But all you are giving us is your version of what your eyes see and what your brain acknowledges.
You need to put some qualifiers in here. You are witnessing to what you understand of what God has done. Whether or not your interpretation is correct is a whole other matter.
Then why do you continually judge other here, casting aspersion on the characters of all those who disagree with you?
As I said because you don't understand faith it doesn't matter what I tell you you still won't agree with it. Don't think I haven't been down this road before with many people of your ilk.
That door swings both ways. Until you can prove that God is NOT a part of everything then we an only assume that He could be. Actually science leans toward the belief that there are many proven benefits to believing in God. Longer life for example. Along with a happier more healthy life in general. Even atheists and agnostics tend to believe in the benefits of Christianity and religion in general. They believe in the advantage to following the moral codes if if they claim they do not believe in the God that gave us that code.
There is human faith and there is God's Divine Faith. Human faith is very big in sports. It can even get to the point of fanaticism. Doctors talk about the power of suggestion and science talks about the power of positive thinking. There are people like Zig Ziggler that make a full time job out of teaching people the benefits of positive thinking and having the right mental attitude. Then of course you have the placebo effect which has been proven to be true many, many, many times. In order to market a drug in American you have to out perform the placebo effect with is a form of having faith in a pill. How much more if we have faith in God. That is why doctors do what they can do to help who they can help and pastors do what they can do to help people. As a general rule pastors and doctors do not get in each others way. Having faith in God is going to get better results then a placebo faith in a sugar pill. Even if your faith in God could not out perform the placebo effect there is still a proven benefit in the power of suggestion and the power of positive thinking.
I do not judge people. I talk about anti theists and agnostics in general but I do not judge individuals. It is against the rules to judge people or to make the discussion personal. WE are to discuss the subject, not each other.
How would you know they were an alcoholic if they did not tell you. We had this issue with one of my sisters husbands. One day we came to the realization that he was always drinking. It just never occurred to us that he always had a beer in his hand. Then we all compared notes and we all came to realize that no one had ever seen him when he did not have a beer in his hand. No one ever accused him, at least not until after the divorce and then everyone is accusing everyone when there is a divorce in the equation.
Jesus tells us in the sermon on the Mount: "For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
I have presented you with a lot of evidence. Rock solid scientific evidence that shows the Bible is accurate and true. It is beyond me to understand why you would claim otherwise.
This is simply not true and it makes me very said that you would accuse me in this way.
