That's funny
Would you prefer one of the many muddy, contradictory stories about Satan used by what would have to be a God of 2 wills?
I agree with that, but it wasn't written by one person in a week, rather its more fragmented, layered then redone. The same story is even told in different ways.
PsychoSarah said:Don't you think that if we found the bible convincing, we wouldn't be atheists? It isn't as if we haven't read it or even been open to it being right. Is it so hard to understand that different people can read the same text and not get the same thing out of it?
Chany said:He's actually a deist, if I remember correctly.
My icon shows "deist," and that is what I am.
I was conscious at first breath. I did not yet have the ability to retain memories in the way I do now, nor was my consciousness as developed.
So who are Lucifer's mommy and daddy?
Not me. Please, by all means, continue to expound on how foolish I am to demand empirical evidence for this fantastic tale.
Do you think humans require a God, to live a good life?
Colter said:The Creator Son and the Universe Mother Spirit unite (as in creative mind not sex) for the purpose of bringing into existence the various subordinates who function in many administrative capacities. The UB teaches that Lucifer was a high Son of authority and power who fell into sin, rebelled and enlisted others in the rebellion.
Prophecy coming to pass in the Bible ought to be enough to convince a person it's right.
Believe me I've tried to find ways of breaking it.
So the creator son and the universe mother spirit made a baby asexually named Lucifer, and he doesn't remember being created? Did they create him as fully grown Lucifer or as baby Lucifer?
Yeah...because atheists reject the concept of God simply because they can't see the invisible.

Nice caricature
Now I realize why it's so difficult for Christians to talk to atheists as the title asks. It's because of all the silly assumptions made about atheists rather than just asking us.
There isn't any empirical evidence to spirituality. You have to stay in chemistry class with your pocket protectors and pyrex beakers, we get to do acid, take field trips and have fun in the spiritual realm.
That's cool. Me and my atheist buddy Satan can hang out and cook smores.
I doubt your buddy will allow you to enjoy eating any of them.
No it'll be totally cool. I mean, you even admit that he is our buddy. ;-)
No, just a good afterlife.
Are you going to provide the empirical evidence that you surly have based on laboratory research that "good" exists and how you contrast that with the evil that you also must have proven exists before you believed in it???
Just asking, I don't want that nit picking Aussie getting on my case.We know that everything must first be proven.
I don't know how "cool" it would be in those flames, dude!
Dude, he's our buddy. He'll make it so the flames won't burn. Plus, some like their marshmallows burnt :-D
