There is plenty of evidence out there for Mermaids too - if you are willing to accept it.

Yes. That's another thing isn't is. These boards are full of so called Christians telling us what 'God' likes and doesn't like, what he does and doesn't do, what he thinks, what he wishes, why he does or doesn't do things; yet trap them in a corner and they will begin to cough and splutter and scream 'We can't know God, we can't understand him, his ways are far beyond our comprehension...', that's after spending the past hour telling us about the 'personal relationship' they have with their god. None of them can explain just how the heck one can have a 'personal relationship' with someone one knows nothing about.

Do you think that your god could have made a better effort in the construction - considering he's supposed to be omnimax - and thus save a world of suffering and misery?

Yes there is. Tell you what, why don't you get together with your mate Vizio and earnestly pray to your Jesus to end poverty and want world-wide by tomorrow morning? See...then, you would have a scoop because, if it happens, you would not only have proven that there is a god and that he answers prayers but, best of all for you I bet...you would have millions of atheists around the world falling to their knees in acknowledgement that they were wrong.

Oh wait! I forgot! All over the world people pray for those things every day don't they and people much nearer to your god than either of you two will ever be....but nothing happens does it...and we know why.

An a god that was not evil wouldn't have his own son tortured. A god that was not evil would not stand idly by whilst millions starve. Besides, you have yet to show that any such thing happened other than in the pages of a book that has been proven to be largely fable, fiction and fraud.

Pfffttt! Thousands of men suffered far worse for YEARS in Japanese prison camps during WWII. Besides, you have yet to show that any such thing happened other than in the pages of a book that has been proven to be largely fable, fiction and fraud.

What would you do Viz?
Vizio and Jeff would probably see JtC as a leftie, liberal, socialist and throw stones through his windows.

Every supernatural experience is the work of the Giant Space Crabs.

Do you have verifiable evidence that Christ actually existed? Any at all? I've never seen any.

Can we find this angel video on youtube.com? I'd like to see this video.

No, it is akin to a mechanic building a car, the owner goes out and wrecks and it and then blames the car maker for not making the car unwreckable.

In other words, you set up a world where God gets all the blame and man has zero accountability for his actions. We brought the rot into this world. We create the rot and misery here. God has to clean up the mess.

If he knew it would fail 100% of the time then he shouldn't make it. To equate that with God though is to say nothing has ever good came out of mankind. That's not true. There are many who have followed the path of righteous and done great things for God. You don't burn down the bun factory because you get a bad batches in the daily run, now do you? You discard the bad ones. God will do that one day to those like yourself who defiantly reject him. You reap what you sow.

Tell me, how did these uneducated men gain so much knowledge and detail about the intersecting cultures in the Biblical accounts? Ex. Joseph and the Egyptian High court, Babylonian culture, Romans society. Proverbs alone is a book of great wisdom amazingly applicable even today. All you show here is either ignorance about the Bible or great disdain for the greatest book in human history.

Well that's hypocritical since you equate God to the level of mankind and act like He should play by the same rules as the creation.

Objective Morality comes from the Giant Space Crabs, not the Christian God. The Giant Space Crabs said so.

No, it's akin to the mechanic deliberately making a car that could do no other than be wrecked. A car that was designed to be wrecked.

Well yes...that's about it. The person you blame is the guy that DELIBERATELY made the faulty product, not the guy that bought it.

No, your god brought the rot. People cannot create things. The rot was there, designed and supplied by your god.

Yes Jeff that's spot on pal. Now take your analogy of the buns and apply it to people before your god decided to murder everyone on Earth bar eight. If your creation turn out wrong, you don't kill every one of them in a flood, including day old babies and animals...you just get rid of the bad 'buns'. Glad you're seeing it our way at last.

Sorry to disappoint you old beast but I'm not frightened by silly superstitious nonsense.

Do you think that people didn't travel then?

I don't, you do. You draw analogies of your god being a parent and equating it with human parents. You can't do that. It's not the same thing. Human parents are not omnimax.

So all mankind is faulty and bad? Everything God created was originally perfect, working together like a well oiled machine. Sinful man most certainly can create. We create chaos. We create war. We even mess up the environment with climate change. We wreck ecosystems with our oil spills. We destroy rain forests. etc... Man is to blame, not God.

If every batch is bad then yes, the factory needs to go away and that's what happened in this isolated event. God saw that every thought in every human's heart was wicked. It was hopeless. Good does not come out of evil. Each generation only gets worse.

Then you lose the right to EVER demand evidence from me. You have already written it off.

You claim they were uneducated without a single shred of proof to back it up. Typical.

And God is not human. He is the creator of life. He has ever right to take it away and that is not immoral or evil. It is if we try to do it ourselves.
