Michael Christ
You're dead wrong. Most atheists have searched for irrefutable evidence for the existence of God.
You don't care about other atheists, you only care about yourself!
That's a lie. Why lie like that? I've been a member of two atheist groups at one time. If I only cared about myself, why would I even be in contact with them?
Post by Michael Christ"You are not arguing to find the truth, you are just arguing to try and
make yourself right. And that is why you never find it."
That's just you lying again. I'm telling you straight up: If I had found the bible credible and had actually been "touched" by "God," I'd be a God-believer.
It's YOU that can't come to grips with the fact that there is NO irrefutable evidence for God's existence.
Let me point this out once again: Former Christians-turned-atheists at one time swore up and down God exists--just as fervently as YOU do--and claimed to have "proof" of God's existence. So they turned atheist. But do they still claim that the proof they had of God still exists? Hell no! They lied to themselves. Just like you're doing.
Post by Michael ChristI have experienced that with you in particular.
No you haven't. I've told you I made an earnest effort to see if I could find proof of God's existence. (My theological library contains over 400 books alone!) Just because I've found no proof for God's existence, YOU'VE come to the conclusion that it's because I'm trying "to make myself right."
Well, I AM right. Otherwise YOU would be able to prove me wrong. And you can't.
Post by Michael ChristThat *is* the reality with you. It pricks you, that is why you
responded to it.
Post by GreywolfI know I have, and have done so earnestly. I would think most have done the same.
Yeah right! All you have ever done is try and make yourself right. So
much so is that you even create a web page with that intent!!
It's a "website." And guess what, my "work" is there for all the Christian world to see. And guess how many visitors to my website have proven me wrong? Zero! That's how many.
Why not have a bible "expert" you know go to the site and try proving me wrong?
Post by Michael ChristPost by GreywolfThe problem is that there is NO irrefutable evidence for the existence of ANY supernatural being. And I mean absolutely NONE.
No one finds God unless they truly search for Him.
If God truly cared about his "earthly children" He would go to THEM and prove to THEM He's real rather than expect THEM to believe preposterous and patently absurd stories upon pain of eternal damnation.
Your God is a rather "sick" Being, you know. Who would even THINK of punishing someone for ALL of eternity for simple disbelief? That's monstrous, to say the least.
You have the obvious
Post by Michael Christconclusion to get you started...
Nothing can create itself. Therefore an eternal Creator created
everything. If this was not so, we would not be here.
Are we talking about the Eternal Son of the Leprechaun here? He's a Leprechaun, you know. Not a "God." And you haven't disproven he exists so there, you have all the proof you need that he does.
Did I mention that there not a molecule more evidence that a "God" exists than the Son of the Leprechaun does?
Post by Michael ChristAnd since you are created, you are the verified evidence, you are the
proof there is a God.
Where in the hell is the evidence that a God created the evidence rather than the Eternal Son of the Leprechaun? I certainly see none. And you can't prove it.
Post by Michael ChristPost by GreywolfBut look at you theists. You insist God is real but can't prove it upon pain of death. Why is that?
I searched, I found. I can't speak for anyone else.
Tell me, exactly HOW did you find Him? Did He contact you through mental telepathy? Appear to you in a dream? Appear to you in a vision? Email you? Call long distance? Or "touch your heart"? You're quite short on details.
Post by Michael ChristPost by GreywolfWorse, you expect atheists to disprove claims you insist are true. Why in the hell should an atheist have to disprove a negative? Why can't you simply provide the proof you have that God is real. And none of this "I feel it my heart" nonsense. Or "I should be dead but God saved my life" gibberish. That's not any proof at all.
People testify that they acknowledge God if they want. They most
certainly do not have kneel before you footstool and prove anything to you!
If they come into an atheist forum proclaim utter nonsense, they sure DO have to prove their claims true. Otherwise they have no business posting here. This is an ATHEIST forum. No religious proselytizing allowed.
Put up or shut up. It's that simple.
If you can't prove your claims true, then move to a Christian forum where you rightfully belong. You should know by now that we find religious propaganda offensive. This is, after all, a "home" to atheists, not Christian propagandists.
Post by Michael ChristYou speak like there is an obligation to prove to you their faith,
trust, belief and hope whereas you do the exact same thing in every way
in your life, only you put those things in yourself and man.
Let me remind you again: This is an ATHEIST forum. We find religious claims nonsensical and offensive.
You wouldn't want me going into a Christian forum and "enlightening" the Christians there about what I've learned about their faith, would you?
If so, name a Christian site I'd be welcome at.
Post by Michael ChristIt is massive hypocrisy!
Post by GreywolfI have escaped death any number of times. And not once did I feel a need to pray or anything of the sort. I have been very fortunate is all.
So am I to assume a God saw to my safety so I could become an outspoken atheist? Is that it?
And you can see the end of the matter, can you?? You can predict
tomorrow, next week, next year...
Oh please! You're not trying to insinuate that I might turn Christian someday, are you? It's not going to happen because 1) there is no God, and 2) I've studied and researched enough to know the Christian faith is based on one lie piled atop another.
Stop and think about this one: God the Father sends another God to "die" on a Roman cross in order for Him to absolve mankind of its "sins." But dumb-ass Christians fail to realize that since Jesus was BORN a God (albeit a hybrid God/Man) He couldn't have possibly "died." All the while He was in the tomb He was ALIVE due to the fact He WAS a God (and not simply "possessed" by a God) and the fact Gods don't die.
See what I mean? And think about it: Why would God the Father demand someone be murdered in order to absolve man of his sins. A simple wiggle of the nose could have accomplished *that*!
Or why couldn't He have simply told Adam & Eve, "I forgive you" after seeing to it Eve was tricked into sin?
And at the moment Jesus "died" on the cross, why didn't He slay Satan and start man off with a "clean slate" instead of continuing to let Satan lead man into sin? It makes no logical sense to leave Satan alive--and even continue supplying him with his Satanic Powers to lead man further into sin with.
See what I mean?
You've been hoodwinked. And unless you can explain away the above, brainwashed beyond all hope.
Post by Michael ChristIt is staggering your ignorance at times!!
I'm not the one claiming God exists in an ATHEIST forum knowing full well it can't be proven. Now THAT'S being "ignorant." This IS an atheist forum, not a Christian one.
Post by Michael ChristPost by GreywolfLast thing, and answer this honestly: If you had never heard of Jesus or any of the Gospel stories about Him, would you be a Jesus God believer today? If Yes, explain how that would have come about.
God created everything, do you think He can't make a way to the heart
that earnestly and honestly seeks Him??
I speak from experience. No, God can't provide simple, irrefutable proof He exists. I HAVE sought proof of God. I really, truly have. There is none. No more proof than the Son of the Leprechaun exists. And I mean not one BIT more.
Post by Michael ChristPost by GreywolfThrough some sort of mental telepathy?
If No, then you wouldn't be a Christian, now would you?
I did hear though and I believed there was a God and then I searched and
found Him.
You "heard" Him? He spoke to you? Or did you hear someone reciting scripture and it "moved" you? If so, that's not proof at all.
Post by Michael ChristI found Him in the truth.
You've deluded yourself. Now, can you admit that that is just "possible"? If not, prove what you're saying is true. You can't and you know it. So there's no point in offending atheists in their "home" with religious beliefs that can't be proven true.
Post by Michael ChristSo do all those who seek and find Him.
What about all the former Christians who have turned atheist? They once had the same "proof" you do that God exists? What happened to it? You don't hear them still saying God exists NOW, do you? If they had proof of God's existence before, where did it disappear to?
Post by Michael ChristPost by GreywolfWhat I'm trying to say, is that you are a Christian because you've been brainwashed. You believe because you WANT to believe, not because Jesus God "touched your heart."
You keep insisting what you experience and what you say is the truth.
I'm only relating what I've experienced in my effort to find proof of God. And the fact is, my website contains some of my findings--and I've yet to be refuted. Speaks volumes, doesn't it?
Post by Michael ChristIt isn't, you can't even tell me what you are going to do in the next 24
hours. And there you are deciding for all mankind what is and what is not.
I'm only pointing out the theological flaws and biblical problems with the Christian faith. Why not visit the website and try tackling some of them yourself? Let me point out that I use SCRIPTURE to prove my point most times. And I even present Christian apologist explanations in most cases.
Post by Michael ChristYou are up yourself, engorged in self-righteousness and self-reference.
Touch, touchy. It's you that has the problem. You can't prove a word of what you say--theologically speaking--while promoting your beliefs in an ATHEIST forum where they have no place, no standing.
It's YOU who thinks you've been "touched" by God, when the fact is you're touched in the head for expecting atheists to believe God exists based only on your belief He does.
Post by Michael ChristPost by GreywolfExplain how former Christians-turned-atheists could have been every bit as adamant that God exists as YOU are, but are now atheists. You would think they would continue to insist God is real since they had the same proof of His existence as you supposedly have. Only now, they not only no longer worship God, but insist He doesn't even exist today.
So now you're a believer in what people say?? :-))))))))))))))))))).
Don't try avoiding the point. Not a one of those former Christians-turned-atheist today insist they have proof God exists. What happened to that proof? It seems to have disappeared--right along with their former faith.
Post by Michael ChristTheir claim to know God was fraudulent.
And how do YOU know that?
Once you come to know and love
Post by Michael ChristGod you never ever leave Him.
It happens all the time. You should know that fully by now. Calling them liars is only you failing to deal with reality. There are countless former Christians-turned-atheist. What? You going to claim every one of them is lying?
It has been over 30 years for me and
Post by Michael Christthere is not a chance of me ever walking away from Him. I'd just as
soon slit my throat!
So I take it that even if 50 flat-bed railroad cars pulled up to your home piled with proof that God doesnt' exist, you'd reject the proof out of hand and believe anyway. Am I right?
If you say, "Yes," it would prove your completely brainwashed and religiously-diseased because, hypothetically speaking, there IS the possibility your God doesn't exist, isn't there? Remember, we're talking in the hypothetical here.
Post by Michael ChristPost by GreywolfIf they had the same proof you have, where did it disappear to?
The claim was false.
How could you POSSIBLY know that with certainty? You can't.
Post by Michael ChristAnd so is yours. Without God, without the truth, you make up your own
truth. And that is exactly what you have done.
Does Jesus contradict Himself in Matthew 16:21 versus Mark 8:31, 9:31, and Matthew 12:40? Yes or No?
Now let's see who's making up their own reality!
Post by Michael ChristSo, your life is empty and pointless and vain and has no purpose because
without Him that is all a man's life adds up to.
Pure nonsensical gibberish from the keyboard of a brainwashed, religiously-diseased, self-deluded, pathetic excuse for a so-called "intellectually honest" human being.
