Do you understand what I am saying Mars? You might say God is wrong or that God is lying to us, but we have no reason to follow you.

No, If God exist, then he would have the ability to better gather and correctly interpet data than you do. Yes or no?

I'll repeat what I previously wrote, again, because my answer hasn't changed:thenexttodie said:No, If God exist, then he would have the ability to better gather and correctly interpet data than you do. Yes or no?
What makes this a good reason?
How does "he's really good at interpreting data" lead to "you ought follow him"?
Any scientist would understand reality better than you do. Which scientists do you follow?

Stop pretending you can read minds. You aren't very good at it.
Stick to speaking on what YOU think, feel or do.

What scientists do I follow? I don't know what scientists I follow.

Anyway I am glad you admit that God would not gain you as a follower just by simply coming to your door and maybe doing a few miracles.

So an admission that "better understanding of reality than you do" is not a reason to follow.thenexttodie said:What scientists do I follow? I don't know what scientists I follow.
And I am glad you admit that Hitler would gain you as a follower if he did.thenexttodie said:Anyway I am glad you admit that God would not gain you as a follower just by simply coming to your door and maybe doing a few miracles.
(Can't we get some quality christian trolls rather than these two?)

Oh, ok yeah, that's real smart Mars. Hitler would gain me as a follower if he came to my door. That's a great argument.

It isn't my argument, its yours.
But I disagree with you: it isn't smart, it's fucking dumb.

No dude, I think I tried to tell you before, you took this quote out of context. What you did by starting this thread is actually pretty hilarious really.

On my end I'm disappointed that 6 pages in, the christians still failed to answer a simple question.
Disappointed they did not answer but not surprised that all they did is trolling.
Also a bit baffled why they would find the question "why should we worship god" hilarious.
I guess they're in on the joke that is their religion?

You win Mars ok. You are right. I am just trolling a thread you started based on a quote of mine which you totally took out of context. I will never be able to answer any of your questions because you are way too smart for me. You are the master of the internet.
thenexttodie said:Yes Christians are told to love and pray for their enemies. But its fine if someone for instance tried to rape my wife and she shot him in the head.
Atheists have a hard time understanding these things. An Atheist would say that since God told us to love our enemies that my wife should love her rapist while being raped.
It's no good pretending it's atheists who have difficulty understanding these things - many atheists here in particular were once Christians.
Clearly, given your last sentence, you find it difficult to understand these things too.
thenexttodie said:Well, if God exists, than he would have the ability to better gather and correctly interpret data better than you, correct?
Silly. If your particular God exists, then 'He' would not need to gather or interpret data, already knowing everything.
The moving target of belief.

Love without hating evil is meaningless. If I told you that I love your 5 year old son and then I told you I was also the loving the man while he was raping your 5 year old son, would you call me Omni-benevolent? (Sorry for the disgusting illustration, I hope this never happens to you)
Love demands Justice. Joshua put the king of Ai's body on a fucking stake. God held the sun in the sky so Joshua could finish killing certain people.
You will go straight to hell when you die. God will not be loving you while you are in hell. Do you think otherwise?

Am I the only one that finds most of the above somewhat incoherent?
Incoherent, depraved... potato, potato.
