my theory is that the king realized this and decided to write the book to create fear in people. it worked. people were to afraid to commit a crime because they were brainwashed into thinking if they did something bad they would suffer eternal damnation. i am an atheist, and this is my theory. by creating a load of bull **** like this, people were to afraid to commit a crime of anykind. but that is cruel…and somewhat brilliant…its cruel because you controlling people through fear and terror like a dictatorship. its brilliant because it actually worked at times, some people wont do anything because they’re to religous and beleive they’ll suffer eternal agony.

MY SECOND THEORY: Dieing And Seeing The After Life.

you hear stories all the time about how people die and see “Heaven” and “Hell”. well let me tell you something i have learned in psychology. its called - SUBCONSCIOUS THINKING. its where you think of something, but you dont know that you are. when you die, your subconscious mind can awake and start flashing images through your head. know why that happens? because you may have no pulse or heart beat, but your BODY is still alive for a period of time. thats why they can bring you back to life with a defibulator (the thing that shocks your chest to give your heart a jump-start). when you die, your subconscious mind can flash images through your head that seem almost real. who here has ever had a dream that seemed so real only to wake up in your bed with a startle to discover you were dreaming. th mind has the ability to do that, if your mind thinks its real your body will react to it also. thats why when people say they’ve seen hell and they come back to life and there heart rate is raceing and there pulse is through the roof. there mind is convinced its real and your body will react, and also you just had 100 volts of electricity go through your body from the defibulator.

THANK FOR HEARING ME OUT!

Like many goddists, he knows what atheists believe. He knows that we’re immoral, hate religion, hate the idea of God, and are damned for eternity. It doesn’t matter that the only thing that atheists share is a disbelief in god or gods. Comfort has already determined what we believe. He just wants quotes so he can mine them.

I coincide in your opinions incredible in all of them but in the one of sins, because that was something I never asked my self before but your answer was really good. I will analyze that subject.

I don’t fail to understand the critical difference; Ray will though. It’s exactly the sort of antic he would do, starting with taking a part of the reply out and then bungling that up. He likes to compare the existence of God with the Sun, for example The A-sun-ists Headquarters.

As for another imagined Ray Reply to you:

“‘As for the Sun… I don’t need to see it- I can feel it!’ It is amazing the logic of the professing atheist. Doesn’t he realize that God is as obvious as the Sun, verified in exactly the same way as the Sun? We don’t need to see God; we can feel Him. You would have an easier time convincing the professing atheist that the Sun is made of ice than convincing him to apply the same standards of evidence to God as he does the Sun.”

2,3,4,5,6 are not necesary. If you are a rationalist, you will lack belief in the bible being divine and the existance of every other thing on the list. However, not all atheists are rational (see anarchists and communists. Tell the anarchists that atheism is responsible for communism and vice versa using “state as God” and “hedonism” arguments. Than link the two groups together- fun time!)

As for DC I, he fails to understand a critical differance. Sin is NOT a physical object- it is mans seperation from God and is a concept. Concepts do not have physical existance.

The existance of sin relies on the existance of God, which is severly wanting.

As for the Sun… I don’t need to see it- I can feel it! Yes, it gets that hot. All our senses report it- it is obviously not an illusion as we see it every day. It does exist.

“I asked atheists to tell me what they officially believe about sin. A notable atheist wrote back: ‘I do not believe there is such a thing as sin.’ Just like he does not believe in God, despite Him existing, he does not believe in sin, despite it existing. I suspect if I were to ask what atheists officially believe about the Sun I would get the reply: ‘I do not believe there is such a thing as the Sun.’ If atheists are so blind that they have closed their eyes to God, are we to be surprised that they aren’t as blind to the Sun? The Bible is so right, atheists are so blind.”
