one is to say that i know everything in the all verses. i simply dont believe in god because there is no evidence to convince me otherwise. rationally thinking and logically speaking you are a fool to think god exists with the evidence that is non existent in today's world
I'm not religious at all, but I still follow ideas that closely relate to some teachings of Christianity, as well as other religions. I think that as long as you have good morals, values and are ethical in the things you do, then that's all the matters. I am also more spiritual if anything. I believe that everything is everything, after winter must come spring. We are all connected, and will be forever even after we die.
I don't ponder on what is after death because I feel people tried to rationalize their fear of the unknown in order to maintain a sense knowing. It isn't meant for us to know what is after death, that is how I see it, and I believe religion is just a way to cope with that fear. Not saying that is what it is now, because there are people who have strong faith in their belief, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Clouds stay afloat because of the very thing that forms them. A cloud's individual particles are so small that warm air rising from the earth's surface is able to keep them floating in the air.
Every single time you post, I try to reply in as polite a manner as I can, but my limit continues to deteriorate further each time. Quit being a prick by insulting those figures who matter to me, cause you know what that leads to. If morals apply without the implication of religion, then why are you constantly throwing yours aside to make rude comments with no consideration of their effect on others? I'm neither arrogant nor ignorant, you simply choose to ignore every legitimate reason I give for having faith and use the rest against me in anger. Our ability to rationalize is a test of our faith to God. Why would He allow those who believe into His kingdom when he knows that they would completely cast the very idea of him aside if they were not given proof of His existence? And enough with the simple-minded comments. You've surely already heard of His love, since you constantly mock Him for it. Why would He send a newborn to Hell if they've yet to even hear of His word and His existence? Those that the world was too impervious to inform of His message will obviously be admitted into Heaven for their own subject to neglect. And why do you think He longs for our acceptance of His existence? We're his children, just as we have our own. It's basic human emotion to feel sorrow when ignored by your own creations. It's obvious to anyone whose not so narrow-minded. Just as you said, you're not attempting to rationalize with religious people, merely criticize and insult them for believing what you find too unbelievable. Your reply to this, should you give one, will be evidence enough of that.
Why ? No evidence. Holy books are not evidence, they were created by man, edited by innumerable anon authors, conflicts itself and demands to be taken literally.
Religion is simply out dated. It was a tool created by man to attempt to explain the unknown. If anything about the human mind is absolute truth its that we do not like not knowing, and the tools to learn what we now know were not possible when religion birthed itself.
Most religions are just copy pasted from another culture anyway, this leads me further to believe it is absolutely nonsense.
Ra vs Jesus, and the 20 other deity's that share Jesus Christ's exact same story, but are older then Christ.
The problem is, even with these cold hard facts, faith is an incredible tool for brain washing. No matter what you say to a religious person they will just be insulted by the facts and go into a desperate attempt to re-claim the foundation of whatever theological beliefs they have.
No point talking about it, it will go no where. All you will get is Atheist saying Why they don't believe in god, provide a few facts and then get bombarded by "Faith Rage"
1. God set aside the seventh day for rest, now you try to work for four weeks straight, 9 to 5, working, and you'll find that you will become mentally stressed, unsettled, angry, possibly suicidal. now the reason is, because there is a certain amount of information, work, and pressure that your brain can take, and th reason you will feel mentally stressed, unsettled, angry and possibly suicidal, is because these are the actions that the body takes to tell you to stop, and rest.
this can only be of design, not accident. if anything were an accident, where do our morals come from, what is the point of charity, i mean, how does giving a dirty, skimpy, 2 legged boy on the street gonna help you in life. why would it be wrong for a father to have sexual intercourse with their daughter, who makes and writes the laws, who sets the standards that us as human beings should live by.............
almost all the laws, establishments, countries, companies, and organizations come from some aspect in the bible........for example, the business Colgate,
William Colgate, started out by giving tithe to his local church, he started out by tithing what God requested in the bible which was 10% of a mans earnings during the week, now, he started off like this, and soon after, he realised that his business was blooming, and so he tried 20%, and he his earnings basically doubled, gradually he raised it until 100% and now you find his brand in almost every single grocery store, petrol station, supermarket, bathroom, and such.
The Country of America
That country was founded by the victims of persecution, martyrs who wanted to worship God in peace, in the safety of their own home, in freedom, and thus America was founded
The Country of China has Words in their calligraphy that supports the stories in the bible (old testament)

rofl everything you said can be easily answered. also, did you forget all the innocent indians that were killed for the peaceful religious pilgrims or whoever came here to take the land and make america? guess u did.
Surprisingly enough In Islam Animals are aware of Gods existence the morning birds praise him every morning. It's a shame that we can't use our intellects and come to an understanding of Gods existence, rather we boast about our different views and segregate ourselves.

Yes i believe in Allah the one, unique, incomparable God, in the angels created by Him, in the revealed Scriptures, in the prophets through whom His revelations were made to mankind, in the Day of Judgement and life after death, individual accountability for actions, and in God’s complete authority over human destiny
"O people! Worship your Guardian Lord, Who created you and those who came before you that you may become righteous. Who has made the earth your couch, and the heavens your canopy; and sent down rain from the heavens; and brought forth therewith fruits for your sustenance; Then set not up rivals unto Allah when you know (the truth)." Holy Qur’an 2:21, 22
Seest thou not that Allah is He, Whom do glorify all those who are in the heavens and the earth, and the birds with wings outspread? Each one knows its prayer and its glorification. And Allah is Knower of what they do. — Holy Quran, chapter 24, verse 41. Call God whatever you like it is he who birds praise in the morning.

No where in the Quran does Allah refer it to "Holy" Lets not imitate the Christians and also call it Holy you can say The Glorious Quran or The Noble Quran.
Do you see me shoving my religion down your throat? Why then do you carry on quoting my comments... It's really sad that you can't be open-minded or even accept to other beliefs.
Alright this is where I step in, I'm not trying to humiliate you, but correct where you seem to lack in discussion and try to prove your point. It'd make the discussion more even then.
Someone makes a standardised argument, and you respond with something silly attempting to get the upper hand. I'm not taking it out on you, but respond with informative posts like Kobak, Pavoneo or Chakrawizard555. It helps create a more influential argument.
