#34 Alfred1
“Let’s face facts… if your politically correct people all vanished tomorrow…Islam would likely shrink and disappears…but its your existence that gives them the zeal to carry on…to get to you.”
You idiot. They get their zeal from God, just like you do (presumably – some here suspect its meth). The more militant Muslims are motivated by America’s continued presence in Saudi Arabia and support for the fascist Saudi regime.
Your always blaming someone else, mate. Stop your finger wagging and pray for forgiveness. You’ll be first against the wall when the Kingdom of Heaven comes to earth, I suspect.
Alfred1 you have some serious brain washing issues. It’s brainless people like you who dwell so much on death, and the end of the world, that you seem like your own live is empty and meaningless.
This is the same mentality as suicidal depressed people who jump off bridges. The only differences is they really DO NOT want to die, yet you do. How is this considered sane?
All at the same time you come off as a conceded know-it-all douchebag, which is very typical of Christians. They think they are special and will have a special place for them in heaven after rapture. However you’re all closet fascists; you really don’t want other kinds of people to be with you, despite how evangelical you pretend to be.
Hey alfred..cut the crap. When you write statist why not just write what you really mean: asshole. Your posts make a lot more sense that way.
Hugh and Sir FRAGaLOT,
Wingnuts like Alfred, Colonel Clink in the video, and possibly Petra (although there is a definite rubber fetish there which I can respect) are basically members of a death cult. They are no different than many Christian, Islamic, and even Green fundamentalists (Poseiden’s wrath and Gaia’s revenge!) who want death rained down on the infidels.
Alfred, Mark Lynas, John Hagee, Mesbah Yazdi are no different than a Jim Jones. They are all smug, humorless bastards who worship death, not life. You can argue with him, personally I prefer insulting the crap out of him. 😉
Alfred, we know you are not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but please! I asked you a few days ago to prove to all of us that God exists and you disappeared!
OK, I know you want this settled so this thread will for me. How about you?
Thanks
Alfred – I have a follow up question, sorry.
Can you please prove to all of us that God exists?
I know, I wasn’t clear before.
Hey guys…that’s why they’re called evangelical….they evangelize as in “spreading the word.” SFW? The Muslims can tell them all about Allah….seems fair.
Thus proving that Christianity is no different than Islam. The Judeo-Christian-Islamic religion is one. Glory be to the xenophobic desert war god. All hail the spoiled child in the sky.
Praise the lord and pass the ammunition.
#1 – Alfred1,
Christ is the truth
Dare I ask? How do you know? What is the evidence? If we take a vote, Allah gets more votes than Y’Shua.
If we take a vote on any particular god, more people believe said god to be false than believe it to be true. So, taking any god by a popularity contest, they all lose.
If we’re not voting, all are false gods. There is no evidence at all for any of them.
BTW, don’t bother quoting scripture as an answer. It just sounds stupid to anyone with half a brain.
Scripture cannot prove that scripture is correct. It can only prove the existence of scripture.
Alfie: Do you believe in fire-breathing dragons? There is a wealth of scripture about them.
What is your real hard evidence for the existence of any god? What is your real hard evidence that Christ is the right one?
No scripture now. Just evidence. Go.
Hey Alfie,
I just realized … Your god states that there are other gods.
Thou Shalt Have No Other Gods Before Me.
Islam states that there are no other gods.
There is no God but God.
Do you think they have anything on you?
Knock, knock. Alfred, hey, I’m over here. #42, remember?
Ok, maybe you missed the post, I’ll give you that then. But here it is again:
Alfred – I have a follow up question, sorry.
Can you please prove to all of us that God exists?
I know, I wasn’t clear before.
Thanks.

Actually the quote is “I am the Lord, your God. You shall not have any other gods before me.”
#41 – Alfred1,
#40 It is elementary God exists…I do, therefore, He does…there are no other plausible causes for humanity’s existence…
I think you just proved god is a vindictive son of a bitch who hates most of his creation. No. That can’t be right.
But, let’s take a look at the human eye, shall we?
The rods and cones all face backwards producing an inverted image of reflected light. The brain then compensates by re-inverting the image for us.
To top that off, the nerves all gather together inside the eye and have to go through the wall of the eye to get out of it an go to the brain. This leaves a medium sized blind spot in each eye that the brain must again correct for.
Compare this with the eyes of squid, octopi, and cuttlefish. Unlike mammal eyes, the rods and cones face forward. The nerves need not go through the retina to get to the brain. The image is clear and not inverted. No additional processing is necessary for either an inverted image or a blind spot.
Does god like squid more than humans?
Was s/he practicing on humans before perfecting squid?
Or, perhaps evolution produced an eye that was good enough and our species survived. The system may be jury rigged, but it mostly works. So, nature says that’s fine.
Bad design? Certainly. Adequate for evolution? Yup.
#41 wrote “It is elementary God exists… I do, therefore, He does… there are no other plausible causes for humanity’s existence.”
God of the Gaps, an explanation that is especially well suited for children age eight and younger. And the Lord thy God will torture you for eternity if you refuse to believe the writings of men who died thousands of years ago, yet our very shy God won’t so much as lift a finger to make a personal appearance to simply prove he exists.
Yes, Alfred1, this all sounds perfectly plausible. I feel so foolish for having doubted 😉
Oh… and Alfie … toss those alphabits around for a few billion years. Then set the rules such that when ABCD is spelled out, it self replicates. I think you’ll find a world full of ABCD strings.
Don’t worry if you don’t understand what I mean. It’s just because you happen to have the brain of a gnat. I guess god slipped up on that too.
Alfred1, proof that god doesn’t exist…
Flight 4:2
They recalled with contempt that not so long ago they had thought themselves fine fellows for being able to fly round a room.
Island 5:33
“Not now, Smee,” Hook said darkly. “He is only one, and I want to mischief all the seven. Scatter and look for them.”
Children 12:17
The pirates, listening avidly at the mouths of the trees, heard the question put by every boy, and alas, they also heard Peter’s answer.
Gary, the Dangerous Infidel and Scott. Kant (who was a heck of a lot smarter than me) spent a lot of years trying to prove the existence of God and concluded that the “sufficiency argument” didn’t work, along with a bunch of other arguments. I won’t bore you with the details.
However he would have liked your comments – and he believed in God. 😀
You see, Alfred, Peter Pan created the imaginary earth which he saw was both good and evil, and He named it Neverland. You live in Neverland Alfred, just as I do.
Flight 4:148: Thus sharply did the terrified three learn the difference between an island of make-believe and the same island come true.
Island 5:2: Feeling that Peter was on his way back, the Neverland had again woke into life. We ought to use the pluperfect and say wakened, but woke is better and was always used by Peter.
Island 5:7: Would that he could hear us, but we are not really on the island, and he passes by, biting his knuckles.
@Alfred1 = Brain Washed Wack Job
You see what you want to see. Your brain is too small to comprehend real truth.
I always find ironic about the various arguments trotted out as proofs for the existence of God is all of them were formulated by people who rejected them as insufficient. Yet they get recycled over and over again.
The other irony is that people who gullibly swallow these arguments are the same people who rail against evidence based theories and proofs as insufficient.
JimR, I like the Neverland analogy. To me, stories make more interesting arguments and portray shades of meaning best.
Alfredone… I thought your God was such a loving God, but I see all too many followers – such as yourself and most of the folks at Fox News – spewing hate, hate and hate. If it’s hating Muslims, it’s hating the President. It’s not hating them, it’s hating the illegal immigrants. If it’s not hating all of these, it’s hating pro-choice people… und so weiter.
Alfred! Alfred! Don’t leave yet… If you believe in fairies clap your hands.
Tink just drank Peter’s poisoned medicine!
… Thanks qb, scripture from the book of Peter Pan always lifts my spirits.
Alfred – Rational question to the extreme: Please prove that God exists.
Thanks
JimR & qb, should these American soldiers in the video who are handing out Bibles to people in Afghanistan also be directed to distribute translated copies of Peter Pan?
God tells me it’s the fair and balanced thing to do.
#63 Can you prove that God doesn’t exist?
Not so easy is it…
What’s it all about, Alfie?
While you don’t have to be brain dead to be a Christian evangelical right wing nut, it sure makes the pain of the brain removal a lot easier.
As Alphie told us in another thread, the King James Version is a poor translation and not to be trusted. All English translations can’t be trusted. So why does Alphie continue to quote the KJV?
Which god does ‘Looking4Truth’ et al refer to? The muslim god, the christian god, the hindu god, the buddhist god, the jewish god or some other deity?
They are all just figments of these Dick-Heads imaginations.
Grow-up and start thinking for yourselves, and don’t be led by these snake-oil salesman!
I truly feel sorry for anyone that wastes their time on religious activities that involve a supreme being or lesser deities. 110% BS
