During an impassioned sermon about death and final judgement, the pastor said forcefully, "Each member of this church is going to die and face judgement." Glancing down at the front pew, he noticed a man with a big smile on his face - the man was called Nailit. The minister repeated his point louder. "Each member of this church is going to die and face...

Theland, //Naomi, I'm never stuck for s response to you, my only problem is a lack of stamina replying to your empty rants.//
Not so. The post you deemed a rant told the real story - something clearly not to your taste.
Ps. The last word thing was always something designed to silence the opposition and it’s way past its sell-by date. You need to re-examine your penchant for spite because it’s exposing your nastiness. Try something else.

//Where all Christians slip up is when they develop an undeserved sense of superiority over people who don't believe as they do, including atheists like me// No, Andy, this is leaping to yet another unfounded and illogical conclusion. More enlightened perhaps, okay, but superior, not at all. I dont know what way you imagine I view you as somehow inferior? That appears to be based on complete assumption, bigotry and a denial of facts. We all have access to what is on offer, and free choice whether to accept or reject God. You choose.
Spungle, //No, Andy, this is leaping to yet another unfounded and illogical conclusion. More enlightened perhaps, okay…//
That last sentence is illogical and unfounded in itself. Why do you think you’re more enlightened? I could give you several examples that claim the existence of creator Gods. Why don’t you believe those - or haven’t you investigated them because you think you have the answer already? Do you ever actually read what you’ve written - or understand what you’re reading - and question your claims?
//We all have access to what is on offer//
That^ is the only truth in the whole of your post. We do indeed and some of us recognise the contradictions and the faults and question them. Try it.
You too,Theland. You must have noticed the number of times you dismiss or ignore rational argument.

D Morgans - if you are satisfied with infinite regression as opposed to a First Cause, then just think, time itself would be infinite,and so today has not yet arrived!
Crazy stuff man!
But if you agree with a beginning, then there has to be a first cause, a creator of physical laws, and something for those laws to act upon.
And consider this. If God created man, with only his five senses, who is to say that God left the detection and interaction with the spirit world, only to those who are prepared to look, and are endowed with the humility to acknowledge a power higher than themselves.
This is at least plausible, and provides the possibility of a meaningful dialogue.

The inbuilt sense of pity combined with arrogance that comes with being a fervent Christian on this site is so natural to you that you don;t even see that you are exercising it in the very sentence you are writing to deny it.
"More enlightened perhaps ..."?
How dare you.
You have less that no idea of how 'enlightened' I may or may not be so don't you dare patronise me with your "I actually know better than you so I can talk down to you as though you are a slightly stupid child who will understand one day ..." attitude so beloved of all the fervents on here.
You have been on this site for a couple of years, I have been here for over twenty, and when you have been patronised and insulted as many times as I have by your fellow believers, you will understand why my attitude, and that of other regulars, is as it is.
In the mean time, if you want to come back and tell me that you have 'something I need ...' then please save us both the time.
I know what you think you have, and I do not need it.

drmorgans - // Personally I don't believe in god but I can offer no explanation of how the universe began. //
An attitude I can entirely concur with.
It certainly beats "Well there isn't a scientific answer so it must be God that did it ... " which is the tiresome mantra we get from the fervents day in and day out on here.
There was a time when there was no proof that the earth is round, it was simply a belief.
Science will find an answer to the beginnings of the universe, not in my lifetime, but it will.

Andy, I don't think that the world being round was ever a 'belief'; the idea came from speculation which led to a theory that a round earth would fit in with observations about ships dipping below the horizon, and the shape of lunar eclipses. There were never any religious dogmas about a round earth, just theories which eventualaly stood the test of time.
