Originally posted by FMFAs I have said, the question is "sin" is pointless, unless you are answering to a higher authority. Whodey does not send anyone to hell, therefore, why are you asking me?
You've written three paragraphs about something else altogether, which is your prerogative of course. However, if you'd like to address the question I asked, then here it is again:
If there's nothing sinful or immoral about the way Dasa leads his life, and - indeed - he lives it in a virtuous way, with compassion and mercy and kindness, are you saying - as a ...[text shortened]... nce of your own chosen religion, that God, as you see Him, will send Dasa to hell regardless?
If there is a higher authority and Dasa has sinned against that authority, then that sin must be dealt with at some point. No infinite number of good deeds will ever make that transgression vanish in my opinion.

Originally posted by RJHindsNo. It doesn't.
It sure does follow scientific principles.
P.S. The last video in the series of 7 given below concludes that
the scientific method proves intelligent design.
What a youtube video 'concludes' is not necessarily true, or don't you know that by now?
If you want to convince me with references then follow scientific protocol and use references from reputable peer reviewed scientific journals, not youtube videos.
If you cant to that, then try presenting the argument yourself, or transcribe the video.

So I prefer to read them first. When I get finished with those and

I told you before, I was not very impressed by the introduction.
P.S. I think I would prefer to read one of Michael Behe's books
on the subject of evoulution and intelligent design.

".... with sound waves ...." trying to add a bit of science?
Laughable!
Why would god speak with no one about to hear?
And why now, with people about to listen, he is silent?
God DOES speak to those who would hear.
One way is through the Bible.

Nonesense. Most theists are clamouring for proof. And atheists would listen to anything realistic promising eternal life.

about the evil in the world rather than blaming someone else for doing
nothing like you.
Atheists would listen to anything realistic promising eternal life as
long as it does not include God.
The conversations between man and God have been recorded. Some
of them are in the Holy Bible.
We Christians believe the Holy Bible is more than just another book.
We believe it has proved itself to be written by God inspired men,
and is the word of truth. By reading what God has said to others we
can apply those words to our situations and imagine God speaking
directly to us to meet our needs.

Then, why don't you stop challenging Christians to respond to your
questions? Ask your fellow atheist to explain it all to you.
