Hank kicks some serious bottom.

[Hardcore Newbie]

Hardcore Newbie,

Your arguement is not realisticly compared to the bible. There is no evidence that Hank existed outside of the pathetic letter from Hank and two people. But there is evidence for God everywhere. Real Christians don't believe in God just because someone walks up to us and says so.

I guess you missed the part with Karl? John's Mother was also a believer. How about if the whole town were believers? We can change the story to make it work. And if it's about the number of believers, then I guess Santa Claus is real too. I'm sure kids have Santa in their heart (evidence, as you've call it many times).

As for the 11 commandments of Hank, there is no evidence of this in our hearts either.

I'm sure kids have Santa in their heart too (evidence, as you've call it many times).

And not working on the sabbath is commandment we find within our hearts? What is in people's hearts is *again* subjective. Different people have different things in their heart.

So Gods word has lots of evidence. Hanks words cannot be confirmed because of lack of evidence. Big difference.

These people take it as evidence because it's in their heart. No different than you.

The Bible goes a lot further than just some people who believe something for no reason. There is no eternal nature of Santa.

Yes, not working on the Sabbath is a commandment you can recognize in your heart. Different people put things in their heart but you can't take your conscience out.

There is no enternal nature of Hank, and his laws are not in our hearts. Hank is not God.

Does it? some of the things, sure, they have reasons. What's so important about observing the sabbath? is it so important that it's in the "top 10" of things to do and keep in mind?

and so what if santa doesn't have eternal nature, are you denying that he can be in a child's heart?

this

Yes, not working on the Sabbath is a commandment you can recognize in your heart. Different people put things in their heart but you can't take your conscience out.

contradicts this

There is no enternal nature of Hank, and his laws are not in our hearts. Hank is not God.

If you can recognize not working on the sabbath, you can certainly recognize washing your hands after going the the washroom.

You keep saying that the evidence is in our hearts and that Hank has no eternal nature. Hank's laws are not in YOUR heart. Who are you to say what is in someone else's heart? The people in this story most definitely have Hank in their hearts. Since you are both getting your evidence from the same place (your hearts) why is their evidence worth less than yours? Does something have to be eternal in order to have any sway for you? Do you not have your family in your heart? And if hank Claimed to be eternal, or God? Again remember, it's a fictional story, we can change it as many times as we fit to have it analogize perfectly with your beliefs.

the whole point of the story was to show why I, and possibly others, have a hard time believing the bible, and you're proving me right. The only differences so far, really, is the eternal nature of god. If we make hank eternal, the story is still silly, just as I find the Bible silly. You are no different than John and Mary.

they have hank in their heart, you have god in yours
they have evidence of hank, you have evidence of god
hank is (now) eternal, god is eternal
hank has rules, god has rules.
you don't believe in hank, they don't believe in god

if you need more comparisons, let me know

[natureisawesome]

The bottom line is that Hank is not God, and that's why it's not valid to compare.

Santa clause isn't real, but God is. That's a big differnce. And it's more than just thinking about santa cluase or loving Santa clause. IS Santa clause the source of Love? SDid Hank create the heavens and the earth? No.

The whole argument depends upon reality (like everything).

This is silly. I'm not trying to offend you, but I really wish, that even if you've decided you don't agree with the evidence for a god, Christians to point to a lot of evidence they believe backs up God. To say Christians don't have any evidence is ignorance.

[couch-potato]

I'm noticing a lack of worship for Saturn (almighty god of agriculture) in this thread. What is this, a forum full of unbelievers!? Heretics! Infidels! All of you!

You will regret all of this slander when your crop yields fail!

The bottom line is that Hank is not God, and that's why it's not valid to compare.

The only reason to believe that hank is not god is because it's a fictional story. The Bible is a fictional story with some facts thrown in.

Santa clause isn't real, but God is. That's a big differnce. And it's more than just thinking about santa cluase or loving Santa clause. IS Santa clause the source of Love? SDid Hank create the heavens and the earth? No.

Ok, we'll make it in the story so that hank created hot dog heaven and the earth. Again, it's a fictional story, we can change it to make as many comparisons as possible. And it doesn't stop the bible from being silly.

The whole argument depends upon reality (like everything).

This is silly. I'm not trying to offend you, but I really wish, that even if you've decided you don't agree with the evidence for a god, Christians to point to a lot of evidence they believe backs up God. To say Christians don't have any evidence is ignorance.

You don't, and neither do I. You're having a real hard time pointing to any in the other thread.
