What I might say to?

a Christian:
What are You doing in a forum? Do you think that God doesn’t notice believers are just using the Internet as an excuse to ‘avoid’ Having To Physically Go Into All The World and do what Jesus commands [Mark 16:15-18]? Ergo, most believers aren’t joining forums to serve God or experience fellowship in Christ but rather they just want to boast and start arguments and insult everyone who doesn’t agree with their limited understanding of “God” or even worse and perhaps more likely; they were tempted into a forum by the devil to distract them From God? Thus, “forums” created to entice idle lazy disobedient believers to cower behind Alias usernames hatefully spewing biblical quotes from ignorance instead of declaring their Real names and going into the Real world and serving God as they Really should be doing and perhaps like many believers that spend all their time studying the bible instead of ‘doing’ what it says? Can you say: [BUSTED!]? Wink

an atheist:
Why do you call yourself an atheist when You can’t prove God does not exist any more than Christians can prove God does exist? Why do you like the taste of mustard? Why do you not like the taste of mustard? Who cares? Believers cannot prove the existence of God any more than Science can prove God doesn’t exist or can prove the big bang theory or intelligent design or any other theories of how mankind was created. That’s why it’s called a “theory” because theories cannot be proven unless/until they are proven and you’ll almost certainly be deceased without ever knowing or proving?

But maybe you’re exploring forums because you’re not truly an atheist either and so you’re naturally trying to find out which “theory” might be best for You to believe? And if you really want to know if God exists, you shouldn’t be asking this forum but rather you have to ask God because that’s the way it works and if so, you’re in luck because your options are simple too? It’s either True or False that God exists. Which means:
1. False; if God doesn’t exist and you’re content to choose death as your inevitable destiny, then you will die an atheist.
2. True; if God does exist and you choose death instead of eternal life in paradise, then you will die an atheist and then be resurrected only to suffer God’s wrath for eternity instead.

Hmmm, wonder what a sane person would hope for? What were the choices again? Oh ya, it’s either eternal paradise or eternal suffering. Yikes that’s a toughy because who in their right mind would want to pass up the hope for ‘eternal suffering’? Smile

Your choice. Smile . . . tick . . . tick . . . tick . . .

an agnostic:
Uhhhh, welcome to the real world amidst the rest of us ignoramuses that don’t know everything and can’t prove much of anything else and don’t need to give it a Name? Smile Though neither right nor wrong and it’s certainly your prerogative to sit on the fence; did you ever think of Making Up Your Mind About Something, as long as it’s not something evil, and ‘going with it’ to see what it might lead to? Most common synonyms for agnostic:
ignorant, clueless, unsure, dumbfounded, constipated, wishy-washy, whiney, honest, uncommitted, hypocrite, doubtful, along with hundreds of others most of which perhaps most people would probably not want to be thought of ‘as’?
Some possibly expected responses for when someone says: “Hey everyone, I’m agnostic.”:
1. Who cares? 2. Either ____ or get off the pot. 3. Oh sorry; my condolences. 4. Why? 5. And You’re proud of that because? 6. Good for you. 7. Have you tried therapy? 8. What time is it? 9. Love to stay and chat but I’ve actually made up my mind to be something today. 10. How? 11. Is it contagious/hereditary?

. . . tick . . . tick . . . tick . . .

I’ve been accused of being each of the 3. Smile

That is a false dilemma.
It assumes that if God existed he would only cause atheists to suffer for eternity.

Perhaps he will give them a second chance.
Perhaps God doesn't believe in eternity.
Perhaps God doesn't believe in suffering.






What if God preferred to make those that falsely claim to speak for him suffer for eternity? Wouldn't that mean you would suffer but aethiests wouldn't?

Well, I'm convinced. I now believe in god. Not the Christian god though. I believe in a god identical to the Christian god with the exception that it always has one more ability than the Christian god.

Believing in god is good. You have a choice Internet Ministries. You can continue to believe in your god, or you can start believing in a god that can always do one more thing.

your choice.
