Sin is not good for YOU.

Sin is abiding in death rather than life. It is self condemnation.

If you abide in death... well...

Don't be surprised if you suffer for it.

However, when it comes to the subject of god, this standard of evidence cannot be met.
Why? Thousand upon thousands come to accept God every year. How do you decide what is evidence for other people?

You seem to ignore all the evidence around you and insist your perception is true for everyone else. Why?

There is no verifiable evidence of god(s). If there were, then it (and not beliefs of "thousands upon thousands") would be front and center.

If you have verifiable indisputable evidence for god, Id love to see it. Otherwise, your updated form of 'lightning is evidence of Zeus' will be dismissed.

You can continue under the delusion that anyone needs you to accept or validate their evidence. You can't "dismiss" my evidence. When did I ever request your validation?

But I do note that people who believe as you do are fringe. There is a reason for that. No declaration on your part will invalidate my evidence or give logical credibility to your assumptions.

Prove to me that it is true that there is truth!

If you need evidence that The Truth exists, you don't understand what that means.

The Truth is God.

You have all the evidence you need.

Equivocation is not evidence of god(s)...and if it were, why would it be evidence for your god and no one else's?

Except that The Truth is literally the God I believe, so you are wrong

I know you are wrong because you make God something other than the literal Truth.

You are making a straw man because their is no other. way you can argue against God.

Then you are making arbitrary arguments you know aren't valid, because these other gods are created things, not The Truth.

I know you are wrong because ...

...of something that is not evidence.


Your beliefs and intuitions may seem compelling to you, but they mean nothing to anyone not inside your head.

You are not accepting a definition.

You are talking about rabbits when you say "trees".

My definition is not arbitrary. I did not make it up.


When I say God, I am saying "The Ultimate Reality".


And all you have as an argument is striving over words. You want God to be anything other than what God is so that you actually have ground for an argument. Surely you have the sense to know that arguing against The Truth is utterly futile, which is why you must change the meaning of the word.

There is no argument against The One True God.

But maybe you really don't know any better, and so your good news for the day is that everything you believe about what God is happens to be based on superstition, because The Truth is God.

Believe, the burden is light.

Don't you think things must be getting a bit desperate when you have to argue with Mopac?

You are the one arguing with the dictionary. Not me.
