pray if you want to detect him.
Who said I hadn't? No detection from this unit.
There is only ONE truth. I'm not speaking of religion; I'm speaking of what actually is.
Stop proselytizing for a second and remember what we were discussing, which was evidence. All religions have support found for them within the world. That is actually true.
You can call all the others mistaken, and they... unlike the creators of your precious mythology... built their religion from what was seen around them, so as to answer that issue. It would be hypocritical, but at least its an answer.
Also, I do believe the bible is literal. If it said a "dog flew," I wouldn't take it as a metaphor.
Suddenly I want to get into book publishing, well one book publishing.
The point is that he's coming back to get/reward all those on his side (not religion specific}. Either you are with him or against; him no innocent bystanders. He's not coming to PROVE anything. Who's opinion does he want/need? Interfere with his will-You are destroyed.
Hey, my first question was how you knew this. But let me address this ramble. It is inconsistent with your first post. You said there would be proof as he killed people. So I asked you about that.
Here you suggest that he's not proving anything, but simply rewarding his followers apparently by killing nonbelievers. Or maybe that's just punishment.
And yet again you set up a disturbing image of a moron for your God. If he makes everyone, doesn't he already know our opinions? More importantly though, what should he care what they are? According to you opinions can stop the will of God? How can opinions stop the will of something that is omnipotent?
Sticks and stone may break my bones, but names will never hurt me... unless I'm God?
I only said... {pascal's wager}... in an attempt to sway your foolish ideas before it's too late. But really it matters to God what you beleive; not me.
If God does care then telling me to switch for gambling reasons will simply waste my life as well as getting me toasted in the end. Thus attempting to sway me, if you believe he does care, means you are looking to hurt me instead of help me. So were you just being cruel or an idiot with poor logic skills?
but I'm one of the ones who will be hanging out with him in the end.
Sounds like a terrible time. If you have one difference of opinion you get fried, and you have to live like that for eternity. That's be pretty tough for a person that proclaims...
I just enjoy an intense debate about ideas.
Well I guess it will be intense. According to you I'll be cooked in the first seconds. That doesn't leave much debate however.
