I'm sure you have proof of all that, since you seem intent upon reality.....

feel free to pick up the argument then......all he cares to say is that he doesn't believe things......

do they disagree on the issue of the deity of Christ?.........
It's simply an acknowledgment that we don't know anything about any of those planets. Quite a bit different from an omnipotent and omnipresent god who supposedly intervenes in human affairs.
I'm referring to the reality that is all around us, the actual physical universe, the planet Earth and the people who inhabit it.
God was invented out of ignorance.

what a coincidence......that's the one I use.........why don't you see it as clearly as we do?.....

I look forward to your proof.....

faith......the belief in things which cannot be proved......perhaps you have heard of it?......
IOW, He's looking for gullible tools. I'm reminded of Keith Laumer's "A Plague of Demons".
The passage was John 3:16..."For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." which you insisted did not mean what it says. I see that so often from believers, who insist that the Bible has to mean what they want it to mean, instead of what it actually says.
The proof is simply the complete and total lack of any proof in support of religious faith.
Some do, yes.
You don't see reality. You see what you wish was reality.
What I was talking about was based on observed facts. No faith required.
Back in those days, the Senate voted for the divinity of Julius Caesar. It seems a bit silly to be arguing about such stuff as if we lived back then. Real discussion: Julius Caesar was a mass murderer and war criminal, Jesus of Nazareth a model of how to behave. If we spent more time on that sort of question we might perhaps get somewhere.
You are supposing gods have to be "omnipotent" "omnipresent" and "intervening."
No need to make those assumptions.
If you are saying you can show that NO GODS EXIST...or IT IS MORE LIKELY THAT NO GODS EXIST THAN AT LEAST ONE CAN...
...using logic, reason, science, or math...do so.
I will give it consideration...and I promise you, if I find it compelling, I will acknowledge you have done it.
Excellent point...although peripheral to the discussion.
I must agree that Jesus had incredible ideas of how to behave and conduct one's self. Outside of the "love GOD" bit...I feel his advise is outstanding. I only wish more Christians felt that way.
