enjoy God's grace and your gracious hosts while you can

Truth does not depend upon the subscription of the majority to be the truth. While it may very well be the case that many believers are only professedly/ nominally so, that is a matter for them ( read Thomas' encounter with the risen Christ) and their God to work out in due course. It is not an excuse for your unbelief or continued propagation of atheistic dogmas. It is precisely the fact that mankind is fickle, vacillating, skeptical, and a thousand other 'ungodly' adjectives, that attests to our need for redemption( something that none of your 'godless' solutions, prescriptions or philosophies will ever be able to effect). Your changing your mind will not determine what is the truth or make it any more truthful. That in itself should be enough to convince you , and all of us, that you/we are the subject of an Infinite Grace. A close and honest examination of the claims of Christ will bring you the meaning and purpose you seek in life, minus the religious tainting that tends to happen once we human beings allow our selfish natures to spoil the experience. This globetrotting to debate religious folks must be quite an ego boost for you but as the Scriptures say 'pride goeth before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall '. I appeal to your reason and your heart as I am sure theSpirit of God must have many times, desist from fighting against true people of faith. They and their faith have outlived every atheist and skeptic and you will be ticked off on the list after you're gone . I do pray though that that will not be your fate, but that you will find the true meaning of the graciousness of your debaters and moreso the grace of the God you have been denying and give account to for your 'great intellect' one day.
My, what a lengthy whine!

Lies don't become truth because idiots in robes swing censers, cite old musty books, or claim they have God's ear, either.

The "true people faith" are as likely to put the thumbscrews to you, burn you at the stake, or fly a plane with you in it into a building, as they are to pray for you or wish you well.

Screw 'em.

You still dont get it . The fact that there are 'religious zealots' who commit sins and atrocities against their own beliefs and God, is not license for your unbelief . Consider the claims of Jesus Christ , the Bible on their own merit and not merely the merit of those who claim to belief although there is some compelling testimony in the lives of many believers. Please dont ignore this to your peril...
what a joke
by jazzguitarman

I'm sure you feel you are really trying to help but I do have to laugh at your 'don't ingore this to your peril' line. This is use of fear and very close to 'you will burn in hell' type of crap.

That type of crap is an insult and frankly makes you an ass. So I will ignore you. I'm not afraid of what will happen in an afterlife, assuming one even exist.

Why do you have to care if people consider the claims of JC or not? This is where you cross the line and just become another pain in the ass. Jews don't do this which is why I respect them and not Christians and Muslims.
