    When Falwell says he talked to God he doesn't mean it literally in the sense that God is talking back to him like two people having a normal conversation...lol

    He means it through prayer. This also goes for the man holding up a sign. So not only the man holding the sign is not crazy but Falwell as well.

    Drake, please stop saying that you KNOW that god is good or that you KNOW anything at all.  The point is you KNOW NOTHING.  Nobody KNOWS anything.  And dont post some BS scripture that shows how you KNOW anything.  The truth is no one KNOWS anything, because no one can KNOW.  All you have is what you THINK is right...  That you can not disprove...  And I'm not claiming I know anything either.  The fact of the matter is that NOBODY KNOWS ANYTHING...  If you can't at least admit that, then I'm done here...

    Do you really think that I care to appease you at all? You got to be kidding me...lol

    Go ahead and stop coming to this thread, do you think it matters to me?...lol

     You're just another defeated non-believer if you do that.

     I'll say it a million, trillion times whatever it takes until my last dying breath here on earth.

    God Almighty is and will always be good!!!

    Well, and fine, keep trumpeting your belief in a gambling forum. This in no way disproves, or proves the existence of gods. Which was kind of the point of the discussion.

    Not how much you will parrot improbable ideas when presented with thoughtful arguments grounded in basic logic. Stating something over, and over again does not make it true. It just makes you a close minded idiot.

    And back to the point of this thread, what Jesus did is no more remarkable than any other human being who has put his/her life on the line against state terror, for the good of others.
    I'd rather be playing D&D.

    I love all this mutual cock-sucking by the bible thumpers. Great verse, what a parable you quoted, awesome tale of his glory!

    Well, we know you can all read. It is in the comprehension department you people utterly lack.

    Thread started out that Jesus' act was no big deal, and the bible thumpers can only say "i believe". That's fine, bring something else to the argument then your most fervent fantasy...

    The community of open minds can bring forth plenty of hard scientific data on the common questions of where we come from, and where we are going.

    SJD and Rostos only bring forth passages from a book of fable. So shut up about your belief, and come argue the points; no evidence of god, and jesus' act was no more remarkable then the millions of people before, and after who have died at the hands of the state protesting essentially civil rights violations. Or more to the point, putting yourself on the line for ethical reasons.

    Drake,

    Specifically, what will heaven be like? Are there different levels of heaven? Is heaven racially segregated? Is your soul aware of what your body was when you were on Earth?

    Just curious, not judging...

    This is the biggest cop out, and demonstrates a complete lack of intellectual courage.

    I also call complete bullshit on the can't be proven statement.

    This statement is in no way true. Human beings have demonstrated again, and again we can puzzle out just about anything through the empirical method.

    She doesn't. Tornadoes, tsunamis, etc. are all natural, and the physics, and reason for them are well understood. And none of these occurrences asked to be allowed to happen. They happened due to well known cause, and effect relationships which can all be measured, and verified.

    Is this the same type of argument you use with the banker when getting a loan?

Loathsome behavior does prove two thing right up front; People are capable, and willing of loathsome behavior, and that people are routinely hypocrites.

    Right, and time and time again atheists conviniently bring up the behaviour of SOME priests and try to somehow imply this in there argument of atheism, yet by pass several people in all walks of life that are pedophiles. Hypocrisy at its best,

    Ok Mr know it all.

    Answer these for me.

    Suppose i have a gambling debt of $50,000, can you pay it off for me?

    Actually, never mind that. The bookmaker said, he doesnt the money, what he wants is your life. He said if he tortures you, then nails you to cross and you eventually die, he will forgive my debt. Will you do this for me? After all, apparently it is nothing to give up your life for someone else, so can you do this for me?

    We see people go into war to protect there country, yes that is great, but lets not forget that these GET PAID for there services and these people also KILL others to protect to there country. Furthermore, these people are for the most part RESPECTED and HONOURED in various ceremonies , so there is a level of pride associated with such a thing.

    I am not devaluing the job the army does, but simply stating the facts.

    Many people outside of the army and war war also put there body on the lives for others, mainly family due to a mutual love they have for each other.

    But also strangers, remember strangers who do not even know each other, however, in this particular case , it is the support of a fellow human being.

    What makes Jesus' even more remarkable, how many people would give up there life being tortured and nailed to a cross as a sacrifice for people who spat on him, laughed at him, mocked him and swore against him?

    Getting back to the example of the gambling debt, there is no way on earth ANYONE would take up the offer of the bookmaker, would you take up the offer if i swore at you, spat on you, laughed at you and mocked you in front of hundreds of people, would you still give up your life to pay off my debt?

    And you have the ordasity to say it was nothing special of what Jesus did. Jesus didnt get paid for it which people in the army do. Jesus didnt get greeted, honoured and recognized like people in the army do, Jesus didnt recieve benefits like people in the army do. In fact it was in complete contrast. To give up your life for people who laugh, spit on you and mock you, and it is nothing special? Name me ANYONE ELSE who has done this.

    Are you kidding me?!? That is the worst comparison you could possibly make... You're comparing forgiving debt to forgiving sins?!? You are 100% wrong here... That comparison is completely asinine... If you told me that I could be tortured and killed to save everyone and then go to heaven I wouldn't even hesitate... It's a disgrace that you compare that to a $50,000 debt...

    Sin is DEBT. Debteness to GOD.

    Yeah, easy for you to say you would, even if i told you the people you save will spit in your face, laugh at you, compare you to Santa Claus, deny you even existed, dont even take up your offer to believe in you??

    You wont even give up the pleasures of your own life to save your own life, yet you are going to give up your life for others that hate you?

    How can someone not even save there own life by giving up there pleasures they enjoy, not life, but pleasures, yet you say you will give up your life for others? Do you know how ridicolous you sound?
