bonsoir Badfish... I do not think Starboy means to judge your character, knowledge or capability. I think he is simply trying to get across to you that even if there were evidence of the Bible being the document we claim it to be and you could produce also evidence of the existence of the God of Abraham, Starboy as other atheists may not choose to worship our God. It is not all about proof and evidence... there is also a personal choice to accept a God whose actions and decisions are quite contested by many atheists.
Browse thru other threads which may deal with the particular topic I brought up.

STARBOY... I am envious about you being a few degrees lower temperature wise than we are here in Tampa.... I hope I did not try to read your mind too much to " pacify" your comments.
I have aknowledged long ago in this forum that people could disapprove of the God I believe in even if i could provide evidence of it all. Faith cannot be justified.

Hi Sabine, it’s still too warm here for my liking. Don't worry about pacifying my comments. I meant what I said. I make it a point not to bring up peoples credentials and try to concentrate on what they are trying to say. In Badfish's case, he started making assumptions about my background and knowledge so I added my two cents regarding his. I know Badfish thinks he is not preaching, but every time he posts unsubstantiated claims about god, heaven and other unknowable subjects he is preaching. He is preaching because he is passing off his supernatural claims as if they had some basis in reality. He and you are welcome to your faith but please have the good sense to realize that there is no comparison between knowing and faith. Until the religious learn this, their religion will make liars of them all.

Blond goddess it wasn't that long ago you still believed. Can you tell us how you felt about atheists, or how about anyone else who left Christianity. Did you feel threatened? It was too long ago for me to remember, and I don't even think I knew what an atheist was about.

I just thought that many of you could answer these questions quite well if you remember how you felt before you lost your faith.

maybe be a little less elitist about your point of view. it might be that you are trying to shove your beliefs down the theist's throats.

What the hell makes you think we don't hate it? I think the Christians here generally hate to see personal denigration either way, but you talk like it only ever goes in one direction. I'm sorry, but I think six atheists here collectively make more degenerating comments than all the Christians put together. I presume we are not the norm for BG however. And you apparently don't consider name calling and attacking people personally denigrating, or you wouldn't be talking.

Criminy.

Yes, those roving bands of atheist missionaries going door to door telling everyone they had better not worship god and they are not going to hell.:banghead:

Starboy

Not to mention that poor Radorth complains of abuse at the hands of atheists on an atheist board when he is probably the most abrasive Christian that posts regularly on this board.

Radorth, if you don't like it here you do not have to stay. I'm not telling you to leave, but for someone who pisses and moans so, why do you post/lurk here?

I don't "moan" about anything but gratuitous categorizing and holier-than-thou posts, and will continue to do so. You must admit the place has become downright civilized since the Salem Rad trials ended. I remember when it got so bad the servers overheated.

Love, Rad

You loved it and you know it.
You were getting lots of attention and even though it was mostly negative,any attention will do when you need it.

Love,
