jes7:I'm following your logic here.....you implied that if we can't see who gave birth to Bill gates "does that mean he doesn't exist"... ofwhich I replied, we can see Bill gates, can we see "god"? |

Nicklaus:Explain to me the bolded and where I ever implied such... And you've established that you're ready to resort to insults to deviate scrutiny of your mythology.. Can everyone here see a perfect example of a theist willing to do just about anything(including lying) just to spread the belief? |

I think everyone have seen that christians(atleast the gnostic ones) are willing to lie to defend their faith... 2 Likes |

Misogynist2014:Powerful? No,just basic questions....but since you think you're up to the task...I'll ask one. How do you know "god" is good and "satan" is bad?(note that "know" is bolded, meaning tell us how such knowledge was derived and is it demonstrable?) 2 Likes |

Misogynist2014:Skip the ad hominem...since you've said people have the knowledge of good and evil....then aren't you implying morality is subjective? ![]() Plus that verse expressed food(i.e eating and drinking)as to accept the food you're given as wage for your hire....I guess food is equal to real money to you....can you see that you've just had to clip that part out to make it fit with the discussion? ![]() 1 Like |

davien:You asked me if there is difference between Good and Bad, i.e how we know God is good and Satan is evil, then I said its made known by our conscience, even the effects of such actions on us whether it inflicts pain or happiness. |

Misogynist2014: here is his question davien: He asked how you know "god" is good and "satan" is bad and how you derived it and how demonstrable it is, not the difference between good and bad... I think you need to try answering that question again.. e.g ask me how do i know osama is bad and bill gates is good ; i will simple say cus osama hurts people and kill them while bill gates is active in charitable works... their deeds.. dont know where you got this idea of conscience to know god and satan which is good or bad.. 2 Likes |
