		<description>Did you ever think about the fact that an all powerful creator, the one who has no limits,
if he wanted to write a book would without a doubt do it himself. The fact that he nor his son can write makes me lean towards the conclusion that all books are man made.
Try thinking for yourself and use your power of REASON.</description>

		<description>How did I get here, it&#039;s called evolution!  Also the earth is 1.6 billion years old and not 6500 to 10,000 years old as the bible says. So if the bible is the word of god and this is one of many inconsistancies what else is wrong with the bible?  Think about that before you place your trust or faith in a smoke and mirrors illusion!</description>

		<description>Spoken like a true brainwashed, cult member. You are putting your beliefs into a BOOK written by people (not god) who tells you this is all true. Did you meet jesus, NO. There is really no hard evidence proving his existence. No grave, no body, NOTHING. The shroud proves nothing, as proven time and time again. It is no difference if I convinced some ignorant tribe in Australia with a Superman comic book that he was real. IT IS WRITTEN so it is so! If you compare the similarities its uncanny. Came from the sky, was pure of heart died to protect us all and even resurrected. So if I convinced a tribe of aborigines that knew nothing of a religion that he was the savior we would soon have churches all over the place with a big red &quot;S&quot; instead of a cross.</description>

		<description>I see these kinds of Posts all over the internet. Atheists crying out for attention, making bold proclamations, so self absorbed with themselves as to think the world needs to hear their pretend wisdom.

Its all a cry for help. If they really were sure they wouldnt have to keep trying to re-enforce their beliefs--never realizing they&#039;re obsessing over the subject because God is pursuing them. 

Its sad--yet adorable in a way. The irrationality of proclaiming Christianity as the easiest to dismiss shows the helplessness of their reasoning being that is clearly the most coherent--as any religious professors will teach you(atheist or not--and many are).

I know loving the one who specifically created You and the entire universe is all &quot;Icky&quot;--but that just displays how depraved the enemies of God are. Thats all worship is..loving your God. Loving the one who actually became a human to suffer--to show you he was not unwilling to do anything he asked you to do. Christ is as close as you on your icky knees asking to know Him. He will burn the truth in your mind if you respond to him as a child instead of some arrogant enemy who knows it all. 

If you were God--how would you feel about the display of the unimaginable wisdom you proclaimed in your post? An ant telling almighty God how stupid the idea of Him is.

Well, the real God still seeks to know you--yes, insignificant, arrogant you. Your reasoning about how Christians have it worse if God turns out be another god is astonishing. This isnt a guess brosef. Christians have Christ burned in their minds when they place their trust in God. We&#039;re more sure about Christ than we are of our own names. Try it...or are you afraid to feel all icky?</description>

		<description>&quot;Nothing in these debates will come to any conclusion, because ultimately the issue is not about proof, it is about faith. Any one can debate proof. But only I can debate my own faith.&quot;

Exactly, Ive found in my experience that it is entirely futile to debate with people who have already decided that faith outweighs truth, They see evidence against their faith as nothing more than tests of their faith, rejecting evidence feels like a victory to these people.</description>

		<description>* You don’t like God – Well there is no universal rule that GOD must be a lovable being ... He does not require liking nor loving from his creation ... because LOVE itself comes from HIM.
    * Free Will – Nobody is forced to attend church services ... however you&#039;re attendance provides moral support for others ... ever wonder why there is no &quot;politically-correct&quot; protest like pro-abortion rally ... with only one person on the parade :-) .
    * Church – ... surrounding yourself with people who think the same to reaffirm your beliefs &gt;&gt;&gt; hmmm would you prefer to talk to other atheist with your views? .. try it you&#039;ll see the effect of &quot;where you belong&quot;.
    * The Risk – is greater to an athiest ... if there is no GOD ... then your safe .. but if there is GOD ... and you CHOOSE not to believe ... that is not a question of RISK ... that falls on the level of DEFIANCE. Ofcourse the risk is lesser if you lived in a time where the stage of knowing GOD is at the initial stage like the period of the caveman perhaps.
    * Your Heaven is my Hell – Then you don&#039;t hate religion ... only those who practiced it ... You measure the capacity of a Divine Being based on mere activity of mortals ... its like trying to remove the water in the sea using a bucket.</description>
