By Allah I obviously meant the Muslim idea of god which is incompatible with Christianity... not merely an undefined Arabic word. You could see Zeus does, but you have to be willing to look for it. I can’t explain what created everything without god, but you can’t explain who shoots love...

I have good evidence to believe in wind. I cannot see it, but I can see what it does. I don’t see anything god does. There’s a better natural explanation to everything. Just as I don’t credit spirits for the rustling of leaves, I no longer credit god for natural occurrences. Pascal’s Wager can...

There’s also the possibility that satan doesn’t exist... you could be saying ‘if you’re not serving Tinker Bell, you’re automatically serving Captain Hook!’... I’m more than willing to serve god and shun satan, I would just some some small piece of evidence first.

I’m not sure what “win the Bible” means, I used to win bible trivia all the time ;) ... but as an Atheist, I feel I should make some response. You are right that we are not likely to worship any beasts, anti christs, or devils... But honestly I don’t get the infatuation with apocalyptic...

You’re not alone. Christianity tries to solve problems it can’t and ends up making everything worse. The Bible has no logical answers to suffering. It tries, but the fact remains that an all powerful god who allows evil is himself responsible for it (directly or by extension) I used to be a...

“Your a hypocrite yourself! You would kill embryos to save someone else "for the greater good"; yet you get mad at God for either allowing (or even commanding) to kill people (also for a greater good); but because you don't see what that greater good is - it's suddenly immoral when God does it?”...

“(If gene editing is even possible)” it’s not only possible, it’s already happened. I’m not going to debate the details because neither of us are qualified. “if she is guilty, it is her own sin that has caused this, not God.“ So you’re completely against abortion, but you think it’s...

“And what (about abortion) is more complicated than most Christians are willing to admit?” This is a very tricky issue and I don’t want to get into all of it... I believe babies are humans even in the womb, therefore they deserve the same constitutional right to life as every other human. This...

The age old question is ‘if god is good, why is there suffering?’ It’s a serious question that deserves honesty and respect. There are no satisfying answers with a theistic worldview in my experience. I don’t support abortion at all and I’ve stated that clearly (although it’s more complicated...

How would you feel if I said you’re whining about your disabled son? I would never say anything so insulting! Just as I said before, I respect your strength and your willingness to share your story. I was more than happy to accept our differences and part ways on that note... but now you’re...

I appreciate your openness and your strength. My sister with Down’s syndrome lives with me. I know every diagnosis is different, but I understand how truly hard it can be. I’m sure you’ve also found it rewarding as I have. She was born with a hole in her heart and requires semiannual open heart...

Why? Killing babies is moral if there’s a hell? I’m not following...

So you’re saying the Bible has so many Contradictions and immoral commands that it had to be written by god? Again it sounds like you’re saying ‘aliens couldn’t hide their existence this good if they weren’t real’ Why keep looking for knowledge in a book that obviously has moral wrongs and errors?

The casting was pretty good. He was Way better than the suicide squad joker for sure. Didn’t like the story though lol

I just wonder what it would take to make you reconsider when you see obvious flaws in your religious book as more evidence in favor of that god. It’s sorta like a guy who can’t find evidence of UFOs but gets even more convinced because ‘obviously the aliens are hiding the evidence’ I assume...

I don’t understand the connection between acts 17 and my argument. My problem is with god killing innocent babies as a punishment for someone else’s crimes. Weather or not murdered babies get in the back door of heaven sometimes doesn’t matter. It’s still immoral to demand the killing of...

So the answer isn’t obvious and it’s completely justifiable to accept or reject the notion? Do you think god puts people in hell for guessing wrong on this?

How do we know what god’s wisdom is? You’ve already told me you think the Bible has errors and mistakes right? So how do we access this wisdom? How do you even know it exists?

“human” reasoning as opposed to what? Reasoning is reasoning, I’ll choose it over faith every day. I’m yet to see an instance where faith without reasoning is a virtuous or beneficial quality.

I just read your entire response, I still don’t see an explanation. Do you think it’s acceptable to punish children for someone else’s crimes? Or are you denying that god does this? You loose either way, because I can show you where this happens 10 times in the Bible, and every court in the...
