Your assertions are based on assumptions; You could ask God these questions.. But then it happens you don't believe he exist..

If that's the case then we aint different, because religion is also based on assumption smiley

did satan ask for forgiveness and God rejected him?
Does satan look repentant to you?
Which verse of d bible says except you fast x days your prayer wont b heard?
You just wanna accuse.

What about Adam & Eve? How do you justify the magnitude of the punishment for eating just an apple? Doesn't that look forgivable to you?

God punished them for their sins.. He didn't cast them into the lake of fire...

Pr0ton:
What an advice...S*lly
It was my inability to understand those verses that made me 'mistook' them as claims for my point. But since you can detect a flaw there and things I'm missing why not expatiate them yourself and correct my error?

Emmalot121: Why do you like wasting time on people like protOn, they have made up their minds, they are everywhere (atheists) trying as much as possible to argue with people like you, just to keep their hearts in peaceful state.Pray for them, if they wish to argue, pass them bible verses that tally and let them argue with God.Remember Jesus said(Abraham in parable)..............And he said unto him,If they hear not Moses and the prophets,neither will they be persuaded,though one rose from the dead.

This is no brainer. Hypothetically speaking, should my dad rise from dead, I will believe whatever he says over that of any man of 'God'. So, this logic is highly flawed.

The issue here is about forgiveness, and not the method of punishment. And if you must know, humans are still receiving the punishment of one man, for eating an apple. That's according to the bible.


"You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but
you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and
evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die." - Genesis

Sir, not all atheists are scientists. Some are historians, some philosophers, some economists, some journalists, some are in the arts, some are labourers, some are theologians, some just plain ordinary "lay" men. in fact they're simply people found everywhere across various trades and vocations, and not all of them are waiting for science to prove the existence of God. That was the main reason I started this trend - to clear up some misconceptions about the group. But I doubt if you had read the whole post, I won't fault you for that, it was admittedly a bit long.

A flawed statement of yours..

The definition of Science flaws what you have stated above...

Science
noun
1. study of physical world: the study of the physical and natural world and phenomena, especially by using systematic observation and experiment (often used before a noun)
2. branch of science: a particular area of study or knowledge of the physical world
the life sciences

3. systematic body of knowledge: a systematically organized body of knowledge about a particular subject
the behavioral sciences

4. something studied or performed methodically: an activity that is the object of careful study or that is carried out according to a developed method
the science of dressing for success

5. knowledge gained from science: the knowledge gained by the study of the physical world

Point taken. Next time I'd try to be more thorough. I think we're more alike than you suppose, because as far as religious goes I'm irreligious, but I do, in fact believe in the idea of a First Cause, vaguely translated to God. What I don't agree with is the assertion that Yahweh or Allah or Krishna is that First Cause.

Note: I'm only using the term First Cause for lack of a better one.

Very well then, I think you understood in what sense I meant, but based on the definition above that makes us all scientists, doesn't it?

As for the second part: I can't speak for the whole, everyone has their reasons why they believe or don't believe a thing. As for me, I stopped believing in a Yahweh god because I became tired of defending the illogic of his very being against common sense. And I bet you've heard this a lot of times, that the burden of proof lies on the one making a claim not the one who doesn't believe that claim.

Ahm, hey, there's a new thing in town now - it's called reading in between the lines, it's pretty cool and I think you should try it before you start dashing titles to people.

Blue: In Christianity we call it questioning your faith. I used to and later dropped all facts about the Existence of God; This was until I literally was confronted by a spirit and thoroughly dealt with. Sounds so funny huh!..
Maybe you probably need the same spirit to confront you.. Unfortunately I don't have his number and he is (the spirit) currently scared of me..
And you're not to believe me.. Every individual has a story to tell..
