LordReed:


Well then I guess I'll never know if Jesus is real. If the god only responds to those that are already inclined to believe then it seems to confirm to me that the god is merely in your head so that if you aren't inclined to believe then you won't get a response. This is not how real people behave.

Lol Mr Reed. What do you mean by the bolded?

It means you already want to believe or already do.

Very simple.

1Sa 2:30 Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.

Joh 12:26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.

Jas 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

Like i usually bluntly say, man is too inconsequential to dictate terms, man is at His mercy and grace. You may receive His mercy or grace but otherwise, you're less than puny in the scheme.

Oh. Mr Reed. What you're looking or waiting for has a 0.1 out of 10 chance of happening. That's just the truth. By the way, have you ever spoken to God since you became an atheist and asked Him to speak back to you to prove He is real?

Rather the truth is your god is a mental construct.

No I have not, others have on my behalf though, still waiting for the god to respond.

By others do you mean your family? Besides you haven't even made any effort to seek God and find out the truth for yourself. Have you ever since you started to doubt God's existence tried to at least read the Bible to know the truth for yourself? Have you fasted, prayed, had Christian fellowship? You aren't being just and fair to yourself.

Not only family, friends and pastors.

Why would I do those things when they are the very things that indicate you have faith in the first place? I should fast, for what exactly? You mean the god won't respond until I starve myself and potentially put myself in a vulnerable state? LoLz. Don't you see how suspicious it is that your god only seems to respond to those already susceptible to belief?
