Oh, and a whole bunch of "other people believe this too," thrown in for good measure.It wouldn't seem like he has much need for a god then...
Who would if they can create reality from mere belief?
Actually, it's like, what makes a godless cake godless.......like, what makes a flourless cake flourless?
No, you still get the demo. You are living it.The criteria being that you have to be a believer. If I were already a believer, I wouldn't need a demo, would I?
Which came first, chickens or atheists? (Just kidding, welcome to the discussion)Atheism is the natural state of the human mind, untainted by thoughts about the why or what and concerned with the how, i.e. How to survive. So atheism extends farther back than the first memory of the first human.
It is more the assumptive position of pretending to be knowledgeable about anything after building every supposition on a complete unknown. If you/they/whomever don't know from the word go, they don't know (much).Ow, the horror!!! being intellectually honest, how DARE THEY, right?!
Who are you talking about?
Which atheist here "denies" this?
That may be the case for many, but there are also many of whom that is not the case. That would be like saying the humans are born stupid, and then they are taught knowledge. People are taught and indoctrinated into all kinds of things. But you cannot remove truth from the possibilities of available knowledge...in fact, truth is the only constant in any possible scenario. But that only speaks to those who learn from others.Humans are born atheist, and then indoctrinated into religion.
No, theist knowledge is the only knowledge built upon fact...they know [truth] from the word go.This describes theists quite succinctly.
So, what are you doing with this prescient knowledge to help humanity?That may be the case for many, but there are also many of whom that is not the case. That would be like saying the humans are born stupid, and then they are taught knowledge. People are taught and indoctrinated into all kinds of things. But you cannot remove truth from the possibilities of available knowledge...in fact, truth is the only constant in any possible scenario. But that only speaks to those who learn from others.
There are numerous eyewitnesses (of which I am one), who did not learn what they know of God from others...but from God himself. And the likelihood that those who have not learned directly for God would believe their witness...doesn't change anything. But it is quite telling of human nature.
Congratulations, you have just posted evidence of an exodus!Once again do not assume that you know what I do or do not know.
Overall, Christianity is dying. Some certain sects of Christianity may be growing, but on the whole it is seemingly terminal decline.

Congratulations, you have just posted evidence of an exodus!
Actually...all kidding aside, that is exactly what that is: An exodus of the spirit born (born again) from the physical world. The world is passing away.
Anytime you propose a godless ideal as a belief system then you are articulating the doctrines of doubt. But I do know Lucifer's manifesto.
You would not know the brilliant logic of what is occurring with humanity, unless you knew the whole truth. If all there was to it was the advancement of an organic species...then you would be correct. But that is not even close to what is going on here. You are observing child birth...children of God giving birth to new spiritual beings within their organic seed. The universe was only "created" for this purpose. If you missed the memo...it is a wonder you didn't suffocate under the avalanche of human testimony and written information. But the time is well advanced, wasting away, and you have some catching up to do. This ship has sailed.People have been saying things of this nature for over 2000 years.
And if is the time when the world is passing away I think God had rather terrible timing. Our species has suffered from disease, starvation, predation and extremely short life expectancy's for 250,000+ years and has only recently become civilized in most parts of the world. Seems rather cruel to then bring the end times as we begin (around the last 100 years or so) to make extraordinary leaps in medicine and food production allowing us to live longer, healthy lives and die in relative peace and comfort.

But... he doesn't. So it doesn't confirm your claims to be true.
So, your claims are reasonable, because IF they were confirmed, they would be confirmed.
And many people confirm your claims to be true... only the one person who you cited three times in this post as a potential confirmation for your claims... this person doesn't.
Sound reason, indeed!
