I am sorry to say , but  quoting big grammar in a bid to sound on a different level intellectually is the precise reason why you may never be able to see the light !

What big grammar was quoted?

frosbel:

God is looking for people who possess the virtue of humility , people who understand with careful reasoning that this World could not have appeared out of nothing without some divine intervention.

Humility precludes my recommending yours truly as being humble but hey, God should know.

frosbel:

If it suits you to carry on with this folly then carry on , but remember only a fool will gamble with that which he cannot never recover from.

Well, tell that to a "fool" like say Sir Edmund Hillary among other "fools" who gambled with what they may not have recovered from.

frosbel:

In essence what shall a man be profited if he were to gain the whole world, its fame and acceptance, grandeur and wealth , but at the very end of a most miserable life lose his soul for an eternity of suffering.

Truly sad to say the least.

He would have profited the whole world, fame, acceptance, grandeur, wealth and lost nothing unless of course you can demonstrate this soul.

Then for the love of your creator please show how it is relevant. If I can't see the relevance, why should I bother to answer?

precisely.

bam! The most unfortunate thing is that more often than not, when they are challenged on their own claims they either get abusive or vanish.

Asked and answered. See below.

thehomer:
I already asked you what logic has to do with your creator. Consider it this way. If I rephrased it as:
What is Mathematics?
Whose Mathematics is right?
How do you determine who's Mathematics is right?
How did you prove the existence of Mathematics?

Now, what would be the relevance of such questions to your creator? I simply do not see the connection. This is why I've asked you several times to point out the connection.
When people are having a discussion, I don't think that it means that anything that can be phrased as a question automatically become relevant to the discussion. So simply show me the relevance so I can understand what you actually wish to know.

And here, you finally show your inability to understand or show the relevance of your own question to the topic being discussed. Its getting embarrassing trying to have a discussion with someone who is unable to understand himself.
Good bye. Don't let the door hit you.

so your answering my question with another question so i'll just have to assume that you don't know anything about gods origin.

Besides I prefer to read rather than post and this topic that am typing in is about gods origin not about the origin of the universe

no you'll just have to realise we're tired of reading the same recycled question all the time. Atheists "prefered to read" when they cant handle the questions then suddenly develop an urge to post when its time to appear "smart" with the questions designed primarily to mock than gain knowledge.

Assuming God's origin cannot be proven therefore He does not exist. Can we also conclude that the universe and life does not exist because their origins cannot be proven?
Re: . by lagerwhenindoubt(m): 7:04am On Aug 29, 2011
Is this thread still alive. I asked a far less controversial question and all I keep getting are recycled questions. Nobody wants to admit that some things are still a mystery. If a stranger comes to town and u r at a loss as to his origin, the next question would be why is he here? What is the creator's purpose? Let us assume no one knows the creator's origin. Per chance he exists. To what purpose?
Please an answer or a simple I do not kno the answer is acceptable.

When you answer a question with another question you imply it is within your purview to know. A thread this long is a waste of precious storage space with little value if we leave here no better than we started (just like hundreds of similar threads)

The question is whether you know what God's origin is. If you don't know, you're free to say so.

Another question to hammer these God believers with. You will notice that while they are unable to give answers, they are also unwilling to show their ignorance which is a double tragedy.

So obviously your point isnt really to debate logically but merely to "hammer god believers". Such a disgrace. Little wonder every question directed at you is greeted with the "hey thats irrelevant" BS.

lagerwhenindoubt, as a computer program, would like to find out why the programmer exists. I suppose it must include the ability to write programs no?

This is the most logical answer? Wow.
You're asked what is the origin of the creator? You claim the answer lies in the origin of time? This is a roundabout way of making us wonder the relevance of what you're saying because time as we know it has a physical basis and it proceeded with the expansion of the universe. So, what does this creator have to do with it? Does this creator also have a physical basis?
Do you know the origin of this creator? Was he also spawned from the expansion of the universe? You could answer with a yes, no or don't know.

Don't you know that debating or discussing logically and rationally with God believers on issues concerning their God basically hammers them into a corner with that deer in the headlights look or behaviour? You should because they do it a lot.
Again, when I point out that a question is irrelevant, you then need to show that it is relevant.

Yes. A programmer can be programmed by his programmer who is above him/her/they/it.
