Mere Christianity is the admission we may not know everything we need to know about scripture / history and philosophy - but we can know Jesus offers a bridge to God that we are invited to cross.

Another prime example of the multi God fallacy.
Let’s work this through - there is a murder and detectives start with 100 suspects bc it was at a park. Does it follow there wasn’t a murder?

The question isn’t COULD God remove all suffering.
It’s not even if God removed suffering would we have free agency?
What if suffering is the path to most people finding God? What if a world with suffering would bring the most souls to peace for eternity?
What if it’s yes?

Dale is quick to insult, gaslight and then rejoice in spreading hate. He does not back up claims but asks the theist to meet him in “conversation”. He can't prove his attacks on theists. When you wisely refuse to engage with the sociopathic man- he blocks.

Studying skeptical claims of the NT. It’s basically a conspiracy theory- It claims these men copied lies off each other, knitted in the OT, invented a creed, choose to leave family & community, risked their lives for a lie they made up.

Nor can the Strong Atheist claim “there are not god/s” Since proof is not even the standard.
Makes sense it’s better to claim a mental state.

The disciples had ZERO expectation of a rising messiah.
In a matter of weeks they went from confusion to being willing to risk their lives for a risen savior.
If they didn't see him raised - why would they be willing to die for what they KNEW wasn't true?
Motive anyone?

Liz made the claim- “there are no sacred texts.”

She responds that as the theist, I have the burden- automatically.
Can the Atheist make claims about Theism with no burden?

Believing in God doesn’t mean you don’t act out of pure Love- it means you hold a worldview that explains it’s source and how laying down your life for others is a sacred thing. It doesn’t say Love others so you get something.

When the theist rightly asserts that facts show there is no reason to fear religion. (93% of carnage in war and genocide were greed, power and land grabs throughout human history)
It is important to clarify- theocracies have a bloody history and that is not a goal.

Love your heart here✔️
As a late convert I can offer that feelings are not the test. Rather it’s true or not is. I don’t believe most feelings are genuine - experience is in the minority.
Apply it, live it and see if it’s true. If God is real it will change you.

Actually Yes. If God did create all that is-
and as humans we pay him no respect, reverence or attention-
that takes huge ego.
Is there a notion more ego-centric and pandering than the idea that God really wants to hang out with you forever?

Existence cries out for explanation -

If God exists - he uses the natural that he created, and the supernatural to reach in - to incite wonder in you. That is no accident🤍
