hello

Re: hello

So, Bert, you are back again. I remember you from your last encounter with the GODLY Landover Baptist community. As I recall, you sent some pictures of a horrid place near a river that looked like Siberia and claimed to live in the town. THEN you denied that Belgium was part of France. Is this the same Bert?

Re: hello

Hi I'm Bert from Belgium
Since I haven't been here for a while I'll introduce myself.
I'm 17 years old, I live in Belgium (tiny country in Europe)
I finished a degree in maths/economics and go to university next year.

How backwards are the Belgians? In a civilised country, you go to university to get a degree, not the other way round. How many years has it been since you stopped drawing your pension?

by the way why is this very post discriminatory ? No women allowed ? I though according to you god created everyone equal.

You thought wrong. Very wrong. According to GOD, he created women from Adam's rib. That's not a good foundation for a relationship of equals.

Anyway I hope to get some (calm non-rattling) response(s).

Calm and non-rattling? You're headed on the fast-track to HELL, and being rattled right off it is your only hope!

Re: hello

I do want to believe in a god, I just can't.
You see I'm a strange kind atheist, I don't worship/believe anything (yet), because I just don't know if their is a god even listening, and even if there was how could anyone ever prove it to me.

You're fooling yourself.
WHY would you really need any proof?
If you cannot believe in God, even if you want, that only goes to prove that Satan is opressing you:
Thus giving you all the proof of God's existance you could ever want.

And there is proof everywhere actually.. and just how do you think the universe came to be?
Don't give me that "big bang" crap either, cause it requires that something can actually come from nothing without any reason whatsoever..
And anyone with the slightest bit of intelligence know that such things just doesn't happen!

I'm a bit of a scientist on that mater - accept what you can check.

Nonsense. Scientists doesn't even have proof for 1% of all their wild claims!

And quite on the contrary SalvationSeeker I wouldn't only like the idea that there could be something watching over me I would LOVE it, but I just can't accept that without any proof.

As I said above, you're fooling yourself now.

Some people ask : why would a perfect god create a universe so full of danger and peril?
well I think they have overlooked an even greater mystery : Why would a perfect god, create a universe at all?

Why would a perfect God NOT create such a universe?
Are you wise enough to know His ways, or to pass judgement?
Can you even understand your OWN way? No, and if you think so, you're fooling yourself.

You lack modesty, since you believe that God needs to prove Himself to you:
He doesn't. But you need to prove yourself to HIM.

BTW Jesus doesn't play games, friend.. I suggest you do the same.

I'm a bit of a scientist on that mater - accept what you can check. I'm open for the Idea that there might be something though and if anyone can show me 100% that they are right I might consider staring to believe, but not because somebody simply tells me it's there or some old book written a thousand years ago says so (It's like that with 99% off al religions and none of them convince me).

Re: hello

Hi, Bart. Welcome to God's favourite forum.

I am an atheist

Yes, let's discuss it.
Just WHY are you an atheist? Why don't you want to believe in God?
(Cause that's all there is to it, you simply doesn't LIKE the idea of a God)

by the way why is this very post discriminatory ? No women allowed ? I though according to you god created everyone equal.

Certainly NOT!
Where did you hear such nonsense?
You haven't read the Holy Bible much have you?
