You need to read things more thoroughly. That's not what I said at all.
No, you said you couldn't believe even if you tried because you didnt feel God,s love, do I need to paste this in your face once more?
I said I could not believe. I also said that I have seen nothing of God's love, so why should I be expected to believe it's there?
There you go
Those are two separate and distinct points.
No they are not, you linked them yourself.
I have helpfully reproduced my entire post for you further down.
Good, now everyone can acess that you dont really know what your own position is.
Perhaps you could read through it again and either quote me saying that I could not believe because I did not feel God's love, or note that nowhere in it did I say that I could not believe because I did not feel God's love.
You said just that, you admitted to trying to believe but being unable to because of not feeling Gods love, and not seeing any evidence that it was there, reread your post yourself, you need that.
What no one seems willing or able to answer is why I should throw my experience away and replace it with something which I have never known. You are another one who is either unable or unwilling to answer this. Instead you prefer to ignore that part of my post and ask silly questions.
what? are you still talking here about the fact you never felt God's love? this is getting fuzzier by the second.
You need to know what the person who made the claim is talking about when they refer to God's love.
I know exactly what God's love is in the christian doctrine, thats why I need you to tell us what you mean by this so we can compare concepts and see where you slipped, and ultimately show you that you had it ass-Backwards all those years.
I do not expect anything, because I am an atheist.
Atheists , as by the merriam-Webster assert their is no God, so that would be you expecting God not to exist, unless you are some kind of agnostic, or the ones that hold that wether God exists or not is irrelevant.
You have no excuse for missing that pertinent point, since I made it several times in the post you chose to entirely omit in your reply.
Since the person in question claimed this love is freely available to all,
Hee got that right, now of course this all depends on what you think God's love is as I have alredy explained.... sigh...
they (and you if you share their belief) need to explain what they (you) mean when they (you) talk about God's love, and explain why I have seen nothing of it if it is available to anyone.
Then again, what were you expecting to see, why is this so hard for you to explain to us? did you expect a shining light to come down upon you? or to hear Gods booming voice? elighten un first here.
The usual excuse is that I am ignoring it.
For the love of.... ignoring what? You dont even seem to know what God's love is. My guess is you were expecting something entirely different and were dissapointed when it never happened, but this would be because you were expecting the wrong thing! please understand this.
This pre-supposes that I am aware of it. I am not aware of it. So please, bring something of substance to the table.
Lol, was it so hard that you had no idea what god's love is? there you go, thank you. since this is that case you are in no position to say you never felt it since you dont even know what you are talking about.
Now please have the courtesy to reply properly to my post asI have done with yours. Please address the points I have made instead of snipping the entire post and responding as though I never said anything.
You have admitted to having no idea what Gods love is, kinda hard to pass a point when you have no idea what the christian God love is, in another topic i
I will sort this out as you seem to be having some important issues with this concepts, wich makes me wonder if you ever resad the bible from begining to end at all.
1) Please explain how the start of my post was a 'bad start'.
Your calling of the interlocutors position Bullshit when you obviously dont have a clue.
2) Say you wanted to break the 100m world record but you were unable to. Is that simply a choice you made not to?
This is a false comparaison, the 2 Belief, and physical effort and not comparable.
3) The fact that they lost faith BUT DIDN'T WANT TO shows that they had no say in it. The stuff about whether something is a good or bad idea seems to be irrelevant. Perhaps you could enlighten me
I should of said true or false, the fact that they lost faith does nothing for your position And this is a
non sequitur The fact that they lost fate does not prove that ''they had no say in it''.
What is your excuse for passing judgement on someone on this earth? What do you think your god would have to say about that?
read what I said, I said I deplore those who do , so quit the obvious strawman. Judgement is God's alone.
