A Story For Atheists. by kay1one2(m): 12:21pm On May 10, 2015
In a mother’s womb were two babies. One asked the other:
“Do you believe in life after delivery?” The other replied, “Why, of course. There has to be something after delivery. Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves for what we will be later.”
“Nonsense” said the first. “There is no life after delivery. What kind of life would that be?”
The second said, “I don’t know, but there will be more light than here. Maybe we will walk with our legs and eat from our mouths. Maybe we will have other senses that we can’t understand now.”
The first replied, “That is absurd. Walking is impossible. And eating with our mouths? Ridiculous! The umbilical cord supplies nutrition and everything we need. But the umbilical cord is so short. Life after delivery is to be logically excluded.”
The second insisted, “Well I think there is something and maybe it’s different than it is here. Maybe we won’t need this physical cord anymore.”
The first replied, “Nonsense. And moreover if there is life, then why has no one has ever come back from there? Delivery is the end of life, and in the after-delivery there is nothing but darkness and silence and oblivion. It takes us nowhere.”
“Well, I don’t know,” said the second, “but certainly we will meet Mother and she will take care of us.”
The first replied “Mother? You actually believe in Mother? That’s laughable. If Mother exists then where is She now?”
The second said, “She is all around us. We are surrounded by her. We are of Her. It is in Her that we live. Without Her this world would not and could not exist.”
Said the first: “Well I don’t see Her, so it is only logical that She doesn’t exist.”
To which the second replied, “Sometimes, when you’re in silence and you focus and you really listen, you can perceive Her presence, and you can hear Her loving voice, calling down from above.”

Acts 17:28-34 NIV

‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’ “Therefore since we are God’s offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone—an image made by human design and skill. In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent. For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead." When they heard about the resurrection of the dead, some of them sneered, but others said, “We want to hear you again on this subject.” At that, Paul left the Council. Some of the people became followers of Paul and believed. Among them was Dionysius, a member of the Areopagus, also a woman named Damaris, and a number of others.

Re: A Story For Atheists. by ooman(m): 8:39am On May 12, 2015
The requirement for getting born is being fit to survive air world, not believing an air world exists.
So if a baby believes in an air world but didn't develop lungs, he doesn't survive.
So faith still does not matter.

And there is evidence for a mother in the womb, there is none for a god.

What evidence did you have for a mother in the womb? Whatever it is, its still the same for God in the now.

If a fetus is capable to ask for its mother, medicine will show her to it.

We are capable to ask for god, where is it?

"IF"

Don't you think it does everyday? The mother only shows up at the right time! In the interim, any communication is by signs; faith!

For you? Like that will fetch me an award? You're still a young person. To avoid a hellish period in your future due to previous wrong decisions, you might want to let God guide you through life. Being prodigal has its many numerous risks!

Isaiah 66:1-2 NIV

This is what the Lord says: “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Where is the house you will build for me? Where will my resting place be? Has not my hand made all these things, and so they came into being?” declares the Lord . “These are the ones I look on with favor: those who are humble and contrite in spirit, and who tremble at my word.

Op, the hipocrisy.... Where to begin.

That in no way depicts the current scenario, or at least not in the way you imagine. We sane folk are the ones that would, for instance, claim man evolved. We'll go through the trouble of showing you how even. You then shout lalalalala and NO! simply because you want to feel special.

Your claims on the other hand are completely baseless, yet you want to portray yourself as standing with reason?

Baby one would claim our feet exist to be used as paddles by pink elephants and you expect baby two to just swallow it? Lol

Baby two would be the one to point out our feet have a more practical function, just as we point out vestigials have (or had) a practical use, instead of
'Lol God put them there to troll us'. Baby two would listen to the outside and surmise there very likely is life out there. Nothing special about us. Just as the scientific world is looking for life elsewhere, listening to the stars and actively sending spacecraft elsewhere.

Baby one would claim we were special custom made and all this, this unimaginably large universe, was put up just for special us just because. And we are the only ones here because well, it requires magic to create us, and God's magic is just for special us

One could go on and on

I hope that clears up your confusion.

Does the mother know that the first child does not believe in her? And does she set him on fire when he is born as a punishment? Cause that's what God would do!

Hell wasn't created for man. It was created for the devil and his demons. When a man lives with the devil's principles, he creates his own hell even before judgement. After rejecting God's own Son; Jesus Christ, who came from the other side to show us the way, it becomes obvious that that child has no intentions of being with the "Mother". This leads to the "Mother" having to leave that child to its own decisions, which means an eternity without a relationship with God; "the Mother" in this scenario. God recieves no pleasure in losing any of His children to an eternity without Him. That's why Jesus came, why he will return. Hell is not God's will for any man. Sending Jesus to die on an old rugged Cross proves that!

Then it's not a good analogy if it is so flawed in that manner. And if God receives no pleasure from putting anyone in hell, he can solve that problem very easily if he is all-powerful as you probably claim. God sounds like he is very confused and in need of guidance.
