Looks like the original poster is reporting us to the moderators. I wish this pointless thread will close already. Everyone is arguing and noting being achieved in this thread. The original poster had his laugh but really who cares anymore. Am I correct?

How is it you persist in showing everyone you have no knowledge of what this thread is about? IMO there is a great deal at stake here. You think it's a game full of laughs. While I do encourage humor on both sides.
This is not light subject matter. (in terms of weight)
The Atheists Nightmare Are you people just not into self preservation or what? I can certainly imagine myself, after death, resting peacefully in my grave, with nothing to ever come and bother me. Even after a lifetime of belief in God. The thing I can't imagine and am glad I will never have to... Would be if I was suddenly awakened from that eternal sleep, by the deafing sound of trumpets blaring loud enough to wake the dead. Then as an Angel is rushing by my comfortable grave, he pauses and points the way to Judgement day. This after a long life denying God because I was duped by a fad. Atheism. The fool says," there is no God" then comes death. then judgement. The thing I find so ironic about Atheism, is that it is also is a part of prophecy. You literally are predicted as a great falling away. If it weren't for Atheism the Bible might be in error. God fortold of the day when arrogant men would scough at God fearing people. So what all can you tell me? Maybe death dosn't exist either? One thing that can't be argued, we are all intelligent enough that we should have it sorted out by the time we do sleep. So start off with the truth that everyone knows ( There is only one truth) and check yourself, before you wreck yourself. Your life is literally in your hands.

You have likely heard that it is impossible to prove that God exists. You have heard wrong. Not only can the existence of God be proven, denying the proof undermines rational thought. It is true that God does not need anyone, let alone me, to prove His existence.The existence of God is so obvious that we are without excuse for denying it. No one needs proof that God exists.
So wait, the existence of God can be proven...yet you refuse to to give us any proof. Oh wait, the same quote states you don't need to prove anything. My apologies, continue making things up
Until you provide any credible proof for your statements, your words are 100% worthless.

Peaceful leaf my but. This thread has never been on topic and all of you know it. The original poster and his supporters are pointless arguing with me and the other Atheist on this thread.
People being on Earth is nothing better then rocks being on Mars or the Moon.

Then get off the thread why don't you?
I am disagreeing with Randy's myself... comrade is it?
And this is the first time I saw it so quit telling me what I know because you are making a liar out of yourself on top of the other adjectives I see you we might apply.
I don't think you want to add that to your list of "credentials"
People being on Earth is nothing better then rocks being on Mars or the Moon.
Sorry you feel that way. It feels different to me.

Say what you will about the sweet miracle of unquestioning faith, I consider a capacity for it terrifying and absolutely vile. It’s an incredible con job when you think about it, to believe something now in exchange for something after death. Even corporations with their reward systems don’t try to make it posthumous.

You simply have that all wrong. Your assumption that I believe anything in exchange for anything, is simply a gross negligence of the facts.
I know for a fact the evidence of the con job is on you. Hence, my post
That TPTB know for a fact that the God of the Bible is their enemy.

If I were not an atheist, I would believe in a God who would choose to save people on the basis of the totality of their lives and not the pattern of their words. I think he would prefer an honest and righteous atheist to a TV preacher whose every word is God, God, God, and whose every deed is foul, foul, foul.
If you could simply get past yourself, for a whole two minutes, you might actually catch a glimpse of what is really going on.
