It was then I realized the gross inaccuracies, contradictions, and what is now deemed as immorality spread throughout it's pages.
My challenge is this: prove the existence of your god to me. Feel free to use any logical, philosophical, or scientific evidence in your defense.

So,
You are here trying to dictate us your rules, trying to get us play your silly game. Trying to force Faith and subsequently God to follow the instructions that you feel will help you win this game.
You know, it is not a game of wit, of logic, nor a game of better proof, scientific or philosophical. It's an unnecessary game. A person determined of her disbelief will remain in that state of mind unless touched by Jesus or an inner craving for something better. That is something you have to seek by yourself. You may have the craving, as you are here, as stated by Brother Alvin.
But, you see, it is not a game with winners or losers in a debate. It is not a game at all. God does not have to play games of proof or logic. He creates worldly logic but He is free from it. He is outside the scope of silly proofs. We do not need your game and you think you don't need God on Earth. Your biased mind can easily find contradictions anywhere. You've chosen to look for them. You could choose again. Choose Jesus.
1 Peter 1:2
Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
That has very little to do with proof or logic but everything to do with the Fate of Man, with infinity and Eternity. Choose!
Yours in Christ,
Elmer
