Where did life begin? (Merged)

I was a believer until around a decade ago. I'm now an agnostic atheist.

You are going to trigger some with that

Who knows who is the bigger group of snowflakes, but I have this perception because I know more Christians than non-Christians...the right make a bigger deal about "happy holidays" and "merry Xmas"* than non-Christians do about "merry Christmas".

*which is so stupid because "holiday" = "holy day" and "X" is a sign of the cross, so still religious phrasing.

Friend, what would make you change your mind?

I just wish your kin would stop banging on my door.

Our politacally correct society is trying to kick Jesus out of every public place and would like to kick him out of our country all together. What makes their opinion any better than mine?

The fundamental teaching of the Bible will make every society a better place to live. If rightly divided and obeyed correctly it will make you love God and love your neighbor.
If I love my neighbor right, you won't have to worry about me wronging them. If I stay right with God, I will not commit adultery with their wife or steal anything from them or lie to them. If I obey the clear teachings of the Bible, I will treat them better than I treat myself.
However, such teachings of other religions are not so. some religions teach you that if you don't convert to their religion then they must die. which is wicked idolatry. That teaching lines up with the Satan of the Bible.

I have no idea specifically what would change my mind about God's existence but if he exists he knows exactly what would change my mind.He should be capable of taking the action that would change my mind, and this hasn't happened. So either he doesn't exist or doesn't want me to know he exists yet.

 

[Septic]

The ressurection of Jesus Christ proves that he is who he claims to be is a good start.

Case closed.

I could be wrong but I think it’s “case and point”


I’m probably wrong

I think you may have a false dichotomy there.

So, do you think that God as great as he is, is subject to you? I would be real careful about that.

I honestly didn't know, so I had to check. I had it right.

I’m going to struggle with this as I’ve gotten used to “case and point “. “case in point “ sounds off. I’ll get used to it eventually

Yes

Surprised by this poll. I mistook the majority of you as godless heathens.

Dear unbeliever friends, there is not one person on planet earth that knows everything!
Do you think that it would be possible that God exists in the tremendous amount of things that you don't know about? I have met people that you have never met before! Do you think that it is possible for me to have met our maker and you have not?
I am trying my best to introduce you to him!!! I would be very happy to tell you how you could get to know him better or even at all!

 

[DinkinFlicka]

If you don't receive God's grace and mercy then you will face his wrath. But God is not willing that any perish, that may be why you are reading this thread now, because God is offering you mercy!!!

You're only hurting your cause with this tone. For (the actual) love of God and all that is holy, just hush yourself.

If all the crazies would shut up there'd probably be a lot more converted Christians.

 

[roosterjbh]

I doubt there’s a god, but if there is I really doubt it cares what I think.

I'm still struggling with Webster including 'irregardless'.

No not at all. I'm not trying to mock your beliefs. You asked what would change my mind and I admit that I don't honestly know but an all power God certainly does and he hasn't reveled himself to me. I'm not making any demands whatsoever.

I appreciate your honest answer. I very much want to give you a very honest and fair objective of how I know that God exist.
I didn't know if something horrible happened to make you change your mind or what? I am sorry if I am poking my nose where it don't belong.
