Hi Stephen, 

my students keep coming back a bit like you. They always have questions and so do you. Hmm you are my student aren't you? Good to know. 

You did read where I said I was not back peddling, didn't you?  I thought you said you could read? Perhaps comprehension is not your strong suit. Ok.  

Let me repeat myself - now read very slowly and with confidence.  "I am not back peddling". Did you get that? Good. Let's move on. 

Christians do seek God. But Christians say non-Christians don't seek God.  Are you able to comprehend?  I know it is difficult. But please try and understand.

God will find us. Hallelujah.   

I have explained why non- Christians don't seek God.

Does one allocate  a certain amount of time for so called  " searching for God " 

I will now attempt searching for god for the next  (  2.5 minutes ) 
That doesn't work does it ?

Actual searching for god is a lot like saying you are searching for god I'd say. 

I would like to be talked through a  ( five minute search for god )

( Searching for god )  and or ( taking drugs) may be the same thing.

Actually this needs work.  But it may be the same.

Oh
there is . 
Searching for god whilst in a religious group. 

Or  

Just ya basic ( searching for god ) 

Not one bit the same. 

It's like believing the torah is the one true holly book and finding a Christian god so to speak 
Soooooooooo
Picking which holy book you follow supersedes it. 

Is that the  word i am looking for?
Supersedes.

Wow thats awsome.   
Supersedes.

Look the last thing we want is for them to just brush over something that is of importance. 

They need to take there time. 
They will get there. I'm sure of it.  

I am more then happy to give em another few thousands years to find  God and show us. 

They will prove he exists by then . 
Well they should. 

Now picture the THEISTS  HQ. Building where  they keep all there bits and pieces they've collected over the Millenniums   for proving god exists.
You are picting a desk with just shlt everywhere. Post ics

Why are Christians not seeking god?
Please read my words. 

Christians are not seeking God.  Why? Because God has already found them.   Since God has found Christians, now the manner in which they seek God is not about his existence. They are seeking his wisdom, his love, his comfort, etc.  

So why are Christians not seeking God? Because God has already found them.  No longer are they lost. As the old hymn goes. I once was lost - but now am found. Was blind but now I see.

And remember kids. 
If anyone ever sees one of these God things , you are to ask it straight away.  (  WHAT RELIGIOUS GROUP SHOULD I BE IN ) 
repeat this over and over until you get a response.  For this has to be the most important factor. 
Once the god thing allocates the correct religious group to join.   Just do it. 

Having a belief in a god type thing has something to do with being in a religious group. 

If you believe in god, you join a religious group.
( common sense  )  right?

Oh or it could be other way round. 
If you are in a religious group , you believe in god. 

WHAT COME FIRST. 
( A )  being in a religious group
Orr
( B )  believing in a god thiing. 

What possibly could they have to do with each other?

Better still.

Imagine joining the corrct religious group straight of the bat. 
Like the first religious group you join was the one you will always be in.


Too far hey?


Theists are BRILLIANT religious group pickers.  End of story.  
The stats are out of this world. 

We atheists wouldn't have a clue how to pick the correct one.. 

What i am saying is. 
Theist are really good pickererers

It's not up to theists to explain to atheists why you can experience deity. That's a self analysis thing.

We already know that it is due to brain lesions.

Imagine more than half the world's population being born with brain lesions since the beginning of time. What a fluke.

Overall, MRI scans revealed the presence of any brain lesion in 39.3 percent of the men and 24.6 percent of the women. In ancient times it was people with brain lesion that saw and talked to a God. They are the ones that invented all religions. Since people didn't know science back then they thought what those people said were true.

No. For the things that could be done by this religion I could have done by secular means, aka normal-day living.

The fact I have to believe in three gods that are very specific and makes zero sense to actually existing outside personal beliefs in order to achieve the same things as just normal day living is ridiculous. That is why I don't practice religions.

You have indicated that you know the bible better than all of the Christians on this site. Please do your own homework.

I suppose one way might be to throw yourself on his mercy - repent of your sins, beg for mercy and seek forgiveness.  This of course means admitting you are wrong about everything, denying your pride, and following Jesus.  Humility is the key.

So you are simply spouting more, made up on the hoof Christian waffle that you cannot explain as per usual, Reverend "Tradey" Tradesecret.  Those poor students.

Predictable aren't you? 

I have more important things than to be your gofer. If you want answers find them yourself. 

Do you really think your tired old cliches are going to change my mind or make me feel bad? 

Besides, I gave you a clue. And you either intentionally or stupidly chose to ignore it. 

Pride - hmmm. Humility!!!!

I suppose you have answered your own question. 

All the best with that.
