REPLY:  THey havent looked into the evidence, and they refuse to because
it is an affront to thier lifestyle freedom . Its like a Theif looking
for a Policeman -- it isnt going to happen.  The fewer implications to
the atheist, the better.  You have concluded there 'is no God'  purely
for your own personal lifestyle benefit and not based on evidence . The
Bible calls this 'willful ignorance'  on behalf of those who make
excuses for there not needing to be a personal intelligent powerful
Creator for our personal, intelligent, awesome Universe.  The evidence
would never be enough nor good enough  because a personal Creator must
never be let thru the door.  Atheism is all about a Crutch ;  a Crutch
that keeps one held in bondage for the ulterior motive of wanting
personal freedom to do as he/she wants ;  it sounds like 'freedom' but
it isnt. Its a slick counterfiet designed to get you thru the gates of
Hell by overtly or covertly rejecting the Creator and his love for you
(the same one might do to his Parents over and over again despite thier
love for thier child).

Atheists :  Youre making your own bed . But youre not going to want to
sleep in it later.  Abandon atheism for selfish gain, and come to the
Creators camp.  Give God a chance with your life and y oull never be
sorry.

It is an affront to us for you to tell us that we haven't looked into 
the evidence. The fact is that your Christianity just does not make 
sense, and we are incapable of the kind of muddled thinking and 
self-delusion that enables you to believe in it. Speaking for myself, 
even if I was desperate to become a Christian, I just could not do it.

Ok we've had a meeting and we've decided that some of us will try abandoning

You'll no longer have the intelligence or self-image to realise what a big

Easy!

The Creation is imperfect and contains manifest suffering, showing no 
evidence of having been created by a good and omnipotent being. In fact, 
the contemporary explanation that the world came about by chance, 
filtered in biology by natural selection, is much more satisfactory.

There is no evidence that a historical person corresponding to Jesus 
ever existed. Even if there was one, Biblical criticism tells us we can 
know nothing about him.

Substitutionary atonement by Jesus for humanity's sins makes no sense at 
all. If you commit an offence, you must pay for it yourself, otherwise 
it becomes a travesty of justice.

As for the '250+ physics constants', I am not a physicist, but I doubt 
they exist. Maybe a kindly physics specialist could explain this to us.

i have indicated where the evidence points.

Just like you, in fact.

Disbelief means lack of faith. Therefore you are engaging in 
self-contradiction.

I submit that the possibility of the universe and life being the result 
of an intelligent, good and omnipotent being are considerably less, 
taking in all the evidence, than that which ascribes it to chance and 
natural selection. Of course, other natural forces may be involved as 
well, our understanding so far is only partial.

I have no idea what Mr Crick may or may not have said, but there is 
every reason to think you are interpreting it wrongly.

> Since he calculates that the
> amount of electrons in the universe is only 10 to the 80th power,

All this is total speculation, even if Crick endorses it.

There is something I do not understand. Liberation is a good thing, 
wouldn't you say? If Christianity is to be equated with slavery, then it 
is to be rejected altogether.

Will is of course another question. I do not believe it is ours to 
control, even though we might think we are doing so.

The case is different between Alwyn and myself, (I assume Alwyn is an 
Atheist.) as I am a Pagan evolutionist. You know that I was brought up as a 
Christian, but you will appreciate that as a Pagan, since seeing sense, I 
don't deny the existance of many gods and goddesses, as you are no doubt 
aware.

It is my belief that gods and goddesses, although being aspects of the one 
central Divinity, are brought into reality as beings on a higher plane than 
ours by belief rather than pre-existence: Just the same as if you have 
psychic abilities and invent a ghost then that ghost becomes real; as has 
already been proven with experimentation by psychics and mediums willing the 
imaginary entity into existence. (This is documented although I am currently 
unable to cite or link.) Personally, therefore, I have no doubt that some 
Christians, along with people such as DiLV, have willed the vicious childish 
vengeful proud dysfunctional god Yaweh into existence over the centuries: 
Nevertheless this being is a creation of the human psyche, rather than an 
all-powerful hyperbeing. From the collective will and subconcious of 
millions of believers has arisen a being who does have a lot of power and is 
fed with energies from believers, as are most if not all gods...

Returning to the discussion though I have, as you are fully aware, 
investigated Christianity thoroughly; and I see no reality as such in it; 
rather I see a hateful collection of dysfunctional energies amalgamated into 
this quasi-superbeing bringing overall negative effects to the entire 
universe on a rather worrying scale due to the amount of energies involved.

Not only do I percieve it as mentioned above from a supernatural 
perspective; but also from a more physical slant I note the overbearing 
elements of control and repression, negativity and subversion, created by 
the book-religions: Not just Christianity in all its various forms, but also 
Islaam to Mormonism.

I would gladly honour a Creator if such existed; but since all available 
evidence points to the contrary, then I fail to see the point of trying 
every option in order to force myself to believe otherwise.

No he won't unless you pose an awkward question!  Then he will just ignore 
you and start another thread spouting the same nonsense.  That's how he gets 
his jollies by baiting atheists.  And so it goes on, and on, 
and.............

All Dimwit ever posts is his religious "nonsense"
No amount of reason or logic will silence him.
Dimwit will keep spouting this "nonsense" over and over again, hoping
that persistance will defeat all those atheist quixotic windmills

at 750,000 miles in the star - system orbiting the nitrogen-fusion sun: If 
he goes on carrying that gun in his pants illegally the [police] force will

As we have asked repeatedly, please present the evidence. Obviously, 
an attack on some aspect of science doesn't constitute evidence for 
your god, so we are looking for positive evidence indicating your 
god's existence.
