God exists and the proof is this site. [YOU RESPOND]

 Jon sent a message using the contact form at
http://www.rationalresponders.com/contact.

it's so sad that you feel so strongly as to make this site. God exists and the proof is in the fact that you make these kind of sites in the first place. If there is no god, then just let it be. But the fact is you cant because of the affect of evil in the world working through people like you want to conceal the truth. Why? make a site like this? and please remember science is so young and is mostly theoretical and please don't take this the wrong way but without pictures people like you would still think the world was flat.

Science only realised that cigareetes (one of the biggest killers) was harmfull only 60 years ago. We know nothing. Are you really so sure there is no god or are you waiting for your theories to be proven wrong AGAIN. God also exists because the secret societies that run the world (Illuminati, high level Freemasons)are Satanists. These are the people who know all the worlds secrets and they worship satan for their quick fix of power on earth. If there is satan there is god and these people know it but keep it from us. I will pray for you whoever you are, please find peace brother but don't be ignorant.

A-somewhat-more-relevant question for RRS:Mania (the psychological condition, not the deity)

Do any of you have some limited degree of experience with bipolar disorder? I'm looking for a means to cope with my mania (not the fun, less dangerous 'hypo version', either)

 

I could really, really use some help in this matter... any help/advice at would be much appreciated.

"Atheists' View Not Realistic"

Stephen Flynn,

"The worldview of atheism is secular humanism."

Not all atheists are secular humanists...

"In 1957, two secular humanist organizations were defined by a U.S. court as religious organizations and granted tax-exempt status."

The only time secular humanism was mentioned as a religion was in a footnote.  It was giving tax exempt status "to grant support to elements in the community regarded as good for the community,”. 

Furthermore, In 1994, the Ninth Circuit soundly denounced both the classification of secular humanism as a religion and evolution as a religious tenet. In Peloza v. Capistrano Unified School District, the Ninth Circuit held: 

". . . neither the Supreme Court, nor this circuit, has ever held that evolutionism or secular humanism are “religious” for Establishment Clause purposes. Indeed, both the dictionary definition of religion and the clear weight of the caselaw are to the contrary. The Supreme Court has held unequivocally that while the belief in a divine creator of the universe is a religious belief, the scientific theory that higher forms of life evolved from lower forms is not. [Edwards v. Aguillard (1987). Peloza, p. 521.]"

"Against New Athiesm"

Here is a piece I just read on http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=127933

"Now that its moment in the media sun has passed, the New Atheism is fading fast. Richard Dawkins has repeatedly demonstrated why he needs to be put out to intellectual pasture. He published an entire book dedicated to passing off an inference as a fact before belatedly discovering what everyone else knew already: His biggest fans are an unpleasant collection of socially maladjusted losers. Christopher Hitchens was repeatedly beaten up in debates by various Christians before being physically beaten by Syrians he had provoked. Then he took Dawkins's OUT campaign a little more literally than anyone had expected and outed himself as an occasional homosexual. Sam Harris' two accomplishments have been to create the amusingly misnamed Reason Project, which was founded for much the same reasons and is expected to have about the same success as Air America, and to publish a wildly irrational attack on one of America's most celebrated and accomplished scientists in the New York Times that was completely disregarded by the Obama administration as well as everyone else.

No one has any idea what Daniel Dennett has been doing, but that's understandable because no one, including the atheists who claim to be his fans, actually reads his books.

Designed to Succeed

"Designed to Succeed

One of my favorite sources for evidence of creation and a creator is, "I Don't Have Enough Faith To Be An Atheist," by Norman L. Geisler and Frank Turek.

In their book they speak of such things as "specified complexity," for instance the message found in the DNA of a one-celled amoeba; even staunch Darwinist Richard Dawkins admits that message is more than all the 30 volumes of Encyclopedia Britannica. The nitrogen-based genetic alphabet A,T,C,G and the way they are arranged in a living cell communicates the specified complexity of that cell. Does that sound random to anyone?

They also list four "anthropic constants" or those atmospheric conditions that make life possible for us here on earth: the exact percentage of oxygen in the air we breathe, the nitrogen level, carbon dioxide level. Consider also the gravity we are subject to. If it were altered 0.(37 zeroes)1 percent we would not exist. Wow.

Does that sound like precision? Does that sound like design? Design requires a designer.

An Atheist Faith

Ron Sutterfield,

"TO THE ATHEISTS who have written letters lately stating, "There is no God:""

None of the letters have stated this.

"Their position takes a lot more faith than believing in God.  To believe that the complexity of a human being evolved from primeval mud."

Evolution explains the diversity of life, not the origin. Please have an understanding of a concept before trying to ridicule it.

"To believe that the universe evolved accidentally. To believe that our planet just accidentally turns to provide tides and day and night."

All of this is governed by the laws of physics.

Your parents were IRRATIONAL, and in a way, you should be thankful

becuase without the reptilian/invertebrate brain, encased by the more sophisticated layers of "brain" (ego, and of course, SUPEREGO), NONE of us would be possible. You must have an OLD SYSTEM, before a NEWER, more COMPLEX one.

"What say ye"?

All Atheists are Immoral!

Here is another one (Yes, I totally stole the Hitler/Stalin part from this website).

"I don't know about other readers, but letters from our local atheists are rather tiresome and pointless."

Okay, you are entitled to your opinion.

Atheists Worship Secular Humanism!
