Wasn't the point of the thread to provide examples? You'll need much more than a single sentence fragment if you hope to convince ATOT of the existence of God.

This board is overhwelmingly atheist and agnostic.


Why should we waste our time trying to convince you. When judgement day comes you'll have to answer to the lord, and you alone.

sometimes when reading religion threads i remember a Rowan Atkinson sketch about hell
Ah hello!. It's nice to see you all here. As the more perceptive of you probably realised by now, this is Hell. And I am the Devil (good evening), but you can call me Toby, if you like. We try to keep things informal in here, as well as infernal. That's just a little joke of mine. I tell it every time.

Now, you're all here for... eternity! Ooh! Which I hardly need tell you is a heck of a long time, so you'll all get to know each other pretty well by the end. But for now I'm going to have to split you up in groups. WILL YOU STOP SCREAMING! Thank you.

Now, murderers? Murderers over here, please. Thank you. Looters and pillagers over there. Thieves, if you could join them, and lawyers, you're in that lot too.

Fornicators, if you could step forward? My God, there are a lot of you! Could I split you up into adulterers and the rest? Male adulterers, if you could just form a line in front of that small guillotine in the corner.

Em... the French, are you here? If you could just like to come down here with the Germans. I'm sure you'll have plenty to talk about.

Okay, atheists? Atheists over here please. You must be feeling a right bunch of nitwits. Never mind. And finally, Christians. Christians? Ah, yes, I'm sorry but I'm afraid the Jews were right. If you would come down here, that would be really fine.

Okay! Right, well, are there any questions? Yes?

No, I'm afraid there aren't any toilets. If you read your Bible, you might have seen that it was damnation without relief, so if you did not go before you came, then I'm afraid you're not going to enjoy yourself very much... but then I believe that's the idea.

Okay. Well, it's over to you, Adolf! And I'll catch you all later at the barbecue. Bye!

my parents believe in miracles. that they have seen them, and been mircaulously healed.

on the former, ive been with them many times, and saw nothing of the sort.

for the latter: appearently the miracles arent permanent, as they have both been "healed" only to have the symptoms or troubles return soon after. cant say i was really surprised.

simply because they didn't happen in the first place. ever heard of documented myths?
