I live on what is real, more real than this life. Ok let me ask you a question. Now since you do not have the faith, can you prove to me Heaven, Hell does not exist? And just because you cannot see it does not mean they do not exsist. I have had experiences that I will not tell you about. That is preivate and personal, but what I will tell you again just because you cannot see God, Heaven and Hell does not mean that they do not exist. You cannot disprove the supernarural,just because it has not been revield to you. For me I do not have to see something to believe. Like if I am taling on the phone to someone about my bills, I cannot see that person but I believe she is there because I am talking to her. Same with the bible you were not there when the great flood flooded the earth, you were not there when God made man, you were not there when Moses parted the Red sea, you were not there when Jesus died on that cross, but it is ok for you to believe Julius cesor that you have not met

It is ok for you to believe in Alexander the great that you have not met and have not seen, it is ok for you to belive in Martin Luther king and you have not met him, it is ok for you to belive in other famous characters that you have not met and never will and yet you do not belive in God. That does not make any sence. God's creation is everywhere, just because God will not show his Holy face to an unholy people, does not mean he does not exist. This world is sinful, and without faith nobody can please God, that is why he sent his Son Jesus to the earth, to die for us so we do nt have to perish when we die. I will be more than happy to tell you guts more, just give me your e-mail adress and I will tell you about my testomonies and how you can obtain salvation. Leanne

You've been here long enough to know better than this. You're just being dishonest here. You should be ashamed of yourself.

"I live on what is real, more real than this life."
What, exactly, is "more real"? How can something be more real than real? Being ambiguously cryptic doesn't prove that your god exists.
"Now since you do not have the faith, can you prove to me Heaven, Hell does not exist? "
I don't have to. The burden of proof rests upon the one making the positive claim... namely, you. But you don't seem to have the intellectual capacity to understand that.
"I have had experiences that I will not tell you about."
Good, because they'll just prove you're a delusional nut. Anecdotal evidence isn't proof of anything.
"You cannot disprove the supernarural,just because it has not been revield to you."
I'm not trying to, but you can't prove it either. If you can, do it. Claiming that you've been "revealed to" doesn't make you sound like anything less than delusional.
"Like if I am taling on the phone to someone about my bills, I cannot see that person but I believe she is there because I am talking to her."
Your IQ is telling on you here. Argumentum ad Ignorantium plus lack of common sense. Everyone knows how a telephone works. You don't BELIEVE she is there, you KNOW she is there because you have concrete proof that she exists. You can't talk to God over the telephone.
"Same with the bible you were not there when the great flood flooded the earth, you were not there when God made man...."
Neither were you, skippy. So how can you subscribe to those beliefs yourself? You have no proof either.

Can you tell me aliens don't exist? Can you tell me that these aliens are not cultivating us on a farm we know as Earth? Can you tell me that they will not return any day to harvest us for their dinner tables?
Don't tell me this is not true because you have never seen or heard of these space farmers.
By the way, other than the Bible, is there an independent historical record of Jesus Christ? Not the belief in Jesus Christ of which there are volumes, but is there any independent historical record that Jesus Christ actually existed? There are numerous historical records of Julius CEASAR.
You probably will not believe that I am a Christian, but I am. I have faith that Jesus walked the Earth. A faith by definition can not be proven. Leave athiests alone...if they believe, they believe. If they don't, they don't. God made too many things on this Earth to enjoy. It wastes too much time and energy to try to convince those who do not believe to believe.

You live on your superstitious beliefs then.
Yes, there is much evidence that Heaven, Hell, and God are all man-made myths. Just look into the history of your own religion and you can see that. You can also look into the study of human nature and see how easily people create such superstitions and believe them.
On the other hand, you can't show any evidence that they actually exist. And, no, your personal experiences probably won't cut it. I've heard many of them before and they all just boil down to seeing what you want to believe, not what is.
When you are talking on the phone with someone about your bills, you are, at least, getting real physical evidence of their existence. Your experience with how phones works provides more support for the theory that there is a person on the other end. You cannot, however, do the same with any god. There just is no such evidence.

We can prove that when living things die in this planet their body decomposes and goes back to the Earth. No one has died and came back to tell us how it feels. What Christians need to learn is that it is better to say you dont know instead of making up wild stories. It seems magic is only ok when God is involved...
When you talk to someone about you bills on the phone, they talk back!
"it is ok for you to belive in Martin Luther king and you have not met him?"... Just read that part. You need help lady. I dont think you realize that you would probably be put in a padded room for saying that out-loud.

Julius Ceasar, Martin Luther King, and Alexander the Great were all well-documented, by more than one book. Even the existence of Jesus isn't particularly problematic for me, it's just the divinity thing that trips me up every time...

You dont know how to keep anything private leanne from stories about your bowels to how you tell your seven year old son you hate him to your night time delusions!!
You are so wrong! What you have said makes no sence and does not proove anything .....My Goddess would never throw somebody into a lake of fire because of mistakes or non belief....she just gives us another chance to do better next time and rewards us in ways that are undescribalbe when we attain an advanced soul.......Now who is more loving Leanne? No wonder you are fixated on death!

Leanne, I hear you, but Julius Caesar didn't perform any supernatural miracles either. Also there are many references to Julius in history, plus artifacts. Other than the Bible there are no references anywhere else in history to Moses. Jesus is mentioned in one non biblical account by a guy named Josephus (I think). It was just a small paragraph. Said he was healer and a bit of a rebel to some. That's about all.
You can't really compare Julius Caesar to Moses and Jesus the Christ?

You are joking, aren't you? The burden of proof is on the one who makes the assertion that something exists. That said, I can say there are no gods just as I can say there are no leprachauns hiding, or fairies flying around, in a garden. Why? Because they're illogical, and there's not one shred of evidence for their existence.
How can you seriously say that anything is "more real than this life?" How can you seriously believe in anything without evidence? Do you really think you're being intellectually honest?
Jesus is a mythical character based on similar characters in earlier myths:

Well you see. I am a member of an obscure group who believes that due to the impossibility of disproving it we should eternally live in fear of a dominant alien life form known as the Zanzbar who will return to Earth at an unknown date and slay all who disbelieve and all those who do not wash their hands with horse snot at least twice a day. All true believers though shall have their disembodied brains taken to their mothership to live in peace and eternal nirvana for the rest of our existence.
Hopefully that helps you understand our stance a bit better.

Okay, if you can tell me how many times you have talked to god on the phone, or show me an email or letter, we can talk. You're comparing apples and oranges. The truth of the matter is is that noone has made contact with this entity because if so, he would have reappeared on this planet for every generation to see.
You people give him extraordinary claims, but fail to admit that he could show himself and prove us wrong.
