God kills forty two small boys in the Bible for teasing a prophet (2 Kings 2:23-24 NAB, look it up yourself), and people wonder why I became an atheist.

Here's why I think the proof is on you. Suppose you and I were sitting in a room together, and I say to you "hey, look at this" and show you something in my hands. I have nothing there, so you can't see it. Let's say I keep saying I can see it. Is the burden of proof on me to produce it, or on you to believe it's right there even if you can't see it.
Take your time.. :)
Did I insult you ? :confused: I didn't mean to if I did. Do you mean where I said you must have had a sad life ? That wasn't meant as an insult, I only meant that life would be sad with no peace or goodness in it, dont you agree ?
I have children, thank you :) And they are as beautiful as their mother :D
If you showed me something in your hand that I couldn't see, and you were positive and insistent that it was there, I have to honestly say that I would eventually come to believe you. Don't laugh, I really do mean it. I know people who have seen things that others cant (or haven't), I myself have seen a ghost, and am completely convinced that that's what I saw. And that is why I feel the burden of proving God exists doesnt lie on me. :)

Which brings us neatly back to where we started. Belief in God is a matter of faith, there is no logic behind it.

No one ever said a woman was logical ;)
But, can you prove he doesn't exist ?
Going to lie down now, my head feels like it's on the rafters !

Your view of other unbelievers shouldn't deter you from the word of God. I wouldn't mistake a soldier for a christian. Who is telling them to fight? They are doing it by their own will.
You think those are acts of mother nature? I'm sure all those that were dying in the waters during those 40 days and 40 nights, thought it was mother nature as well. But guess what? The believers were safe from the killing waters. Tsunami, how does it come about? What does science tell you about them? Why do they come? When do they come? Can science predict them? What can science do for me? Can it keep me alive? I'm not asking if can science can delay my death in the flesh. Why can't science keep man alive forever? I do appreciate the numbness science brings to us, but on a deeper level, what can science do when the end is near?
Can science prove that the earth did not evolve six thousand years ago? According to the scriptures, the earth was formed six thousand years ago. Can science prove that man has existed on earth longer than six thousand years? Can science proved that the people in those days did not live close to 1,000 years? Your view of the earth only being six thousand years old is a private interpretation of the Word of God. Science will never be able to age the earth cause it's not given. I marvel that you believe in science, but reject the SCIENTIST.

According to science we've been here a lot longer than six thousand years my friend.
You've heard of carbon dating right?

that prophet had just cured the water of that land to no longer make people sick. Lack of faith will always lead to distruction. If you choose to go agenst what god has SAID or DONE, death will be what you recive.

how is there no proof? the fact that everything works so well together and everything runs in order and the fact that there a Millions of differnt life all from the same soup. Proves to me he exsist. your science can;t even tell you WHY you die. No one knows why we age. the body is made to keep running. No one can tell you what, why and when but he who created it.
Just because you have decided to ignore the signs does not mean I have to.
The bible has a ton of proof that it was inspired by God. These people could not of known or guessed that right.

I don't think you are a true representative of the good side of religion. The type that teaches love, understanding and tolerance. Those people do exist, and some of them are religious. Personally I think they have it all wrong, but we manage to get along in harmony and still love one another. You seem to have a hate on against the world because we atheists do not suscribe God's word. All in all you are about the worst advert for religion that there can be.
