After a Lifetime Wasted on Atheism - He Finally Gets It

A lifetime seeking truth is not a lifetime wasted.

It's too bad that you just can't respect the atheists' position the way you expect atheists to respect yours.

Hi Skully,

Well, I certainly do not expect a true dyed in the wool atheist to respect my position. The atheist has already concluded certain impossibilities as true as I have outlined before. Evidence doesn't work where the true atheist lives. I do respect atheists as people and get along quite nicely with several outside of a forum like this where people come to be engaged.

I noticed that you used the word "appears" in your judgments of God above. It "appears" to me that a person would want to worship a one-of-a-kind being that offered unending life and happiness as opposed to decay and death. And, not only would want to, but that it is deserved. That's just me. But so what, my perceptions are just as valid or as invalid as yours. Reality is the key here.

And Christians are saying that the reality is that Jesus inhabits their spirit, animates it (when the flesh isn't in the way) and that he is fully alive after being crucified. He rose from the dead and we have proof, not hearsay. We are saying that as the Supreme Being, it is incumbent on him to judge in righteousness, and not forever allow the continuance of evil. We are also saying that as God, it isn't enough to simply judge evil, which would be a minimum requirement, but to defeat it and to parade it around the universe as unfit, ultimately unuseful, and utterly illogical.

If God refuses to do this, having the ability to do so, would that not make him evil as an enabler? God is fully alive Skully, He will judge sin either on the cross or in Hell separated from him.

All God does in the end is give people what they really want, either life - or freedom from Him.

Will you thank the God of the Bible for me Perry ? For allowing me to be free of him ?

I am so glad to be free of him, he was an embarrassment.

Perry

he was an embarrassment.

Yes, he was. And so I'm I.

I agree with you Perry you are an embarassment, that picture is an embarassment, the concept that we needed a man tortured and killed for our sins is an embarrasment. The concept that we are fallen sinners is a sick joke. You want intelligence in the universe? Sure there is probably intelligence in the universe only lets call it what it is Alien intelligence that may be found on other planets.

Oh, before I forget, the most embarassing thing of all? Quoting a scripture to a non believer.

Perry,

I certainly do not expect a true dyed in the wool atheist to respect my position.

That's your first mistake, my friend. As far as I'm concerned, you can believe or not believe as you see fit, as long as I can do the same.

We are also saying that as God, it isn't enough to simply judge evil, which would be a minimum requirement, but to defeat it and to parade it around the universe as unfit, ultimately unuseful, and utterly illogical.

If God refuses to do this, having the ability to do so, would that not make him evil as an enabler?

Well, it "appears" that he's done nothing about evil for several millenia. Is there a tipping point of evil that will breach his tolerance level and require him to do something about it? Until then, yes, he is refusing to do something about evil, and, yes, he is enabling it.

Whether there is a god or not, I'm not going to let that change the good person I am or the positive things I do in my life. He/she/it can judge me as he/she/it sees fit (if he/she/it exists, which I doubt with every fibre of my being). I have nothing to be ashamed of and I'm not afraid of death - I didn't exist before I was born and I won't exist after I die - I'm not afraid of that. I don't need or desire eternal life - it's not my destiny. Maybe it's your need, your desire or your destiny, but I'm not that self-important to want eternal life.
