On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right hand of the Father,
and he will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.
Believe the witnesses. That is what the New Testament is all about... eye witnesses.
And the millions of prayers that go unanswered. Praying to a god who does not exist.
I agree.... believe the witnesses.
When prayers are not directed to God, they might go unanswered by Him. All the prayers that are directed towards God are answered by Him.
Consider all of your silent requests that were answered, even though you did not direct them towards any god in particular. God answered many of them favorably anyway.
Are you saying that the prayers of "God please don't let this happen", or "God please stop this" were not directed at your God?
I think Tim Minchin sums this up the best....
Now I understand a prayer can work:
A particular prayer in a particular church
In a particular style with a particular stuff
And for particular problems that aren't particularly tough,
And for particular people, preferably white
And for particular senses, preferably sight
A particular prayer in a particular spot
To a particular version of a particular god
And if you get that right, he just might
Take a break from giving babies malaria
And pop down to your local area
And fix the cataracts of your mum!

Am I saying...? What's the matter? Can't you read what I have said? Why should I repeat it?
In the imperfect world that man causes when he turns against God (like YOU, when you refuse to accept even the existence of God in the face of the evidence and proof), there will be unpleasant things, and death.
How many people do you know who are 500 years old? Anybody? When you are dead, you are out of this life. And it seems that everyone dies. God often allows death as the relief to people who ask for relief from pain and sickness. Other times God heals them.
God's methods get rid of the imperfection for each of us, one at a time.
In the new life there will be Heaven >>> perfection, or Hell >>> imperfection. Take your pick. It will be your choice on an individual basis.
Glad you agree that the God you believe in is a sadistic bastard.
Allowing children to be raped and die of cancer.
That is one of the reasons why I do not believe there is a God.
Not only are you corrupted to be against God, but you are corrupted so that you twist theists' words into things that they are not.
When this world and universe are gone, there will never be any remembrance of it any longer. This will happen for most of us at death.
The important thing is the new life that we will all get. Will your new life be one of joy with God? Or will it be away from God and away from joy, in torment forever? Those are the only two choices.
However, thanks for giving me reason to post, so that people are shown their opportunity for eternal life in joy.
I think 'twisting facts' is your domain.
BTW, you'll rot and be eaten by maggots like the rest of us. There is no afterlife. It is a fantasy, daydream at best.
You should wake up and smell the coffee :-)
How really retarded are you? Nobody rots and gets eaten by maggots.
Before you use the restroom, the stuff that you get rid of there is part of you. But after you use the restroom, that stuff isn't part of you anymore... when it rots and if it gets eaten by maggots.
You are mistaken when you think that the stuff left over and buried in the cemetery is the person.
Perhaps you should take less brandy or whiskey in your coffee.
HA HA HA HA HA
Chuckles..... this is your finest quote yet!
I actually laughed out loud.
You need to write a joke book with your quotes.
This one is the best!
A joke book! What a grand idea. You wouldn't be in it. Something like you would be too pathetic for a joke book. I mean, you can't even rebut the science that you don't believe is science to prove that it isn't science. And in doing so, you only help to promote the science.
You are really great. If I really wanted to promote God science, I would hire someone to do just exactly the thing that you are doing. Thanks for saving me some money.
No worries, because the more you talk, the more you prove there is no god with your delusional humorous statements.
