My challenge to atheists.

[1inChrist]

I have a challenge for atheists.

Sit in a room alone and clear your mind. Get down on your knees and pray to God for at least 10 minutes. Connect with Him. Tell Him why you don't believe. Tell Him what prevents you from accepting His Son's sacrifice. Ask Him to show you that He exists. Tell Him that you are ready to be shown that He exists and that He loves you. Now close your eyes and wait for Him to give you the signs.

I think you'll be surprised.

 

[Nyarlathotep]

I'll do it if you promise to sit down in a quiet room for 10 minutes and explain to Santa why you don't beleive in him. Maybe even write it down as a letter and send it to him at he North Pole.

I think you'll be surprised at the results.

 

[ma1ic3]

Ok done.

Waiting.......

 

[Beleth]

I have, and I wasn't.


God knows what sign I am looking for.

 

[patcall]

Water to wine.

I tried to get god to change a glass of water to wine. No luck.

Incase anyone is wondering how I made that post just 6 minutes later even though it is a 10 minute exercise, Im actually moving near the speed of light right now and the time dilation allowed me to fit in a few extra minutes.

Lets just say that considering what the bible claims is gods history of signs this may not be a great idea.

How can I sit down and tell someone who I don't believe to exist that I don't believe he exists?

This will be amusing...praying to a deity you don't believe in, and then expecting results.

2.54cmC, try this:

Sit in a room alone and clear your mind. Sit down on your chair and think about reality for at least 10 minutes. Connect with it. Tell yourself why you don't believe in it. Tell yourself what prevents you from accepting reality as it exists. Ask yourself to accept that reality exists. Tell yourself that you are ready to be shown that reality exists and that it exists despite what you believe of it. Now open your eyes and look for reality to give you the signs.

M'kay?

LOL

Even when I was a xtian I had a hard enough time talking to him without feeling like Im talking to myself.

I practised Buddhist meditation, this is a lot more difficult that you think.

Well, maybe it isn't for you...

Get down on your knees and pray to God for at least 10 minutes.

At one time I prayed fervently for hours on end. I once studied to become a Methodist minister. Never got any kind of a "sign" that wasn't highly ambiguous and didn't rely on healthy doses of interpretation by me to "mean" anything.

Connect with Him.

Connect with what? There's nothing there.

Tell Him why you don't believe.

If there was a god, why wouldn't he know already? Anyway, the biggest reason I don't believe is his consistant and persistent absence.

Tell Him what prevents you from accepting His Son's sacrifice.

See above. No god, no son. As real both of them as the Tin Woodsman.

Besides, even if they were real... what sacrifice? A half-day's pain and three days logged off? I've had worse with just the ten kidney stones. Let's see Jesus piss gravel and I'll be impressed. In fact, make that my "sign". You deliver one resurrected son of god and have him piss bloody, pussy gravel in a bedpan for me and I'll sign up.

Ask Him to show you that He exists.

Been asking for years. Here, I'll do it again: GOD, JESUS, WHOEVER: SHOW ME YOU EXIST!

No answer. You try it.

Tell Him that you are ready to be shown that He exists and that He loves you.

I don't roll like that. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Now close your eyes and wait for Him to give you the signs. I think you'll be surprised.

If I close my eyes, how will I see him piss gravel in a bedpan?

Wait a minute: "Get down on your knees and close your eyes and you will get a big surprise?" I've heard of that trick. It's already been established that god is a pervert- I'm not falling for that.

Sick fscker, that Jesus.

What's "God?"

 

[patcall]

I prayed that 1inC would answer some of these questions. Does he ever?

 

[Lisa Simpson]

I prayed to get a plate of tacos so I wouldn't have to cook dinner.

No tacos.

Sigh.

I actually tried this... down on my knees... darkened room "Oh God!" I cried, "Oh God... God... Come to me God, Come to me, come... God, oh God, God, oh Jesus, Jesus CHRIST!" And yes, I did indeed see signs, all kinds of fireworks seemed to be going off behind my by now screwed up tight eyelids.
Was I surprised? Not as much as God was... he came to see what all the fuss I was making was about. Right in the eye, it hit him. He seemed pretty upset about that, but I asked him why he wasn't prepared to accept my sacrifice of protein and zinc (amongst other things) to him. Nor could he understand when I explained that it was showing how much I loved him... Nor that I'd gotten such good advice from you, 1inChristsEye. God got into such a strop, that he left the house slamming all doors, and screaming to me that he never intended to manifest on this sinful planet again, and when he got ahold of you, he was going to roast you in the fires of HELL for encouraging such blasphemies.
It's another fine mess you've gotten us into, 1inChristley! Now come here and help me clean some of it up, won't you?

 

[Ipecac]

How many millions have been praying for Terri Schiavo? (Hopefully they're praying for her to be restored to health rather than just to have the feeding tube restored.)

Has it worked? Does God not answer prayers?

 

[uruk]

I have a challenge for atheists......

Been there. Done that.
Many times in my youth I have tried it. So far there has been no reply. Heck, I was even an altar boy! (I don't recall being molested by any priest though.....except maybe for that one Altar boy football game where the priest was an ex-NFL player. there was quite alot of but slapping going on.....hmmm)

 

[uruk]

No tacos.

Sigh.

Doesn't it say in the bible "the lord helps those who help themselves"?

So help yourself to some to some tacos.

God doesn't fall for cheap tricks like that, He invented relativity. It's in the Bible. Really.

If "God" wants to prove himself to me, then I demand tacos. Sure, I can make them myself, but where's the miracle in that?
