**31:18** But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.Which means you are not arivving at the point using reason. Reason is open to changes in viewpoint if the current viewpoint can be shown to be wrong.
On the contrary, I did read the bible. One of the reasons I turned to atheism.
I’m no psychologist, but this whole post seems like a classical case of projection. I also think it is the knee-jerk reaction of somebody that was unprepared for their dogma to take a near fatal blow and also exposing their lack of knowledge of the Bible, the instruction manual of their religion (which they should know better).What’s your point Booger? To prove that God was a mass murderer?
You’ve interpreted it wrong… It is Man’s fault in the first place, not God’s. Man does wrong. All the punishments from God(were given because the idiots sinned) stopped when Jesus Christ died for our sins. He died because he LOVED us. That stopped the punishments and it showed love, BUT man continued to sin and do wrong. You can try all you like, but NOTHING WILL MAKE ME CHANGE my belief. YOU AND ALL THE OTHER ATHEISTS HAVEN’T READ THE BIBLE. YOU TAKE THE PARTS WHERE IT SPEAKS OF EVIL AND COMBINE IT TOGETHER ON ONE WEBPAGE, SO IT LOOKS LIKE GOD IS AN IDIOT AND A MASS MURDERER! SHAME ON YOU!!!:tsktsk:
Me too.
It breaks down to our limited intellectual capability, which is being humble and understanding we really know very little. Some scientists believe there may be up to 10 dimensions. Try this - imagine the 8th dimension. So limiting ourselves to what we can observe and prove leaves alot of unknowns out there. What we discover has been revealed to us. We know more scientifically today, than in the past - what we do not know is how much there is to know.

The desire for God is written in the human heart, because man is created by God and for God; and God never ceases to draw man to himself. Only in God will he find the truth and happiness he never stops searching for:penWindow(‘cr/29.htm’) But this “intimate and vital bond of man to God” (GS 19 § 1) can be forgotten, overlooked, or even explicitly rejected by man.3 Such attitudes can have different causes: revolt against evil in the world; religious ignorance or indifference; the cares and riches of this world; the scandal of bad example on the part of believers; currents of thought hostile to religion; finally, that attitude of sinful man which makes him hide from God out of fear and flee his call.4penWindow(‘cr/32.htm’) The world: starting from movement, becoming, contingency, and the world’s order and beauty, one can come to a knowledge of God as the origin and the end of the universe.**[33](javascript:openWindow('cr/33.htm');)** The *human person*: with his openness to truth and beauty, his sense of moral goodness, his freedom and the voice of his conscience, with his longings for the infinite and for happiness, man questions himself about God's existence. In all this he discerns signs of his spiritual soul. The soul, the "seed of eternity we bear in ourselves, irreducible to the merely material",9 can have its origin only in God.Sorry Monarchy and everyone else, i was just pissed off that time and wanted to shout at everyone. Please except for apology.
But why turn to atheism? Sorry i shouted(or it looked like i shouted lol), i was a bit pissed off at the time and couldn’t help it. Anyway most of the storys are good, they’re not bad. Most of the evil in the bible was commited by man if you read it carefully, which i just did.
It’s not a turning to atheism, it’s a realization that God cannot exist based on the tantamount of paradoxes and Biblical contradiction. It’s not like I enjoy the prospect of no afterlife, but I can’t help seeing it any other way.
But what if there is an afterlife? It seems to me it’s safest to bet that there is and then to try to find out if there are any practical implications of that in this life.
Please present the evidence or drop your argument. Atheism is hollow? Please explain.
What evidence? Please explain. Something cannot come from nothing? Please describe “nothing”. What is “nothing”? You know, defending atheism has nothing to do with “where did it come from?” If defending atheism relies on anything, it would be on exposing the logical fallacies employed by theists.
That is a naked assertion. Prove that your god exists and prove that he is not bound by time.
What is a spirit? Can you prove the existence of a spirit?
All you’ve done is given a bunch of feel good emotional pleas and naked assertions. Prove your god and prove the existence of a soul.
Argument from ignorance. “I don’t believe it, therefore it is not true.” No evidence for an atheist? This post is evidence for an atheist. Refute me.
No offence taken, I know exactly how you felt.
On the contrary, something can come from nothing. Study relativistic quantum mechanics and the standard model of particle physics.
Ergo that question does not need to be answered.
And if there were no UFOs, there would be no people not fearing alien abductions.
