Children pose a problem for the doctrine of hell.

@Best.Korea
The question that arises. A baby doesn't deserve hell, what have they done?

But what has a baby done to deserve heaven?

Now with the abortion, God may have mercy on the baby , have them enter into his kingdom. But throw the aborting doctors and parents into the lake of fire.

Do you think people struggle with the idea namely atheists that the narrative of God is all knowing which plays a big part in what's reasonable and justified?

I'm referring to the mercy of forgiving sins, even what you see subjectively as the worst of sins.

Do I think atheists will go to hell?

According to scriptures, yes.

Saying that God is evil is a personal judgement.

Granted to being that you decide to disobey God which as I understand God would recognize as evil, wouldn't make God evil .

The judge or the lawman isn't criminal because they prosecute you or charge you with being a criminal.

Is it your understanding that to go to heaven, all one has to do is have faith in Christ Jesus?

A lot of "christians" are just as atheist as others.

Aside from that you'll get what they think on subjects. 
Granted that you take the position that none of what they say is true, it certainly isn't biblically true.

I have no evidence that you will wake up tomorrow. I believe you will . If you believe it along with me, that's my point. If I had evidence or could know the future then I wouldn't require the faith overnight until tomorrow.

I just look at everything in a binary sense of believing or knowing. You either have evidence or you don't. 

If you don't have evidence, nothing is an equivalent to it. Believing in God, believing in yourself, believing in world peace, believing in no God, believing your "race" is superior, believing in the big bang, believing in evolution, etc.

What is the common denominator? No evidence. It's all belief.

And you call me going in circles. You're just repeating your own self after what I said was really nothing to argue back with.

It was really just a "cool beans" type of a response from me. You can go on and on. I'm saying cool.

You say belief, I say faith. You take a position without evidence of it be true.

I know the word faith is pictured nominally as religious. It just goes to show religion is not all that distant or foreign from the secular world.

"But I have very good reason to believe I will."

Sure just no evidence. We can feel confident with a good reason sure.

"Again,  it is easier for you to conflate the two in the belief that it offers logical reason for your faith.
Hope is not faith.  Faith is being fully confident whilst hope is to believe  that something is possible but not sure and is nothing more than  expectation and optimism."

Well I'm not going to dispute over a preference of semantics. You call it what you will as I will.

Depends on the context. If I don't believe that I exist, I probably have psychosis.

If I believe I'll be breathing later to continue to converse, I'm most likely in a safe life maintaining place.

If I'm feuding with a gang member , I may not have faith in me being around much longer.

All in context.

"Your question is incoherent - If the story is false it cannot also be true."

My point exactly. You indirectly answered the question even with just trying to critique it.

An example of what you said, the so called flying spaghetti monster.

"But in writing this you inadvertently made my point. You assumed at the outset that the story you were making up was in fact false without any evidence and despite the fact that any story one can make up is possible (unless it's internally contradictory)."

i.e. , the flying spaghetti monster.

But to bring it back to my main point. Things exist regardless if they have been proven to me .

You're not the only one who has to have patience, join the club. You should expect this in debates, even in discussions. Not everyone has the same worldview so expect misunderstandings, explanations, nothing new comrade.

I have patience and I don't have to demean and be condescending with it at the same time.

I just simply asked what caused women to be stronger than men. You made the statement, I'd figure you know that much.

I use the words gender and sex alternately as synonymous is what I'm saying preferentially.

But I understand you use the term as meaning a social construct.

You have to have faith that you'll being going anywhere tomorrow. Why?

You have absolutely no evidence that you'll even wake up tomorrow. Now people don't like the idea that somethings you're just going to have to believe in. Just the way it is. Nothing wrong with having hope when it keeps you going on the right path.

If I was to get a tattoo what would come to mind is the design like you said. Then I think about where that ink is going to go. 

It's going on my colored skin. I know I have skin with a color, I've seen it. So of course the image of the skin comes to mind. It's how what is decided of what looks good on it in combination with the selected ink art.

"They were rhetorical questions, that was obvious."

I understand the apprehension in actually getting an individual's answer instead.

"Takes care of what? It sounds like you're saying that because atheists made up a monster, that monster therefore is proven to not exist. Which does not logically follow, unless you are simply saying that you accept as your default position until such time as evidence can be shown to the contrary, that it doesn't exist."

So you mean to tell me that I can make up a FALSE story and a true replicant of it could actually exist in the world somewhere.

Are you chalking it up to possible coincidence scenarios?

I don't believe any other type of belief exists. Meaning you believe in something because of evidence, no. You just know something exists based on it.

So belief and faith based without evidence, that's goes without saying.

No I don't. Do you understand what a thing is?

Let me be more specific than that. A physical thing. 

Saying God is everything, you're talking about pantheism. 

I thought I specifically mentioned the spirit of God.

"Do you pray to Zeus? Thor? The Flying Spaghetti Monster? I'm guessing you don't. If not why not? Have you proven they don't exist?"

Simple answer off the top is I never looked into those first two figures. The third one I understand is made up by atheists themselves so that takes care of that.

That is my answer. You asked me a question then answered for me.

No my answer is since you asked,I never looked into those first two figures. The third one I understand is made up by atheists

Why have more faith in yourself than God when you're going to disappoint your own self in life time and time again? When you're going to do things you regret and possibly hate yourself for. Do you follow?

When man says he's going to do something tomorrow and doesn't do it. Either because he made excuses, quit, chickened out or worse, didn't even wake up.

You don't have faith in God but have faith you're going to wake up the next morning. Besides that, to possibly not deliver on your own promises(prayers).

I guess you may think it's fair to say that society is geared for women to be just as dominant regardless of nature. So we have discussions about equality, men and women sports, making certain job roles more gender neutral.

Job roles such as stewardess to flight attendant, waitress to server, secretary to administrative assistant.

For the longest I didn't know about that last one. I believe the word "actress" has been abandoned and they're all called actors alike.
