[Rosscoe]

You're making a claim that 'god' exists.

yes god exists but you are free to do as you chose. I hope you are a good person.

 

[Roylion]

yes god exists

And I see no evidence for that claim that you are making. You certainly haven't provided any.

I hope you are a good person.

I'm sinless. Does that count?

 

[Boston tiger]

I see no reason why I should believe your claim that 'god' exists.

One reason would be you would be on the road to internal happiness.
Another would be that you would see beauty everywhere.
Another would be that you’d realise that being human is more than being a scientist.
Less chance of committing suicide
Part of a community( 1 billion if you join the good guys)
Having a higher power that isn’t the Liberal Party .
Plenty of reasons Roy .. you just have to try.

Prove it!

None of those prove the existence of Yahweh, they are all just examples of the ploys cults use to recruit.

Another nothing post, saying 'look at things around you', proves God. You are way off. People say religious people are happier; of course they are. Many of them don't struggle with the same questions as many of us outside of faith, dismissing them under this "god" envelope (Test from God, eternal life awaits us etc etc). There are even psychological theories speaking of a "depressive realism" (look it up), where one realizes the immense amount of sorrow and suffering existing in our world and suffers depression because of it. I would love to wave my hand and say "my god did it and has allowed it to happen!", but I just can't.

 

[carltonchelsea]

One reason would be….
Having a higher power that isn’t the Liberal Party .

Had to highlight the insidious thought process that allows someone to post this!

 

[Rosscoe]

Prove it!

It requires commitment and an honest heart in search of your truth.

It took me, one hour, twice a week for around a year and a half to get the confirmation that only I knew was true.

Once again; I am not trying to convert you only god can do that.

 

[Roylion]

One reason would be you would be on the road to internal happiness.

Another unsubstantiated claim.

Another would be that you would see beauty everywhere.

Already do. Don't need 'god' for that.

Another would be that you’d realise that being human is more than being a scientist.

This makes no sense.

Less chance of committing suicide

Well I can assure you I don't have to worry about that. I intend living as long as I can, before I cease to exist, to return to the state I was before I was born. Just a bunch of atoms in different forms.

Part of a community( 1 billion if you join the good guys)

Already part of different communities is different aspects of my life. I see no reason to join that one.

Plenty of reasons Roy .. you just have to try.

Is this really the best you can do? I'm underwhelmed. They are all pretty poor reasons to believe your claim.

Your proselytizing seems to be rather ineffective.

 

[Total Power]

According to BT, No one can love unless you are a Christian. no one has a reason to live, unless you are a Christian.

Such a lovely chap, i am sure his friends (people of other faiths) and family think he is a ripper.

 

[Boston tiger]

Lol, if you want people in this thread to acknowledge your clearly undeveloped intellect, continue in the manner that your last two posts have.
It’s a big target on such a small area, please continue.

Remember when we asked you how to explain “existence” and you said Darwin. Oh we laughed and laughed.
You only have to root one goat.

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

YOUR SCIENCE, FACTS AND OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE EXISTENCE OF GOD.

CAPS LOCK WINS ANOTHER ARGUMENT.

 

[Boston tiger]

Well you keep hanging around for scraps.
Why don’t you at least try.
You keep asking for evidence of god and when we give you the steps to follow to find the evidence you don’t want the evidence anymore . Go and pray to God( don’t worry what he looks like)
Less lemur and let the real human Roy shine.

Which steps? pray? or looking at the gum tree? yeah...awesome.

Maybe that's why Christianity is on a free fall?

Sinless people get a free ticket into the festival in the sky. We're set, Roy.

Have bolded the only one that isn't horseschitte.

And it's a real good one.

Or, it was a real good one.

There are very good evolutionary reasons why religion exists. The sense of belonging to a group and commitment to its ideals has been essential to our successful transformation from small hunter/gatherer bands to much larger, complex societies based on agriculture.

Unfortunately the internet is ripping that millenia-proven model to shreds and I frankly don't know what's next. Theism offers nothing, having evolved in the millenia before the internet, and atheism, not being a religion, can't help either.

Fornication, looking at a hot woman, getting tattoos, eating shellfish, working on Saturdays, divorce are all stuff Christians do on a daily basis but it’s banned in their Bible. How do they annoy people with their religious beliefs yet violate their sacred text all the time?

Oh wait, i know the answer:

• it's old testament
• dOnT tAkE iT LiTerAlly

Carry on.

So, ask this unproven god for proof of its existence?

Yeah, that's logical.

Magic is the answer to everything.

But evolution, gee, now that's tough to believe.

The main reason that non theists haven't been able to combat the nefarious infiltration of politics by religious groups is because there's so few organised atheist or anti theist groups.

It's been said that attempting to herd atheists is akin to herding cats. For such a small group, I really admire the work of non theistic Satanists in pushing back against organized religion.

Divorce in particular is an interesting subject. Is it sinful to divorce a violent spouse?

Jesus' own words ( cant even hide under the pre-text of OT) :

But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexualimmorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

Nothing is said about a woman choosing to divorce the husband.....you know why.

Fortunately no one in their right minds believe in such rubbish.

Divorced women are shit out of luck then. No more sex for them. Are they allowed to use vibrators or is that sinful?

Same reason why you see so many women prophets in the Bible. Sum total of Zero. Have you noticed how these God fearing Xtians keep calling the God as a 'He'?
