I send the same courtesies back to you. But without megalomania, self-appointed wisdom or derogative assumptions.

have you experienced a miricle? been riddled with cancer one day then up and walking the next? The power of faith and believing in something gives some people peace, and if it makes them a better person than its all worth it in the end. Its a PERSONS CHOICE and our FREEWILL in our world that lets people choose what they want to believe in. not some Tyrannical Dictorship that your ideal world is.
Yes I have experienced a miracle.. The miracle of evolution..The miracle of human life..The miracle of existence..None of witch I contribute to a god.
Evolution, yes it's just a random thing, poof and there you are.

Your the one that started with all your empty talk. What's relevant of anything your saying, all I see here is another troll just trying to dispute something with no evidence to back it up.

I totally agree, Christianity was created by the ancient Egyptians after they were overthrown by the Romans, they wanted to get back into power, they knew they didn't have a big enough army so used spirituality to do it, while all the while making people really pray to Amen Ra the sun god, that is why people say Amen after prayer, that is why they say "he has risen" meaning the sun, that is why SUNday the holy day is called SUNday and not Sonday, and many other things. Almost everything from the bible is from ancient Egypt history.
There's sure some good comedians on here.

good question..i guess i am just puzzled by your lack of knowledge with reality..You sound very childish throwing the term troll around..As you just sound like you can't stay involved in intellectual conversation..Whats wrong..You are far to simple minded to keep up.?
It's simple.. My post was on topic..ONE member (who's option I do respect) just not in this case..Did not see how it was on topic..I pointed out that it was relevant to the thread..But you refused to acknowledge this..and in return you demanded proof that god does not exist..Well I demand proof that he does..or you have no relevant argument..and dont try to humor me with evolution..Case closed.
1. Israel will prevail over its enemies Bible passage: Isaiah 41:12-14 Written: perhaps between 701-681 BC Fulfilled: late 1900s In Isaiah 41:12-14, the prophet said God would help Israel during times of conflict with enemies (if the people have faith in God). Isaiah said this during a time when the northern kingdom of Israel had already been conquered by the Assyrian Empire. And the southern kingdom, Judah, was about to be conquered by Babylon. (The Bible explains that Israel and Judah lost their independence because so many of the residents had turned to false religions). But, since 1948 when Israel was re-established, Israel has been attacked by much-larger countries. And Israel has prevailed in each of those attacks. This prophecy has found partial fulfillment; Christian scholars believe that a time will come when all of Israel's enemies are destroyed. Here is Isaiah 41:12-14 Though you search for your enemies, you will not find them. Those who wage war against you will be as nothing at all. For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. Do not be afraid, O worm Jacob, O little Israel, for I myself will help you," declares the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. 2. The ruins of Israel would be rebuilt Bible passage: Amos 9:11, 13 Written: about 750 BC Fulfilled: late 1900s In Amos 9:11, 13, the prophet said that God would restore the land of David. (King David ruled Israel from about 1010 BC to about 970 BC). The land of David - Israel - was conquered and destroyed by the Babylonians, Assyrians and Romans. The land has been in ruins for much of the past 2000 years. The Jews, who had been scattered throughout the world, began to return in large numbers during the past 100 years. Since then, they have been rebuilding many of Israel's ancient cities. Amos also said there would be continuous planting and harvesting. During the past 100 years, the Jews have been using advanced farming and irrigation techniques to turn barren land into productive farmland. Today, Israel is a source of food for many countries. Here is Amos 9:11, 13 "In that day I will restore David's fallen tent. I will repair its broken places, restore its ruins, and build it as it used to be,'' … "The days are coming," declares the Lord, "when the reaper will be overtaken by the plowman and the planter by the one treading grapes. New wine will drip from the mountains and flow from all the hills." 3. Ezekiel prophesied prosperity for modern-day Israel Bible passage: Ezekiel 36:11 Written: between 593-571 BC Fulfilled: late 1900s In Ezekiel 36:11, the prophet said that there would come a time when Israel would be more prosperous than it was in the past. The Bible describes Israel as being a prosperous nation during the time of King David and King Solomon about 3000 years ago. But, Ezekiel knew a very different Israel. In Ezekiel's day (he lived about 2600 years ago), the northern kingdom of Israel already had been decimated by the Assyrians, and the southern kingdom (called Judah) was being destroyed by the Babylonians. In the centuries that followed these destructions, Jews rebuilt the city of Jerusalem, but their homeland was destroyed again, by the Romans, about 1900 years ago. Since then, a majority of Jews have lived in exile. But during the past 100 years, millions of Jews from around the world moved to Israel and they have been rebuilding the country once again. Today, Israel again is an independent nation, as it was in the days of King David, and it is one of the world's most prosperous countries. In 1999, Israel had the highest per capita Gross Domestic Product of any nearby country, even though the surrounding countries have many oil resources. Here is Ezekiel 36:11 I will increase the number of men and animals upon you, and they will be fruitful and become numerous. I will settle people on you as in the past and will make you prosper more than before. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
There have been hundreds of books written on the subject of the evidences of the divine inspiration of the Bible, and these evidences are many and varied. Most people today, unfortunately, have not read any of these books. In fact, few have even read the Bible itself! Thus, many people tend to go along with the popular delusion that the Bible is full of mistakes and is no longer relevant to our modern world. Nevertheless the Bible writers claimed repeatedly that they were transmitting the very Word of God, infallible and authoritative in the highest degree. This is an amazing thing for any writer to say, and if the forty or so men who wrote the Scriptures were wrong in these claims, then they must have been lying, or insane, or both. But, on the other hand, if the greatest and most influential book of the ages, containing the most beautiful literature and the most perfect moral code ever devised, was written by deceiving fanatics, then what hope is there for ever finding meaning and purpose in this world? If one will seriously investigate these Biblical evidences, he will find that their claims of divine inspiration (stated over 3,000 times, in various ways) were amply justified.
