Do you not know that a ton of atheists used to be theists, plenty of which were Christian just like yourself?You're atheist, so have no clue that putting faith in God has a real effect and that the Spirit of God does supernaturally confirm things and reveal things to a man who is having faith.
Not debate about it? If you have no defense for your position, don't debate, it's that simple.So of course you don't understand that or believe in it. I can't demonstrate this to you because it is an internal thing which takes place. So...what's a guy to do.
Yes, and here's what probably happened to them:Do you not know that a ton of atheists used to be theists, plenty of which were Christian just like yourself?

I believe a lot of what HE created was just because He could do it.
I am not sure who HE would be "showing off" to as He has no peers to impress.
That's not usually how it goes. Most of the atheists here, be they former theists or not, are not angry at any gods. It's a stupid waste of time to be angry at something you don't believe exists anyways.Sure, I figure most of them used to be theists. They probably had something happen and got angry at God about it, so became atheists.
You have the money story, but aside from that, you haven't said anything I haven't heard before. You are definitely very polite about it, though, which I appreciate.Defense? I give my personal testimonies of what God has done for me and which has proven to me that He is real and does help...He...has His own way of doing things I have learned. I convey what He has shown me and, it's possible that many atheists are not aware of some of those things?
I'm not humble as much as I am a completely spineless coward that torments themselves every night with thoughts about their own mortality. Nothing more humbling though than being an insignificant, transient speck on a water covered rock that has no ultimate purpose, though, so I highly doubt that most atheists have pride issues.Like in the OT, God dealt with the Israelites in a if this, then that type of deals. If they will humble themselves and obey, then I will bless them as my people...but if they do not, then I will not bless them and even perhaps curse them. SO it's all give and take.
How come that deity still talks to you even though you are wearing clothes of mixed fibers right now?Salvation is a free gift, but to have God interact with you more and bless you...then He wants to see us obey and to actually do what He says.

Confirmation bias can be a real bother sometimes.
Yes, and here's what probably happened to them:
STEP 1: They began embracing evolution.
STEP 2: They began considering themselves Homo sapiens (wise man).

Yes?
I dont think we are friends.
Just trying to be friendly
Hope all is good in your life
Did they deny reality to become a Christian in the first place?Accepting reality is a bad thing?
Did they deny reality to become a Christian in the first place?
Didn't Paul ask:
Galatians 3:3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
Let's apply this to my point:
Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by physical reality?
... or even ...
Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by denying your Christianity?
Follow the conversation then, please.No idea what you are babbling about.
