"as with Abraham's believing god was counted to him as righteousness..."

WTF? That doesn't make any sense, it is certainly not any so ...[text shortened]... ng whatsoever on the questions I was asking you could
actually answer my questions.[/b]
If you knew the Holy Bible you would know what I was referring to. So since
you do not know the context of my statement, that is proof you do not know
the Holy Bible.

The point of the 'absurd' example he gave about the dinosaurs walking down the

evidence that the dinosaur existed.
He had no video footage, there were no crushed cars or dinosaur footprints, there
were no other eyewitnesses except eventually ey were genuine experiences of god or not?" it is not
a trivial question. "
As I have already said this guy is a hypocrite and his thinking is distorted. The fact
is that eyewitness evidence is one of the strongest sources of evidence given
in a court of law. Any form of evidence can be discounted if there is other
evidence to contradict it. There is evidence that contradicts the evidence that
has been given for evolution. So I have just as much right to discount his idea
that God does not exist, if fact, I have more right because the guy has distorted
thinking. I have yet to see one piece of evidence to prove that the theory of
evolution is true. Where are they hiding this mountain? People believe in
evolution not because there is an invisible mountain proving it, but because
they do not want to be accountable to God. You are asking for me to produce
physical proof of something spiritual. Christ is the only one that can do that.
So you will just have to wait until He returns for that or accept the proofs we
already have, like the Sun and the moon and his marvelous designed creatures.

Murder and mayhem in the name of Allah. Is that coherent enough for you?

If I thought a god was telling me anything then I must be hearing voices and would know I should go to a doctor.
If I thought a god was telling me to kill a stranger, no questions asked, I wouldn't kill ( unless I am so far gone that I do it without knowing it ) but I will go to a doctor with great haste and warn everyone to stay away from me because I have become insane and dangerous.
If a theist thinks that a god is telling him to do such a thing, then I hope he realises that he is completely insane and seeks professional help fast and without killing anyone.
-the scary part is the fact that many theists will believe that they are not insane and would kill. That sort of mentality leads to theists flaying aircraft into tall buildings and could one day make one of those typical stupid religious nuts start world war three.

It's so tempting but we've discussed this so many times before and you just don't get it.

I am glad to hear you would go to a doctor to be checked out for insanity.
There is a good chance that could be true, since you do not know God like
Abraham did.

But you wouldn't, you would quite willingly follow the instructions! But you have no more way of verifying that it really is God than Humy.

i really can't take that question seriously. even though i know you haven't read the bible, i'm sure you are aware of the murder and mayhem committed in the name of yahweh since such topics have been discussed here.

You apparently believe murder and mayhem has been committed in the name of
Yahweh, but can you prove it? Could it be that it was all committed in the name
of Allah?
