Repent now sinners! Your chance to talk to the great one in the sky:

Here's a transription of mine (although admittedly I didn't really do the whole 'I want to repent thing'😉:
Me:
I don't actually believe in you, I'm fully aware that this is just a construct of someone's imagination
God:
Would you ever do it?
Me:
I doubt it
God:
You doubt it?
Me:
I don't see any reason to believe in you
God:
Look harder.
Me:
but that's my point, there is no evidence
God:
Who gave you your point there is no evidence ?
Me:
you can't give a point of no evidence. It is evident by it's absence
God:
I have free will you know. Should I know this?
Me:
Of course
God:
Wow!
Me:
You are as mad as those Christians I berate all day
God:
How mad as those Christians you berate all day?
Me:
You talk in riddles, you defy logic and you appeal to a false mystery to cover your own lack of existence
God:
Thanks for your criticism, .
Me:
So are you going to take any of it on board?
God:
I don't judge people. That was my original intention.
Me:
But you do!
God:
When do I do it?
Me:
All the time, you send them to hell if they don't comply with your standards
God:
Perhaps there are a few exceptions.
Me:
Not according to the bible
God:
Really you don't think so?
Me:
You know so. There are no exceptions
God:
Have faith, .
Me:
F@ck off
At that point God refused to talk to me anymore, which I thought was quite amusing and raised my opinion of him somewhat.
Originally posted by StarrmanYou choose not to believe in god and take as a reason for this that you dont have evidence of his existence. This implies that you do not believe anything if you dont have proof of it.
Me:

Then why do you believe that there is no god without having evidence of this?
Would it be better to say that you do not know if there is a god?

I am a weak atheist. I deny the existence of the supernatural, god(s) based on a lack of evidence. Were compelling evidence to arise, I would be forced to reassess my standpoint. Until such time as this happens I will continue to uphold my lack of belief.
Originally posted by Starrmanwouldn't a strong atheist have to do the same?

Or igod has taken a coffee break.
Originally posted by LordOfTheChessboardPersonal definition - "I don't believe": Consider something to be highly improbable in light of the evidence , or to be highly improbable for lack of evidence .
You choose not to believe in god and take as a reason for this that you dont have evidence of his existence. This implies that you do not believe anything if you dont have proof of it.

That said : I do not count the existence of god (as discribed/portrayed by the traditional christians here) as an impossiblity , but as highly improbable .
There is more evidence for the Loch Ness Monster , UFO's being extra terrestrial visitors , Big Foot , ghosts , and the CIA killing JFK .
There is another group of mythological figures there is even less credible evidence for , yet some people believe in : fairys , elves , Chubra Cabras(sp?) , mermaids , etc . I put jesus , god , holy spirit , etc into this latter catagory .
Just as I do not alter my life significantly because of all of these unexplained phenomeneons , I do not alter my life significantly for remote possibility of a judgemental god of an anchient nomadic middle-eastern tribe running the present day show .
