Fun fact: For most atheists, religion is like, the gayest thing there is. The absolute fucking GAYEST. Seriously you guys.
Plenty of rational people are irritated by religion just as plenty of irrational people are irritated by homosexuality.
And yet, I would never call someone "gay" as a derogatory thing.
Theist ignorant hatred is the reason gay teenage americans are three times more likely to commit suicide than straight ones.
That's a fact.

It has nothing to do with them being theist. (people can hate homosexuality if they're atheist too)
Jesus spent most of His time in the presence of what they called the worst of the worst back in the day. I'm not calling homosexuals the worst of the worst, just pointing out that Jesus never said to shun
. He said to
your neighbor as yourself. To do unto them as you would have done unto you.
So anyone engaging in hate, is sinning.
Demons trying to get people to sin and worship false gods.
Can your compile us a list of all these false Gods please? I want to be sure to avoid them.
Please answer in your own words and directly as possible. Thanks.
Anyone or anything that is not the true God of the bible /Jesus should not be worshiped or placed in higher respect than God/Jesus.
How have you come to that conclusion? Give me an example; let's say the Islamic God Allah. How have you concluded this one is false?
Because I believe Jesus Christ is the savior.
Yeah see you didn't really answer the question, you just gave us your opinion. Just because xyz is comforting, doesn't imply xyz is true.
To be fair I knew you would never answer it because I asked an impossible question. Nobody can possible know if that particular God is false or not.
Good reason why I steer clear of the whole mess.
No. I answered the question completely. You just want proof.
I'm sure atheists will love this answer, but I have proof. Those with hardened hearts will never see proof enough to believe in God though. Christians are not supposed to bother trying to explain or prove His existence to someone who will never believe. Atheists will say they will, but it will never happen. You'll say that's convenient.
Well, it's not, it would be easier to just lay it all out and have you believe. But it's not the way God set up the world. And my proof is my proof, and subjective, nothing you can't say was just a figment of my imagination and easily explainable. But I know it's true.
It's all rather "school yard" all this. I mean why make a big fanfare announcement claiming proof, then when asked to show it (which you wanted people to do anyway, or else why announce it?), reply "not telling".
What you gonna do next, throw my school bag on the roof for not subscribing to your God club?
I don't want to speak for someone else, but I have a few questions and thoughts:
1) What kind of proof are you looking for?
He mentioned his proof is subjective. If it's 110 degrees outside and I tell you that it's cold outside because I happen to feel cold, how can I prove this to you? A thermometer won't cut it except saying that 110 degree is cooler than, say, a paper fire. Do you allow any room for experiential proof? It would certainly be valid to say that my feeling and knowledge of being cold is experiential proof despite my inability to prove this to you or anyone else.
2) Do you generally believe proof must be empirical proof?
3a) If so, what place do you think logical or mathematical proofs have in rational discourse?
3b) Also, if so, by what means could one falsify the belief, or prove to the contrary, that empirical proof is not the only kind that matters?
1)
Objective evidence/proof as she made a claim that required objective evidence/proof. I asked why she thinks her religion of Christianity was true and Islam was false, which is what she implied by saying only the bible God should be worshipped. I think she got confused with the question and thought I just asked for proof of God, which I didn't.
Claiming Islam is incorrect with just subjective proof is silly, because Islam claims their religion is correct with objective evidence. (They also believe subjectively as well of course.) No need to go into detail but it goes along the lines of the Quran says this that and the other and the bible says this so the Quran must be only correct one, and so forth. This is objective, you agree? And surely objective proof/evidence must always trump subjective proof/evidence.
She failed to put any objective evidence/proof on the table, thus failed to answer my question.
I'm sure your going to tell me I've got it all wrong now. I know my limits, I'm not arguing with you, you'll blow me out of the water. LOL.
You asked how I came to the conclusion, and I gave you my answer. I believed, and I got proof.
I don't need to prove it to you with objective evidence to answer your question of how I came to the conclusion I did. I answered your question. I don't need to prove His existence to
to believe in Him.
