atheist (though personally I believe if you truely do think
about it, that you will become one soon enough) there are a few people on this board (like JW) who has thought long and hard
about god and rationalized it enough to still be a believer and make some sense, but fred, I will not be even remotely swayed to understand your
point if you only use the bible as your bullhorn.

what's absolutely hilarious
about this is that there is literally no
point to becoming an
Atheist in terms of benefit, what has Atheism ever contributed, maybe you can say the same
about religions but i just don't believe your going to «convert» people to Atheism there is no reward, no promise, and no hope, its basically like yea we are all in trouble lets all believe it together, people already know that Atheism doesn't need to tell them, stop destroyed people's hope
but thats not what i'm talking
about... i am discussing the god you claim to worship... even if you believe jesus was god on earth it doesn't matter for if you take what he had to say as law then you should take with equal fervor words and commands given from god itself... it stands as logical to do this and i am confused since most only do what jesus said... the dude was only here for 30 years and god has been here for the whole time — he has added, taken away, and revised everything he has set previous to jesus and after his death... thru the prophets — i base my argument on the book itself, so if you have a counter argument i believe you haven't a full understanding of the book — and that would be my overall
point... belief without full understanding of or consideration to real life or consequences for the hereafter is equal to a childs belief in santa which is why we
atheists feel it is an equal comparision... and santa is clearly a bs story... based on real events from a real historical person but not a magical being by any means!
The religious are relentless in their pursuit to force everyone to conform to their way of thinking that I personally think it's

point is that there is a lot of open space for thought
about the nature of God or a higher power —

atheists do nt.
