The problem of evil

[(° ͡ ͜ ͡ʖ ͡ °) (ᵔᴥᵔʋ)]

Why should I? You've certainly given me no good reason to do so.

Well, ask yourself, why not? What is keeping you from typing those words?

Then try it.

Why would you tell people to tell lies? Is that what Jesus would do, or Satan?

The poor case for Christianity?

Because it is not a lie. Can you type it? It's easy.

Just an honest question Jason,

What are you hoping to accomplish here? Do you think that pressuring someone into saying something accomplishes anything? As Christians this is not how we are supposed to be behaving. Jesus didn't force you to say He is Lord, that was your choice, and it was mine as well, but it is a CHOICE.

Even if you can get someone to repeat something, that will not change their heart. People can say all kinds of things, that doesn't mean that they are sincere. Sincerity is what matters when you confess Jesus as Lord, you must mean what you say.

I ask you respectfully to please stop antagonizing people. That is not how we are to treat others. As Christians, we are to love others and we do not force our beliefs on anyone.

Don't worry. I have my reasons. I will explain it to you in a PM.

Quoting scriptures is very easy too. On a philosophy forum, it's lazy even.

If a man claimed to be "the Son of God" and performed miracles right in front of your eyes, would you believe him or call it a hoax or trickery?

I dont put much credibility in the claims of anonymous authors, who penned their work 40-70 years after the fact. You can though.

In regards to someone performing miracles in front of me, i have yet to witness this, but will let you know if it happens.

It's easy for you, since it wouldn't be a lie for you.

So you should have no problems typing in and posting: "I renounce God the Father. I renounce Jesus Christ. I renounce the Holy Spirit."

No copy-paste. Actually type this.

It is not necessarily the same because I do believe in God. It is not my integrity that I fear, it is God's judgement for denying Him. Since atheist like yourself do not believe in God, you shouldn't have any fear of His judgement...correct? The only thing you have to worry about is your integrity. Now, given the conversation, everyone knows that if you did say "Jesus is Lord", it would not be a confession but merely a reply to a request. Thus, your integrity would not be in question.

So you do not wish to lie? Even though God would omnisciently know you didn't mean anything by it?

I don't worry about my integrity. I have integrity. And you are asking me to violate mine.

*I* will tell you what is a violation of my integrity. You do not get to dictate that to me.

Though I will meet you halfway. Jesus is Lord for me is a lie.

Well, I see that this is the best that I will get from anyone. And I appreciate you meeting half way. In return I will say that it would be a lie to say "Jesus is not Lord".

Well, I will digress for now. My experiment is complete and has further provided evidence of the existence of the Holy Spirit. Thank you.

Thank you for participating in a little experiment of mine. You all can carry on now. I will leave you alone.

No problem. I apologize for the frustration. It was just an experiment.

As an atheist, I can confidently say, I'm not afraid of "God's judgement."

Uh huh.

Best explained as confirmation bias, because everybody knows creationists don't know the first thing about "experiments."
