    Because it's obvious to everyone here you're totally insincere and lying. It's all a big joke and nothing but a source of entertainment so you can grind that axe a little more. If you really want to know the truth, go and pray to Christ. Ask Him to reveal Himself to you, if He's real. Do you have any desire to know the truth about God?

  4. "Meanwhile, where is God? This is one of the most disquieting symptoms. When you are happy, so happy that you have no sense of needing Him, so happy that you are tempted to feel His claims upon you as an interruption, if you remember yourself and turn to Him with gratitude and praise, you will be — or so it feels — welcomed with open arms. But go to Him when your need is desperate, when all other help is vain, and what do you find? A door slammed in your face, and a sound of bolting and double bolting on the inside."
    CS Lewis "A grief observed".

  5. We Have A Responsibility…as unbelievers, we have a responsibility to the future of our species to do whatever we can to disseminate the science and eliminate the myth.

    Disseminate what, exactly? That you don't know? What's the point of doing that?

  8. CS Lewis was a prominent christian writer apologist. he wrote many books on christianity. at the end of his life re realized it was all a delusion. that quote was from his last book.
    if you had intellictual curiousity about christianity you should know these things.

  10. There is none of that, FT.

    I know you know, but Nicholas Copernicus had to publish his work on his death bed, and Galileo had to renounce his work on pain of death. What has really changed in the main of human nature?
