I won't reply to that since I'm a little confused about that issue right now. ;) Well, I guess we disagree there. ;) Well, it just makes more sense to me to punish someone who has done something bad, and for the punishment to be eternal it would have to be pretty bad, wouldn't it? Yeah...

I guess I can't. Mine just makes more sense to me. I see where you're coming from. I guess I can't prove it then, can I? :) I see. My position is agnostic atheist, so it's not like I'm convinced there's no god. But if I'd have to choose between yes or no (and nothing else) to the...

I see where you're coming from. However, if only believers have personal experiences it isn't nearly as strong evidence as if a nonbeliever had an experience regarding a god.

Well, I guess that's a difference between us. I just don't like the idea of someone believing I should be eternally tortured. It would, of course, also be amusing. It's not like I am concerned of the thought of burning in hell, it's about the fact that my fellow man honestly thinks I should...

Exactly how do you 'sit in his presence and hear directly from him'?

Well, it's not enough. And I can't just start believing in something and only afterwards learn it actually makes sense. ;)

I would 'love Him and want bo be with Him' if I believed in him and his benevolence. --------- Thanks for your post. :)

Thanks for the good-mooded post. :)

Ok. And thanks.

Sure, I go to hell for my sins, but the reason I won't get saved is because of my lack of faith. What exactly in the nature suggests design? On the contrary, millions of lifeless planets suggest the contrary. However, i don't think this is the place for that argument. Ok... Sure, it's...

I gotta go now, but I'll be answering again in a couple of hours. :wave:

Thanks for your suggestion, I might just do that. PS.I don't think people who believe in God are silly. :P

I agree the Bible is some evidence, although not nearly enough. ;)

No, I just find it a little disturbing my fellow man thinks I should be eternally tortured. Except when that someone would tells you you deserve to burn in Mount Doom forever for whatever reason. That would be a little disturbing, not because I'm worried it's true. Why because of unbelief...

I'm sure he could figure out what would convince me. ;) Witnessing an unexplainable miracle, discovering Christian aliens, something like that. ;) Of course he'd have to prove he's the Christian God, too. Thanks for your post. :)

Why must that 'way' be faith? Because of that most of humanity won't get to him. If he made it clear he existed and accepted those who accepted him, that, I think, would be better. If faith is the only way to return to this supposed god, then lots of good people are living in a worse place just...

I understand what you mean, but surely you believe Christians go to heaven? Because they are 'forgiven for their faith'. Why faith? Surely an omnipotent god could've come up with a solution where most people wouldn't go to hell. Thanks for your post, though. :)

Well, the only way I can avoid hell is by faith, isn't it? So practically I am. You can only see God behind the creation of the universe if you first assume God exists. And I have seen only men claim that God exists, not God himself. Jesus could very well have existed, whether he was the son...

Being open to evidence doesn't mean acccepting any evidence. Nothing really suggests that the Bible is anything but a book.

I am not concerned about hell, I'm concerned about the fact that people think I deserve to go there, and that a benevolent god would send me there. Almost, it's mostly about a specific sin, whether nonbelief is something you deserve to burn in hell for or not. ;) But to be saved, we would...
