Okey what you really think about this religion

This is where you and the other atheists luck out. True believers in God - the Christians - are often more or less blind-faith believers. That is, they think that they have reason to believe in God, but they can't really put their finger on it.

The reason for this is that they don't know their religion anywhere near the way they are supposed to. Even Saint Paul, in Romans chapter 1 agrees with what I say:In other words, even the Bible acknowledges the things that I say at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=737322.msg10718395#msg10718395.

Be glad that other Christians don't recognize this, because if they did, you atheists and agnostics would be laughed right out of town because of your stupid, willful ignorance.

The believers are saved based on their faith in God. Faith in God doesn't have anything to do with the scientific knowledge that exists or doesn't exist. It has to do with the way that God uses His Word to hold on to the hearts of the believers.

The scientific evidence that I have shown at my above link is there for you. It is there to show you and the other atheists that your atheism is based in stupidity, so that thereby you might, through its prompting, have occasion to get into the Bible, get the Word into you, so God has something to save you with.

Science saves no-one. Science is way too limited in its scope and breadth and strength to save anyone. Only God can save. The way He does it is through faith in His words, the Word, the Bible. It isn't blind faith. It is "educated" faith. You are badly mistaken in your way. If you don't change, you will ultimately destroy yourself in an everlasting, painful destruction.

None of the atheists has any logic that the things written here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=737322.msg10718395#msg10718395 are false. All they can do is SAY that these things are false and make fun of them.

Even if there is a perverted God that rewards only those who do not believe in him and punishes the rest, atheists would still ultimately be pathetic losers, since all their beliefs and dogmas would turn out to be false in the end...

Wtf, now I understand why they are so hateful, spiteful, and overall vicious deep inside

As I said previously, this doesn't make the atheist strategy of non-believing losing less. Is it really so hard to understand?

Therefore, in the eyes of the followers of these religions (majority), atheists (minority) appear to be total losers, since if their God exists, the believers will be rewarded, if he doesn't, they lose nothing, which instigates hate and envy from the atheists (since the latter psychologically can't ignore the opinion of the majority, whether they like it or not)...

Quite simple. If you believe and God exists, you'll be rewarded. If God doesn't exist, you lose nothing. Therefore believing is more optimal strategy in life (and beyond), which atheists simply can't agree with and humbly resign themselves to...

There is difficulty in determining if I am a bad guy or if I am a good guy. Here is where the difficulty lies.



If I am a Good Guy

People need to know what is going on. They need to be warned. They need to be saved from their mistakes.

The scientifically observable workings of the universe are of secondary importance. People need to see that the Great God Who controls the whole universe, is the Guy who makes the rules and controls them as easily as you and I speak or write.

In the Revelation of the Bible, there is a short description about the destruction of the universe. Included in that description is: "The sky receded like a scroll, rolling up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place."

Much of the writing at the time that the Revelation was written, was written on scrolls, rather than books like we have today. The picture of that little line in the Revelation is like God getting tired of reading from the book of the scroll of this universe, and then rolling it up to place it on the shelf, something like a Middle East sage might do with a scroll today.

The rolling up of the story scroll of this universe is going to be a bit different than simply setting the scroll back on the bookshelf. God doesn't like this story, because the devil and the people have corrupted it. God befriended them, and they corrupted the scroll of this universe. So, God is going to throw the scroll of this universe into the fire. From Revelation:The "first heaven and first earth had passed" by being thrown into the lake of fire. The "sea" spoken of is the sea of people who did not have faith in the One True God.

People need to be warned, so that they can seek God and be saved. God is not far from each of us. If we seek Him, He will be found by us, and we will be saved.



If I am a Bad Guy

There are people in this forum who don't believe in God. If I had not written my posts in such an adamant, direct form, the unbelievers would simply have gone on their way... not believing. But because of the way I have written, and because of the evidence I have shown, many of these people have become strongly opposed to the idea of God, much more so than they would have if nobody had written as straight-forward as have I. The result of my writing is that many of these have set themselves firmly in their anti-God stance. Some have even blasphemed God... more than they ever would have if I had not written.

The result is that these godless people will be punished more severely after the time of judgment than if they had never heard about God. Jesus said:
This means that I am actually causing some to be punished following the judgment, more than they would have if I had not spoken.



Conclusion

But what does it really matter? Their punishment is the thing that they have asked for by not repenting. And my words were a warning, causing some to have a change of heart, avoid the punishment altogether, and join with the saved in the new heavens and the new earth. Thus, the thing that I have done and am doing, is good, even though it moves some into contracting onto themselves more punishment.

I'm afraid the OP's quite naive. 3 years ago, I was in Italy, and some websites I tried to access were blocked. Today, I'm in France, in a public place with free wi-fi, and I've been unable to launch Tor. I've tried with different settings, but it fails each time.

It's the sad truth, we're getting f*cked everywhere.

It's worse in Iran, Israel, or Egypt, but that doesn't help.

This proves that the usual religious person is actually a bad one. They're helping others for the wrong reasons, for their own salvation. This is selfish.
The majority of atheists who do help don't do it because of such reasons.

Religious activities depend HUGELY on the INTERPRETATION of the reader. So, Islam or Christianity or Buddhism teach whatever you interpret out of the words.

I don't buy it.  I don't see the UK being nearly as bad as America in breaking the privacy of it's populations.
As with a lot of things, the UK is somewhere between America and Europe, not ideal but not quite NSA levels yet.

I trust the Tories not to go overboard, Labour would have been worse, much worse.

Only someone who is prone to believing in fairy tales would believe for no reason that the universe existed before they did.

So, if you have reason to believe, what is it? And don't say, "'Cause Mommy told me so."

Shockingly, I understood this, but it's still inaccurate.  Of course he doesn't realize it, but this is close to an Occam's Razor-type inference based upon all available, pragmatic evidence acquired throughout our life.  It's a perfectly valid conclusion that we can't possibly know whether the Universe does or does not exist in the absence of our experience of it, or some aspect of it.

His mistake is making a definitive conclusion.  He is claiming he knows the Universe doesn't exist in the absence of our experience of it, rather than claiming we can't know, which would be empirically correct.  There is no theoretical way to empirically validate or invalidate the existence of the Universe in the absence of our experience of it.

The universe didn't exist for anyone before they were born. Therefore the universe doesn't exist except for the lifetime of people. The suggestion that the universe exists more than your lifetime is all a made up story that you might have heard about before you were born, but that you have apparently forgotten about since.

 

Of course, neither you or anybody else can prove that there isn't consciousness without the brain. So where is your evidence that there isn't thinking without the brain?

Why should I waste the time. You wouldn't believe it anyway.



How many of you Fluffer Overblows are there, anyway? When one of you gets tired, another one takes over.

Just because I didn't tell YOU what I was doing before I was born, doesn't mean I don't know. So, any of the views that you have about what will happen to you when you die are probably just wishful thinking.
