If the nonexistence of God was not a reality, why would the question of God's existence be such a burning topic for theists; why would they need to fly to faith?

Indeed why would there be any question about anything except for issues where both sides are completely right? *head explodes*

So, will you take "the challenge":

Because belief in the existence of gods and the supernatural pervasively do exist.

Therein lies the problem. Not the actual [non]existence of the supernatural. But the chronic belief in same that humans are so susceptible to, and that they thusly base real decisions of real life or death importance upon.

Scientology, Heaven's Gate, and the Raelians all base their dogma on the belief that extra-terrestrial beings have visited us. It doesn't take long for specific irrational beliefs to generalize into religions does it?

It may be true, creation does point to a creator. Unfortunately, this leaves three possibilities you have yet to consider:
1) "God" as defined in the Bible is not the creator, but is in fact a single self-absorbed upstart who believes he is all there is in the universe and goes to great lengths to supress dissent and questioning.
2) God is a malevolent sadist who created the Earth for his own pleasure, but due to his own greed and insecurities, riddles his creations with hardships and disasters in order to keep them small, arfraid and divided lest they rise up and overthrow him.
3) "God," as defined by the Bible is not the creator, because the Quran is actually the word of God and you will burn in the lowest hell for idolatry. :thumbs:

Because we can't stand the Satanists around us proclaiming their Lord as God. :devil2: :devil2:


Yes, or there will be no one left to do the dirty work. :funny: :funny:


Come on, go find a job and get a life instead. :snooze:

And thank you for wasting your time. :rolling: :rolling:

Hello friends again!
What do you think:

May be people reject God and Christ because deeply in the heart they do not want to be accountable to Him? Especially for the wickedness they have done?
Let us think together! :wave:

Because there are people who believe God exists, and people who don't. Don't you think there'd be a lot of debate if there were people who actually thought leprechauns existed (especially if the country you lived in was swarming with them)?

Answerer

Yup, I'm back again




Oh, its perfectly ok to reject the Dark God, Satan, and his son of Darkness. Only the foolish ones will sell them their souls. :devil3: :devil3:

Especially for the wickedness they have done?

Yeah, especially for the evil that the Dark God had and has done.

Obviously, you need to get out of the chains first. :wave: :wave:

Two can play at this game! (I've underlined the subtle ad hominem in your post)

Maybe people create God-beliefs because they don't want to have any responsibility for their own lives? Especially those who are too lazy to think for themselves?
