I have put forward on this forum many times over the centuries that I, personally, am not just atheist but anti-theist.

Yes I know you were being mocking as usual. That is part of the fun of this place.
The two different sources of visionary experiences. The spiritual and the sexual. The latter makes you feel all warm, loving and comfortable inside. The former makes you fly airplanes into buildings.Eschew obfuscation. Habituate elucidation.

First of all the book says that a majority is called to this communion yet a minority--few--accept it. You have claimed that the called are known by their works but that we are essentially saved--or chosen by our belief and works...which ideally go hand in hand. Thus the evidence of a regenerated soul would be joyous works...freely and willfully done.
Chance as a real force is a myth. It has no basis in reality and no place in scientific inquiry. For science and philosophy to continue to advance in knowledge, chance must be demythologized once and for all. ~RC Sproul "A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." ~Mark Twain " ~"If that's not sufficient for you go soak your head."~Faith You can "get answers" by watching the ducks. That doesn't mean the answers are coming from them.~Ringo
Subjectivism may very well undermine Christianity.In the same way that "allowing people to choose what they want to be when they grow up" undermines communism.~Stile

So instead of actually answering Jar you just produce more word salad?
Lovely. Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness. If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Not exactly, no. But what can be done exactly in science anyway?
I was thinking of a simulation. Can you think of some way of proving we are not in a simulation? The next step is to throw away the simulator and think of everything as merely a numeric code and us as characters in a book encoded in that number.

Yep, that's the usual reply, so for that reason I couldn't be bothered providing the details to closed minds that deny certain aspects of reality (ie, atheists). Oooo a mysterious voice and a vision. No, science can't touch anything in that area, so you know their reaction will be simply to impute it to some kind of insanity. Edited by Dredge, : No reason given.

Science can explain a vision that describes a future event in fine detail? Are you sure? Ditto for the voice that saved my life. BCRPS is a recognized scientific disposition that can explain auditory/visual hallucinations in these cases precisely. You don't know what you're talking about or what you're dealing with.When it comes to miracles, people like you are like blind, clueless children stumbling around in the dark.

Such things can happen even to atheists. My sister-in-law is a case in point - she immigrated from China and was raised by staunchly Communist parents. She ridiculed Christianity as "ridiculous nonsense". About 12 years after marrying my (agnostic) brother, completely out the blue, according to her, "Jesus started talking to me". She literally heard him talking to her! She instantly become a very devout Christian.
Just for the sake of having some context for your comments, would you tell us if you've ever had a similar kind of experience, a vision or a voice or the ilke?

First, build a machine which performs many, complex, interdependent functions. Then, add to that machine the ability to self-replicate . if you can, so good luck with that! After you’ve completed that monumental, probably impossible task, somehow convince yourself that dumb molecules plus blind chance could have produced that machine. After that, check yourself into the nearest psychiatric hospital, because you have obviously become insane. Edited by Dredge, : No reason given.

Still nothing but a fucking id'iot troll, I see. Typical creationist.
BTW, I did not write that, but because of your self-professed sub-basement IQ you wouldn't know that, of course. Edited by dwise1, : second paragraph
