what do u think?
When any one tells me, that he saw a dead man restored to life, I immediately
consider with myself, whether it be more probable, that this person should either
deceive or be deceived, or that the fact, which he relates, should really have
happened. I weigh the one miracle against the other; and according to the
superiority, which I discover, I pronounce my decision, and always reject the
greater miracle.
-- David Hume, An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding
Ecclesiastical and Civil, xxix. (1651)

Can you think on your own or do you always claim other people's thoughts as your own?

According to this philosophy, by necessity your life will be the most mundane and unremarkeable that it can possibly be. Why would you automatically rule out the greater miracle? What does that have to do with what is truth. Does truth even matter to you? To the man in his sin, the things of God are incredible, unbelievable, repulsive. His sin rises up from within him and quickly whisks him away from considering its truthfulness.
Allow me to leave you with something to ponder on. In a reality without God, what is the greater miracle or more unlikely; a universe with a planet like ours with life and beings who love and dream, become heroes, perform selfless acts for others......or just one great nothingness; no matter, no time, no space. Why should anything exist? The fact that we exist IS the greater miracle, and before all these things, God IS. Believing in a great Mind, a first cause, God, is no more unbelievable than believing that things just happened to exist and then formed into you over eons of time. Its just that to believe in God means YOU can't be your own god without consequences and you ultimately are responsible to absolute goodness. Its a scary thought without Christ.

Look at yourself in the mirror. You complain of "patronizing" and "defective" behavior, and yet you seek a public forum to publish insults in an attempt to "bait" them into the behavior you already expect to see.
That is the very definition or patronizing.

Why do you speak of yourself like that? I am a Christian, and not an xian. It is you who has removed Christ from the name of Christian and not the Chrisitians who do this. When you take out Christ from Christian the way you just did, you are left with IAN, which means "I am nothing" with out Christ. That is you who has done that to yourself and not the true born again Christian. For we are blessed and are everything because we have Christ in our lives. prasie the Lord!
Matthew 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
I am praying for you.

Patronising yes, but also uneducated. Mentally defective doesn't figure into it.
