Then I would find that it didn’t stack up. You should know as well as I do the hilarious lack of validity found in creation science.

True, there is a lot of solid research out there (and a whole lot of “nutty”).

That’s what you say. Every Christian invents his own
bastardization of Christianity and then says that all of the other versions are just “false Christianity,” as you are doing.

So instead of investigating/seeking God for yourself (as I’ve already shown), you took a look around, saw all the discrepancies and “warts” and threw it all out.

Love isn’t empty. It’s a little sad that you can’t appreciate love’s amazing power without validation from something else – namely, god.

Tell me something. When was the last time you did something selfless for someone?

Here’s the kicker. You don’t even know what “love’s amazing power” even is if you do not know God.

Really? I feel peace and contentment from having helped someone.

How quickly does it fade?

I’m beginning to think you have some pretty bad motives for helping others, like pleasing god.

Really? I feel peace and contentment from having helped someone. I’m beginning to think you have some pretty bad motives for helping others, like pleasing god. Why not help for the sake of helping?

I help others because people need help.

Doesn’t mean you don’t get tired, frustrated, busy etc. Conflicts in schedules, sacrifice of family to help a stranger.

Tell me, when was the last time you _SACRIFICED_ time with someone important to you to help someone you did not know or even “like”. That what TRUE love is. Loving the people that you find hard to even like.

Tell me.

Think of a person you can’t stand at school. Someone who’s personality conflicts directly with you. A jock? A nerd? A gay person? A redneck? An english teacher? A CHRISTIAN?

It’s easy to help people you like. There is no sacrifice in that. There is no sacrifice in giving someone money when you have plenty, how about giving someone money when you don’t have enough to buy groceries?

You think you are basically a good person. Well, being good is not enough.

A good deed does a lot more than you would think, whereas sucking up to an invisible dictator isn’t going to get you anything. It’s an impure and immoral motive to just try and help people to suck up to god, making civilians just pitiful inferiors caught in the crossfire of your spiritual scattershot of pseduocharity riddled with ulterior motives.

See my previous comment.
