It does not take wisdom to reject fairy tales.
You have not yet presented a viable theory for your imaginary being, you claim exists.
Are you mentally challenged? What don't you understand about what I said?
Atheists play a fools game. They are their worse enemy. If God doesn't exist as they believe they stay in the grave. And if God does exist because they forsake belief in the spiritual reality of God they quite possibly still stay in the grave. In other words as I see it atheists have a death wish and I fail to see any wisdom in such a wish/belief. Perhaps you can explain it to me, Yasureoktoo?

Sorry, the ball has been in your court for a while now, but you are sidestepping it.
You use the term God collectively, which is dead wrong.
So you have a specific God of all the thousands of others, and have yet to present a case for your God.

I'd have though it safer for people to openly carry crucifixes rather than guns, like they're gonna be doing soon in Texas. Maybe the crucifixes will come in handy for laying on all the corpses.

No, I am not an agnostic. I am a believer and follower of the teachings of Jesus who taught the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man and that we should love God and love and serve one another. Who's Supreme Commandment to man was "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. Matthew 5:48
And, yes, FAITH is the essential ingredient in the transferring of the seat of one's identity from the physical world to the spiritual world. Faith is the transmuting factor in a personal-relationship-realization with God that brings increasingly forth the knowing of the righteousness of God in the soul/personality of man. The kingdom of God is within. It is only through personality interaction with God that the personality of man grows increasingly to God-consciousness/likeness.
Believe in the Fatherhood of God and realize your sonship with God and pray for wisdom and guidance and you will have it, jrbogie.
i'm afraid my mind doesn't work that way, kb. i can't choose what i believe. in fact i believe nothing and question everything that i haven't experienced myself and even that i question on occasion. i suppose we'll have to leave faith and agnosticism as a matter of opinions as definitions go. i see not knowing something exists having faith that something exists as one and the same. as you yourself say, and as i too say, nobody can prove the existence or non existence of god. so although we use different terms in arriving there, we both conclude that the existence god cannot be proved either way.

why do you single out atheists here? is it only atheists or does your religion not speak of anybody who does not except jesus as their savior and son of god not being admitted to heaven? it's this notion of believe as i do OR ELSE that most drives me away from christianity or any other religion that espouses the same.

i'll take half the responsibility for any communication problem you and i are having so please help me make you understand that my mind doesn't work in a manner that allows me to choose what i believe or don't believe. and if i cannot choose to believe in god where is the wisdom in choosing to believe in god? by all means if you wish, do indeed call yourself wise and me unwise but don't ask me to explain what you see as wisdom.

As I said Jesus taught the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man and this is what I believe. Jesus didn't challenge his followers so much to believe in Him but rather to believe as He believed. Believe in the Fatherhood of God and the associate truth of the sonship of man and be about the business of knowing and abiding in God's will. If you find this distasteful or beyond your ability that's your self imposed choice and as I see it...it certainly is not a wise one.

yes, jesus said believe is i believe and christianity goes on to imply that the only way to heaven is through jesus. we need not argue over wording. we both understand what the bible says. i simply pointed out that rhetoric such as this believe as i believe or pay in the afterlife drives me further and further away from christianity. you'll never understand my reasoning by applying your reasoning.

Why would you not believe the documented accounts of man simply because you haven't experienced it yourself? You have never been to the North Pole but you believe it exists or don't you?
how do i say this so you'll understand? I BELIEVE NOTHING. QUESTION EVERYTHING especially documented accounts of man. i've been to the north pole actually having flown the polar routes between asia and europe a number of times and that experience can go in the box i was speaking of earlier about questioning even some of the things i experience. the pole wasn't marked you see so i simply relied on my navigation skills and prowess in my use of the on board flight management computers. i didn't BELIEVE i was over the north pole i simply calculated that i was. in the future, anytime you suggest that i believe something exists, north pole, space travel, etc., you'll start your argument with a false premise and you can expect a similar reply each time so why not save us both the effort?
Don't delude yourself. You have freewill the same as everyone does and you can choose to believe or disbelieve whatever you like and you can choose to place a value on your decisions.
somebody is going to have to explain to me what free will is i suppose because i don't think i agree on that topic with anybody who has ever posted on these forums. but again you've touched on a moot point. a delusion is a firm belief in a concept even when there is evidence of an alternative concept. since i believe nothing i can delude myself of nothing.

Same credibility as any other god. None.
ONE FIRST CAUSE, ONE ALMIGHTY CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH,
Superstitious garbage.
THE FIRST SOURCE AND CENTER OF ALL THINGS AND BEINGS IN WHICH WE LIVE, MOVE AND HAVE OUR BEING.
More superstitious garbage.
Now tell me why you think it is "wise" not to believe in such a God?
I believe there are over 4500 gods that man created in myths. I could be wrong. There are probably are thousands more that were never recorded. In Hindism there are 330 million gods which is interesting since it's a monotheistic religion. Certainly out does the 3 in 1 god for Christians. Gods everywhere.
Thales of Miletus said all things are full of gods. And how interesting is that when religious loons are so full of shit.

I don't have any problem exchanging opinions with you but kb2222, who define as ridiculous any opinion that doesn't match his is a different case.
Yes, I could have kept him blocked...which I did for over two years on account of his comments in other threads but I didn't.
blocking sucks. cowardice. just means the blocker has nothing cogent to add to the discussion. there's this technique known as ignore if you don't care to hear what a person has to say.

really how interesting.so how would a over paid teacher like to debate me
No teacher is overpaid. And is not a mtter of "liking to debate you" but of good manners: Answering a question.

No, it doesn't suck when the blocked person "reached such status" at the request of the other posters.
