Very reasonable. The theists won't give up so easily though.

sounds like a heavy metal song from the old days cool. if your living a live that doesn't hurt other people. and your taking care of your self. i think your fellow man should not judge you. and keep gods and devils out of the conversation. maybe then these people that no it all about the after life, could really start making a connection with people. oh sorry i don't know about quotation marks so you probably are way smarter than me, and superior in intellect so all just say this last thing THE DEVILS GOING TO GET YOU, YOU SORRY ATHEIST.

It's very resonable. We all have the choice to live our lives the way we want too, even Christians. Most Christians don't understand that Christianity isn't about rules and regulations. God gave us the guidelines of how to live life, but it's our choice if we want to follow those guidelines. I agree with you, what right do I have as a Christian to tell you how to live your life? The answer is no right. But as an atheist if you don't believe in God, how can you hear him if he would tell you ? Just a thought.

I don't go around telling people God does not like the way you live. God tells all of us what he wants in his revelations. If you choose not to live by them that your business, does not affect my worship in any way. If you think you are going to get a personal call from God it will be a long wait. Why should you personally get special treatment when the rest of us have to find the true path on our own. Isn't that an unreasonable position?

"What, who, little me? *I* don't judge anyone, I only care for your soul, and it upsets me to think of you writhing in agony for all eternity when you could avoid it if you just agreed with ME! God loves everyone, and it's not for me to say that you are a vile sinner who deserves punishment without end for living in such an ungodly manner even if I am glad that *I* will enjoy eternal bliss because I'm so good while you will be eaten by maggots from the inside forever - God in his infinite mercy will be the only judge, and he will judge you as deserving of the worst punishment possible. Blessings!"

Well, God lets you sin as much as you want. The problem is that he will tell you that he doesn't like the way in which you lived your life after you are dead, when you will have no more possibilities to repent or say you were sorry. So it is advisable that somebody be there to tell you when you are wrong, so that you will not end up in hell afterwards.

Hello. But no it isn't. God uses people as instruments to spread the gospel. Of course there have been times He spoke in an audible voice but very few.
Here's the reason why you have the great privilege of hearing the gospel; "Rom 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Rom 10:14 ¶ How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
Rom 10:15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
Rom 10:16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
(Yes, we are still working on getting them to believe our report Lord! Please get their attention!)
Rom 10:17 So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."
"God, we pray that you will open the blinded eyes and open the ears to hear your Word and see Your truth so they may be saved."
This is a reasonable position.

There's the Father (GOD), the Son (Jesus) and the Holy Ghost.
The Trilogy. Three separate parts of One.
The Holy Ghost, or Holy Spirit, is our guide. Our conscience.
You being an athiest, just pick your conscience to be your guide, not other people. That is reasonable.

No. It's a cop out. Besides, did you ever stop to think that perhaps God (learn how to use capital letters before you ask a question) sent "you" to inform you that your way of life is unacceptable?

Yes, Pelagius thought that way too. He thought that the doctrine of the original sin was a load of cobblers and that we could do what ever we liked as long as we repented on our death beds.
Seems reasonable enough to me, yet he was tried as a heretic.
Thank goodness I'm a Pagan.

Supposedly God can tell you through yourself, a person, place or thing. I am a Thiest/Athiest and a Gnostic/Agnostic.
I cant get a hold of God nor can I get rid of God.
I KNOW that I dont KNOW....... And to "HELL" with your "QUOTATION" marks !!!
