Well I'm all turned around now, how could I not be.

There's not enough eyerolling icons for you E-man.

At least give some sort of reason for your "belief", not just a curt statement as if it's a fact and we're all dopes of not seeing it that way. You know it makes debate, conversation, and interaction so much more interesting when the other person has reasons behind their point of view.

Step outside your evangelical box for two minutes and give us your answer to the question.

What sort of people want to play these games?

I said "everyone".

You said......well you just railed against any one who even had a slightly different opinion or image of god then you do, you really didn't say anything.

Hell the least you could do is believe those who play these games are blasphemous. That would contribute something to the thread. Albeit a completely predictable contribution, but a contribution none the less.

Is it possible that you contribute nothing.....no wait, that you actually subtract from any conversation you get into?

Unless of course it's with another drooling god lover like yourself.
Finished with your rant? Feel better. I was trying to be succinct but it appears that you have a problem with that along with many more problems with me.

You are one of many paparazzi who have a need for my image. And your reviews are weak at best for they do not capture my essence.

Games about God are games. If they help to inform or reinforce the belief then fine. Entertainment covers this debate and battle quite often. But since Hollywood is Satan's West Coat headqurters, we do not get much fair and balanced coverage out of those pagan atheists (yes they are equivalent).

And your sililoquy added nothing to the thread discussion. Just more poor reviews of the E-man performance. How many of THOSE have we read? So get in line and get a ticket like everybody else. And no cameras. My act is for the moment and should not be copied. It is an existential experience like non other for I am a superhero. You know it. I know it. I am the talent. You cover me. So there.

Love the title of this thread. In my view, if there is a God, I don't know for sure, then all we nned to do is look around and see this God everywhere. In the city, forest, and best of all Heretic's ant colonies! Only because we are like ants, tons of them marching to work everyday. As far as games, the last video game I played was Golden Eye and I had to have it on "slow" with their heads huge to shoot them!

I seem to recall "the breath of life" being placed inside of Adam...I also seem to recall Jesus talking about Lazurus as resting in the bossom of Abraham. And wasn't the rich man looking upon Lazurus and begging for a drink? How is this to be if there's no soul? Are you calling Jesus a liar now?

You're a Jehovah's Witness, aren't you...(They even scare me )

That is what I want.

That's the spirit.

Something, anything. Even an insane egomaniacal rant is better then your "god is great" song and dance.

You have the concept. I see God in all of those systems. His imagination is awesome. Especially the details. His attention to detail is absolutely subatomic.

A good review. I don't absorb those either for in a moment you will write a bad review. Take my picture and sell it to a tabloid. "BRITNEY AINT GOT NOTHING ON ME."

No I am not a Jehovah's Witness. They seem to forget about going through Jesus to get to God in my opinion. And they say "Jehovah" all the time like they are in a trance. And they believe their organization is God's organization on earth and I do not believe that. And they want to take over your life and make you go to endless meetings to keep you away from the unwashed. So no. I am not.

The breath of life is breathing life into us. When our breathing stops we die. And to dust we return. Until the Resurrection. Didn't Jesus talk some about THAT.

No. Jesus talked about eternal life. The OT is where you find "from dust you came, to dust you shall return." Which was overwritten when Jesus was crucified. Remember John 3:16? "...shall not perish but have everlasting life." Seems to rule out actual death...

No. That is eternal life on earth. And God made us from dust and when we die we return to dust. Jesus' resurrection showed how we would be resurrected back into physical form. And he died to wipe out original sin. The perfect sacrifice for the perfect sin. Everlasting life on earth. The Resurrection negates death and renders it irrevelant.

Still, I have played sim city, and I find it quite fun actually. And yes, I have brought on disasters. But that is no reason to believe that god is real, or anything like me!
Precisely what I mean. Should a god act like we do I think things would be a lot worse. You'd see people struck by lightning everytime they say, "God damn it!"

It's safe to say whatever real deity exists doesn't operate this way.
