    Oh please...we already live in a world without gods...and we didn't have to kill a single soul to achieve it...it just is...

    That couldn't be further from the truth, I'm afraid. Not the killing part, but the "we live in a world without gods" part.

    LOL sab....we have stories about gods...people tell us about gods...there are books about gods...but so far...well.....show me the gods!

    There has been a distinct lack of god evidence since I've been born. Of course, maybe before I was born gods were far more active. But, I have no evidence myself.

    I WOULD if you lived even remotely close to me. You are like in New Zealand right?

    Gods have a limited shelf life.

    Have you ever thought about giving them faith and seeing where that leads? The thing about faith is you can always let go, unless you are being mind controlled. F*cking Watchtower! I want my quarters back!

    Wait sab, I think you admitted that God is a man-made concept. You said "you will have to kill us if you want to live in a world without God".

    So God wouldn't exist in this world if nobody believed in him? If nobody believed there was such a thing as oxygen, it doesn't mean oxygen wouldn't exist.

    God is an idea, to us, because what we call reality is just a perception of reality. We can't define God, we can only seek Him out. The only way God manifests into our reality is through our belief of Him, this is the way it's set up. So, when we stop believing in Him he ceases to have POWER in OUR world. But he didn't create the world to not have power within it, but he also wants subjects who believe in him. So the moment the last person in humanity stops believing in God is the moment that God holds no power over humanity. The atheist's paradise. But that's not how it ends, not at all.

    LOL MrFreeze....he's already admitted that if we deny the 'idea' he exists he doesn't exist. So makes sense that if we killed all the people who 'believe' in a god...there would be nothing left of the gods...LOL

    I think thats a bit too far to go personally. Since you only have to deny the 'idea'. Why the pointless killing? It's not like we have to defend our god or anything.

    Sab...I honestly think you just believe in belief...the god itself is superfluous...any god will do...it's the belief that's important.

    No, any god will not do only One will do. I freely tell other religionists that there is only one God. It gets awkward around pantheists and polytheists. They are pretty put off, but I won't stand down. You see, I don't fit in with either crowd. Christian's are aliens, Christ said so.
