The things that make life worth living are not provided by science or even outside Christianity.

Which Christianity? And I don't see Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, etc. despairing over their lives being useless because they are not Christians.

Why do you champion the Golden Rule and yet reject the basis for it? Jesus is the one who taught that and yet you claim that you don’t know if God exists and deny Jesus’ divinity.

Jesus did not invent the Golden Rule. Your revisionism is a straw man.

You claim that you don’t know if God exists when someone confronts you with your clear atheistic stance, but nobody is believing that.

I never, ever, said God doesn't exist. I simply don't know if he does or doesn't. Is that a crime?

Why do you come on RF threads and argue in favor of atheism and actively try to dissuade others from their faith in God?

I came to this thread because betty boop pinged me. I told her I was not interested in her topic but mentioned as an aside that the very man who is responsible for bringing the Big bang into the scientific community is now saying the Big Bang never happened. I know she and A-G often talk about cosmology and I thought it would be of interest. Then I got a flood of silly comments to which I responded with my comments. I am simply telling you what I believe.  What do you want me to do, lie?

So, I did not invite myself to dissuade anyone from their faith in God. You can believe whatever you want. I don't necessarily have to agree with you.

Do you want us to give up our faith in God? Is that why you argue so strongly against belief in Him? How would you feel if you knew that by your line of reasoning, you convinced someone to abandon their faith in God?

The subject was science, not God. You and others brought God into his. You are free to backtrack to my response to betty boop and establish who started what. You are also free to ignore my opinions if you think they are are worthless.

mm: You claim that you don’t know if God exists when someone confronts you with your clear atheistic stance, but nobody is believing that.

k50: I never, ever, said God doesn't exist. I simply don't know if he does or doesn't. Is that a crime?

Do you have reading comprehension issues? Or are you just knee jerk reacting again?

I didn't say that you said God doesn't exist. However, the position you argue from does indicate that. If you're not sure God exists, why push the there is no God agenda so strongly?

You do not present as an honest seeker inquiring as to the existence of God. Your posting history is filled with atheistic talking points arguing against belief in God and His existence.

Actions speak louder than words.

You never answered the last few questions I posed either. Why did you not answer them?

Did you read the thread? Since when did anything indicate that the topic was about science?

muslims with their religio-political system - killing anyone who opposes it - where's your universal golden rule there?

Hindus and the untouchable cast - lowest of the low in hindu society - flock to Christianity when presented - in the face of death from hindu. So where's your universal golden rule?

Buddists in se asia - embracing communism and atheistism - kill(ed) hundreds of thousands - and your universal golden rule is where?

The Bible says that everyone knows that God exists.

Romans 1:18-23

“The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness,

since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.

For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.

Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools

and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles”.
