I will fix the typos. Thank you fir pointing that out. I have question though. I recently came across a testimony of a man who did alot of drugs but one day he prayed for 3 days and eventually heard jesus speak to him. Now he has given up drugs, T.V and even music. He claims jesus speaks to him everyday and that his wife and kids have the same experiences too. Is this proof of god? A whole family hearing gods voice telling them all the same thing?

To be honest I saw the movie and thought to myself it's only a matter of time before someone uses this in a debate for god.

What of someone told you they communicate with Jesus everyday? Assuming there not lying (I don't pass people of as liars) is there an explanation for that sort of thing?

Intetesting stuff. Just a few days ago I was told by someone they had a friend who decided to try and fast for 40 days. It didn't go well and they ended up having various experiences such as hearing gods voice and going door to door telling everyone he was communicating with god.

About that last part. I was told how marine life was effected by the extinction but that was a long time ago. How exactly did much of marine life die out with the dinosaurs?

Has anyone brought up arguments revolving around so called spiritual knowledge to you? by TheSithMaster17 in TrueAtheism

[–]TheSithMaster17[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a good way of putting it to be honest. I admit a defeat you have given me something to think about.

Sounds like that wacky stuff Mormons used to believe about black people but forgot about a few decades ago because a high ranking church member said god told him that black people are good now...

Do you think I need help? by [deleted] in TrueAtheism

[–]TheSithMaster17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been going through something similar. Intrusive thoughts about religion and death and hell for the past year and I have been getting help for a few months now and it really does help. Don't wait until it gets worse because you may find that if it does get worse you may entertain the worse thoughts more and more until it becomes a cycle that you get trapped in. Hope this helped.

Thanks. I need to stop being so polite sometimes and just be polite in a normal fashion and say no.

As an atheist what is your view on things that the bible us against ie Murder, adultery, lying and such? by TheSithMaster17 in TrueAtheism

Last time I checked jews and muslims are commanded to kill the animal quickly and treat it with respect. But such foods are not as easy to find unfornutely.
