Challenge to Chico

Chico is loco

[hattra]

YAWN

Their world view was based on faulty logic, and if you pointed out these faults, they would react by either attempting to ignore inconvenient truths, or by becoming extremely aggressive. What was so sad was that they truly believed in what they were saying .....

As I was saying......

[xoggoth]

Irrelevant.

The concept of a creator is probably at least as good a theory as any other explanation for the universe, but if you could prove god exists you would have cleared the least important hurdle.

Secondly, and even more impossible, is showing that god judges us or is even interested in us. Unless he does, his existence or otherwise is no more than an academic debate.

Thirdly, for those in the major religions, you have to prove that yours is the correct one.

Fourthly, for those in formal religions who claim that god is just, you have to prove those who did not have the fortune to be born into it actually have a reasonable opportunity to discover it, otherwise there is no other conclusion but that this is an arbritary god and that salvation is down to luck.

Rubbish. What your so called theory fails to take into account - is that God has made himself to known to us. Just read the Bible.

Names of God

What if they can't read ?

What if they can't read ?

For verily I say unto you, it is harder for an illiterate to enter my kingdom than a guy with a PhD. So at least get some GCSEs even if they've been devalued recently.

Don't worry, if they can't read they will soon be out robbing old ladies. When they get caught and banged up the good old british penal system will introduce them to god ensuring all have a fair chance.

It's the ones that don't get banged up that you have to feel sorry for!!!!

[xoggoth]

There you are, not even any semblance of rational argument. You do not attempt to adress the last point by explaining how, say, a Muslim in Saudi Arabia would have an opportunity to read the bible.You are a total feck* imbecile.
