    No Christian acts or talks like PostmodernProphet or Grugore. Others know them by their fruit, and it is rotten just as much as the vicious antiGodists.

    It is merely the nature of existence fool

    What a bunch of self-serving nonsense!

    It is bullshit...especially that crap abpit "that leaves you with just one possibility."

    The possibilities are endless...except that the idiots who insist "at least one god exists" or "no gods exist" refuse to accept that.

    Keep trying, though, Grugore. Apparently that god of yours likes brown-nosing almost as much as Donald Trump,

    Well originally but translators cleaned up Paul's language from Philippians and Romans so it isn't quite so profane as it was originally.

    The Enuma Elish would later be the inspiration for the Hebrew scribes who created the text now known as the biblical Book of Genesis. Prior to the 19th century CE, the Bible was considered the oldest book in the world and its narratives were thought to be completely original.

    In the mid-19th century CE, however, European museums, as well as academic and religious institutions, sponsored excavations in Mesopotamia to find physical evidence for historical corroboration of the stories in the Bible. These excavations found quite the opposite, however, in that, once cuneiform was translated, it was understood that a number of biblical narratives were Mesopotamian in origin.
    give me a single parallel.......

    Rana, your buddy, told you to write that. You had no choice. See what I mean. You are no Christian. A Christian would not write that.

    Nope. You're assuming that you understand the nature of causality, and the universe. Neither of us know either. Atheists are ok saying, "I don't know." You aren't, so you invent some stupid shit to try to explain it.

    The only thing required to be an atheist is that one lacks a positive belief in a god or gods. It doesn't speak to the origin of the universe, the origin of life, or anything else.

    If you believe that man is good, there is no need for government. If you believe that man is bad, you dare not create one.

    Fallacy of bifurcation. There are more than 2 options. Just because you're ignorant of other options, doesn't mean they don't exist.

    It is easier to imagine matter has always existed than to give credence to an out of nothing creator who came out of nothing.

    "The belief of God is not a matter of common sense, or logic, or argument, but of feeling. It is as impossible to prove the existence of God as to disprove it. I do not believe in God. I see no need of such an idea. It is incredible to me that there should be an after-life. I find the notion of future punishment outrageous and of future reward extravagant. I am convinced that when I die, I shall cease entirely to live; I shall return to the earth I came from. Yet I can imagine that at some future date I may believe in God; but it will be as now, when I don't believe in Him, not a matter of reasoning or of observation, but only of feeling." W. Somerset Maugham, A Writer's Notebook
