just friendly reminder, this forum is not a Discussion forum, there is one of those on the main page lower down. Encouraging us to look at humanism doesn't seem appropriate either. Please no need to reply.

You should send money because of your compassion to help humanity and starving children, not because you are trying to glorify or make yourself look better in the eyes of the Lord.
edit---Has anybody looked into Humanism at all?
Rather than to continue to respond ad infinitum to your posts, I'll just say the following:
Itjust comes down to that your god can do no wrong. You'll always find a way to justify his behavior and the awful things that exist in this world. You can't explain how a loving god would kill an innocent child, but very time you come up with a way to make god look good (or the devil look bad) and it's all justified.
I could never see myself living this way where whenever I'm faced with an issue about "why did god kill my mom or that little sweet girl with cancer" that I have to justify it somehow.
God takes credit for all that is good and the devil (or evil human beings) take the credit for all taht is bad. Interesting. Next time I buy something that is defective, I'll just blame it on the devil for influencing me to buy it, or better yet, blame myself for being too corrupted with sin to buy the right product.
I could justify all night long that I am in fact god, and that it's I that am responsible for all the good in this world, and that it is my sister who controls all the evil. I could just say I'm too lazy to cure the sick and feed the hungry, but I could if I wanted to. Could you prove otherwise, no. And I realize that I can't prove that your god doesn't exist either. So why would you believe one over the other?
Seriously, if you're feeling froggy, give it a try and prove that I'm not god.
Anything is possible when you believe in magic.
Uhmmmm no that's not what it means. Actually, not even close.
Really? I never stopped praying (prove I didn't) But thanks for playing! (really it's been fun)

You must first show that God is responsible for the awful things that exist in the world.
When did God ever kill "an innocent child"?
There's nothing at all in scripture to indicate that God "kills with cancer".
Cancer is caused by the body's inability to regulate the production of white blood cells, not God.
Not really. If you read the Bible, you'll see that the Devil is a relatively minor player who doesn't really get "credit" for much of anything.
Sure. I can look at your birth certificate and see that you were born and, before too long, you're going to die.
Because there is evidence that Jesus is God. There is no evidence that you're God, only evidence that you're not God.
No. You're the one who made the claim that you can justify that you are god. Therefore, it is up to you to justify that you are god, not up to us to show that you're not.
I ask because it is an answer to the question...you are a created being...you did not exist at one point and then you did...hence somebeing (or beings) created you...319 years of age, why do you ask?
I'm assuming, though, that you're addressing my infantile post. I'll admit it isn't the best argument, but for the sake of my point, I believe it serves a purpose.
If you believe that god can explain all things, then I challenged you to prove that I, Zocrates, cannot do all things as well as, or even better than god himself.
I'm not one of those guys that wastes time with "spite posts", so yes, I'm very serious.Umm.. are you serious with this.. or is just a spite post..?
God Bless

Uhmmm if you were God wouldn't you KNOW what my faith was not BELIEVE?

God supposedly created us and this world. Don't you think is he's responsible for this glorious creation, that he's also responsible for everything that goes wrong with it as well?
If you need me to start giving out verses, then I guess I can
surely if you have read the bible, you'll find countless instances where he commanded the slaughter of first borns, not to mention the flood that killed small children as well.
I'm glad you realize this. You've found a real explanation for something that goes on in our world. 2,000 years ago, people had no idea what the cause of cancer was, so they probbaly just chalked it up to evil spirits.
Well then, let's drop this devil character all together and stop blaming him for the evil that goes on.
Whoa now, my birth certificate means nothing. This is just the current life form I am using. When this life form dies, I will inhabit another human body.
There is no evidence for either. There's no evidence for jesus as god
Anything is possible when you believe in magic...just as god was able to magically send jesus to hell and back again. Great huh?
I ask because it is an answer to the question...you are a created being...you did not exist at one point and then you did...hence somebeing (or beings) created you...
Further, you can babel about all things but it does not mean you can explain all things.
Not when that creation has free will.
Can you show us when God ever killed innocent children or can you not?
When Jesus was killed, Luke made statements about His death due to damage to His cardial sac that would not have been commonly known to science in that day.
Likewise, up until about 1900, science believed that there were only a few thousand stars in the sky, but the Bible tells us that they are countless in their numbers.
When the commonly accepted science of the day told us that the Earth was flat, the Bible told us that it was spherical.
The only person blaming him for the evil that goes on is you.
Actually, there's a tremendous amount of evidence for Jesus, both as an historical figure, and to the truthfulness of His claims to be God.
And this only shows that you don't know what the Bible says.
How can you dismiss the Bible when you don't even know what it says?
...it wasn't the childs sin though, it was Davids sin, the child was innocent.A child dying as a consequence of sin is not the same as God killing them.
uhmmm aren't they ALL innocent?Please show where in scripture we're told that God kills innocent babies.
You mean the same way your god didn't see the flood coming? Why did he create humans the way he did if he knew he was going to have to destroy them all later on?So God didn't see that coming?I don't know man, It's looking less and less likely.
tulc(does God drink coffee?)
What does that have to do with me being the real and true god? If everyone believes in the wrong thing, does that automatically make it the correct and true thing? No.Sooo you're not my God?Can you name anyone who does think you're God so I can talk to them?

Because we're not good.

Now you're changing your story. First, you said innocent. Now you're saying "small"? You do know that being small and being innocent are two different things, don't you?
Like I said, when I start a thread to deal with those things, I'll be happy to.
The only reference I can find is Daniel 8:10 and Revelation 12:4, both of which are metaphorical.
Isaiah 40:22. Notice that the word commonly translated here as "circle" is chuwg, which is a Hebrew word for sphere.
I didn't say they weren't true Christians. They are wrong, however.
You're right. Simply saying that someone is God doesn'r make them God. However, demonstrating that they're God does show that they're God.
Why? How are we to determine that the Bible is true without examining the Bible.
Just repeating "Oh yeah, that happened to me, too" isn't evidence.
You claimed that you could "justify all night" that you're God.
So far, you've given no evidence at all.
You're not God. You're just another foolish troll.
And yet, you can't give an example. The only magic in the Bible is on the part of God's enemies.
