You are one confused individual. The fact that you could be wrong really should shape you into a believer, especially if you were logically trying to choose the best path in life to take.
Remember, exegesis and eisegesis are not the same thing. You are guilty of the latter and should try to honestly practice the former.
I cheer for your selection of the theme song “Free WIll” by Rush. :)
wooo rush
It just appalls me that this is even a debate who the fuck has ever in the history of ever has had any experience with any space daddy people on this planet are useless

@supersach123 Yes there are many things beyond our perception.
However Technological Advancements thru Science have expanded Our Ability to perceive Observations & Continually test Laws in an attempt to explain.
Scientific theories are supported by continual testing in an attempt to explain Laws.
Creationism is NOT supported by anything accept faith & scripture !
@supersach123 Based on what You have written You would call me an Agnostic Atheist. I question any god’s existence because there isn’t Verifiable Factual Proof. Therefor I choose NOT to believe.
You said atheists should not try to justify their beliefs in Science.
Atheists are not trying to prove a god does not exist.
They question theistic claims that a god exists.
How should theists try to justify their absolute belief in creationism to atheists ?
Can creationism be scientifically supported ?
@1954phyllis Only stupid people believe something with absolute certainty when there ISN’T ANY VERIFIABLE FACTUAL PROOF to support it !
Atheists are NOT trying to take your or anyone’s rights away !
Questioning your beliefs is NOT attempting to take your rights away.
Why CAN’T provide proof to support Your belief ?
Scripture is NOT proof !
Believing is NOT Proof !
Learn how to QUESTION before Accepting !
You will be better off IF You do !
@tranquility4all You are the one that is willfully ignorant. Only fools believe that there is no GOD. Dont you know that it took a Supreme Being to create all of creation. Why do atheists continually try to take Christians rights away? It is none of their business if we choose to believe in GOD. You believe what you want to and I will continually believe in GOD.
@tranquility4all “The fool has said in his heart, There is no GOD. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquitY: there is none that doeth good. ” Psalm 53:1
Yes I believe that GOD exists. Why do you think He doesn’t exist just because you cant see Him.? No man can stand in the presence of GOD and live. Well actually if you believe in a fire breathing dragon then that is your chose. It is my chose to believe in GOD. If there wasnt a GOD then we wouldnt be here.
@1954phyllis Willful IGNORANCE !
Maybe people of faith should stop shoving their imaginary gods down societies throat ! I asked for proof & all You can provide is You know he has everything in control & You choose to believe in him. Blind faith is NOT VERIFIABLE FACTUAL PROOF !
How do You know Your imaginary god’s gender ? Did You meet him or her ?
Atheists don’t claim with absolute certitude that a god does NOT exist.
We QUESTION theists’ claims that a god exists !
PEACE !
@1954phyllis You’re STUPID to suggest i hate a god whose existence I question.
Because You’re the one who believes with absolute certainty a god exists, The burden of proof is yours to provide Verifiable Factual Proof to support Your belief.
If I told You I believe Fire Breathing Dragons exist Would the burden of proof be on You to prove it doesn’t? Or would the burden of proof be on me to prove it does exist ?
Learn how to QUESTION Your beliefs instead of accepting them based on blind faith &
@tranquility4all Yes a Supreme Being does exist. He is all powerful, all knowing. His knowlege is beyond mankind’s. He was able to create all things by just speaking it into existence. Why dont you porve to me that He doesnt exist. I happen to know that He is alive because I know that He has everything in control. I’ll believe in HIm because I choose to. Why dont you and other GOD haters stop shoving your godless agenda down our throats.
@1954phyllis If it’s obvious that a supreme being exists,Then You should have NO problem providing plenty of Verifiable Factual Proof (NOT the bible) to prove it’s existence !
@1954phyllis Support your claim with evidence.
@1954phyllis How is it obvious? (Let me guess: beauty in nature?)
Ah nuts! They ended it before the caller said he was going to punch Matt’s head in for Jesus. That’s the best part!
Atheism is so stupid. They might call Christians retards but its obvious that a Supreme Being created all things.
lol he said “gnostic-theists” claim that they don’t believe there is a God and know that there is no God It should’ve been “gnostic-Atheists” lol
@supersach123
so atheists shouldn’t try to justify their BELIEFS using science which is what they usually do & unfortunately often get away with Science is agnostic NOT atheist for a reason {6}
@supersach123
which makes it IMPOSSIBLE for us to claim as to what MAY or MAY NOT lie beyond the impenetrable boundaries of our senses & perception & hence saying that Creator can’t exist just because WE haven’t found any evidence of him/her/it is very very arrogant, anthropocentric, illlogical not to mention stupid position to take on this issue, it COULD BE (possibility, no certainty) that Creator is beyond our senory perception & that’s where atheism becomes scientifically insupportable {5}
@supersach123
Now, if an atheist claims that P2 is an impossible scenario ie a God/Creator can’t possibly exist, then he’d've to provide indisputable evidence prove that P1 is the ONLY possibility & since such evidence isn’t available & MAY never be available, being an atheist requires just as much faith as being a theist If we look at modern science, it is obvious that we ONLY perceive what we’re ALLOWED to perceive by our senses & that we all are bound by the limits of our perception {4}
@supersach123
& whether he exists or not has no relevance to me or why the world exists, if I ever happen to see or meet him then I’ll believe he exists, if not then as I said, his existence or lack of it has no relevance When we get down to TRYING to answer the question as to What created the Universe, we realize that there can ONLY be TWO OBVIOUS possibilities P1-Universe was created by NON-CONSCIOUS, random natural processesOR P2-Universe was created by a CONSCIOUS entity/force/whatever {3}
@supersach123
And what’s up with atheists & bigfoots, spaghetti monsters & pixies? You can’t compare them with the greatest question to have ever confronted Man ie how are we & Universe here? That’s a valid question because we SURELY are here, aren’t we? But whether pixies,bigfoots,etc exist or not is a very stupid way countering it For eg if someone asked me if I believe a guy named ABC lives in Estonia or not My answer will be “I don’t know” as I’ve never met him {2}
He’s an idiot When someone says “I’m atheist”, it means he’s SURE there is no God, like being Christian means you’re SUREJesus & God exist, you cant be Christian if you weren’t sure about it The moment you’re NOT SURE, you can’t either be an atheist or theist but you’re only and only an AGNOSTIC Both agnostic-theists & agnostic-atheists are AGNOSTICS He’s agnostic-atheist so calls himself atheist which is stupid because I’m agnostic-theist but it’d be absolutely stupid if someone said I’m theist
