Anybody on this board who is a non-believer or atheist, as we all know, is free to live their life however they choose. It’s good that you do good works that are positive and bring joy to others which, whether you realize it or not, is pleasing to God and you are unwittingly glorifying Him.

I’ll continue praying for your conversion and hope that one day God will change your heart so you’ll want to accept him as your Lord and Savior before you pass away.

Otherwise.........prepare to spend eternity sweating like a pig.

Yep, we are definitely the closed minded ones, with our arrogant “well, I haven’t found evidence that convinced me of the existence of a god, so I guess I won’t actively believe in one” lunacy. You have such an amazingly open mind, it has basically bent back onto itself to the point where you simply can’t conceive that anyone would think differently than you do. Honestly, that must be an incredible burden for you to bear. I can’t fathom the depth of your patience with us while we victimize you over and over by daring not to believe something you believe. You are truly what saints are made of.


Truly an incredible explanation for the uber religious.

Yeah it's called life, and there's almost certainly more life on other planets we just haven't found it yet

Thanks man, but I'm good.

It's also more than a bit presumptuous to think that you have some better life or experience here than the rest of us because you choose to believe something we do not.

I endeavor to live a good life, doing what I can to improve the lives of those around me. If I’m ultimately successful in that endeavor, yet I’m tortured for eternity simply because I didn’t believe in the right god, then I’m content to say that we live in an awful, cruel plane of existence ruled by a petty, evil god who doesn’t deserve to be worshipped, and I sincerely hope that there is an even higher plane of existence that will eventually punish said god for its wickedness.

That’s why I said you’re free to live your life in whatever way you choose. Not trying to force my beliefs on anyone else just stating my opinion, just as you did.

I think a lot of it is people like you don't even realize how insulting and condescending that type of stuff can come across.

"Well, whether you like it or not, you're glorifying him and making him happy"

"I'll pray that someday you figure it out"

How about this...just say "live your life", and I'll say the same for you?

I think you and I agreeing to disagree is probably the best outcome possible in this situation. It’s very clear our ideologies and beliefs are worlds apart.

I think there's substantial evidence, using the literal definition of the word. Most atheists, it seems, conflate evidence with proof.

No, they argue that God does things they don't like so they don't believe in Him.


How many different times are you going to suggest this, be told you're wrong, and keep repeating it anyway?

Atheists do not disbelieve in gods because they don't like them. They disbelieve in gods because there is no evidence of their existence.

Darth Vader also did things I don't like...but the reason I don't believe in him IS NOT because he did things I don't like. Goodness...

You seem to be a smart guy...so I'm guessing this is just a shitty debate tactic?

weird how you'll only go after the religion that most white people are, and give a pass to the proven violent and bigoted ones. it's almost as if...no, can't be...you can't be racist, you're a liberal.

The idea that atheists give non-Christians a pass is a silly straw man built by Christians who want to claim persecution.

No way this happened. We all know this only happens in San Antonio.
