If god knows the past and the future, then doesn't that put an end to the free will question? Either there is a determined future that he knows, or within free will there is somehow an indeterminate future which he doesn't know, meaning that he's not omniscient and that he didn't create...

Re: Do you believe is God? I like this one lol.

Atheists dropping truth bombs. Christians rationalising for an imaginary god.

So "nothing will be impossible for you" ... except growing a limb, because we can potentially rationalise a situation where it's better for an amputee to live without a limb than to grow a new one and only god understands why?

God is supposed to answer people when they pray, why can't he seem to do anything that doesn't happen anyway? And just like santa I would say that if I don't see him then he doesn't exist. Matthew 17:20 "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from...

You have no reason to believe "there is no santa". You best be starting on that Christmas list to leave out when he stops by.

Faith: The license people give each other to believe something they have no reason to believe :rolleyes2:

1. I create a robot. The robot is programmed to go in a room and pick a red box. It goes in the room and picks the green box, so I put it inside an incinerator for eternity. Wouldn't it make more sense to go back to the robot design and figure out where I screwed up in designing it to pick a red...

Costs about $20k a year to keep someone in prison, about $5 for the lethal injection compound. It doesn't kill innocent people, if they were innocent they would be set free through the appeal process. It is a deterrent, the fear of death is the ultimate deterrent, you end someone else's...

Why do you have to be an idiot to support it?

Thanks for the link, although I feel like the subject matter is still tending towards the question: is the idea of god relevant in the debate on gay marriage. I'll avoid any "question of his existence" tangent as well as I can lol :)

#1 If we looked at it from a fatalist point of view, the universe has an ultimate and inescapable future based on prior events. No effect is without cause. If no effect is without cause, and a being knew everything, he would know the past, the present and the future. He knew you and I would be...

Well I wouldn't punish them for 3 reasons. 1. I created everything, set it all in motion. Whether you think god just banged the big bang and walked away or he interferes in reality, you can't escape the fact that if he exists then he already knows everything that happens and will happen before...

Scientology says the universe was created 15 trillion years ago by the emperor Xenu. OT says the universe was created around 6-10000 years ago by Yahweh. Science says the universe originated 14.75 billion years ago and for now there's no present reason to think anyone created it. I'm pretty...

If I were omnipotent and omniscient and I created everything, I think it might be simple enough to comprehend that intelligent people won't take a mouldy iron age book at face value. After all I created them, right? Why would god create humans who do something he doesn't like, then punish them...

We can't DISPROVE the bible, all we can hope to do is come up with rational explanations for why people seemed to believe this stuff. But since the bible doesn't offer any concrete evidence that its stories are actually true (at least not more than any other holy book) and since it makes...

"Hello, my name is Jesus. I love you deeply. I have loved you since you were conceived in the womb and I will love you for all eternity. I died for you on the cross because I love you so much. I long to have a loving personal relationship with you. I will answer all of your prayers through my...

I don't care whether any of his quotes are relevant, the jesus gospels are fabricated stories based on the movement of the sun and the stars just like the stories of Horus, Mithra and Krishna, also most of what Jesus said had been said centuries before by other teachers. If you'd like to open...
