I want to hear more from that little wrinkled purple fella and his mate. Seems to me they have found a path through the bullshit.

@nandatebayo666 Yes. If I'd read a transcript of this debate I could have written in where the clapping should go. Terribly predictable.

[nandatebayo666]

That clapping is so damn annoying.

@hope1029384756 Thank you...this guy confuses me!!! How do you not believe that Jesus died for your sins and is the son of god yet, your working in the church??? He needs to pray.... it's not funny :( It's really sad that he has an influence over people and yet he doesn't believe what he's saying. No faith at all??

[hope1029384756]

He is not a Christian. Plain and simple.

Lets assume that "God's" miracles can be explained logically, even if not by us, but by some super intelligent aliens. What then will become of "God"? Will it still be all-powerful, all-knowing, all-present? Possibly, but the very fact that there is an explanation for what It does, even if we aren't privy to it, means alot. I think people worship God b/c of It's enigma - not having an explanation. Assuming that such a being exist and we could explain Its actions, will it still be "God"?

@ThePurityMan You didn't even address my points; you just quoted a few verses from the Qur'an. So it's obvious you can't argue against anything I've said; you just want to preach Islam to me. My advice to you is THINK more, and not just accept what the Qur'an tells you. If you believe Islam is the truth, then you must test it (i.e. question it and try to argue against it) yourself and see if it holds up. Only then will your faith mean anything.

Oh and, Peace!

@gmn545 Chapter 4 (( And whoever does righteous deeds, whether male or female, while being a believer - those will enter Paradise and will not be wronged, [even as much as] the speck on a date seed.(124) .

And who is better in religion than one who submits himself to Allah while being a doer of good and follows the religion of Abraham, inclining toward truth? And Allah took Abraham as an intimate friend.(125).

.......continue

@gmn545 ...And thus we have made you a just community that you will be witnesses over the people and the Messenger will be a witness over you. And We did not make the qiblah which you used to face except that We might make evident who would follow the Messenger from who would turn back on his heels. And indeed, it is difficult except for those whom Allah has guided. And never would Allah have caused you to lose your faith. Indeed Allah is, to the people, Kind and Merciful.(143) .
