Except for eagles and fish are real. Your trying to understand a fairy tale and apply it to your life. Based on your own story of how you encountered god, it seems you were in a desperate time with drugs and foul people. Bad decisions led you to where you were and bad decisions have led you where you are now. Why should anyone listen to you? You have told us why we shouldn't trust you.

So have you read it cover to cover or no?
No but I am getting there and I have a lot of friends who are truly dedicated who have. I am fairly new in my faith, maybe 4 years into it. I don't pretend to know all the answers because I don't. I am merely trying to explain my own reasoning. This is futile though because we are trying to understand the reasoning of something (God) which is way above us.
That's like a fish trying to understand the reasoning behind a subtle direction change of an Eagle a mile above in the sky.
For God to prove to you that he exists you want him to create another Universe just for you?
How would you see this new universe created, how would you even be able to fathom or comprehend this creation and know that it wasn't just an insane acid trip??
You've just admitted yourself that it wouldn't matter what God did you still wouldn't believe he was God.

This is starting to turn into much of what the other threads did. People putting words in my mouth.
I'm just gonna leave it here. I did try, relentlessly. You guys hate it anyway so I'm just gonna stop. Was nice talking to you.
IS there anything that would do that? If God physically entered your room, performed a miracle and proclaimed that Jesus was his son and rose from the dead would you believe it or would you think you were hallucinating? Or would you 'Just know'?

You think that is what this is about? I feel incredibly sick all of a sudden.. I honestly wish you the best in life.

God manipulates free will throughout the Bible.
I'm not sure if you are aware of that.
But it goes to show it's not all that important to him.

star seeds fall into the same category as reptilians and illuminati.

and so is talking about typing on computers on the internet...i'm not even sure what the hell you're even replying to..
I don't need to know all this!
This thread is in response to the general response of people in my previous few threads. I don't need to know why you guys are atheists. The reason I'm doing it is because I want you to reconsider.
or maybe i'm just preoccupied with teeth...i need a dentist, lol
