Well I am interested in whether you believe in the existence of love of not?

If everyone simply uses their own standard of credibility no one has to admit to anything and everyone can simply disagree about every thing they want.
If you want to use somebody else's "standard of credibility" ~ and not your own one ~ go for it. I wasn't asking you to "admit to anything" and I don't see how or why I am being asked to "admit to anything". "Admit"? [Rhetorical question.]

I am not interested. Start a thread. Maybe some other people will discuss it with you.

Do you believe in the existence of love? If love is not supernatural what is it and how do you measure it?
Like I said on the previous page, start a thread about 'how to measure love' and see who wants to discuss it with you. I don't.

You obviously seem to believe in the existence of love based on our previous discussions but obviously now that you can't say how you measure or observe it you are not interested in discussing it.

It's quite obvious why you don't want to discuss it. Double standards.

Yep because you don't hold yourself to the same standards that you expect of a theist.

The most extraordinary claim that exists is that there is no God in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
Restating your belief that the world around us, and we ourselves, are evidence that we were created is beside the point; it is not evidence that a "lake of fire" exists, which is what is being discussed here.

When you were a Christian, did you believe in a 'lake of fire'?

The only evidence for a 'lake of fire' that I am aware of is that which is recorded in the Bible

If you do happen to have any further evidence, present it. If it's just those three words in an ancient text, supposedly divinely inspired, then fair enough. I hear you. I understand that that is all your evidence amounts to. And I understand that you find it credible. This confirmation is all I was after. Thanks.

What evidence could I possibly happen upon? Near death experiences? No, I think the Bible is all we have. It's compelling enough, I mean even you used to believe it for a few decades. 😉

Don't worry about what he wants. Lay out your honest understanding and the reasons for it.

I lost you there, didn't I.
