God's Plan - Humanity fell, kicked them out of the Garden. Humanity became unbearable, decided to drown it.

Not a good track record.

praying to god is like playing the lottery. there is almost no chance in hell you are going to win/get what you ask for, but you know certainly that at least one person is going to win. almost no one will dispute that the lottery is a sham. you don't expect to always get what you want when you pray. in fact you may never get what you want. but, that doesn't mean no one will ever get what they pray for. sometimes you might just win/get what you pray for.

I'll be waiting in Chester, after midnight. :sneaky:

For those that don't know, it's English Law that if a Welshman is encountered in Chester after midnight you can legally shoot him with a crossbow.

This is true. I used to go to Chester, then I took an arrow to the knee.

woops commented on the wrong thread lol

but while I'm here:

I thought this thread was about people making awkward comments about God saving them or another to someone who'd lost a person, or whatever. This is just a religion bashing thread at this point

So god keeps rapists, paedophiles, adulterers, thieves, and murderers in heaven? No thanks, not the place for me.

Anyone can reform if given a chance. There's no way to know if any human is in heaven at all though. The bible says we will occupy a new earth, not heaven.

So on this 'new earth' do you get unqualified residency or do you have to stick to the rules for eternity?
What happens if you sleep with more than one person or, god forbid, one of the wrong sex? Do you get booted or do you get a free pass?
Are the rules the same as before you got admission?

What makes you think you'll be sleeping at all? You are making a lot of assumptions on what life will be like, it won't be anything like it is now.

He's sick to the stomach that there are people who still believe in God so his only recourse is to denigrate and bash those who hold this belief.

It's quite entertaining watching this, honestly.

Oh sorry. Why don't you fill me in on the facts and evidence, then I won't have to assume anything.

I'm not bothered at all if people believe in whatever god they want. What's slightly annoying is when people post about religion on a discussion board and then say that people are bashing them if anyone doesn't go along with their own personal, unsupported beliefs.

Again, it would seem Welshbloke and myself are on the same page. Must be because we grew up in a society where religion doesn't dominate the legislation

I don't have any facts or evidence and I don't make any assumptions on what will happen in our future. I'm not a prophet, just a messenger.

So why believe the blowhards who claim to know the mind of a god that doesn't exist or claim to believe that heaven or hell exists based on zero evidence whatsoever?

I am not a blind follower. I know God exists from my own experience with God, not from listening to others. I believe in a living God that speaks to his people, not religion. I don't restrict myself to the bible like most do, because I don't buy into the idea that it is the word of God or that it is inspired by God or even that much of it happened the way it is transcribed. My beliefs are based on my own life, my own experiences, what I've seen with my own eyes.

Then that is just your volition. Don't generalize your own personal beliefs for the whole world. If God is everything maybe you oughta keep it to yourself.

You should reread what I wrote. But in case it does not make sense, imagine this:

You write down your plans for one day in your life and give it to me. I read those plans. Among those plans is to first kill your neighbor and take his priciest possessions. Being that I know what you are going to do, I tell you why its a bad idea to kill someone and rob them and what will happen when police arrive to take you to jail.

You realize that you are about to make a fatal error and decide not to rob or kill your neighbor but rather do something more productive and beneficial for society, or at least something that doesnt break any of the Ten Commandments.

God works the same way - you may be warned not to do what your are planning - but you can chose whether or not you will ignore the warnings and do it anyway.

God help you if you dont heed Him.

That is entirely incompatible with an omnipotent God.

So what you're saying is that you do NOT believe in the God of the Bible?

bah. humbug.

In my experience God is great - and I love Him! :wub:

Who cares what atheists think?

God cares about everyone equally, perhaps you disagree with god on this?

Or perhaps it's just that you don't actually believe in the God of the Bible, you're just using your religion to feel more worth than others.

Pride.... you do know what your Catholic forefathers classifed that as?

I can respect that as long as you realize that it's your personal faith and it has nothing to do with anyone but you.
