"Religion is a good income, probably the only reason why it still exists."
I am talking about the religion.
"* A smart person would have known that you cannot make a plural out of that. But then again, we cannot expect too much from an atheist (Psalm 14:1), can we? "
@Basilissa Even the smartest man in the world can make a typo.
Also
"That's cute, sweetie, but wait until you feel the heat of Hell approaching when you die... it will be too late for you to convert then, you know.
I will pray for you. "
I'll be dead, so why should I care? My brain won't be functional anymore, you could throw me in the hottest pit of fire possible and I wouldn't feel anything.
The sole and only proof we have that God probably "exist" is, in fact, the Bible (which is not enough to prove anything)... Right? What else do we have after that? Church? Do you really base your beliefs on a building and a book?
Now i don't want to see anything like "Oh, you know, there's the galaxy, the earth, vegetations, elements, life" THOSE ARE NOT THE PROOF THAT A "GOD" EXIST.
How can you even believe in something that you have never seen?! It doesn't make any sense at all!
What makes Christians stupid is totally the fact that they believe in something inexistent.
People believing in God, Jesus, and all that mess are people who just want to believe in something.
Religion is a good income, probably the only reason why it still exists.
While officially I am offended, of course, off the record, I am impressed by the improvement of your writing here.
There are sentences and statements and points of view expressed without slinging a single invective. Well done!
What would really be impressive is if you were to present an actual verse from the Bible, then discuss its merits. Believe it or not, there are many people who don't accept the Bible as the revealed Word of God who are nevertheless familiar with its contents.
His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.
I despise everything related to God, I spit on the bible.
I had a bible and I threw it in a bonfire while I was camping with my father. I did not see the use of it except feeding the fire. There is no merits in the bible, only lies, and nonsense.
There is no merits in the bible, only lies, and nonsense.
Are you ready to defend that claim with actual evidence (Bible verses which according to you would prove that Bible is only "lies and nonsense" without merits), or are we supposed to have faith that your words are true with no evidence whatsoever?
(I sincerely hope that argument sounds familiar. If it doesn't, back up a little and re-read again what you posted about galaxy and stuff).
Here's my evidence: There is no evidence of god's existence.
Sweetie, you really should try using logic sometime. It's very helpful when trying to discuss any subject.
Here's the executive summary of the discussion so far:
Us:
God exists.
You:
He doesn't because there is no evidence.
Us:
The Bible is our evidence - it tells us that God exists.
You:
The Bible is all lies and nonsense without merits.
Us:
What is your evidence for that?
You:
Back to square one, claiming that there is no evidence for God's existence and just completely ignoring our Bible-based evidence argument.
I'm sorry, sweetie, but the burden of proof is on you, not on us. You're the one spreading wild rumors without any supporting evidence. So, let me ask you again to prove that the Bible is all lies and nonsense. In the meantime, I will keep praying for you.
Wow, Christians really are stubborn and stupid. I am actually losing brain cells when i read what you are all saying, it must be why i only have one left.

Sweetie, you really should try to discover how logic works sometime.
In the meantime, let me inform you that ad hominem attacks are not viable arguments. You failed to prove that Bible is all lies and nonsense, and therefore you failed to prove that there is no evidence for God's existence.
Ok, if i read a Harry Potter book, should i start to believe in Magic, and Harry Potter himself?
As far as I know, nobody claims the Harry Potter books to be the Word of God. On the other hand, there are millions of people who believe that the Bible is the Word of God.
The bible is a fairy tale, nothing more.
Prove it.
Hint: you can start by actually reading it. Have you heard this expression, "don't judge a book by its cover?" Exactly. Read the Bible, and then we can have an intelligent discussion about its contents and whether these contents are trustworthy or not.

The people who read Harry Potter don't make up a huge voting block in this country.
The people who read and believe that the Bible is God's Holy Word do vote, and in large numbers. They put people in office who believe as they do. Those people have control over policies and budgets. Those policies and budgets effect your life.
Budget cuts to libraries can limit access to Harry Potter books. Policy changes can give power to people who can remove Harry Potter books, (and others) from school reading lists and replace those banned titles with materials that serve their agenda.
Someday you may be forced to read the Bible. You may be required to follow its directives in your everyday life or face legal action.
Before that happens, you might want to be better informed on what is actually written in the Bible so that you can understand what sort of world it can be used to create.
Here at Landover Baptist, we know the difference between a progressive Christian and a dominionist Christian. Hint: The dominionists are the ones writing the script for your future.
Also, as someone once said, you can't hate God and not believe He exists. Is it possible that you really just hate your father right now and will someday come to embrace all his values and viewpoints?
That may sound insulting to you, but as far as I can determine, you don't know what's in the Bible, so you can't logically hate it. Presumably, you do know your dad. Therefore, throwing a Bible in the fire in front of him is an act of defiance against him, not a God whose character you have not examined.
By the way, if the dominionists extend their reach as far as they hope, burning a Bible could get you some jail time. It's already possible to put a minor in a special facility for being gay; blasphemy boarding school may be next.*
* Like a Drug Czar is a government official trying to crack down on drugs, blasphemy boarding school will be against sacrilege. But it does sound like it's the otherway around, doesn't it?
His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.
I hope you know that the Harry Potter part was only a metaphor, right?
Also, i know most of the part of the bible since i went to a Christian summer camp when i was younger, so i had to read that fairy tale each day for a whole hour.
also, when i told you that i threw the bible in a bonfire when i was doing camping with my father, it's mainly because i had a big pile of school books, magazines and etc. which i didn't need anymore, so i just threw them in the bonfire.
