No need for any atheist to attempt to debate with me about what I believe in. I BELIEVE IN GOD. I REFUSE TO ARGUE ABOUT IT. NO NEED TO EVEN ATTEMPT TO COMMENT ON ANYTHING I POST ON HERE ABOUT THE GOD THAT I KNOW AND SERVE. I WILL ONLY IGNORE YOU. NO NEED TO ARGUE OR DEBATE ABOUT WHAT I BELIEVE IN. NOTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE MY MIND ABOUT THE GOD THAT I KNOW AND LOVE..........

You're able to believe in any specious religious superstitions you choose.  Refusing to debate it is just a tacit admission of blind faith.  Any member of FC who chooses to comment on a post made by another FC member is able to do so without your 'permission' required.  Please do employ the ignore button provided by FC.  That seems a common cop-out among religious blind-faithers.

Scriptures, n. The sacred books of 'our holy religion', as distinguished from the false and profane writings on which all other faiths are based."

Thank you Kimberly , You know there is always going to be those that don't believe, but just do as the rest of us do and ignore them, They will usually find something to argue about. Just going on believing.

Someone who mentions that they are ignoring others isn't actually ignoring them.  This is nominally due to ignorance on the part of the non-ignorer and enough blind faith to nearly qualify for disability.

They will usually find something to argue about. Just going on believing. 

By not definding their blind religious faith, the holders of such are tacitly admitting that it is too weak/empty to withstand questioning.  The recommendation to continue having blind religious faith is as specious as the faith without substantive evidence remains.


“You can not convince a believer of anything; for their belief is not based on evidence, it is based on a deep-seated need to believe.”

When I question God I look in the mirror and see my smile and know why it's there. I am so happy with where I am in my life and that's thanks to God.

The attribution is specious in that there is no cause & effect connection between the religious belief and the attribution.  One may as well attribute a "smile" to 'invisible pink unicorns' just as speciously.

I believe in God to. There is tons of proof of him. And I am glad to know him. I feel sorry for those who don't know him and believe in him. Many different people have their own thoughts about God and religion. But the most important thing to me is to just be kind to one another. And to do unto others as you would have them do to you.

If so, you'd be able to produce such "proof"/evidence.  If you can, what does such evidence consist of, (besides invalid attributions)?

Praise God for you believers, you help make the world a better place. Like the rest of you don't pay attention to the non believers just pray for them.

Just as the "believers" in the same religious superstitions 'helped' to "make the world a better place" through the inquistions, non-"witch" burnings/drownings/hangings and crusades against those who didn't 'believe' as they did.


Like the rest of you don't pay attention to the non believers just pray for them.

It it sanctimoniously-presumptuous to 'inflict' specious religious intercessory magical rituals upon others.  These are summarily-rejected and much darker pagan intercessory rituals may or may not be 'offered' in exchange.  To reiterate a salient point; one is 'paying' "attention to non believers" by mentioning them peripherally.  It is only the ignorance of the blind faithers who 'ignore' by not ignoring such.

Thats great. You have that right to believe in god. I personally don't, but that is my choice. I was raised catholic and went to catholic school. And from my experience, I have had bad, and I mean bad experiences. So I cannot believe in any religion where the ones you're supposed to look up to beat you and put you down. But thats me. At least you have a good outlook on it and probably had good experiences in your life.

I know totally, right?! Like those people who caused riots and killed our U.S. ambassador because a YOUTUBE VIDEO offended their god.

Get a grip. Religion makes the world a far worse place.

So you know a few big words, but I will continually pray for you.

So you're demonstrably not the sharpest 'spoon in the drawer'; I can have pagans intercede ritualistically for you but, it's probably too late now.

I believe in a God that loves us all...whether we are believers or not it does not make us better than anyone else. We are all on this earth to perfect our souls and no amount of dogma can save us. I believe that the only hell is the one we are living in now and that the only devil is the one that resides in us all. Religion is great as long as you don't use it to look down your nose at other people because they don't believe what you believe or they don't follow the dogma of the church. I also believe in Jesus. But I don't believe that you have to believe that he is a savior in order to be "saved". If we bring forth the love that is inside of us we will find God. GOD IS LOVE AND LOVE IS GOD. He made all of us and I don't believe that he makes mistakes.  :heart:
