Ephesians 4:18 - Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
Matthew 13:14-15 - And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: (Read More...)
Proverbs 28:13-14 - He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh [them] shall have mercy. (Read More...)
Hebrews 3:8 - Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
Exodus 9:12 - And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken unto Moses.
Mark 8:17 - And when Jesus knew [it], he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?
Exodus 7:3 - And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
Jeremiah 17:9 - The heart [is] deceitful above all [things], and desperately wicked: who can know it?
Hebrews 4:12 - For the word of God [is] quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and [is] a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
John 12:48 - He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
Psalms 119:9 - BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed [thereto] according to thy word.

When your children were little and you stood them on the side of the pool or a porch or a tree limb, and told them to jump, they did. Blind faith told them you would catch them.
That's the faith it takes when talking about believing in God.
Blind faith.
Believing what you can not see, touch or hear.
How do you make yourself believe?
You start by accepting that God is bigger than everything.
I'm sorry. I'm unable to accept a delusion.
But, you will accept the delusion of a man calling himself a woman despite biological evidence and science! LMAO!!!
Everyone lives in faith. You live in faith. You live in faith when you stand up that the floor won't collapse beneath your feet. You live in faith when you sit down in a chair that it will hold you. You live in faith all day, every day, whether you think you do or not. If you were intellectually honest, you would say " I don't KNOW" if God does or does not exist, but it certainly IS possible. However, you are not acting with your mind to say that there is NO God because there is no way you could have searched the ends of the universe to know that.

It defies rationality doesn't it? And makes her points totally invalid. The acceptance of perversion is irrational.

"Respect" has nothing to do with it.

Lol! Quoting bible verses at me isn't going to change my mind. Got any proof?
You ARE the proof.

You exist. YOu didn't come from nothing. YOu didn't create yourself. There is an Uncaused Cause and that can ONLY be God.

Yet, you expect society to accept other people's delusions regarding their gender. That's just odd.

Yeah, here's the thing. Transgenderism is a real condition.
Science has shown that their brains don't match their bodies.
Science can make their bodies match what's going on in their brains.
Belief in an adult version of Santa Claus, where he's always watching you and will dole out the gift of post-mortem eternal life if you're worthy....not so real.
A celestial, narcissistic deity who demands constant worship and will punish you if you don't grovel before him...not so real.
I'm not buying it. You can if you want to.

Fine. Don't believe.

You don't have to be disrespectful of our beliefs.

Oh, you mean how you folks are respectful of other beliefs? Calling the pope a retard and a poopyhead?
Is it fair to ask non-believers to not mock those of us that believe when there are some of us that believe who mock those that don't?
It would show God's love better if we all led by example.
Amen!

As soon as people stop telling me I have a bag over my head, that I'll burn in hell, and that I have a stone-cold heart.
In other words, you refuse to stop mocking and insulting me and anyone who is a Christian.
Good to know.
I would say I feel sorry for you, but I no longer do.
The bed you have made is going to be miserable.

Weltz. If God doesn't exist, what caused the universe to come into existence? There had to have been a creation event (or a series of creation events) of some sort before evolution can even happen. Something cannot evolve from nothing. So, if not God, then what? What exactly sparked that initial creation from which everything else evolved?

How should I know? I wasn't there.
That being said, a belief that there's a deity who watches our every move and keeps track of our transgressions so we can be rewarded or punished post-mortem doesn't wash with me.
A deity who is so jealous and narcissistic he demands constant fealty and prayer to him doesn't sound very plausible.
Any alien being who could poof universes into existence couldn't possibly be so ridiculously petty.

So as far as the bolded. How can you be sure? Also I don't know what God you're describing but it sure isn't the God I know about.

Nope. It's the same world. The world is the world. Yet, you are so angry at God whom you say doesn't exist. So, ok, if He doesn't exist, you still have rape, murder, incest, etc. The Bible has a very clear explanation of this and the sin of man. And, we also have the hope of ultimate justice and the Love of God . In your world, if you draw a sucky hand at life, too bad for you wormfood. If you are raped and murdered, there is no justice.
