You might want to respond to this fool, but I'd advise to simply ignore his drivel. Check his overall posting history. You'll find that when he is unsuccessful in damaging your faith, he'll become frustrated and resort to calling you names from then on.

Do you like it when we point back to past threads where we’re caught you in a lie and point it out for all to see.

Correct. I'm in great danger of the horrors of Hell.

I'm happy to see that you enjoy and agree with Scripture as I do.

"Hello, kettle? This is pot. You're black!"

Yup, again. A great and proficient sinner I am.

As black and nasty as Ossai. Maybe even blacker and nastier.

However, if you enjoy watching children throwing tandrums, kicking and screaming, etc., you'll enjoy this clown.

Ditto.

Yup yet again. It's actually quite entertaining to watch him perform.

Your links are lacking. You've linked a thread which opens with a post from someone else, and the next post of mine reads thus:

Maybe you'd like to try again, child?

Correct. I'm in great danger of the horrors of Hell.

Actually, I don't believe a word of it. But if you're right, I'll make sure to save you a nice warm spot should I die first. After all, I really doubt you remember to mention all the times your temper gets the best of you when you're in confession.

Oh, I see. You're just trying to use it as a weapon against me.

Sorta like how Satan used the lie on Eve.

You're quite a guy. Too bad your game doesn't work.

But if you're right, I'll make sure to save you a nice warm spot should I die first.

Thanks, but no thanks. I'm hoping there isn't reserved seating in Hell. I would think I could keep the company I prefer there. I know of several that may be there who I'd prefer to hang with.

After all, I really doubt you remember to mention all the times your temper gets the best of you when you're in confession.

Yup.

Mrs. Huntster has pointed out that I'm such a proficient sinner that there is no way I can remember every one for the confessional.

I'm kinda hoping that I will be judged on my faith and love of God more than my sins (in fact, there is that exact liturgical prayer in the Catholic Mass that I always remember to pray fervently, because I'm relying on it).

 

[Genesius]

Oh, I see. You're just trying to use it as a weapon against me.

Yup. Always fun to point out to believers how they don't follow their own rules.

You're quite a guy. Too bad your game doesn't work.

Well, I'm having fun. Sorry if you're not.

Thanks, but no thanks. I'm hoping there isn't reserved seating in Hell. I would think I could keep the company I prefer there. I know of several that may be there who I'd prefer to hang with.

Same here. Isaac Asimov, Carl Sagan, Richard Feynman, Albert Einstein. Getting to hang around with great minds would beat plinking on a harp for eternity.

I'll take my chances as an honest atheist. I've always said that any God who could condemn any of his creation to eternal punishment isn't worthy of my worship. If I appear before the Throne after my death and it turns out you're faith is the right one I'll make sure to flip God the big, hairy bird before He sends me on my way.

And it's always fun to point out to people like you that they're not my rules, and I'm as human as the next guy (even if he doesn't think so, and considers himself as too powerful to need the Almighty God).

Oh, this isn't bad. At least you're not as unpleasant as Ossai.

I hope you won't be too disappointed if you don't find them there, or they'd prefer other company, too.

Funny; I would think that an honest atheist wouldn't be thinking that a God who could condemn any of his creation to eternal punishment isn't worthy of his/her worship. He would think that God doesn't exist, not that such a God isn't worthy of his/her worship, understanding, and love.

Sounds to me like you're more angry with God because He didn't set things up the way you'd like, not that you don't believe He exists.

If I appear before the Throne after my death and it turns out you're faith is the right one I'll make sure to flip God the big, hairy bird before He sends me on my way.

What a really smart fella you are.

Yeah..........you'll really show Him who's boss then, won't you?

 

[Genesius]

I don't know if "too powerful" is the right term. I've lived 43 years without God so far and I'm doing OK, so I fail to see any demonstrated need for Him.

Oh, this isn't bad. At least you're not as unpleasant as Ossai.

Hmmm. . . gotta try harder.

I hope you won't be too disappointed if you don't find them there, or they'd prefer other company, too.

Well, since they were all unbelievers I'd expect them to be there. Tracking them down, and them letting me hang out are different problems.

Nothing about being an atheist prevents me from considering hypothetical situations. Please allow me to amend my comment to "Assuming your preferred version of God is correct, I think any God who could condemn any of his creation to eternal punishment isn't worthy of my worship."

Sounds to me like you're more angry with God because He didn't set things up the way you'd like, not that you don't believe He exists.

As above.

Hey, if I can come up with a creative way to flip Him off, maybe I'll catch Satan's attention. Get noticed as an up & comer. "Better to rule in Hell. . .", ya know.

Forty-three whole years! My, if you haven't gathered the knowledge and wisdom of the universe by that time, you just haven't been trying.

That doesn't fit the "version" I accept.

As RCC doctrine has written (and I accept), Hell is reserved for those who self-exclude themselves from God.

Like you.

Actually, no; I don't know. Frankly, I know otherwise.

Ever "ruled"? It sucks. I'll pass.

So if you haven’t bought into the god thing, you haven’t pick up any knowledge, like children have that believe in a so-called god with all their years of knowledge.

Paul



That only proves to me that being ignorant is a very dangerous thing. But all you do have to be is ignorant to believe in a god.

 

[Huntster]

Huh?

That only proves to me that being ignorant is a very dangerous thing.

Funny how that proof stuff works around this forum. In one case it's mere evidence, in another case proof isn't squat.

In your case, it's "to me."

But all you do have to be is ignorant to believe in a god.

Actually, since "ignore" is the base for the word "ignorant", it's actually the opposite; ignoring God is "ignorant."

 

[Paulhoff]

You can only ignore something that is.

Gee, I thought you could take a leap of faith on understanding this one.

[Huntster]

You can only ignore something at is.

You can also ignore something because you believe it doesn't exist.

 

[Huntster]

So if you haven’t bought into the god thing, you haven’t pick up any knowledge, like children have that believe in a so-called god with all their years of knowledge.

I have "bought into" God, I have gained some knowledge, and I still accept God like a child, because I have faith. I have faith because I know I will never be presented with proof in this life, I think I understand why, and I accept the possiblity that this is part of spiritual growth that is required for the next life, which is not physical, and is purely spiritual.

Gee, I thought you could take a leap of faith on understanding this one.

It is precisely (and by definition) a lack of understanding which requires either faith or doubt.

 

[Paulhoff]

A big problem with so-called religious people is that they think they see something that you haven’t seen and or can understand, we do understand, but we grew up and went on with our lives.

Paul



I have not see and or heard of any god made by humankind that that comes from the Middle East that is worth the paper and ink wasted on it.

What is it that you understand?

The God of Abraham was not made my humankind. It was the reverse.

 

[Paulhoff]

Apparently you can’t read all that was already written before by us, but we understand your blindness, and the so-called God of Abraham was made by humankind, and has been a burden onto humans ever since.

Funny how that proof stuff works around this forum. In one case it's mere evidence, in another case proof isn't squat. In your case, it's "to me."

That's exactly what he said. He was using the phraise "proves TO ME", because he was not implying any hard evidence or fact. "Proves to me" and "this proves that" are two different things entirely.

Actually, since "ignore" is the base for the word "ignorant", it's actually the opposite; ignoring God is "ignorant."

Let's check out the definition of the word, shall we?

ig*no*rant
–adjective
1. lacking in knowledge or training; unlearned: an ignorant man.
2. lacking knowledge or information as to a particular subject or fact: ignorant of quantum physics.
3. uninformed; unaware.
4. due to or showing lack of knowledge or training: an ignorant statement.

It's ironic that you use the word "ignorant" in your arguments when you're ignorant of what it means. I think you just enjoy fighting with the people on this forum.

 

[Freethinker]

The God of Abraham was not made my humankind. It was the reverse.

And your source for this information is....???
