Which god?

Yes

LOL - the rumor of God's demise has been great exaggerated. In fact I would be surprised if this present age last 20 more years.

Yes

The gole of Communism is to wipe out God and put Man in his place. This is and always has been the gole of Satan since the begining of time. Of course Satan has and always will fail.

Satan only killed 10 people in the bible and he had to ask god to do it and god said YES.

Your god is a a baby killer.

-2 Samuel 12 18: he kills David’s baby son (baby suffered for 7 days before dying!)
-Exodus:12:29 Kills all the firstborn in Egypt
-In Noah's flood he killed every baby on earth
-Sodom and Gomorrah: He killed every baby in these two cities
-1 Samuel 15:3 He orders genocide including babies
-Miscarriages: These are god's abortions
-2 Kings 2:24: he rips 42 youths apart for teasing a bald man

Not even what I was talking about. I was talking about Satan's attempt to separate Man from God. By raising Man to the level of God.

Who is your God, Satan?

I am a septic. I haven't seen any evidence of a god, so I don't have one yet.

You must mean agnostic. You havn't looked. Do you believe in Good and Evil?

reply
sodabox to Dan (Po... 2012/07/14 21:39:00

I spent 20 years believing with all my heart and it got me no where. I don't believe evil is a "thing", only an adjective.

Ah so you got disillusioned. What did you expect from beleiving in God?

reply
sodabox to Dan (Po... 2012/07/15 02:13:39

I expected a sign, some kind of evidence that he was there. Never saw any.

Dan (Po... to sodabox 2012/07/15 12:43:58

You didn't look in the right place and maybe expected to much. It's the little things that you didn't look at. Sorry for your dis-illusionment. God is within each of us. This you will have to find out for yourself.

It was little things I was looking for. Now I am grown up and I see that you can't even detect the smallest hit of god in things like statistics. For example, christians get sick and die just as much as others. They get hurt during disasters just as much. The go to jail and get divorced just as much.

I am not an atheist. I am a skeptic, which is the logical and open minded way to be. Accepting any god on faith alone is to be close minded to other possibilities.

reply
Dan (Po... to sodabox 2012/07/15 13:32:51

Yes, and a logical argument. No doubt there are those that will beleive anything. Now I listened you your video so I will ask you to look at this site and read this case about demonic possesion and I ask. How can there be demons but no God?

That website is not proof of demons. Sorry. Even if there were demons, they could be from some other religion, almost every religion has demons.

reply
Dan (Po... to sodabox 2012/07/16 01:23:11

So Emily Rose speaking in a language that has been long dead. Eating flies, spiders, destroying religious symbols. Self mutilation. Her predicting her own death. None of that is proof of a possession? How about the witnesses? Was that a figment of their imagination also?

If it isn't repeatable then it is crap.

Dan (Po... to sodabox 2012/07/16 23:40:41

Sorry, I don't understand your reply. It is a true story and the people involved went to trial for here death.
There are many examples of possessions this is just one. How can you just dismiss this? You seem to be in denial.

Sorry, type-o

Dan (Po... to sodabox 2012/07/17 02:19:07

It here are many cases of possessions. This is one of the last cases of an exorcism. The church has raised the bar because there are to many cases. Evil is on the rise in the World. Due to mans immorality and turning away from God. I can however site many more cases. But I think you can do that on your own.
Satan is real and his goal is to separate man from God. I pray for you and those like you that have turned away. God Bless.

sodabox to Dan (Po... 2012/07/17 03:28:39 (edited)

There are cases of people saying they were abducted by aliens. That mean it's true? Nope. People say they saw Bigfoot. That mean it's true? Nope. Some people in India claim to be born of a virgin. True? Nope.

Again, even if there are demons they could be non-bible demons, every religion has them.

reply
Dan (Po... to sodabox 2012/07/17 07:10:12

In this particular case I sited. You are ignoring the witnesses. Also, what illness causes one to speak in a dead language?
Demons do not have to go by anything in the bible. In fact. Demons can take many forms they attack through a persons beliefs. Any religion anywhere on earth. They are not limited in that regard.

reply
sodabox to Dan (Po... 2012/07/17 17:20:04

Ignoring the witnesses? The people that say they saw Bigfoot ARE witnesses! Get your head on straight.

reply
Dan (Po... to sodabox 2012/07/17 17:41:59

Ok, you are either in denial or you didn't even read the story. Either way, I know for a fact these things exist. I myself have seen it.
I don't think anything I show you will convince you. No wonder you turned your back on God. I will pray for your eternal soul. Sorry

reply
sodabox to Dan (Po... 2012/07/18 17:04:26

Oh you can convince me easy: just show me repeatable evidence. Something I could do my self to show demons are real. This is how since works. If you can't show how you got your results and other people can't reproduce your results then you have nothing.

Dan (Po... to sodabox 2012/07/18 21:10:01 (edited)

Well all I can do is show youtube videos and sites. I really do not think you are ready anyway and I will not try to force you. You have a nice day.

Oh and to answer your question. God has always existed and will forever exist.

"God has always existed and will forever exist." You are pulling that out of thin air. You have nothing to back that up. You might as well said we are just living inside a computer program or unicorns are hollow.

It is sad you don't see the need for repeatable evidence.

reply
Dan (Po... to sodabox 2012/07/19 00:48:27

Now I tried to end this discussion nicely. But you have to make an ignorant comment.
When you ask a question. expect answers you may not like or don't ask. Bet you didn't even look at the video, huh?

sodabox to Dan (Po... 2012/07/19 01:00:57

I know what you are trying to tell me. I am telling you that while most of these incidents are explainable. There is a small percentage that isn't.
Do you want to see something?

reply
sodabox to Dan (Po... 2012/07/20 02:39:46

I don't want to see it if it isn't repeatable. Like Tyson said, if all you have is an eye witness then you have nothing as far as science goes.

So in the 4000 years of civilized society humanity has consistently believed in God, why would the next 50 years change that? The question is childish and short-sighted; take a look at history! What makes this generation so sure that God is not real, and that they've got all the answers? Were the ancients just stupid?! I beg to differ - faith in God will continue and arrogant humanity will continually fail to learn anything from history.

The fact that you have the internet and that you still called the ancients ignorant tells me all I need to know about you.

You didn't define who these "ancients" were. Most of the ones on that page you linked to are NOT christians so they were NOT ignorant.

So no believer (Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, etc) ever invented anything or contributed to civilization in any way? Your original question just asked about "God," which, I assume, covers all theistic religions (you did not specify, want to start over?). And by "ancients," I meant the people throughout history who helped build civilizations and who contributed positively to humanity. Your blanket statement that implies Christians were/are ignorant is amazing; who, in your opinion, is not ignorant?

BTW, I'm pretty sure your original question was meant to serve as troll bait, which is weak and tells us much about your character, but that is only my opinion.
