Atheist & Satan
In doing some research I have come to learn that the wiccan does not believe in Satan, nor do they worship him on a conscience level.
So I'm wondering about the atheist...is all this talk about Satan just poking at all the Christians or is there more to it than that? Do you believe he exists?

Of course we don't believe satan exists. If we believed that....we would have to believe that god exists too wouldn't we. |

So I'm assuming you've never experienced anything slightly...um...paranormal? If so, what do you blame it on. Because I've talked to several atheists/ agnostics and most of them have experienced something supernatural and do not know what to blame it on. Do you think that stuff is just science-related? |

I pray for anyone who is atheist. I pray that you find it in your heart to learn the word of god and to understand that Jesus Christ died for all of us. I can't imagine going through this life on earth without faith in God and knowing that he is there for me! God Bless!

Never in my life have I experienced anything paranormal. I think that if you believe strongly enough that something exists........you will eventually believe that you've seen it. |

I have friends who are missionaries in Nicaragua. In their work, they came across a tiny primitive village in the moutains consisting of about 14 small huts and only a few people. One of the huts, on a consistent basis, fills with blood...literally. The walls become moist with blood and the floor fills for no apparent reason. The villagers don't understand it but know it is 'evil spirits' so they keep their distance since the blood disappears just as it appears. It would never occur to them not to believe in demons or spirits and they would think you were crazy if you denied what they have seen w/ their own eyes. This village has never been infiltrated by white people and they have never had or seen a bible. They have no reason to 'want' to see this thing they've been seeing for years but they worship a deity of their own making and they pray that it goes away someday.
My friends actually saw this phenomenon. I'm quite sure they didnt want to but they did. What do you make of that?

Save your breath for those that believe in prayer.

Well when you are able to prove that your man-god existed you can give me a call!

Wierd isn't it? I can't imagine going through life in the 21st century and still believing in the demented ramblings of goat hearders from 2000 years ago.
By the way, your statement "I can't imagine going through this life on earth without faith in God and knowing that he is there for me" is a contradiction. If you have "faith" you dont "know". |

Actulally, pladecalvo...faith is defined as 'assured expectation' of things hoped for so you do know. You really do. If you don't, then it's not faith...it's hope. |

Not in my dictionary! It's defined as trust, belief without proof. |

I like Alice's dictionary better. Sounds like you need to get to Barnes & Noble.  |
