[Lisa Simpson]

Only assumptions.

Just like all your arguments.

If GOD's message is so clear --- then why are there 34,000 "Christian" churches, each proclaiming a different 'Word of God'?

There are not 34,000 Christian denominations out there. There are true Christians and there pseudo Christians.

 

[Operaider]

This is only an assumption, any evidence?

Any evidence to the contrary?

You’ve yet to prove that it’s real, I don’t need to prove a negative

Oh sure, I make an exception for you, then next thing I know I'm worshipping the IPU, Jimmy Buffett and James Randi. It's gotta stop somewhere.

The IPU and the Polka-Dot Elephant had a debate. Much invisible fur and polka-dotted hide was shed, yet the elephant pulled through in the end, winning the debate - everyone knows the IPU doesn't exist. Now, the polka-dot elephant, on the other hand...

I guess true Scotsmen don't sugar their porridge after all. Sorry Angus.

Atheist doctor Maurice Rawlings scared straight after patients who were clinically dead come back to life screaming about the horrors of Hell.

One minute after death

Don't you think the mind's interpretation of dremas could be a part of it. I mean, whenever I go to sleep thinking about yelling at people I'm angry at, the first dreams I have are me yelling at those people. Couldn't confirmation bias have made these people think they're going to hell?

LSD proves existance of god. I like it

If they are just hallucinations than why does Dr. Maurice Rawlings who used to be a hardcore atheist now believe in Christ because of his patient's NDE's to Hell?

No true scotsman, anyone?

How do you know that your particular church is the "true" church? Are you aware that all 34,000 christian denominations are saying that their particular brand of christianity is the "true" denomination?

 

[1inChrist]

Because there were certain parts that didn't fit well with the rest?
Because there were some parts that they desired to include?
Because they wished to remove inconsistencies?

However you look at it, the bible you worship today is nothing like what was assembled in 200 AD.

These are only assumptions, do you have any evidence?

He obviously wasn't that strong an athiest if he could be swayed by something so simple

Re: Re: Re: Why don't you believe in Hell?

Please tell me you are being sarcastic.

Of course I'm being sarcastic.

But, you must remember, since I don't fear Hell, I could be lying. I like to lie to people, too. Anything evil and base, that's my gig. Yippee-ki-yi-yay, motherer

How am I asking you to prove a negative? You have not yet justified your denial of Hell.

Speaking of being an atheist, are you going to respond to the assertation that you are really an atheist in fundie clothing?

 

[1inChrist]

Are you a doctor? No. I think he knows better than YOU.

I don't need to justify my denial of something you have yet to show any evidence for.

YOU HAVE NO EVIDENCE. SO I DON'T BELIEVE YOU.

simple as that

You realise, of course, you're the only one in here that doesn't find this funny?

I've won this debate.
