Evidence for God from Science

banned wrote:in the interests of fairness I have added a Strobel (The Case for Christ) to my wish list on Amazon, and if I'm allowed to stay, will tell you what I think of it in a few weeks, and you can tell me what you thought of The God Delusion.

Two of my favorite books because of the "lite" science stuff, are:

The Hidden Face of God
and
The Science of God

I really enjoyed these books by Gerald L. Schroeder. He has others that I like also, but these two are my faves. Maybe after you read The Case for Christ?

In the mean time, next time I go to my local bookstore, I'll look and see if they have The God Delusion to see/understand your perspective better.

I am amazed at this turn of events.

You are very lucky, rmil65. The moderators here are very forgiving. Very, very forgiving. If I had been a moderator, you'd still be in a sewer somewhere, en route to a waste treatment plant...then again, I am a former atheist and still have stuff to learn about forgiveness.
Pardon my foolishness!

I'm bowled over, I'm knocked to the ground! BMW is being nice as well! Surely, we are in the last days!

I think it's pretty cool you are back on here rmil65. I do agree with you on the sarcasim and ridicule part. When I start getting like that in a discussion, and it happens more than I'd like to admit, I just try to back out for a while so my emotions aren't speaking for me. Lee Strobel's "Case for a Creator" is a good book too, but perhaps I am over zealous.

Is this hyperbole?

Atheists don't know anything about forgiveness? Is this what you meant to imply?

Hm.

Well...no. You are actually very much like a BMW: taut, tight, to-the-point. Nothing wrong with that...but you ain't no Cadillac.

I can tell from your reply that your head is in a vise. With your hand, reach up and grasp the vise's handle. Rotate it counter-clockwise to release your head. Breathe deeply. You should be feeling OK by tomorrow.

Now, let us patiently wait for rmil65's return.

Vise? Um, no. I just found your response - um - interesting. Provocative. In the anonymity that is an internet discussion board - where tone and inflection that can reveal much about intent is lost - one can often feel misrepresented. So I am seeking clarity. Was your statement hyperbole, or did you really mean it, verbatim? I'm just curious. And I gather you didn't mean that all atheists know nothing of forgiveness. Perhaps just you, in your former life.

So there's nothing vice-like in my queries at all. Simply honest inquisition. Not that I have anything at stake in rmil's state of banning...just following the thread.

Ok Firstem..Germanreallylongname,
That vice comment really had me laughing, pretty funny stuff I must admit.

I feel really sexy for some reason...I'll take taut, tight and to-the-point. I wont get into the metaphorical points between the two.
