well i believe it is a personal issue,i have had some experience with him before and know,there was a time i was in great need of help for my mothers medical bill,i tried all my possible best to get money but i was not successfull,so i prayed to God and i was amazed how i got help

Unless god rode down to earth on a lightning bolt and handed you a fat stack of cash, it was probably someone else helping you.

It would be nice though if we could just whisper to ourselves quietly and make things happen but that's called fantasy.



Unless God tells you in the Bible that this is the way He does things, you don't know whether or not is is the truth.

Atheism is just an intellectual maturity beyond imagination.

Hello,

This was one of the best, shortest and funniest explanations.

Kind Regards,

Atheism is just an attempt at maturity without intellectuality.    Cool

Where did you get the conclusion from?
The start of it comes from the proof that God exists:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=737322.msg10718395#msg10718395
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1355109.msg14047133#msg14047133

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1054513.msg16803380#msg16803380.

Once one understands that God exists, he will ask God, and God will show him the rest of the conclusion.



I preferr agnosticism

However, you provide data that would improve the status of theism
But not of Christianity or any other religion, since the data you provided has nothing to do with the things you keep clamining are the "truth" from the Bible, there is nothing you can say to connect the Bible with a deity, the Bible, Quran, Torah etc. are written by people
The Old Testament in Hebrew has been copied, and re-copied, over and over, many times for the many years. The Dead Sea Scrolls show that the book of Isaiah in the O.T. was almost exactly the same as it is today. This is because at the time the printing press was developed, it had not changed in about 2,000 years. Two points about this:
1. It is a miracle that this could have been done;
2. The rest of the O.T. was done the same way.

Further. The nation of Israel is still around and powerful, after it was destroyed many times. Why? Two reasons:
1. The O.T. is so powerful that Israel is still strong in it;
2. the people of Israel are dedicated, which means that they wouldn't have written what they have written as they have if it were a lie.

Further. We are finding N.T. scraps from the first century A.D. that show the New Testament to be the same as well.

This doesn't happen by accident, with a very powerful nation (the USA) being possibly the greatest "pusher" of the Bible. It isn't a natural thing that this happens like this.



And just because you rationalize it to be "written by Gods hand" has nothing to do with truth, or evidence

If you were a theist, you might convert some people, this way you just seem crazy

One has to start somewhere. The proof for the existence of God shows the atheists at least two things:
1. Atheism is a religion;
2. That they had better start looking for God if they want to find truth.

So, you. Get into the Bible, now that you understand that God exists, because the information therein is the only way for you to be saved for eternal life.

Atheism is truth.

Religion is an attempt at maturity without substance.

Proclaimed atheism is simply another religion. The proclamation of atheism gives it dogma, like every other religion.

I feel that god is everything - the reality, the particles -atom, protons, neutrons, quarks, leptons etc. etc...

...

We have loads of evidence of things propagating themselves. But we don't have evidence of anything creating itself.

Everything comes from somewhere outside of itself. So, everything can't be God.

Cool

God was created by Man as a way of controlling the masses.

No different than telling children they must be good to get a present from Santa Claus.

Only difference, most children grow up and realize that Santa does not exist.

God created man. The devil tricked many people into not believing that God or the devil exist. We have as many religions in the world as we do, because the devil's trickery isn't good enough. Even the atheists show they believe in God, by setting themselves up as gods, attempting to overrule the natural knowledge of God they have in their hearts.

Why do Atheists hate Religion ?

LOL. What kind of question is that? I am an atheist, but i don't hate religion. I don't hate any religion and I respect people who believe in god. Religion and faith is a part of this world. People should have the freedom of choice. Hatred will not lead you anywhere. I think you just should reconsider something.


Finally. Someone who realizes that atheism is a religion.

WHY TO GIFT YOU BELIEVE TO SOMEONE FOR FREE>

Just believe in your self. I believe that I am god and that I have all power to accomplish anything I choose in my life.

Religions is just a manipulation of your mind to take power from you. Also, they love MONEY. Why do they need money if they have their GODS and deities. Have you thought about that.

Yes. Believe in yourself. But understand that God made you, and made you very well, so that you can have more faith in God, while you are believing in yourself.

Some people hate or don't belief that God exist because they don't see the need to believe in him because they are well off and don't need his help but those who believe do bear witness that when they pray he always listen to them

All people need God's help. It isn't any fun dying. And it is less fun spending the afterlife in Hell for eternity.

By the way..... I am still waiting for your god to send me a selfie!

I don't think a bronze age God would know how to operate a camera and knows how to send a picture.

I asked BADecker to talk to his God to post his message on this forum, with no avail.

I guess his God is too busy creating babies with cancer and HIV so he does not have time to talk to BADecker.

You have God mixed up with the devil. You follow the devil as god, and you don't even realize that they both exist. Soon you won't.

Cool

No I believe af_newbie is referring to your God.
He's your God, too, even though you may not know it.



You have stated many times that he controls everything, so he must have given cancer to babies.
God gave mankind what they asked for, destruction. He also realized that they didn't know what they were asking for, so He also gave them a way out... Jesus salvation.

Cancer in babies, or any other bad thing, is a giving God giving what was asked for by mankind in general. And all you can do is turn away from the way out... Jesus salvation. Well, I guess that's your cancer... and God is giving it to you as you have asked.



Besides, we know there is no such thing as Gods and Devils.... you are the one who tries to prove there is with your own ramblings.

The proof for God is here:

You are the proof that people often don't care about proof. They often simply go on their Hell-bent way.

However, thank you for prompting me to show folks the links, again. Some of them will be saved. However, it won't be a benefit to you, even though you are helping some people to be saved. Why not? Because you reject salvation, and along with it, your reward.

Just because you are so mentally backwards that you can't understand proof, doesn't mean that it is not proof.

Be glad that God doesn't send you a selfie. God is so great that even His selfie would destroy you on the spot.

Cool

Mentally backwards..... that is an interesting concept.

Because I do not agree with your opinions and I ask for proof, you determine that I am suffering from a mental capacity disorder. Are you a trained Psychiatrist, have you conducted sufficient consultations to determine this?  I do not think you have the skills necessary to determine this.
That's not why. Mentally backwards because you don't seem to be able to tell the difference between opinions and proof. Nobody has to be a trained psychiatrist to see this in you. You admit to it all the time, often without knowing that you are doing so.



However, if you do, why do you feel the need to point this out? Does it make you feel better to highlight someone's mental incapacity? Are you so shallow that you do not have room in your life for those less fortunate?
How do you know that I have such a need? Are you trying to play psychiatrist? Since you are less fortunate, become more fortunate by understanding that God exists, and then finding Him in your life.



I want a selfie from him.... let him destroy me.... if he can.

I say this.... because I know that it will never happen!

Me want this, and this, and this.

What good would it be for God to give you a selfie? You'd simply die without Jesus salvation and go to Hell. God doesn't want that for you. He wants you, stubborn as you are, to change and have eternal life. He sees something good in you that I can't see, that He wants you in Heaven with us.

Go ahead. Make Him out to be a liar. Show that you don't have any good in yourself. He won't fight you forever. He'll give you the destruction you are asking for, if you keep on asking long enough.

Hello,

Vaccine for religion is education.

Also, I think blockchain society is one of the most advanced in civilization.

It is very funny to see these topics about religions here.

Only technological innovation and science development can bring us peace.

Kind Regards,

But the religious topics are here, because few people look into the complete definition of the word "religion." Essentially what religion can be is anything that somebody feels rather strongly about.

The very funny part is that some people who think that they are not religious, are very religious. You can see it in the fact that they loudly proclaim that they are not religious, which is exactly the thing a religious person does... proclaim his religion.

Cool

The guy didn't said that he believe or not in a religion.  The real very funny part is that religion is based on the power of imagination.

“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand."― Albert Einstein

IF a man loudly present an invention or real innovation or what ever. It is funny to think that he proclaim his religion.

To call Statement - that religion can be over come by education of society - as proclaim of ones religion is just altitude of child.


My point is that all people live their religion, no matter what their religion is. Religion is in the life of every person, because people are religious beings.

A person who says that he has no religion, has a religion of non-religion.

For me imposing tax is needed to run an entire country. Who will pay for salary of government officials and staffs? Government can't do that by themselves only. The citizens is the life of a country. Without tax, theres no schools, hospitals and any government establishments that gives us benefits in return. But sometimes, government is just too abusive. They impose to much tax.

Government people offer a benefit. If I don't want a government benefit, why should I pay for it?

If I want road usage, let me pay for it through buying it, not through taxation. Or let me build my own roads.

If I don't want road usage, and if I can get through life without it, why should I pay for it?

Buy what you get from government through standard trade. Don't be forced into paying through taxation.

Devolution is just an illusion.

Devolution appears reality in society because it had grown by millions. Technological innovation made people life more interconnected and fast. Because of that there are lot of intellectually evolved people but there are also devolved as our society is wast in numbers. We get to see a lot of devolved people as life is fast and very interconnected.

There have never been such civilization as now. You cant compare us to ancestors who believed in witches and thunder goats.


Evolution is science fiction. Entropy is science fact. Entropy proves that devolution is real.

- every time you badmouth it only helps to strengthen its position.

So, thanks again for helping to prove that God exists.

Cool

A way to rebut the links..... hmmm...... Oh I know..... YOU wrote them.

That's enough proof for anyone!

I can understand your consternation. Here is somebody who finally does the thing you have dreaded, shown you the proof that God exists.

But why do you dread it? God loves you and is here to help you. He offers you life everlasting, in peace and joy and love, and in His loving presence.

One of the greatest benefits you receive from God is, you are esteemed by Him, if you only acknowledge Him. He loves you, has made you with the hopes that you will be great. But you can't be great without acknowledging Him. Acknowledge Him, and be all that you can be... more than you have ever dreamed of being.

Cool

Once again you talk..... making no sense.

Why do you think I dread it? Can you read my thoughts? Do you have unnatural powers?

When you prove something I will listen.... until then, keep waffling little man.

The fact that you deny the truth and the proof, without any logical reason that you can state, and then you pick on me, shows that you are in denial. Nobody knows what goes on in your head, not even you. But denial of good and right truths is based on fear of the unknown... at least most of the time.

When I prove something, you will go right on with whatever it is that you believe. Regarding the proof that God exists, you haven't started to refute it. Yet, you deny it. So, you have a religion going for yourself by believing that God doesn't exist in opposition to the fact that He DOES exist. Since it is a religion, it is a false religion because it doesn't match the facts.

Thank you for helping to show and prove that God exists by expressing your false religion.

Cool

The fact that you cannot show the proof of your God and only post links to crap you have written is the logical reason I choose. I am sure it makes logical sense to many. The fact that you choose to deny it does not make it incorrect.

I do not pick on you, I merely express my opinion. If you are so shallow that you believe that I am picking on you, then, that is your own issue and I suggest you try and develop some self esteem.

You say you prove something, I say you don't. This is called a stalemate.

You believe my belief as a religion, I do not. As it is my belief and personal to me, I do not care what you think.

Thank you for showing how you prove nothing and how shallow you are by not accepting the lies you type.

By the way..... I am still waiting for your god to send me a selfie!

Just because you are so mentally backwards that you can't understand proof, doesn't mean that it is not proof.

Be glad that God doesn't send you a selfie. God is so great that even His selfie would destroy you on the spot.

"And all that believed were together, and had all things common;

-Acts 2:44-45


There is a difference between taxation and donation.    Cool

Yeah, if it was donation it would be written they might do it or it would be good to do it.
Whereas here it's an order and a description of what should be done.
First time I agree with Jesus though.

If God doesn't come down and order it directly, who has the right to order someone else to do something? Nobody, because all people are created equal - in spirit. So, if they give you an order, make them pay if you fill their order.

For example, the judge in court -just a man- orders you -just a man- to pay a fine for a traffic violation. Pay it, and send him a bill to cover the cost of the fine, and your time and expenses in court. After all, a judge - just a man - doesn't sit on the bench without getting paid for it. So, why should you - just a man - come to court without getting paid for it?

Gun control. Of course, every country or nation needs gun control. If we dont care about this maybe one day you will be shot by others. Let the people who's entitled to have a gun, license for having it. We need to follow the rules to avoid bad things.

Most of those who argue in favor of gun rights, are the ones who support the removal of fire-arms from criminals and mental patients. They are in favor of granting more power to the cops, and in favor of strict implementation of the existing laws. The anti-gun campaigners, on the other hand are the ones who attack the cops and side with the criminals.
There is always a risk that weapons will fall into the hands of inadequate people, but the greater risk is that inadequate people will know that no one weapon is not. It will provoke a crime, even those who are not sure whether to attack.

The one major reason why we have militaries is, because the common people have too much common sense to go armed. However, if they DID go armed, we wouldn't have militaries.

After death there will be nothing. So we have to develop scientific approach to longevity as fast as we are capable.

Yet the universe will at some point be nothing anyway. Also consider everything in life never turns to nothing - fire burns and turns to smoke which mixes with air etc etc.  After death comes a new journey IMO.

Of course, the simple reason why we don't know about what is after death, might be that some of the dead have gone on to such a joyful new life that they don't even remember this one, and others have gone to a prison they can't get out of to come back and tell us.

Hello,

As further our  specie develop intellectually there will be less and less religious people.

Sincerely,


We never had computers in the past. This doesn't mean that we couldn't have developed them back then. We simply didn't have the need. Why do we have the need now? Because our ability to think is declining with entropy.

As devolution happens, we need more and more crutches in life just to live. In the case of technology, since we are tapping into science in ways probably never done before, we are finding a whole lot of things never known before. But our more capable ancestors could have used our science and engineering better than we will ever be able. Why? Because they weren't as devolved as we are.
