Please don't do this. I already lambasted Fngr for doing the same thing.

Can you offer any proof? Perhaps non-scientific? Maybe some sort of logical, philosophical proof? This has been attempted many times throughout history.
Pssst - I did - your book, and it's complete bullshit.
The most sinful of places is where God needs us the most my friend. Jesus did not come for the righteous, he came for the sinners. That is why he dined in the homes of tax collectors and whores while everyone judged him for it.
old testament had a god that was a big bully to anyone against him.
Roman empire ruled, and people were sick of it.
all of a sudden you have Christ who preaches a whole new message of loving your neighbor, and whatsoever you do to the least of these, you do unto me.
It was a refreshing message at the time, but the message had a big pile of shit behind the curtain.
thats your fucking religion.
Um..yes.
I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotisms.
-- Albert Einstein, obituary in New York Times, 19 April 1955, quoted from James A Haught, "Breaking the Last Taboo" (1996)
I do not believe in immortality of the individual, and I consider ethics to be an exclusively human concern with no superhuman authority behind it.
-- Albert Einstein, 1954, from Albert Einstein: The Human Side, edited by Helen Dukas and Banesh Hoffman, Princeton University Press
Scientific research is based on the idea that everything that takes place is determined by laws of nature, and therefore this holds for the action of people. For this reason, a research scientist will hardly be inclined to believe that events could be influenced by a prayer, i.e. by a wish addressed to a Supernatural Being.

Um..yes.

Fuck you man. IF this god character is real, then he will be the only one to judge me. So why don't you take your pagan christian shit to south america or some shit. they need you there more. i think.
Says who? Paul? Paul was a Pharisee!Jesus first came to save the Jews, Gods holy people, but when the Pharisees mocked him and actively tried to stop him from giving his Gospel, he then gave God's grace to the Gentiles. Us basically/
nah you said why are you posting on here and you said you were because where the sin is god needs you the most blah blah and that is judging me in my eyesI do not judge you my friend, I see what goes against God's will and I call it for what it is. I have sinned and I continue to sin now, but it is my faith in Christ to constantly help me and forgive me is what saves me.
Crap my bad I meant Peter.Says who? Paul? Paul was a Pharisee!
So what you're saying is that God was pissed off at the Pharisees, so he used a Pharisee, who never actually ever met or saw Jesus in person, to convince the Gentiles to join his flock?
That doesn't make a lick of sense at all.

I can keep going if you want to keep being ignorant.

“My position concerning God is that of an agnostic. I am convinced that a vivid consciousness of the primary importance of moral principles for the betterment and ennoblement of life does not need the idea of a law-giver, especially a law-giver who works on the basis of reward and punishment.”
“The idea of a personal God is quite alien to me and seems even naïve.”
“It seems to me that the idea of a personal God is an anthropological concept which I cannot take seriously."
"I cannot conceive of a personal God who would directly influence the actions of individuals, or would directly sit in judgment on creatures of his own creation."
"I have repeatedly said that in my opinion the idea of a personal God is a childlike one."
He may have "believed in God" in a very abstract sense, but he certainly wasn't traditionally religious. He definitely wouldn't be defending Christianity or its silly laws.
