Brave lad posting that here...

I think we're going to see more of this. People speaking out in favor of secular thinking.

I love it. It's not an attack on christianity. I align with everything he says, we just fall on opposite sides of the "Does God exist" question. Honestly, this is the best i've ever read. He did it right.

It's funny because the third largest religion is "None of The Above."

I don't know about brave, everyone knows I'm an agnostic who believes organized religion can be used by evil or complacent people for nefarious purposes. But if Jesus appears on Leno tomorrow I will repent.

If Jesus appears on Leno I'll wonder who slipped me the acid.

Then I'll wonder why Jesus' agent couldn't get him on Letterman.

All group think can be used for nefarious purpose.

Jesus will be back, and it will be too late to say ... oh sh*t I was wrong.

and then again maybe NOT

It'll also be too late for my dark side to say ...

I told you so.

If God is real answer these questions please:

You'll find the truth soon enough.

Hey, I'm asking. If you're so right just answer the questions on the site and I'll be right with you.

Someone spent an awful lot of time and energy to support their atheist beliefs, when all they had to do was repeat this simple truth: It's not known (and most likely not knowable) if God exists. Period.

This is what bugs me about extremists. They will go to any length to validate their point of view. If religious people want to believe and have faith, what does it hurt? Yes some people twist other people's faith for profit or power. But the average religious person does not want to harm anyone and wants peace. These are good virtues. The problem then becomes identifying those malicious individuals who would take advantage of those of faith or use their power to persecute and harm people of other faiths. This includes priests who molest altar boys, Muslim terrorists, hypocrite Neo Cons and others. These people are the world's true enemy.

I would also point out to atheists that is entirely possible that a supreme being did in fact create the universe but is somehow outside of it and unable to communicate with us, or us with Him. Again, not knowable, which make arguing about this subject interesting but ultimately pointless.

I'm just the sower of seeds my man. The Holy Spirit grow the faith, if the soil is fertile. If the seed fall on the rocks, it will not take root. In the poor soil strangled by the thorns.

( Read the parable of the farmer )

Too think I would even waste my time with such ?

Displays little knowledge of the basic premises of the Great Commission.

Not surprisingly though. I find even most Christians don't understand it.
