Again haggispittjr you miss what jesterhawk's point was.

It's like he's offering to share a rare penny that's actually worth thousands of dollars. You took the penny and looked at it not knowing what it really is and told him he's a loser and a penny can't be split to share.

The only reason you turn him down is you don't understand it enough to realise what the treasure is.

i think you dont understand, cause i do know what he's talking about and i happen to think it's bullcrap. i was raised christian and raised to believe in god. i got older and decided to stop believing the christian faith, im willing to believe in a higher power maybe, but not what the bible or anything people preache about it. ive been much happier ever since i renounced my faith too, so top being smug about how much happier you'll be, cause your wrong.

Your penny is a plastic replica.

My penny doesn't rely on churches packed full of hypocrites. It's a gold coin and I've bit it.

I'm not going to say you can't be happy without faith that's silly to me. I am curious, what have you found to make you as happy as me? PMs are fine if you don't feel like typing it in here.

I'll only accept that answer because it looks like the way I would have spelled it.

I'm not going to argue with you. I'll leave that to someone far smarter than me. Argue with this logic if you can. :D

Jesus was 33 or so when he died, right?

Also, if "evil" doesn't come from free will, then it's not really evil. So God is able but not willing, but not malevolent. ;)

atheism is...

Atheism offers nothing to me,
it never has and never will,
it doesn't make me feel good or comfort me,
it's not there for me when I'm sick or ill,
it won't intervene in my times of need or protect me from hate,
it doesn't care if I fail or succeed,
it won't wipe the tears from my eyes,
it does nothing when I have no where to run,
it won't give me wise words or advice,
it has no teaches for me to learn,
it can't show me what's bad or nice,
it's never inspired or excited anyone,
it won't help me fulfill all my goals,
it won't tell me to stop when I'm having fun,
it's never saved one single soul,
it doesn't take credit for everything I achieve,
it won't make me get down on bended knee,
it doesn't demand that I have to believe,
it won't torture me for eternity,
it won't teach me to hate or despise others,
it won't tell me what's right or wrong,
it can't tell nobody not to be lovers,
it's told no one they don't belong,
it won't make you think life is worth living,
it has nothing to offer me, that's true,
but the reason Atheism offers me nothing is because I've never asked it to,
Atheism offers nothing because it doesn't need to,
Religion promises everything because you want it to,
You don't need a Religion or to have faith,
You just want it because you need to feel safe,
I want to feel reality and nothing more,
Atheism offers me everything,
but Religion has stolen before.

that is all.

Atheism offers nothing because it is nothing, its not existent. Christianity is real, even if you dont believe now everyone will see that in the end it is whats the truth and is reality. Christ isnt because you want to feel safe its because you love God and what he has done for you and what he is and will do for you. Christ is everything.








Below is what I was posting before I got fastposted.

To Disregard the poster I would like to make the point that we are talking to you only because we want you help, you ridicule us in most every thread on here and we are posting because we want to bring more to heaven. Ive been asked why we post if were just attacked all the time and here in the reason.

So god is real, because...

God is real?
I can't argue with that logic.

Well,
To our current knowledge only humans have the sensory skills, coordination, appendages and intelligence to type coherently on a keyboard, so you are a human.
