A fence sitter. If you hold on to that position after the Resurrection God will spit you back into the ground.

Dude, how often do I have to say I believe in God? How often do I have to say I believe in Jesus? But that doesn't matter. Belief is one thing, but claiming to know is another thing altogether.

How can you believe and not KNOW? Sounds like an oxymoron to me.

Because you can believe all you want, but it doesn't make it true.

That simply is not logical. To believe something but then to not know it is illogical. The knowing is the logical step to believing in a reasonable world. Oh I know where you are going. You are pimping the faith thing. That you cannot know so you have faith. I get it.

This way you don't have to use scienc and logic to get to God when he is everywhere through his designs. So anti God Satanists can then make you look stupid and anti science. I get it now.

The opposite. To say you know without any proof is really stupid.

Yet I have limitless proof of God so why shouldn't I say I know him and believe that he exists based on the evidence?

Your definition of truth is not everyone's definition of truth. I agree that the world around us, the complexity of compositions, the complexity of of the human body et al are all PERSONAL truths to me that God is real. But someone else can look at it and see the truth as nature. Wherein lies the question, what is the definition of God? Is God just another name for nature? Is nature just another name for God? A person's perspective weighs the evidence and decides for themselves. But like I said, you cannot claim to KNOW God exists, you can't claim God doesn't, simply because to define what God is is a matter of opinion.

Yeah. A stupid blind deaf and dumb person for sure.

No. God is the creator of the universe and all that is in it.

No. That is paganism and is an abomination. Another substitute for God. God made nature so give credit where it is due.

The ignorant CHOOSE to ignore God in a vain effort to worship their own mind much as their mentor Satan does.

Then surely you must realize that by coming here and speaking like you know the definitive proof and anyone who thinks otherwise is wrong is not doing ANYTHING to "brighten" the name of Christianity. If anything, you are pushing people away by not being willing to listen and discuss. Personally, I hate it when Bible thimpers come to my door. I hate it because they speak in absolutes, which is NOT the way to try and open up a discourse. You act like a door to door Bible thumper in cyberspace form. Claiming you are right and all the rest are wrong is not the way to go about discussion.
