You study philosophical ideologies in philosophy and political theory in politics, etc. The important thing to recognize is that your theory or understanding of God transcends all these fields and often influences your philosophy of life and politics. I know you like to pretend that God is not real, but how one views God or if one does not believe in God, makes a huge difference in everything that person thinks. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

So you merely pretend unicorns are not real? Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

I don't know what you mean, I never pray. I would like evidence that praying for sick people makes them well, as Jesus promised. So far it's no better than random in studies. It seems to have no effect at all. It's like you buy a car that the salesman says will last 400K miles, never break down, and get 50 MPG. When it does none of those things, you just shrug your shoulders and remain hopeful. Jesus the salesman made lots of promises and seems to have kept none of them. Shall I post the list again? The only conclusion to draw is the obvious one. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

As opposed to those who pretend he is real? Only one side is pretending, your side. I'm waiting for actual evidence, then I'll think about considering if god is real or not. It does make a huge difference in how we think. Atheists are free of the burden of worrying all day if their actions and thoughts are offending god or not. It never crosses my mind. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

It would be nice if he would show up and let us know who's religion is right. The benefits to all of humanity knowing that would be huge. "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." Daniel Patrick Moynihan |

According to the faithful of every faith, he's already done that. He told Abraham and Moses, according to Judaism. He sent Jesus/himself down according to Christianity. He told Muhammad according to Islam. He told Joseph Smith according to Mormonism. I'm sure every cult leader since also got the word as well. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

Yup. Every religion says god is tired of telling us, tired of us of little faith. Tired of the non believers. Whatever.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Do you really think that this is the experience of billions of Christians? As you like to say, "if what you say is true there would be no Christians." The only conclusion I can draw is your conception of prayer is so shallow that you cannot understand. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

The only side that has no evidence whatsoever is atheism. I have given you a list of evidence that you have not refuted so you can go back and look that up again.
A fact played out throughout the bloodiest century in human history at the hands of atheists. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

You want to know what I really think? I think most Christians are living vicariously off the experiences of other Christians. Who are themselves living vicariously off the non existent experiences of still other Christians. It's a vicious circle with darn few real 'experiences' to feed on. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
