ROFL!!!!!
Is it real? The guys is soooooooo creative! I posted it at my fun collection @ 9GAG.
Wow, once again a person who has never truly put their faith and hope in God, especially while reading the Bible, has made an ignorant statement about His word. I will pray that God will truly show Himself to this person in a way that is undeniable as He has done for me time and time again.
LMFAO. texan you’re such a funny person. I pray that your God will make you give me a macbook pro, then.
“I will pray that God will truly show Himself to this person in a way that is undeniable as He has done for me time and time again.”
Go ahead and pray that for all of us. If God would just show himself in an undeniable way, then faith would no longer be required…
“If God would just show himself in an undeniable way, then faith would no longer be required…”
Yes, and that is the key flaw with religion: It requires BLIND faith. And yes, it is blind faith, whether or not you accept that it is. There is absolutely no way to prove anything in the Bible… not a single goddamn way to prove that book is correct, and the Koran and other “holy books” are false.
The fallacy of religion is putting faith in your own faith, so to speak, and closing your mind to all else. If you would just stop for a minute and open your eyes, you would see that nearly all religions are the same as yours…
And, you would also see how foolish you look.
If God exists, then I am wrong, and I will be going to hell, along with the majority of the population of Earth. Hell is gonna be pretty bitchin…
“Yes, and that is the key flaw with religion: It requires BLIND faith. And yes, it is blind faith, whether or not you accept that it is.

What -doesn’t- require some measure of blind faith?
Science does the same thing the “holy books” do. It claims its own veracity above everything else, and its followers claim that it can explain everything despite the fact that, like the “holy books,” it’s still all based on what humanity has -observed-. Neither school of thought is more or less credible than the other.
The fallacy of both is the blind, narrow-minded devotion of its followers.
A Christian would believe you’re stupid to think God isn’t real. You’d think a Christian is stupid to think He is. You observed one thing, he observed another. You both think the other’s wrong. It’s like a debate over gender superiority.
You’re both stupid.

A Christian does not observe anything. A Christian wants to run away from the harsh realities of life and death by putting their faith in something the way a child pretends his story book is real when they don’t like what is going on around them. (You can replace “Christian” with Jew, Muslim, Hindu, etc…)
A non religious person observes the truth - accepting reality and not running away from it.
That’s a largely ignorant point of view to take.
Everyone lives off of what they have observed. Observation itself is the very foundation of religion (a classification atheists–secular humanists–would shudder to acknowledge, though they’re just as religious as everyone else).
Every belief system is based on how they want to explain observed phenomena. No two people ever see the exact same thing, but they might find someone else with whom they can agree on a–key word–relatively plausible explanation as to why or how said phenomena occurred.
If I saw someone pray for money and get it, I would find reason to get on that train. I observe a phenomena, find a relatively plausible reason as to how it happened, and I chase it. Common sense. There are countless people throughout the ages who claim to have seen signs and wonders that are beyond explanation. Meanwhile, an “atheist” may see the same thing, come up with a different conclusion, and chase that instead. Two different people are seeing two different things and explaining it two different ways based on what they’re observing.
Theists observe the abundance of evidence. Atheists observe the lack of it. Neither of them have any semblance of a grasp on reality. They simply observe, conclude, and make up their own. Whatever it is, it’s always real to somebody.
You don’t believe it. THAT is why YOU fail.
