I really sincerely tried what you recommended, praying to God to show me his presence. All I got was a twinge in the back of my mind. It kept saying, "God will reveal himself to you through the act of Robinson sending you $100,000." Was this a message from God?

So are you saying that's NOT what happens?

thats the way your God designed you so He is the one to blame for your imperfections.

atheists,however know differently,we may not be perfect but we have the ability to create Heaven on Earth for all,if we use logic and some common sense.

religion stops the thinking mind.

Oh yes it is!!

'Atheists may not be perfect'. Interesting statement.

If there is no God, just who defines perfection?

Depending on your knowledge, yes.

Hi Malookiemaloo would you mind elaborating on that little point there "depending on your knowledge"???

Do you happen to have any knowledge of either of the things Wyz_sub10 mentioned?

I'll do my best.

Something can be irrational but with knowledge can become rational then true. (Or the reverse can operate also.)

500 years ago it would be irrational to say that man could go to Mars. (In fact you could get the jail for saying the earth was round!). However it is now perfectly rational to say that man could land on Mars. But it is not true that man can land on Mars.But irrationality has moved to rationality because of increased knowledge.


The more we know, the more we can gain understanding. This applies to the Christian as well as the non-theist.

Yes, Christians have a faith but knowledge etc is not in any way inferior. 'Love the Lord you God with you heart and MIND'. Think of the times Jesus TAUGHT people. Why? Because knowledge and understanding are not exclusive to faith but complimentary-indeed necessary.

Sorry, this is not meant to be a religious rant but knowledge and understanding is not the prerogative of non-theists.
