Rejecting God

Isn't "flesh-eating dogs" a redundancy? They could be weiner-dogs.

true, or it could just be a turkey sandwich vs. a bologna sandwich...just as clear a choice [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Door B: Slide leading to an infinite pool of broken glass and razorblades

Feel free to choose wisely!

If He wanted to give us freedom, why didn't He just say "I'm the only choice, it's me or unending blackness"? Hell didn't need to be a horrible place full of torturing fire. It just helped.

The irony - some don't choose door A.

Flaming Hot Thread Award

I'd like to thank evereyone who made this thread(my first)the best it could be...this award goes to you!! especially to my Dell computer...specifically the Dell customer support team comprised of Indians that know much more about computers than me, but will never let the people they talk to know it because they can't understand a word they say.

And I'd like to thank Mike Caro for grossly overstating the average profit from tells...the prospect of making more money than Michael Jordan by spotting each time an opponent looks at his chips is what turned me to the poker lifestyle

--lastly I'd like to thank David Sklansky...that story in TOP about that guy who lost with a royal flush because he didn't declare openers gave me quite a chuckle.

(by the way if you cry while you read this it will add to the effect)

Just to clarify things from a few posts back, for the sake of the discussion:

1) The Bible can be taken to be completely the True Word of God.
2) The Bible can be taken to be completely the True Word of God, but not always interpreted correctly.
3) The Bible can be taken to be the imperfect transcription by man of what God intended as His True Word.
4) The Bible can be taken to be the imperfect transcription by man of what God intended as His True Word,, and compiled with that it might not always be interpreted correctly. (This one too but that we still get it right in spite of the errors in transcription).

Or of course, take bits and pieces or not taken at all.

[David Sklansky]

"He supplies ample evidence of His existence and nature."

If by "His" you mean the Christian God, the fact remains that far more than half of those who have studied the subject almost as much as you, and can beat you on any generally accepted intelligence test, do not agree with your above statement. Given that, the only explanation is some sort of psychological blindness or problem on their part. But why should they be more likely to have that problem than you?

[David Sklansky]

"Israel spent 40 years in the wilderness where they saw miracles virtually every day but many still turned to idols."

That would be a slam dunk argument that people are bad at evaluating evidence. Except for one little thing.

Frankly, I'm surprised you stuck with it this long.

I don't like to give up until they do because until then there's always hope. Also, I learn much myself if a civil dialogue is maintained.
