Why do you even care what others believe? As long as it's not being shoved down your throat. In all actuality, this thread is an example of YOU shoving your "faith" down our throats. So why should you care, if you actually think there is no "God?"

The short answer is that I care as much about truth as you apparently do about propagating feel-good mythology.

I case you haven't noticed, this is a public forum. When exposed to unimpeded public traffic, claims are scrutinized from all angles, and only survive if they have merit. Otherwise they are fileted.

If you want your nonsense to go unchallenged, then take it to a forum like the Christian forum here, or to a "house of worship," or to a similar homogeneous place where they do not permit challenges and where you will find asylum for yor claims. Out in the real world you have to prove your claims, and you've already shown that you have no interest in such an exercise. So run along now!

Of course, you don't want to address that. We could. I was just trying to establish that we all have "faith" in something.

OK. Let's do it.

I have faith that the sun will "rise" tomorrow. I have no faith in the existence of gods or supernatural beings. If you do, is it your position that the two extensions of faith are equally reasonable?

Yes, it is. Does it count that the "sun rose" if it's cloudy tomorrow? Wink

Wrong. I don't go about getting into people's faces telling them they are full of crap. On the other hand, you seem to like starting threads that malign Christianity.

Personally, I don't care what you do with your life. If you want to worship a stone or jump off a cliff, it's totally up to you. But it's YOU who is totally stressed over what Christians like myself believe. You get on this "prove it, prove it, prove it" mantra like a rabid dog. I've yet to see anyone here or really on any other board so foaming at the mouth like atheists. They are "hellbent" on proving there is no God. Why? Because if you find that He does exist, then you also know that hell exists.

In most cases respectful discourse occurs. Apparently not with you.

God never demanded that we prove He exists. So it's up to YOU to find out if He does or not. Simply put, it's between you and Him and no one else.

Oh, so much for a public forum. Now I have to run along? LOL

It's not at all surprising that you perceive a constant demand to prove your claims to be like the angry bark of a rabid dog. It's only perceived that way by you because it's a demand that you dread and cannot satisfy. But in the real world you must be prepared to accept reality. Like I said, go relax in the comfort of the Christian forum, and you can avoid all of these pesky challenges. I apologize if the truth sounds dispespectful.

No, you need to pay attention. Seems you're lacking in that department. It is YOU who behaves like a rabid dog when it comes to Christianity. You're the one who is determined that there is no God and you sure are going to make sure no one else believes that either. Why? If I wanted to believe in the Easter Bunny, what's it to you? Who cares? Are long as I'm not shoving Easter Eggs up your nose, don't worry about it.

But you do worry about it. It eats you up inside. Because, as I said, if I'm right and you're wrong, there's hell to pay.
