You absolutely are arguing. There's no need to pick my post apart point by point. You're looking for a fight, and you won't get one with me. You said "good luck", but I assure you, I'm not the one who needs it.

Agreed. And a lot of people bring their mommy/daddy/church baggage here because they didn't get the answers they were looking for from those authority figures. I'm sorry they couldn't give you the answers you were looking for, but there comes a point where you're responsible for finding them on your own. And God is not going to give them to you if you approach him the same way you approach people here. You will be left in the dark until you humble yourself.

I think you mean the world will never be a peaceful place as long as the religious followers tell us what we should be doing.

You mean 2,000+ years of religion trying to set the world straight and all we see today is an epic failure after millions have been killed in the name of religion.

Thankfully our Founding Fathers were very wise about not allowing this to continue in the US.

It's your thread to discuss the Founding Fathers or whatever you'd like to discuss.

Isn't that what we've been doing with you, old mate, with your endless and repeated ploys for trying to make a case for God. Usually by cheating, as exemplified by the attempt to make us define God, when it isn't for Us to do, but the believer, accusing us of rejecting even the best evidence for a god which of course excuses you from being obliged to produce any (you may recall that we showed that a god could indeed convince atheists that it was in fact God, whereas you would never believe it - if it was the God of the wrong religion), and here you simply try a smear.

You are not doing your case much good.
The notion itself is wrong, IMO.
When someone makes a "CLAIM" then probably yes, they should have an evidence.

Believing in the existing of God is *NOT* a claim. It's a belief based on faith. And faith does not require evidence.

Kindly rethink your strategy of countering this scenario.



Also, the OP and myself did not make any CLAIM - they simply asked a question whether God exist or not?

And I did NOT tell them that "Yes God exists" - I simply asked them to do their own research and find their own answers.

Not sure how hard is it to understand how unfair of an answer I gave to OP?

Stupid answer. You have to presume there was nothing to begin with to start with your implausible, special pleading god.

Interesting how you skipped right over the most obvious fact I mentioned.

What about those 2,000+ years of religion trying to set the world straight and all we see today is an epic failure after millions have been killed in the name of religion?

Interesting you only commented on the Founding Fathers but skipped right over this glaring fact above.

What about 2,000 + years of men ignoring God's Golden Rule as per Leviticus 19:18:B.
It is Not Scripture as Jesus taught, but men ignoring what Jesus taught.
So, what has failed in Not the teachings of Jesus, but men not keeping those teachings - Matthew 26:52.
Thus, it is No wonder Jesus taught his true followers would be hated by the nations at Matthew 10:22.
Men's epic failure is why we are all invited to pray the invitation of Rev. 22:20 for Jesus to come !
Come Lord Jesus and bring ' healing ' to earth's nations as mentioned at Rev. 22:2.

I find Adam was offered ' everlasting life ' on Earth as long as he did Not break God's law.
So, for most people ' graduating ' to eternal life means: being resurrected back to life on Earth.
ALL the people Jesus resurrected he brought back to healthy physical life on Earth.
Jesus even promised that humble meek people will inherit the Earth - Matthew 5:5. - Psalm 37:9-11.

So, for the majority of people 'eternal life' means having the opportunity that was originally given to Adam before his downfall.
This is why Revelation 22:2 speaks of the return of the Genesis ' Tree of Life ' to be here on Earth for the 'healing' of earth's nations.
At that time frame even ' enemy death ' will be No more on Earth as per 1st Corinthians 15:26; Isaiah 25:8.
