Christopher Hitchens Destroys Biblical miracle claims

[Danno 1,228]

That doesn't make sense.

Is Scandal also a believer in God deep down inside or just me?

Scandal shows no evidence of being obsessed on the matter, for you it's an all consuming passion.

In fact you shame me, for you are far more dedicated to bringing people a message of hopelessness ....than I am at bring the message of hope.

The question is WHY?

Does your message that God is Dead brighten anyone life... either now or upon their death?

If people follow religions which are as made-up as is Santa clause... so what, why take from them this meaningful part of their life....

even if it's only sugar pill, what hard does it do.... does your Atheism bring you so much joy that you are compelled to share this great treasure you found?

You are not just someone who speaks his honest opinion when asked, you are on an actual MISSION, in fact you are a Missionary no you are more than that,

My friend you are the equivalent, "Street preacher" ... of atheism, barking your message of truth out as the crowd shuffles past.

SO let me ask you, how many converts do you have so far?

Of course I am just messin with you a little, despite all your arguments to the contrary, I don't think you will go to your grave with that cloak of darkness in your life, God will reveal himself to you and who knows....

you might be just as Zealous as a Believer as you are an unbeliever.

Yea, Nathan, you're a missionary, dude.

So many Gods to choose from. How can one truly decide?

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

So many Gods to choose from. How can one truly decide?

Worship them all, just to play it safe. Sticking with just one god hasn't worked out that well for some folks.

"I believe in God as I believe in the sun. Not because I see it, but because by it I see everything else."

C.S. Lewis

Listen to the Spooks. He is trying to get you back in touch, Sunshine.

Word.

As any real scientist or investigator knows you search and research where the subject is at, not from the comfort of where you are.

If you truly wish to understand spiritual topics you must be willing to "go there" to study.

How can one who is unwilling to seek on a spiritual plane .... learn of the spiritual.

For many of us we just aren't interested or even mockingly we approach the subject.

The bible cautions believers not to "cast your pearls before the swine"

WHich is commonly interpreted to mean- Don't lay out the valuable things of God before those who only wish to trample them.

Matthew 7.6

<Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.>

Jules: There's a passage I got memorized. Ezekiel 25:17. "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you." I been sayin' that sh** for years. And if you ever heard it, it meant your a$$. I never really questioned what it meant. I thought it was just a cold-blooded thing to say to a motherfu**er before you popped a cap in his a$$. But I saw some sh**this mornin' made me think twice. Now I'm thinkin': it could mean you're the evil man. And I'm the righteous man. And Mr. .45 here, he's the shepherd protecting my righteous a$$ in the valley of darkness. Or it could be you're the righteous man and I'm the shepherd and it's the world that's evil and selfish. I'd like that. But that sh** ain't the truth. The truth is you're the weak. And I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin, Ringo. I'm tryin' real hard to be the shepherd.

Are you doing a movie dialog there.... and I don't know it?

I don't know what Scandal's beliefs are. He doesn't post daily threads stating what they are and trying to convince others that he is correct.

He has stated many many many times he is an atheist.

He's very smart. I think he is right and you are wrong about religion.

Scandal is very smart, without a doubt...
