There is no insult in what justlove91 said.
The motherfvcker is jealous, quick to anger and ready to cause a devastating and lasting pain to his minions.
I wonder what he is jealous of anyways if he is all powerful.
This ur God who u claim is perfect, has regretted 60% of his decisions and instead of taking blame, he just cause destruction to feel good
Can an omniscient god regret his actions? grin

That is the problem with people like you it's as if you locked yourself up in a room expecting everyone passing to see you.

Who told you that the only investigation is just the Bible?

I'm sure by the time you and i start the proper investigation you have just two options:

[1] If you are honest hearted and sincere you'll become one of Jesus' real disciples and start thinking of how to help as many people as you can.

[2] If you're biased and insincere you will hate me with passion and start trailing me all around the forum to get back at me for making you feel so empty with ATHEISM.

This i am telling you beating my chest with full confidence! smiley
Do you have any proof of your god? If not, kindly shut your trap

Are you still provoked because we are having a discussion?
Please try to be calm and liberal at least since you have your own mind and sure that what is written in that book has no hold on you so try to be cool.

OK what exactly do you think we can use as an evidence to prove the existence of an invisible force? smiley
Since he's invisible, then how do you know he exists?

Are you concluding on what this man said or you will like to make your own investigation? smiley
You concluded the bible is legit and even quote the bible written by unknown authors without investigations, but you have a problem when an atheist quotes an atheistic authority.
Arent you a premium hypocrite?

Richard Dawkins, River Out of Eden: A Darwinian View of Life (1995)



"In a universe of blind physical forces and genetic replication, some people are going to get hurt, other people are going to get lucky, and you won't find any rhyme or reason in it, nor any justice. The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil and no good, nothing but pitiless indifference."


Do you agree with Dawkins on this?
Do you accept your existence has no meaning, no difference, no purpose and no design?
Where did he say man's existence has no meaning, mad man

Where we stopped is QUALITIES a real God should possess before we can think of serving him/her/it do you still want to continue with the investigation? smiley

I'm tired of the questions.
To be frank with u, I am Atheist, I really do not believe or care about the qualities of God tbh.
The only thing I could afford to discuss is someone telling me God exists, as for what I think a God should be... Omo I do not care

Asking theist's to make their point without asking obtuse leading questions and making use of analogies that don't follow, is like compelling 2 to be an odd number, Virtually impossible. They'd be like deers in front of a headlight moping instead of moving.

I really appreciate your honesty.

That's why i always quote that verse whenever i come in contact with anyone who claims he is an atheist because i'm 100% certain that most people don't really do a thorough investigation they just summed up after hearing some things from different sects claiming Christians and base their conclusion on what those people say.

The Bible God is the one and only true God but since you don't want to investigate further let me tell you how i come to that conclusion.

All humans were born atheists as in we don't know nor believe in any God at birth that's why the Bible said the child in his mother's womb is also a sinner {Psalms 51:5} so it's after we begin to grow up that each person starts to make his or her INVESTIGATIONS on:
• How did life begin?
• Why do innocent people suffer?
• Did God really care about us?
• If He does what is He doing to solve our problems?
• If everyone wants peace why wars everywhere?
• What is God's viewpoint of wars?

Whoever hasn't made INVESTIGATIONS on this topics is just deceiving himself!

Did you read this part of the article?

"He’s Christian and has a great relationship with God ... He was always pretty calm towards other people,” added the unnamed friend.

What does it say?
So how does it make him a christian terrorist if not the newspaper and your poor attempt to stereotype. Did he confess he killed in the name of christ like extremist muslims do in the name of Allah? Why didn't you call him a grieving terrorist since the report also pointed out he was grieving.

Your aggression makes you unfit for honest discussions. undecided

This is how i started engaging richmond:
richmond500:

Atheist are not bad people, they are just different in thinking.

From his comment i see the sincerity so i decide to take him up even though he said a lot of irritating things but i kept on being friendly with him because i have seen something different in him.

So try to do your INVESTIGATIONS it's wrong always accusing people when you don't even know what really happened. It's richmond who first mentioned me and not the other way around! smiley
