TM,

But we used to be uninformed and children believing in fairy tales just like you. We were there, remember? so you cannot say we do not know what we are talking about. We just allowed ourselves a minute to think thing through and it all did not add up. And just like santa claus is a myth, we concluded the same about the bible ... stories passed on from generation to generation to instill fear and control the masses!

IT IS philosophically impossible to be an atheist, since to be an atheist uou must have inifinite knowlegde in order to know absolutely that there is no God. But to have infinite knowlegde, you would have to be God yourself. It's hard to be God yourself and an atheist at the same time!
The Bible says in Psalms 14:1, The FOOL says in his heart, 'There is no God.'

I really feel pity on you atheist, An Atheist is a man of great faithful in absolutely nothing. WOW!
Be honest and admit that IF God were to drop His moral and holy standard, most of you would believe.

From you defination of your 'christianity' I know understand why you took off.

You can sleep in a goat pen, smell like a goat etc BUT you will never be a goat. (sorry meaning slightly Lost in translation)

TM, I'll define an atheist for you again. An atheist, just like a theist, doesn't KNOW if god exists, an atheist BELIEVES that god doesn't exist. Same way I don't believe that unicorns exist, but I can't categorically say that I KNOW unicorns don't exist.


>The Bible says in Psalms 14:1, The FOOL says in his heart,
>'There is no God.'

Careful TM, regarding calling others fools, Jesus says in Mathew 5:22 "but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire."


>I really feel pity on you atheist, An Atheist is a man of
>great faithful in absolutely nothing. WOW!

TM, I have faith in "N" things, you have faith in "N+1" things. These "N" things we both have faith in include People, Friends, Family, etc. That 1 thing you have faith in that I don't have faith in is god. If you can judge me coz of not sharing faith in ONE thing with you, while totally ignoring the thousands of other things that we share faith in, aren't you being hypocritical?


>Be honest and admit that IF God were to drop His moral and
>holy standard, most of you would believe.

I don't believe god exists, so I don't believe a thing that doesn't exist would have a moral standard. It's like asking if I'd believe in Santa if he rode a bike instead of being pulled by a sleigh. I don't believe in Santa/god, ragardless of how you paint him.

hmm....interesting....in view of what you are saying then.... if one had a little bit of knowledge about God then one would have to be that little bit of that 'God' which then makes Jesus absolutely correct in saying we are all part of the One.....which is what i've been telling you FOOL TM!!!!!!! just kiddin' TM

Ok....i'm going to have to place you on the stage here bro TM......i can remember sometime back i had written that God cannot create something out of nothing.....i said God can only create something from God Himself because 'nothing' does not exist!! Does that mean that Coach is an atheist for he said his 'God' can make something out of nothing????? i will try looking where he said that......


>Be honest and admit that IF God were to drop His moral and
>holy standard, most of you would believe.

TM.....how do you even expect God to drop anything?? And who told you God has a moral standard?? The only problem with this 'moral' thing is how you take the 'oral' aspect out of it....you are orally wrong!!!! God does not need to be believed in....God will Be regardless.

-the paradigm shifter......God's friend.


The soul is that which beholds beauty even when the mind denies it.
