If our story repeats Noah's, then what we can expect is a disaster so great it has mankind contemplating what we had and measure how much we had appreciated it (i.e., not nearly enough) and also how much we appreciated those we lost (we failed).In the fable of Noah, it was the Christian god who held the sentiment that mankind was too corrupt to continue. If, as you claim, people are today as they were thousands of years ago, should we expect another planet wiping tirade from that god?
Every knee...My knees won;t bend unless they are forced to bend
They just want to piss on you.No. I came up with it myself after watching atheists who can't just let people believe what they want to believe. What does such an atheist gain by being evangelical about it anyway? We know why Christians do it, they want as many as possible to know God, but there's no incentive for an atheist to do it.
You know scripture..Every knee...
You are free to believe anything you wish; that angels dance on the heads of pins, that dead people come back to life, that snakes talk, whatever. Just don't confuse "belief" with an extent reality where supernaturalism doesn't exist.
Why would I be wiser to believe that the planet is 6 000 years old, that humans lived to be 900 years old, etc.?
While you attach an entire worldview to what is written in a book you attached "holy" to a book is simply that, a book. Until there is a way to connect a supernatural being with the authorship of a book, it's safe to assume that the book is, in fact, merely written by men. That is precisely what we have with the.Bible. A book written during a superstitious age when people did believe falling off the edge of the planet was a literal danger. Believe in magical gardens, a flood that never happened, angry gods that wipe humanity from the planet, whatever you wish but don't presume that I am under any obligation to cower in fear and superstition before any human invention of god.
You however, are under no obligation to accept anything. You would be wiser, but under no obligation to accept the gift of the cross
I would reiterate that the Noah fable is exactly that, a fable, so a repeat is not going to happen.If our story repeats Noah's, then what we can expect is a disaster so great it has mankind contemplating what we had and measure how much we had appreciated it (i.e., not nearly enough) and also how much we appreciated those we lost (we failed).
Atheists got Christians beat by the murders they committed in world historyI would reiterate that the Noah fable is exactly that, a fable, so a repeat is not going to happen.
You seem to have a very negative view of humanity, as though you hope for the worst so a father figure will come to rescue you. That people seek solace and comfort in their lives ending by way of a god-brought conflagration.
Treating others with kindness and respect, altruism, living a meaningful and fulfilling life is not the sole property of religion and clearly not Christianity. The wars, forced conversions, Crusades, converters of the heathen while mass murdering them by the millions is a long, lurid part of Christianity as well as other religions.
You however, are under no obligation to accept anything. You would be wiser, but under no obligation to accept the gift of the cross...
If you could prove me wrong, you would. Now you reply with an insipid capitulation you have nothing.
Not only do I require proof, you should also. Religion discourages curiosity and questioning but believing dogmatically that the bible knows everything in the universe. No question about it. God did it ay?
Good luck with that.
Again and I quote:
You however, are under no obligation to accept anything. You would be wiser, but under no obligation to accept the gift of the cross
There ya go. Your whole rant was unnecessary...
I agree. How many mothers could hold their child in their arms, tied up in a fish net, and hung just high enough to be gored by the starved bull whose horns were sharpened to gore them with.really -

There is no story to repeat. You seem to be aching for another god-delivered, humanity wiping disaster. I see some really disturbing patterns of behavior from the very religious. They are often the most reactive, and want to see humanity end. They ache to see their god again msss slaughter humanity. They’re thrilled with the idea there is going to be suffering and that people will die in horrible ways, and this is all good. I would say it's tragic that people Barbour so much hate.If our story repeats Noah's, then what we can expect is a disaster so great it has mankind contemplating what we had and measure how much we had appreciated it (i.e., not nearly enough) and also how much we appreciated those we lost (we failed).
God did nothing and youre relying on a 2000 year old book to prove it.It's odd that you can't prove that God doesn't exist and yet you insist we prove He does.
What Guy said was neither insipid or capitulating.
Religion does not discourage curiosity and questioning. It's God's pleasure to hide something and have His children find it.
Belief and dogma are two entirely different things. Look up their definitions.
The Bible gives us a morsel of what God has created. He gave us what we needed to know to get through this basic training portion of our eternity...
God did every bit of it.
Luck never entered the picture. It was all by design...
Yet your alive in the year 2022 for a purpose, did you figure it out yet?Actually, it was necessary as an obvious rebuttal to your unsupported claim.
I am wiser, as is Mankind, for throwing off the shackles of fear and superstition that was imposed by the church during the Dark Ages. Not too many people being burned at the stake these days for witchcraft.
None of the human inventions of gods have ever made themselves known in a way that is rationally demonstrated with supportable evidence. History shows us that with time, every conception of gods have been swept away and looked upon as myth and curiosities of human fears and superstitions.

Ok. Exactly what is the purpose of my life?Yet your alive in the year 2022 for a purpose, did you figure it out yet?
A question with a question?Ok. Exactly what is the purpose of my life?
What's your purpose?
Don't reply if you think its to serve a ghost.
I agree. How many mothers could hold their child in their arms, tied up in a fish net, and hung just high enough to be gored by the starved bull whose horns were sharpened to gore them with.
Romans could actually push a sharpened pole up through the entire body, following the spine, to the neck. Then coat the poor souls in oil and set them on fire to light the walkways.
Thing is, most didn't have to. Preachers, teachers, Peter, Paul didn't have much of a choice, and knew in advance their fate. But all most of the others had to do was renounce Jesus and swear allegiance to whatever ruler of the day.
They wouldn't deny Him.
God did nothing and youre relying on a 2000 year old book to prove it.
You have no proof of anything but blind faith.
If I am wrong and I die, I lose nothing. If you are wrong and you die, you lose everything, for eternity. There are no if's about it. We are both going to die. So, one of us WILL be right, and one of us WILL NOT. One of us risked nothing, the other one risked everything. And you think you are the wise one??
