Once again, I am displaying no anger here whatsoever. Why do religious people bow up when their belief system is questioned? It's just a discussion, if my atheiesm is to be questioned (not by you personally Mud Dauber, but in general) then surely we can debate the irrationality of a belief in God. You either have faith, or you don't, but The Bible cannot be brought in as evidence. It's just a book to me, I don't accept that evidence. Prove the existence of God to me..go on, I dare you. If there is a God..where is he? Why did he let the Holocaust happen? The Tsunami, the war in Iraq, the WTC, WW1 and WW2... he's not doing much of a job is he? All he's saying is believe in me, don't doubt. Oh, and by the way I'm a jealous God..have no others. Not much evidence as far as I can see.
I'm sorry, but you do sound angry to me, like a dog straining on a leash - bad analogy probably but i'm high on cough syrup ! Maybe a horse chomping at the bit ?

You are asking these questions like you think I have all the answers. I don't have all the answers. I don't pretend to have all the answers. You don't have the answers either. Humans have free will, and many of us choose the wrong path. I myself have done so quite a few times. In my experience it sometimes takes a big knock on the head to get people to wake up. When I make mistakes, or when bad things happen to me, I learn. And because I learn, I can teach others. You may say what could people learn from these wars and natural disasters ? Many things. And yes, people do suffer when bad things happen, but this body is only temporary. I believe that with all my heart. It doesn't take away the suffering of people, but it makes life a lot more bearable for me, at least.

Why don't you prove that God doesn't exist, instead of me proving he does ? Go on, I dare you.
