You said you had empirical evidence that God doesn't exist. What experiments have you done to prove this ? Are you familiar with quantum theory, or the spacial fourth dimension ? Do you believe in such things, even though you have never seen either, or proof of either ? I am surprised at someone with your alleged intelligence (I say alleged, as I don't know you) saying that none of the events in the Bible have ever been proven. Are you not familiar with history, or with archeology ? Both have proven that elements of the Bible are true, mostly in the New Testament. Many of the people have been proven to have existed, as with the places and events. Many of these accounts were written by people who did not follow Jesus.
You believe in science, you say - archeology is a science, too. Is it not just as important as physics ? Or chemistry ?
You said earlier that you have faith in humans. What kind of faith, faith that they are going to step on you in every fashion so that they can get what they want ?
I'm not trying to yank your chain Iggy - I'm just trying to find out why your brain works the way it does.
Is there any empirical evidence that poker can support a family ?
Let me tell you something, as I would like to see what you think of this. I have a friend that I've known for eons. Her mother took her to church sporadically as a child, but she stopped going probably around middle school. She had a very difficult childhood, and went off the deep end several times as a teenager. She ended up being a stripper, a crack head, and a rape victim, which resulted in pregnancy. I was her only loyal friend through all this. She was never a religious person, in fact she shunned the church, just as she shunned her mother and stepfather. Fast forward many years, and she is driving home in the middle of the night, down a two-lane road in the country. She lost control of her car going around a curve, and went into the woods where she hit a tree. She was nearly decapitated, broke all of her ribs, and completely crushed her left leg. I drove a hundred and fifty miles to visit her in the hospital, and saw her in traction with an ear-to-ear gash that had missed the jugular by a fraction of an inch. When she got out of the hospital months later, she sat me down and told me exactly what had happened. She said that when the paramedics came to cut her out of the car, she was sitting in a tree above them watching the whole thing. She reminded me that she was never religious, agnostic at a stretch, and went on to tell me that while she was sitting in the tree, watching her broken body bleed, that she felt the presence of God "sitting" right there beside her on the limb. She said he told her that she was going to be okay, and although she was "ready to go" with him, he "put" her back into her body. (I'm using the words she used, she said there wasn't really any way she could describe it properly) Her doctors performed surgery on her for 12 hours, and told her that they were completely astonished that she lived.
What do you make of that ? Brain farts ?

LOL, did it hurt?
Krogith, you want to generalize and jump around cause you're avoiding his word. Why don't you stay still and talk about one point and I'm sure it will come to the light.
You still avoided everything I said to you. You won't be able to prove your point with sound doctine. You will have to "teach" what it means instead of just repeating the sound words that can't be condemned. Like you said earlier, your instruction is to be out teaching heathen. I don't know where you get that from, but I think it turns into $$$ for your leaders. Jehovah Witness go door to door to talk to people. Bring in the members. There is no true religion out there. The oldest church standing today is a synagoge. The only people with religion in the bible were the jews. All current religions have been started by some man. We are built upon the apostles and prophets and Jesus is the corner stone. We don't go and start a new religion. We are the living stones that get added to that holy temple.

You don't even understand what you're saying. I'm the one trying to tell you that Jesus is God. You are the one trying to say that Jesus is a mediator. God is one. Jesus is LORD.

Jesus is lord over us by means of his father. Through Jesus we can draw close to what God wants us to be doing. Through Jesus ( his death and by following what he did) we can recive everlasting life from his Father Jehovah (yhwh). Your makeing jesus ( a creation) equle to God wich he is not. Jesus is our Lord and saveur. Your takeing a Title like president and saying it's god.
Jesus was 1st of all creation. He is Jehovah God's son, and lord of all other creation because hes Jehovah God's master Worker. Through Jesus all other things were created. But it was still Jehovah god's will. Jesus can't do anything with out Jehovah God's say so.
If you choose not to look the scripts I cited for you Thats on you.

Why did Jesus say that the writings of Moses were his words? Answer: Cause Jesus is the Word of God. Just like it says in the book of John. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the word was made flesh and dwelt among us.
"And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory."
When was God manifest in the flesh?

If I were to somehow beleive that I truly can't be a god of myself, I would feel there is no point to my life. My absolute inner-most incentive to live is that I hold my reality, my future, and maybe even my possible after life in my hands.
To be handed the rules of existence and reality on a platter, all neat and simplified, with a nice big fat "All You Need Is Faith", defies the very core of my rational mind. It would destroy the fabric of my sanity to beleive in religion.
I've always seen religious people as beneath me. They're either sheep, lazy, or cowards. It's for simpler people.
The whole story seems so silly to me. Like a fairy tale. Honestly, if it wasn't for the style it was written, I prolly would have read the bible front to back like various other fantasy novels in my collection.
I am my own God.
Religions influence on mankind has done nothing but bad. If you ask me, Faith is Satan. The bible was written by evil. The higher powers are looking down on our planet, with a sad grim expression on their face.
