@1LonePuma

LOL. Since when is the bible considered history? How can fiction be used to prove anything.

[Spiderpope]

@1LonePuma Having read through your comments, i had wondered when you would fall back on the threat of hell.

I hate to be the one to break this to you, but saying we should believe because otherwise we will end up in hell is no deterrent or argument against atheism because we dont believe in the place.

And quite frankly wishing endless torture on people who dont agree with you proves your beliefs are even more delusional and morally wrong than any atheist argument could.

[1LonePuma]

@Spiderpope: Your choosing to go to Hell is not my choice for you, that's why I write what I do, but if you choose to go, that's your business.

Enjoy!

Bill Gates, what is he doing to world and for poverty and research is incredible and is an Atheist. Plus you believe God because of Greed of heaven and God and we Atheist do good regardless of any expectation of benefit.

I know how it feels to be a parasitic sad suffering atheist. I am mistreated by classmates all the time. I don't have a girlfriend because they won't go out with an atheist.

[1LonePuma]

@1LonePuma: I know you think you have an ax to grind, but I'm only going by the Word of God. If you can't agree with God's word, then I guess you and others like you will not have anything to look forward to. Once you die, it's eternal darkness in the lake of fire. I was simply trying to keep you out, but I see you've made your choice.

You've made your bed so sleep in it.

The end of our conversation
