sometimes theists challenge atheists about what evidence would be required before they would believe.
various unlikely scenarios are offered in reply.
i have taken the bait myself in the past.. i think the correct answer is much more ordinary.
I hold him up to his own claims.
Based upon coftys analytical method.
don't measure god by my standards;
That is only what cofty says but not what cofty does. And Cofty talks about god; I am refering to Jehovah of the Bible
He claims to be love but by his own definition of love he is a hypocrite.
Always using cofty's logic, arguments, and methods, and morality, and rules of evidence to qualify God's existence.

Simply because people believe God helps them doesnt make it so.
Not believing doesn't make it so either. --except for cofty. the And I did not say that belief in God is evidence of his existence.
jws re-name things so they seem like they are different than other religions.
(of course we know they are different but that's another story).
i was just thinking about those things where they are like most everyone else in christendom but the re-name it to seem different.. for example god forbid they have a church, it's a "kingdom hall".. they don't have pastors and deacons they have "elders" and "ministerial servants".. they don't have tithing but they will have family heads fill out a paper saying how much they can contribute on a monthly basis (not sure if there is a name for that...unless it's tithing.
sneeze a lot, and some nonJW friends say "Bless you
Not too long ago, I was at a store many many miles far away from where I live -and I sneezed. I heard the voice of a woman in back of me say: "God Bless You," in reflex I turned around to see who it was. I looked at her face and looked again and recognized her to be a girl I went to grammar school with. She did not recognize me at first but when I told her who I was, she remembered. --Isn't that something!

cofty, according to your morality, why shouldn't you allow God to be unmeasuable instead of having to measure up to your rules of evidence.
A couple of decades ago while talking to people on the street, I aproached a blind man, and not having the power to make him see, I wanted to know his view on God since obviously he must have at least tried to pray to God about his blindness -and yet there he was, blind. So, I asked him a question about God expecting his response to to be negative; to my surprise, he interjected saying: "Oh, no, God helps me!
so many things that i just discoved about the bible.. .
so from the book my book of bible stories, we all know how little moses was saved from a cruel pharaoh.
of course the king of egypt was afraid that those cute little babies would endanger his empire eventually.
level headed atheists and don't worship the murderous maniac
Anyway, the Bible record is clear what anyone touching lovers of God should expect.

You don`t dictate the narrative of a thread.
Outlaw, I did not dictate to you what you are allowed to post. I was only trying to be helpful to you by showing you what you should say when debating a subject; this applies to any forum.

Oulaw, you have not done that. All that you have done is say things about what I have posted and about me. You need to express your views about the topic not about me. It does not count towards the points being discussed.

AT least the minor children killed by the Israelite soldiers at the events in the scriptures above, will have a resurrection.
Commentary;God decides who he will resurrect. How do you know what God will do?
I guess I seem not to made the point clear, did god put himself in the place of those babies.
If someone orders a pound of bolony at the store, who should call you to measure how much a pound of bolony weighs or why it should weigh that much?
But maybe God should judge everyone that challenges God's justice according to their way?
I don't have a problem with GOD's justice -even when I suffer evil. And when I am being harassed, I want it to stop and God can do whatever it takes to bring me relief.

hehalapeno, are you having it your way now?
What did the Europeans do to the Mexican fathers, their women, their children, their land, their wealth? And now the babies of the Europeans kick you out from the land that belonged to your fathers -your land- and dominate you. A very crude example in the inverse to show you what babies have done.
