If there is a God as described in the Bible then he is a cruel, unjust, and downright evil. Even if it were proven to me that such a being existed, I would be constitutionally incapable of offering it my worship. The very idea sickens me.

No one has ever presented me with even a shred of evidence. I'm still waiting for your post on why you believe the bible to be the literal word of a supreme being. Every time I ask a Christian to justify that assertion with evidence I get nothing. This is one of those misconceptions about atheists that I talked about in that post of mine.

Though I am beginning to think that no matter what evidence any of us Christians provide you you will find reason to disregard it. You say specifically that even if all of your questions could be answered to your satisfaction, and if the evidence were supplied quite rationally, you are still not willing to repent. It is precisely this heart attitude that will keep you from seeing the Kingdom of God. It is also this attitude which makes me less interested in showing you what I have already discovered to be true. Because you really aren't interested in the Truth, you are interested in refuting it. You are seeking any reason you can find to argue away the presence of God, or if there is a God, you look for reasons to doubt that He is good and loving and telling the truth, so that you can continue to justify yourself and your sin. You are already aware that there is a God, that He has already presented Himself to the whole world, and that everyone of us is convicted within our own hearts. None of us will have an excuse in that terrible day, when we go before His judgement. He has sent many people to show you the truth, you keep reading my blog and Rand's and who knows what other fundamentalist Christian blogs because some part of you wants to be conviced so that you could be restored to the God you know loves you and longs for your soul. I would argue that you do not want to acknowledge that Jesus is Lord, because you realize what that would do to your lifestyle. You are well aware of what He requires of you. And you love your sin more than you love Truth, therefore you seek any reason to appeal to your mind, that you might justify yourself before your god, who is YOURSELF. You would do well to think on this carefully, to examine your heart to see if I may be right. Do not just quip back at me, really think on this and wrestle with it, to determine if it is true. The devil will do all he can to keep you from God's grace and forgiveness... he will set arguements in your mind to keep you from believeing what I say. If you have even a little thought that what I say is true, then listen to it, it is the voice of truth whispering to your soul through all the garbage your soul is filled with. God's voice is still and small. Once again, I argue that you do not need any more convincing or evidendce, you simply need to CHOOSE to believe. You need to DECIDE to put sin away from you, and to trust Jesus for your salvation and redemption. He can make you clean, and it is a change you will FEEL within you. The weight of sin is one we do not realize until we are set free of it... Praying for you, Mrs Meg Logan Jake, It is quite interesting getting to know you.

I never said there wasn’t. I said you weren’t in a position to know what it was. There’s a very important difference.

Repent and believe also before it is too late!
