    And that's something You can take to the BANK, Whoever You are!

    So? Am I saved now according to YOUR religion? Why or why not?

    How am I supposed to know which of these gods presented to me ACTUALLY created this Thing? Or if any of them did it at all?

    How should I know?

    So I'm just going to say, that whoever DID do it, I'm with Him. That should cover me. I mean, it'd be a pretty spiteful thing to let me be tortured for eternity when I just did the best that can be expected of me to support this Creator!

    I'd be a liar if I pretended to know FOR SURE precisely WHO this Creator was/is.

    Since I am ignorant, I just do the best I can with the limited knowledge I have.

    ATHEISTS, get on board with this! This way, the Christians have to let us into Heaven, should their religion turn out to be true.

    We'll have it made no matter WHICH religion ends up being true!

    There is a problem with that belief, you are excluding the church and hierarchy and silly bull(*)(*)(*)(*) rules required to follow god.

    You are removing the power from the few and empowering us all, you heretic.

    Exactly.

    I wonder how close the truth of this got to the Christians just before it flew over their heads?

    I'm not sure. But it is easier to be told what to believe rather than pursue it yourself.

    I’d like to but if there is a creator of the universe I don’t know what it’s like it could be evil to me so how can I pledge allegiance to it

    Any way im hoping for predestination where god will save whom it will and condemn whoever it feels like to show off its capacity for justice and mercy way I see it, It shows off gods mercy better to save (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)s and it shows off his justice better to condemn people that try to be good that would be hard for us but gods so swell it can manage it

    Yep those are the signs of who’s the elect for what by cracky

    sorry any actual gods that may exist just joking around

    You guys are all athesists?

    Seems like there's more of you everyday.


    btw, Christians don't have any say in who gets in. That's for the man (or woman) upstairs to decide.

    How do you know the Bible is not just fiction?

    What experience is that?

    It's not.

    You are not one who needs to know.

    Yes but how do you know that for sure?

    Why not? How can I take anything you say as truthful if its all restricted to your mind?

    You have no idea about me. You have no idea is my heart is closed or not. You are just upset you cant answer my questions so now you are running away. All I've done is ask sincere and direct questions. You cant get more open than that.
