    When it comes to God, we're all just speculating, aren't we?

    NOPE i said that not playing the game of "my God is bigger than your God" could open the door to rational thought.

    YOU said what YOU said. I didn't.

    Not at all. You see, God can reveal His will to those who seek it. When the Spirit speaks, there is no speculating. Thing is there are way too many people who simply declare you cant know, put no effort into it, and therefore never do know.

    Thank you for emphasizing my point of how some refuse to learn to try to learn.

    I'd LOVE to hear from dp's self-professed "godless ones" why that is....
    I have never sought the help of a religous leader..

    and which athiests do you recall crying out to god when faced with death? and if by chance you can name some answer me this......What harm did it do?

    And you don't see the pitfall in your argument that an effort must be made? How much effort does someone have to put forth before they can state "there is no god" without speculating?

    That is the fatal flaw with their position. They can't know that there is no God unless they themselves were God.

    To all non-believers in God:

    The evidence we have seen of him in our lives trumps your opinion about whether or not he exists.

    Fatal or not, it's the same flaw shared by those who claim they know there is a God. It all boils down to belief.
