Any Christian here that wants to talk to me? I lost faith some time ago.

I'll say ...

The fact remains, white women molest young children every month of every year and apparently incest is still higher on their priority list than having an awesome fukbuddy like me in their life. Anything that comes out of the minds that support that sh*t, religion included, can't be a good thing.
Go to church. Christian women are easy.

Because I want to. Why are you hostile in a typical internet kiddie fashion. Aren't you little too old for this?

like I said, I didn't read the thread but saw this

Now, I don't think anyone can say "there's no god". I think that takes same leap of faith as believers. We know nothing. Our science is still so so premature.

which is beyond dumb. and if you've been god free for 20 years you shouldn't be bothering with silly threads like this, which I now see is something like a challenge to believers? because THAT is very mature and productive

It's been awhile since I had a raging internet forum guy. Took long enough.

  • You can't cherry-pick what you know of God and what you don't know of God. Where in the scripture did God say he makes himself known to Amazonian tribes? If you're so sure of that, how are you so sure on other things you are claiming here? The bible is full of contradictions.
All I see is circular & self-referencing logic.

Romans 1:18-20

"The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse."

Worship the creator; not the creation. Of course, if you don't believe in the Bible, then this won't mean anything, but it is in there.

Yesterday upon the stair I met a met who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today, I wish, I wish he'd go away.


He couldn't have met Jesus, nobody met Jesus.
Spoken like a true believer. I wasn't there, so I'll just take your word for it.

We can be sure nobody that met him noticed him. It's indisputable that there is no evidence of anyone ever meeting a person named Jesus in that time and place.

My position is, "I don't know there's a god, therefore I don't believe." And objectively speaking replace 'I' with 'everyone'.

Because objectively there's 0 proof that god exists.

Billions and billions of people convinced there are gods have been looking for proof of their existence for centuries. To date; nada, zip, zilch, so I am very comfortable in the conclusion there are no gods.

I can say one thing for Christianity, it may lead to better results with your kids.

My 17 year old stoner son is currently running drugs in white neighborhoods for an extremely violent black street gang. My fundamentalist Christian brother has kids that are all doing well in school and not in the least interested in drugs.

Lack of evidence can't yield 100% certainty. We might rather say that it's improbable, given the lack of historical evidence. That's plenty enough reason to believe something never happened, but it's insufficient to prove it never happened.

Your mileage may vary.

It's the church kids that smoked up marijuana back then for me. It was so amusing for me to see them get out of the same prayer session, crying for God, and begging for forgiveness, then next week they toke up. And pot was far more taboo back then.

Thank you for that. At least this is covered.

Ironically my fundamentalist Christian brother smokes pot all the time and I don't smoke at all. I also believe he has got himself addicted to opiates. He is damn near incoherent sometimes. He is poor and I am upper middle class. It may have something to do with his poverty that is driving his kids.

And therein lies the last excuse of the truly desperate wannabelievers. "You can't prove it didn't happen!!"

The Catholic church has been searching for evidence of Jesus for 2000 year and come up empty. And this is not like the big bang or the rise of the trilobytes, so long ago to be lost in antiquity. This is 2000 years and we have records way older than that. We have proof of specific people living long before that. We have life histories of butchers and bakers and candlestick makers from BC Rome. We have quotes from religious leaders that predate Jesus, we have speeches and criminal records and surviving artifacts from long before that period. And yet NOTHING from or about Jesus. That's all a reasonable person needs to laugh at anyone who believes in him. If all you can say is that it's impossible to prove a negative and that anything is theoretically possible then you've already lost. At least have the sense to lose in a way that's a little less stupid.

You can say one thing about that line of reasoning: It's wrong. There's no legit evidence that shows it's true, but there is some that shows it's backwards.
