Bible says to be aware of false religions and false gods.

This god has failed at very level to convince the world of its existence.


He has convinced millions and millions of people. It is called free will.


Why are you so angry?

think that if there were never religion then there would still be a consensus regarding morality. I think most would still believe broad statements like, "killing other people is wrong."


Go tell that to the plenty of ancient civilizations and current Middle Eastern civilizations that say otherwise.

Right, I'm just not willing to credit religion with the evolving consensus on morality.

I could easily argue that as technology improved we had less and less reasons to kill people.

I'd argue we have more of a reason. You ever seen some of the idiotic shite posted on Facebook?

Good point


I can honestly see your religion/morality argument. However, even if I bought into that and agreed it wouldn't bring me much closer to a belief in a God/afterlife though. It doesn't necessarily have to be true to make a positive impact.

Chalk it up to your god having a sick sense of humor after concocting this bizarre circus.

So we are all stuck in this world full of evil and suffering with no hope of deliverance. That is a really sad outlook you have there.

For someone that supposedly loves us with every ounce of his being, this is quite the setup he gave us.

Some say once gone, you're gone forever. Some say you're gonna come back. Some say you'll rest in the arms of a savior if them sinful ways you lack. Some say they're coming back in a garden. Bunch carrots and little sweet peas. I choose to let the mystery be.

So all you see is evil and suffering in the world and you're only hope is an afterlife?

The bible tells us that when we are dead, we are not in any kind of pain or suffering, in fact "the dead know nothing at all" (Ecc. 9:5). Jesus likend death with deep sleep in his teachings, like when Lazarus died(John 11:11-14).

Think of it this way, when your dog dies, what will be the state of that dog? He will just be dead correct? Like Gen 3:19 says we will just return to dust just like our animals. The bible even tells us that we have no advantage over animals(Ecc. 3:19)

So when we die we are in a sleeping state. We will not be going to heaven or hell, we will be conscious of nothing. We will be waiting for the resurrection( John 5:28, 29)

I never said all but this world is full of evil and suffering. I see a much grander magnificent place after death where there is zero evil and suffering.

For you, this earth is as good as it gets and this is a cruel place. And that is a very sad out look you have.



Also, you need to get your avatar picture back. You just aren't the same without it.
