And if God gloriously came and revealed himself with miracles, signs and wonders to you, but it turned out he was NOT your Biblical god (which is the likely case in fact), you and your brainwashed brethren would likely conclude he was a false god or an act of Satan.

Well, there is one coming that will be claiming he is God and will be deceiving many with signs and miracles. But Christ is going to come back and cut him off. So, yes, we brainwashed ones will conclude he was a false God and an act of Satan.

By the way, everyone should get brainwashed because as dirty as our brains get they need a good washing every now and then.

Indeed it is the point of it all.

God created the universe then created every being in that universe for them to experience what true love is all about, for them to learn the knowledge of good and evil. The universe was not created just for there to be a universe.

So, to discuss the concept of a creator, we must include the word "God" in it.

You really do not think this stuff through do you?

With all the dire warnings of an imaginary a/c, why pray would atheists follow or bow down to him? If anyone is gonna do miracles, we sceptics are going to be the least of the populace that will buy into it. We do not believe in magic, satan, godz or any phenomenon. IF this were remotely true, it would be the woos that will fall for this. Just look at your last great hero, Todd Bentley. Were there any atheists in attendance of that "great profit of teh lawd"? Nope, just woos.

All your deer leeders heralded him as the real Mac Coy till he did the dirty with his secretary then they threw him under the bus. How embarrassing for folk said to have the hs guidance to be duped by one of their own?

We atheists will just be drinking beer and eating popcorn watching you lot scramble for any remote chance or evidence of your imaginary friend; we know there is no god and no possible rise of an a/c or return of any christ, we do not look for signs and wonders, it is you lot that do.

The concept that we atheists will be duped into being conscripted to deny you lot your imaginary friends by joining some satantic army is laughable. We would never deny you your imaginary friends as that would mean our stand up comics would have to write their own material, we have to have something to laugh at and really you cannot make this stuff up.

There is a difference between the sort of brainwashing that is a flood sluicing out the Augean stables and a deluge washing all the books out of a science library. Leaving a bunch of nuts all competing to refill the shelves with their own favourite cult -books.

Depends whether one thinks science or Myth is refuse.

I never said atheists would follow or bow down to him.

I don't know who Todd Bentley is. Never heard of him. The religious leaders you speak of are not mine. I'm not into those kind of "church" things.

Wow, your faith is strong!

You wrote: "It is you lot . . . ." You mean ". . . your lot . . . ."?

So you know there is no God. Yet you can't empirically prove there is no God. O . . . . . K . . . . . You sure pursuaded me!

Is your 'R' key stuck? You wrote: ". . . to deny you lot your imaginary friends" is not understandable. What language is that?

Man, are you drunk?

Personally I love science. But since people coming from a fish which grew legs and arms and turned into a chimp which turned into a humanoid, well, that isn't reallly science. It is incredulous.

My proof is that theists have never been unable to provide one shred of evidence. Your god however is real. He resides between your ears in a thing called your brain.

I don't drink any more insults?

BTW you are the last person on this forum to point to grammar or spelling, yours really sucks, but when the grandma polease come out then we know the opponent as usual has squat.

I don't know what you mean by "grandma." I am neither a grandma nor a grandpa; a man, yes.

Todd Bentley is not one of my ilk.

A billion years is a long, long, long time. A lot of incredulous things can, do, and will happen over that kind of time.
