    Well let's just say you are confused in what you are, in what to believe, or you're just a pathological lying atheist. According to you, you were first a non-believer, then a believer becoming an ordained minister, then a non-believer again because you felt silly preaching what you knew to be untruths and so you walked away.

    Tell me how did you know as you were preaching from Scripture that they were untruths? Do you somehow have access to 100% of all knowledge?

    You can't prove it, and so why did you make a statement like that?

    That's why I can't take you seriously when you made the claim you were once an ordained minister of the faith. It's more likely you have been an atheist all your life.

    What you should have said which would have been more believable is that you lost your faith in the religion because you just couldn't believe it anymore and not that you knew of untruths that made you feel silly preaching.

    It really doesn't matter to me what you are but if you are going to talk about yourself can you at least keep it honest and believable. I respect people a whole lot when they can at least be honest with others on forums such as we have here at the PF regardless on where one stands as far as religion is concerned.

    I don't think I'll be taking honesty lessons from you.
    Everything I have said is absolutely true.
    I have never spoken about my past unless asked in a relevant context.
    Your curiosity isn't one. You have made completely unfounded accusations made up from hatred and hot air.
    You are an embarrassment to every believer that seeks credibility.
    Shame on you.

    Of course. I have never seen him/her/it/they. It/them/he/she has never visited/talked/IM or anything to anyone that I know. It's been 2000 yrs since the last contact with man happened(maybe).
    I've not seen santa clause, easter bunny, tooth fairy, I don't believe them either.
    But maybe there is a creator, I just don't know about the bible story and the exclusion of more than 2/3 or his creation from eternal bliss. My God isn't so cruel.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    FYI santa, the easter bunny, the tooth fairy are understood by most of us (but I guess not the uninformed such as yourself) as being fictional, made up....they are not real dairyair.

    Speaking about the 2/3 that are excluded from eternal bliss, they put themselves there, they exclude themselves and so you can't blame God.

    God has given every single one of us a chance for eternal bliss, the ones who don't believe in it, reject Jesus Christ as their Lord Savior don't get this eternal bliss.

    They get puished for their sins and it's a fact we are all sinners every single one of us but the sinners who ask for forgiveness of their sins, accepts Jesus Christ as their Lord Savior include themselves into this eternal bliss.

    That was a direct response to Freedom Seeker claiming that in order to leave the faith one had to be beaten up about it. He was defending himself for his gestapo tactics in relating to believers. I was showing him that didn't have to be the case.
    The sad thing about this is my post was defending you and people with your beliefs from bullies like Freedom Seeker. I was trying to show him that there was a different way to relate to people of faith.
    What a shame you couldn't see that.
    It is very telling that in trying to prove your case you left out the post I was responding to, and our whole discussion was about when I brought up my past and why. I said it was always in response. You didn't have the courage to cite the post I responded to.
    By calling him "my buddy" you show a complete ignorance of my relationship with him. I have spent most of my time showing his poor argumentation skills and even worse grasp of logic. I am not a fan of FS. You simply aren't paying attention.
    Are you proud of your work here?

    If you preach that there a was a world wide flood you are preaching untruth, aka lies.

    Floods leave a foot print that can be measured by geologists.

    There was NO world wide flood.

    Jericho is 820 feet below sea level and has NEVER been flooded.. Its also 11,000 years old.

    Do you feel free to say it did happen, even tho there is not one speck of evidence that it did?
    How does this work?

    You can says that Obama is a goblin from Mars until you are satisfied with the proof that he aint?

    And god will be fine with it as long as you aint satisfied with the proof?

    You get to define "absolute" any way you like, of course, and that excuses wholesale spreading of falsehoods, to your satisfaction, apparently.

    The level of no-flood proof is equivalent to the proof that no million-strong buffalo herd went thro your house
    this morning.

    But if that fact, that there was no buffalo, is just not going to be absolute enough if it looks to you as if the bible said there were buffalo.

    There was no flood, and you are lying every time you say there was.

    The polar ice is a lot older than that, and no flood floated it away

    Yes there does exist absolute proof to debunk the notion of a worldwide flood during that time-span and we call it the worldwide geological record.

    Maybe you should learn to read.

    As for the rest of the garbage post. I sent it to the recycle bin.

    Oh well I respect the right for alternative-universe fans to indulge in their fantasies but if they are going to argue logic against logic then they have to explain why geologically based evidence is wrong in regards to the Flood Assertion but correct enough in all other areas of science to serve as predictive models. Now if they are going to bypass logic altogether then they need to stipulate what will substitute for logic . . . and if it's BELIEF alone then they have to explain why even the Catholic Church embraced logic as the basis of theological arguments early on and then included math and science [Jesuits] in a timely manner.

    It's true Jericho is 820 ft. below sea level but to say it has never been flooded is not a factual statement. There is no where on God's earth that one can confidently say, this place has never been flooded.

    There is confusion and falsehood enough in the rest of your post but lets just look at this one in bold.
    It is a falsehood, nonsense.
    So is saying that nothing has absolutely been proved. The flood has been proved not to have happened.
    But, I know your fantasy is central to your sense of self, so keep it. If you find there is a god, you will get your reward for your deceit and negligence then.
