You know you guys have bored me. I don't see why it is so hard for you to believe that God has come down here to save us so we can live with him for ever. You want facts and unquestionable evidence the sad thing when you receive that proof it will be too late for you. Jesus said believe and you will be saved not hard thing to do when you use just some simple horse sense God = perfection you = imperfection it is like putting a round peg square hole. Something has to give Jesus did it all for us by coming down here and taking our sins and being the missing formula so we can live with God after our life on this earth is finished.

Some of us have tried your religion and found it wanting.

You can't prove it. That's why we don't believe. You claim that your beliefs are true yet you fail to provide proof that substantiates your claim. Why do you not believe in the millions of other unsubstantiated claims that people make? If you want to know why atheists/agnostics don't accept the truth of your god belief, all you have to do is look at why you don't believe in the many other claims you find to be unsubstantive. Interestingly, most atheists would be bored by you. Satisfactory claims are substantiated by empirically verified evidence. So far you have not given such evidence.

If you think it's so easy for us to believe then I beg upon you to take 24 hours of your life and just not believe. Can you do that? Can you throw what you feel is truth out the window for just 24 hours?

If you can't, than why do you think it should be so simple for us to throw out our stances on religion for an entire lifetime?

THAT is an excellent point! I've never thought of it that way.

So many threads asking: "Well what if someone have never heard the name of Jesus Christ before... What happens to them"?

But I ASK YOU..".You've HEARD, What's your excuse"?
I've heard of your so-called Savior and Messiah, even heard of your sacred book, I just don't believe in them.

Not religion my friend that is what is wrong with America too much. Christianity is a relationship between God and man. Religion is trying to do something for God
God doesn't need any of us, he wants us to know what he has done for us.

if you have tried religion please tell me what happened to change it? I bet it was religious beliefs and people that told you this what the Christian life is all about.

Okay let's say I did go 24 hours and threw away everything about God. Please tell me you intelligent unbelievers what the hell is life all about and what the hell is the point of life? You live for about okay lets give you 80 years. You start figuring life out at about 30 you have a good 20 years with no pain or disease. You buy a house and slave to pay for it if you are real lucky you keep the same spouse so you don't have to start all over again. You work your whole life for your house and children and to have this glorious retirement. Then when they get older and need care they take your money ship you off to a nursing home never to see you again. You are full of aches and pains the pharmaceutical companies love you thou and then you die. What is the freaken point you have nothing to live for!!!!!
Unless you have came up with mortality and perfect environment.
