What happened to the my friends box? Damn new layouts...

"Miracles associated with the Church"?
Well there were also many that were associated to Zeus by the Greeks, to Allah by Muslims or Vishnu by Hindus, I guess we should pray all of them?

Now the most interesting part of your answer
" I easily could've chosen another, but I did a little research into others, and decided upon Christianity"??
May I know what type of "Research"? and why did they lead you to accept Christianity specifically?

Because someone could have wrote back
" I easily could've chosen another, but I did a little research into others, and decided upon Voodoo"

It doesn't make things any clearer

In any case, you should be ex communicated for the mere fact of "Being not opposed for Priests getting married"
Aren't you aware that according to your Doctrine, anyone who goes against the words of the Pope, "representative of God" on Earth, is indulging in Blasphemy?
And you dare call yourself a Catholic...you're in fact a Protestant...not that there's anything better in that

"and I also look at the beauty of such things as nature and women and know there has to be a God for this"??
Yeah, I also see that every time I hear on the news that innocent Men, Women and Children are dying of Hunger and Malnutrition...
If God exists and is omnipotent, then by not acting to help innocents, I wonder what difference there would be between Him and the Devil...

If I understand Correctly, the Devil makes bad things happen, God LET bad things happen

As far as the Child Abuse Cases are concerned, I advise you to re-read yourself because your post gave me some chills
You're trying to find excuses for the priests who unashamedly abused and molested young children, boys and girls, who are now marked for life?
Ratzinger knew what happened, and nothing you'll ever say could make anyone forget or forgive what took place in your church
Retaining Information was as much a criminal act as those who committed those crimes
Just despicable

And by the way, Paedophilia has nothing to do with with being married or not
It's a mental illness that surfaces whether one's married or not

Gosh it's been three months now but I'll still answer your rant for the sake of it

"I ran into a giant atheist/satanic mob one night,"
I always thought you were intelligent enough not to confuse "Atheists" with "Satanists"
Satanists, in principle, follow the Devil's Words, Atheists don't even believe in the existence of "The Devil"...
and well do you really see Nobel Winning Atheist Physicists as "Satanists"??...just idiotic...

And well, no you weren't tourists spending money in Spain, but parasites dilapidating 40 Million Euros of Tax payers money in a debt ridden economy

You actually went to the Catholic World Youth Day in Madrid??...
Were you among the Groupies who were dilapidating Spanish Money in a time of Financial Crisis just to see your dear former Hitlerian Youth Member Joseph Ratzinger?
Hope no Young Old Child was there, one never knows what goes on in the mind of a Sick Catholic Priest and of course, one shouldn't count on Ratzinger to divulge anything...when we know that he didn't say a word about the Child Abuse Cases while he was Head of the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith...
And he dares speak about morality....what a Hypocrite....

Do answer the relevant points of my former comments though, I would really like to hear your response...

If you naively think that the debate on God's Existence "ends" with the demand of proof...then I'm sorry to say that you're gonna be quite disappointed in the future...
EVERYTHING is based on proof, it's the founding stone of ALL debates,...if "evidence" is your weakness then your arguments don't stand on anything...

You might call the debate amusing or boring.....I'll just remember that you were just too dishonest to go forward with it when you faced the ultimate obstacle....Proof!!

One day do watch the vids I recommended, that might be enlightening...
In the meantime, farewell

P.S: Notre petit débat ne m'empêche pas de profiter pleinement des mes Vacances, si je prends une semaine pour te répondre, c'est bien parce que je suis occupé à faire autre chose....:))

Oh I wasn't here to ruin your summer....Happy Holidays....

Now, now...If me asking about proof is where the debate ends for you, then I'm quite sorry about that, because that's usually where it starts...
The question is not only about why you are willing to accept the existence of a non-provable being, but why specifically the Abramahic God?, and even more why follow the Biblical Scriptures?
You could have followed the Qu'ran or just restrained yourself to the Torah, but what made you specifically fall for the Bible?...Is it the simple fact that you were born in a Christian Family?

And let's forget the Abramahic God, why not the Hindu Gods, The Zoriastrian one, the Greek Mythology....the list is endless...There's even the Flying Spaghetti Monster if you wish, ever heard of it?

For those of you wondering what's with the comments with Varoonmg. I got in a religious debate for the hell of it is all....

Just one data
The Most Brilliant Scientists in the US- among whom around 200 Nobel Laureates- are regrouped at the National Academy of Science ( NAS ), a study made within the group found out that 93% of them neither believed in a God nor Superior Being...
Stephen Hawkings, the Great Cambrigde Physicist, concluded in his latest publication that no God was necessary for the Big Bang to happen...

How long are you going to distort the Bible to make it say what it didn't imply?...It's becoming more and more ridiculous
and as a Believer, the Burden of Proof lies on you, can anyone prove the existence of God?, if yes, then the debate is closed, otherwise, you don't have an iota of proof
