Good for you. After all, the only thing worthwhile in life is the enjoyment you get out of it. So, enjoy while you can. I speak for God because you will not take up His Word and let it speak to you. I don't accept any "messages" or "instructions" from God via third parties. Bible, Jesus, preists, vicars, pastors, prophets, YOU, are all third parties, thus as a standard life rule, are ignored and will continue to be ignored. If God wants to give me a message it will come directly from him to me, with no middle men. It will be clear, concise, unmistakeable, unavoidable, with no room for interpretation errors. Edit: Oh, by the way, lying by claiming you're actually following a message from God to tell me your nonsense won't work. When God speaks to people directly, He does it from deep down inside the person. The Bible is essentially for comparison purposes. If what a person hears from deep down inside matches the Bible, then he is hearing God speaking in himself. If what he hears doesn't match the Bible, then it is himself or the devil speaking to himself. If one doesn't look at the Bible, he doesn't know when God is speaking. But God indeed speaks to the hearts of all people.

Break the loop and I'll continue talking and educating you. (Spoiler alert: You won't.)

No. You were the one who showed it. So, you were the one who blundered into it, just like you blundered into your atheism/anti-God stupidity.

BADecker why do you resort to name calling? You resort to this when your arguments lack logic or sense.
As for your arguments about Police cars and such..... Only religious idealists suggest the Bible is the truth. Yet you yourself have acknowledged it isn't so. Please find a point and stick to it.
Please show me the evidence you speak of about your "God". I long to see this evidence. Only fanatics can see something and believe it to be evidence. Those of us with intellect question and find that religion is purely to keep the mindless masses in check with fear based fiction.
My Faith tells me that Lord of the Rings is Truth. Just the same logic as your faith tells you the Fictional book called "The Bible" is your truth.
You speak for God proves that your "God" is impotent and worthless. Gimme Gandalf the Grey anytime!

Even God doesn't force anybody to believe Him. He simply shows them the miracles of nature, the nation of Israel, and the Bible, and lets them make their own choice. I certainly don't want to take your freedom of choice away from you.

Creation happened once without our understanding how. Why can't it happen again?

because they believe that fundamentally it is a revolution like the theory once said human darwin is a form of evolution from apes on the basis of human and ape genes are almost the same. But, it is different from religious people. They believe that everything in this world, nobody has created, and is not a coincidence. What? Revolution like theory? Darwin is a form of apes? I realty dontc understand what did u say here...

I just dont have unrealistic beliefs in some omnipresent god type character . Why not. We don't know that God doesn't exist. In fact, science and nature say that He does. This stuff had to come from somewhere. And there is great intelligence in its structure... so great that it defies mankind to find it all out. If it wasn't complex, researchers would have figured out how to let us all live a thousand years, long ago. As it is, there are still a few peoples around the world that live longer than modern science has allowed us to live. Are you trying to say that dumb nature is smarter than we are? The bible is as far as we can know it a work of fiction, There is no reason to think otherwise, The first and biggest problem with it is that it was written by man in an age where not much was known about anything. If you like it was our very first attempt at science and also our worst.
You are mistaken about this. The information in the first 5 books of the Bible describes the "soul" of man better than most of our modern psychology. In addition, the Bible was written as a record, by those who believed God was telling them to write. How strong did they believe? The Dead Sea Scrolls show us that there is virtually no change in about 2,400 years of hand copying it. You have to believe quite strongly to copy the same thing over and over, generation to generation like that. There is strength in the Bible. That's why they did it.

Not all believers hate atcheists, not all atheists hate religion. Im an atheist and i dont hate religion, i do not like when religious people deny everything because of their views and atheists can be so cringy.

I had two atheist friends in my life and I spoke to then about this. I have been told they don't hate religion at all but they think God was just an invention for us to be enslaved in this world. There is one problem though: if you die and you didn't believe and God didn't exist.... It's alright but what if you die, you didn't believe and He exists?!

Yeah, this is called Pascal's wager. A well documented flawed argument.

Of course you knew this already, and just trying to avoid my challenge of you breaking out of the circle. You'll get dizzy keep spinning round and round like that. The reason why the Bible is the Word of God is that it has strength behind it. The little nation of Israel has great strength. Israel has existed possibly longer than any other nation. The Israel people hold that the Old Testament is truth. The only reason why they hold the Bible as such for as long as they have, is because there is strength in the Bible. What does that have to do with your circle? Nothing. Of course, you won't know this about the Bible unless you study the history of how it came into being. But if you do, you will find that it is a miracle that can't exists the way it does, except that it does.

Yeah, this is called Pascal's wager. A well documented flawed argument. I agree that it is essentially a bad argument to use. But it is true just the same. The problem with it is that it can be used for just about any silly thing. And for some of those silly things it will be used in a false or bad way.
