A number of diabetic children die this way. Type one diabetes is very treatable but very fatal if not treated. I think those parents have the right to martyr themselves if they want to but sacrificing children??? To me it is murder, pure and simple.

These arguments are futile. There is no point in arguing with the opposite side seeing as no one is willing to budge. Although I maintain my opinion that god is non-existent, I have come to realize over the years that stressing my opinions onto other people is annoying for both parties. Let people believe what they want, even if you think otherwise. Although I am willing to defend my particular point of view, I will never force it upon others. Protesting your views depicts weakness.

Every Icon for Evolution is proven not possible by examining ALL the evidence. Ultimately, the only reason people believe in it is because they are either ignorant of ALL the facts, or they dont want to believe in God because of there lust. I could prove to you that the Bible is scientifically proven to only be written by one supernatural Author (God), but I feel I would be waisting my time. You seem to not want to believe regardless of what evidence that could be displayed.

You havent addressed how any of the miracles I mentioned can be scientifically explained (probably because they cant be). Its obvious and observable that you are the one throwing rational thinking out the window. Evolution involves quite irrational thinking, give me one example of a beneficial mutation (THIS HAS TO BE WHERE THERE IS A INCREASE OF GENETIC INFO) You will find there is not a single example given for this case.

You are very religious about atheism, did you ever think about that? it is a religion by the way. Godly people don't kill. So this idea in your head of "Godly People", is a delusion that the people doing these things are Godly. Saying a prayer or reading the Bible doesn't make you Godly, it is being a doer of the Word by letting Christ perform it in you. So many "Christians" out there don't understand this concept, so there ends up being no distinguish between them and someone like you.

And finally,a question to the followers of Christi-insanity; If these people were so strong in their faith, then why did they frantically call 911 when this girl died??? If God was going to take care of everything, why didn't he get off his lazy ass and do it??? I'll tell you why---- for the same reason he does'nt do anything else on this planet---- HE'S A FUCKING MYTH. Pure and simple. I call God a myth every single day... and I know damn well he isnt' going to do ANYTHING about that either.

Also, keep in mind that the most Godly people on the planet are the ones who are blowing everything (including themselve) up.

My words to you are not meant to change your mind about anything.... simply because I know that's not possible. You are indoctrinated, and rational thinking isn't part of the deal. You don't possess powers that I don't, and thus, to me, there is no way you can know that God is real. And if he IS real, I don't want anything to do with a guy that has such a track record of violence and cruelty. If god does exist, he needs to show himself, and not require faith of people. That's just soooo slimy.

also, my friends high blood pressure was worse case scenario. He had to be on tons of meds otherwise he would have died. His case was incurable, and now he is cured because he trusted in God. Dale Nuemann I believe was a little legalistic and without the faith needed for his daughters healing. God doesn't fail, its our faith that can fail. If we fully believe beyond a doubt that what we've asked for will come to pass, then it will. I have personally experienced this and so have many others.

rest of the contractions. She said she felt a little pain when the baby was actually coming out, however not even remotely comparable to the amount of pain she should have when giving birth. By the way, the baby was born Breech, which isnt allowed in hospitals. They always do a c-section. We had the child at home with 3 mid wives present. They witnessed it a entirely agreed that the whole thing was supernatural. It is not mere coincidence that the pain left herimmediatelywhenwe'dsaythank­youjesus

One other thing I would like to point out is that my wife had a supernatural childbirth with our first and only child who is 16 months old now. What I mean by supernatural is that she didnt take any pain medicines and trusted Jesus to take the pain away. we quoted scriptures during every contraction and she would have no pain. A couple times she pain when I was taking a nap and she wasnt quoting scriptures. When I woke up we started saying thank you Jesus and the pain immediately left for the
