Blah blah blah.
god created sin, and is therefore sinful, and therefore satan. Have fun with that.

Perhaps disorganized religion ought to be their cup of tea.

Someone already used "blah blah blah".
You want to convince me?
You're going to have the same problem as Muslims and any other invisible friend claimant has.
Before you get to your magic baby claim, and before you get to your magic zombie death claim of Jesus, before you even get to the first word of your holy book, here is what you have to do to convince me.
WITHOUT claiming "who" SHOW me HOW it is empirically possible for a thought to arise from a non-material process.
Your magical invisible super brain claim is no different in human history than any other. I am not impressed with you simply because you give your fictional super hero the name "God" who has a magical son. You could claim that Thor makes lightening and it would mean the same thing.
We really don't care about whatever pseudo "good intent" you claim in wanting to save us.
Save us from what? A fictional utopia and fictional punishment that does not exist? Does the Muslim heaven or hell exist? No, and we don't buy your bribes or threats either.
The only trap that has been set has been set by the people who wrote that book of fiction over 1,000 year period and you fell for it. Do you really think that a baby can be born without a second set of DNA? Do you really think it is possible for human flesh to survive rigor mortis? If you do, I feel sorry for you. You might as well believe the earth to be flat if you are going to fall for such silly ancient superstitions. You might as well believe that the computer you typed this emotional tripe on, is run by pixie dust.
You think I am being mean to you, no. Not at all. Harsh and blunt and blasphemous YES. Absolutely. Because I know that you can live without your myth. I know that there are better things in life to use to measure reality than ANY holy book, not just yours.
We live in an age of computers, cell phones, and can calculate the distance between stars and entire galaxies. We even know what quarks are. We have much better knowledge of the world than the Koran, Bible or Torah or Talmud.
You personally live your life without the myth of Allah or Vishnu and I know that you can live without the superstition of magic babies as well. Wanting a super hero to exist has a strong emotional appeal, but it does not make fictional beings real, no matter how much the person wants that being to be real.
The ancient Egyptians wanted so badly to believe that the sun itself was a god, a thinking being, we know now that that was not true. I do not see you doing anything differently in making the same mistake of falling for an emotional hero story, any more than they did.
You can do better with your life than to cling to an old story. But no matter what, you are not going to come here and get away with saying "We really want to help you".
No, you don't want to help us. You want to sell us your product, no different than any other religion or any other claimant of invisible friends.
NOW if you chose to stay here, and we don't mind you being here, don't treat us like lost puppies to be saved from the streets. We know damned well what our position is and we are not afraid of defending it. All we ask is that YOU make your case. Dont whine or complain, just make your case without trying to sell us something.
We do not hate you, we have never personally met you. But we do question everything and we will not give your pet claims any special treatment here. If you chose to stay, your claims will get knocked around. If you take our criticism's personally, you will be miserable here. If you have a thick skin, you should do fine. BUT that is up to you. We will not hold your hand here or bow to your insecurities.
Be warned, we are not here to placate your emotions or say "isn't that nice". If you chose to stay make your case, but do not expect us to play nice with your claims. THIS is about your claims, not you. We simply hold the position that YOU got it wrong and we are not going to sugarcoat why we hold that position.

Hi OP,
The problem with people like problem is that they think they are God. So there is a competition in their mind and they get cranky.
You see, via empiricism they assume their senses are inerrant and infallable. Their experiences are totally perfect via the inference of perception.
Empiricism is the car that drives them into their insanity thinking they are God. Since Christianity is against empiricism, they break down via their circuitry and can't function properly.
The proposition that you made about thought being shown empirically is NON EMPIRICAL you nut. LOL. So explain how you can write things in English via Empiricism if logic is NON EMPIRICAL. Do you have logic with your Ice Tea?
Brian I love you, but you're so stupid sometimes.

You forgot the other option. God/s/deities/entities do not exist and humans are not god/s either.
No I do not think of myself as a fictional super hero. Unlike you, I do not think I am special, other than to myself and my family and friends. You on the other hand think you are special because of the fictional super hero you use to threaten the outsiders with. If anyone is behaving like a god, you are.
I live in reality. Gods do not exist and humans are not gods because there is no such thing. How can I be something that is fictional? You might as well accuse me of being Allah or Mickey Mouse. Nope, I am happy being finite. I don't need to pretend to have super powers or have invisible friends to live my life. I am sorry that bothers you, but that is your problem, not mine.
For one who threatens us with their super hero and super villain and uses Japan as a hostage, you have a lot of nerve to accuse me of being god like. I would not want to be your god, the one you peddle is a prick. I am glad your god does not exist. But no, I am not a god either. There is no such thing.
"Japan deserved it and you're next" Nope, don't want to be that god, or any god for that matter and I am glad such a being does not exist. I am quite comfortable knowing that I am a human with no super powers and comfortable knowing that this is it. I am not as self centered as you are.
AND to the OP, Jean is trying to set me up in front of you to make you think I am the bad guy. Yet he goes and starts a thread about the Tsunami and how god allowed it to happen as a warning to us. Get your popcorn bucket out because Jean is going to try to put me on display, not that he can do a good job of it.
He also said he wasn't going to respond to me anymore. Cant count on Jean for anything except being a troll.

No empiricism is why we have cars dip shit. Your petty scare tactic wont work. I find it funny that you bash Empiricism as if it was evil and yet you type on a computer which was born out of empiricism.
The combustion engine, came about even before cars because of OBSERVATION AND TESTING which is what empiricism is.
You are fucking hypocrite. You have no problem using the things empiricism has born out, then turn around and treat science as evil.
If you think science is sooooooo evil, stop using your computer. Next time you get sick, don't go to a doctor.
You are a fucking moron.
"Science bad, atheists bad" sorry, your trying to paint rational people as boogie men wont work. Humans got to the moon because of empiricism and science. Humans were held back because of myth and superstition having to fight it constantly.
You are simply scared that the curtain has been pulled back and that your invisible friend is not needed. Too bad. Science is not evil, nor are the people who defend it.
Stop using your computer if you really believe empiricism is bad and science is evil. Otherwise you are making yourself look like a fool.

Blah blah blah part 2.
It's like watching a 150 year old blind guy drive a car. It's only a matter of time before he hits something. Many somethings. Jean hits everything he can. Fortunately it's a bunch of walls, so he's only hurting himself and his own car.

Magic...Show...Legalists?
Our revels now are ended. These our actors, | As I foretold you, were all spirits, and | Are melted into air, into thin air; | And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, | The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces, | The solemn temples, the great globe itself, - Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve, | And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, | Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff | As dreams are made on, and our little life | Is rounded with a sleep. - Shakespeare
Jesus/God offered himself to himself.
1. What did he sacrifice?
2. Who did he help?
We go against any 'magical thinking', Christian, Muslim, organized or not, because it has no base in reality,logic, or morality.
The very idea of Gods is against reason and logic.
Christ taught little of substance.
The meaningless empty gesture of the crucifixion scenario is an offence to the very idea of true 'self-sacrifice', especially if you actually believe he was the incarnation of a God. If he was the 'Son of God', then it was an empty show to impress the ignorant. And it did not benefit anyone, least of all those who were the victims of any wrong-doing on the part of the 'forgiven'.
Religion, especially organized religion, makes everyone a slave to its irrational and obnoxious precepts. It is a perversion of true knowledge and morality.
The most obvious craziness is that of anyone taking seriously the confused ramblings of the ignorant writers of the Bible.
