"You either do what your god tells you to do or you aren't a "believer". "

No doubt they have a lot of believers, who religiously try to do what their god tells them to do. But either they haven't thought through the final implications of what their god is telling them, or I'm missing something about their religion, or they hate their life so much that ending the cycle actually sounds good to them.

Some religions are nothing more than lifestyle rules, Confusiusness and Atlaw's Jack god falls into that category. They may even offer reasonable rules for living, but they don't provide purpose.

And Atlaw, I very much believe there is solid evidence for Christ and salvation. And it consists of prophecies, miracles and meeting God one on one.

Getting people to serioiusly consider that evidence is like trying to tell a war protestor that Saddam was a bad guy. It might be impossible to prove in that sense.

So what? Does that invalidate them somehow (other than in your mind)?

Again, all you are saying is that you disagree with them. So what? What makes you think that is a useful point here?
