Ah, he's just a soul-vampire. He'll eat your soul raw or scorched, it doesn't matter.
I can supply u with a bunch of good reasons to kiss Hank's ass.
"1.He's real and deserves all the praise and glory"That's only a good reason if there is some credible evidence that God is real... but there isn't any.
"2.He gives us peace. (If we ask for it)"
Prove it. I've asked God for peace, but we don't have peace. Millions and millions of Christians pray for peace every day, but we don't have peace.
"3.If u don't, u'll send urself 2 hell. That can't be 2 pleasant."
That might be a great reason if there was some credible evidence that hell exists. Otherwise, it's just more hot air.
"4.If u do, u'll go to Heaven and get to see Him face to face in all His glory."
Same as hell. No proof of heaven, not even the slightest shred of evidence to show heaven to be anythuing but wishful thinking.
"5.He loves us soooo much."
Except that you haven't shown that God exists. Fictional characters cannot actually love you, Jen.
Theological debate with a fundie: does exist!
But how do you know He exists?
Because He's real.
(BANG!) questioner's head explodes ...
You know, in math, we have what is known as proof by contradiction. We make an assumption, and see where it leads to, eventually reaching a contradiction, which means our original assumption was false.
I hate Spirit Speak with the very depths of my soul. It means that you don't know how to talk to people who don't believe, therefore condescend to them in a bunch of jargon that assumes you're right without question. Talk about missing the point, then pushing people away.
All of your "reasons" presuppose the existence of God, and could equally be applied to Allah, Buddah, and the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Think before you post, please.
Jen, the problem with your answer is that one must already presume your God exists and that your Bible is true; thus, one must already be a member of your religion in order for your answer to apply."lolz u dont no how 2 lojik!!11one! plz stfu kthxbye"
"1.He's real and deserves all the praise and glory"
1.If he's real, why does he make it so hard for people to believe in his existence
1) Reiteration
1. How do you know?
2. Not a good reason.
3. How do you know?
4. How do you know?
5. How do you know?
1.He's real and deserves all the praise and glory
You’ll have to prove that he is real first and then you still have to prove that he deserves praise and glory. The way he is portrayed in the OT doesn’t show much that one could consider praiseworthy.
2.He gives us peace. (If we ask for it)
Bullshit. Anyone caught in a war ever has probably asked for peace and how many have received it?
3.If u don't, u'll send urself 2 hell. That can't be 2 pleasant.
So, it’s blackmail. Tell me again how he “deserves all the praise and glory”.
4.If u do, u'll go to Heaven and get to see Him face to face in all His glory.
Not only blackmail but also bribery. It’s the old “carrot and the stick” tactic.
5.He loves us soooo much.
Yeah, he loves us “soooo much” that he sends us to a place of eternal(!) torture if we do not kiss his ass, with no chance of parole.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
