did not see that coming!

[Jose Miranda]

"Lack of faith" = "faith",

Only by religious logic can two terms that are polar opposites, Atheist and Believer, equate to the same thing. What part of "I have NO faith" do these people not understand?

[Andreas Rohdin]

The part at the end utterly slays me!

Paraphrasing. How about I come there, and fucking kill you, you bald motherfucker!

Classic shit! :D

[Lazarus745]

wow, the last 15 sec of this was great

[Micic00]

It is funny isn't it? It's even ridiculous.

"Do you have faith?"

- NO.

"Well that's the same thing."..

What part of the word "NO" you don't understand?

Sorry for long message, just That Power and Love was so Immediate, I still struggle to explain It tot his day and I still see His Work on the faces of some when we pray together for a new life, so many changed in an instant through Just Accepting Jesus,Unexplainable.And then, the way the Words start working slowly, almost like a kind of osmosis, literally changed the way I lived each and every second.And the way I thought.God Bless. And thankyou,where 1 or more are gathered there His Spirit Is.

Hey yeh, the profile pic, I use it to remind myself of where I had come from, it is the closest visual representation of my madness in drug addiction and gang violence that I could find. It reminds me that whatever the world tells me is good for me, good for my flesh, this must be a complete lie meant to tempt me back into a life of fleshly sin. But, anyways, wish i could Bottle Christs Love and give it to people, it would be easier to 'understand', that renewal, instant lifting of all burdens.

Yeh no worries man thank you and keep strong, just remember when that moment when The Holy Spirit showed Gods Complete Unconditional Love and that Soft Blanket of knowing covered you. I just try to keep that in mind for me because i tend to get too angry and then say stuff to attack instead of remembering where I was when I did not Believe and had not accepted Jesus. Man those where dark days of suffering and hate from to the world.

ur light in a dark place my friend. Nice to see someone sharing the love of jesus. But yea, im just here correcting the logic of a lot of these "Athiest experience" videos, and answering questions wherever I can. Just trying to get the truth out there same as you. If they have no desire for it, that's their choice. As long as they've seen the logic, im good. I must say ur profile pic freaked me out at first.

There has never been single proof that there must be a creator.

Kalam's Cosmological argument, the Teleological argument, T.A.G., Ontological argument all fail. They are all fallacious.

I am completely open to the possibility that a god exists. All I require is demonstrable evidence, reasoned argument and valid & sound logic to support the claim.

Romans 15:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
