If you only do ONE THING, answer this question:
1)What do you tell someone who UNDERSTANDS the proposition that belief in Jesus is the only way to 'salvation' - but is incapable of believing that the proposition is true?
***
related to that question, but not directly asked - keep them in mind at least. A direct answer would be nice:
2)How do know that the Bible is the product of omniscience?
3)What is it about 'faith' that the Creator finds so endearing? Why not 'love', 'compassion', or 'honesty'?
***
bonus points for answering the questions that I have posted on your video here:
youtube.com/watch?v=JFhdlf0uSG8
just in case, here they are again:
4)As someone who is so skeptical of people's motives on YT (completely understandable!), and so offended by blasphemy, answer me this:
Is there a better way for someone to illustrate their sincerity when saying "I do not believe that this God character exists" then to blaspheme against it?
5)Did God harden the Pharaoh's heart?
6)How are YOU affected by someone else blaspheming?
7)The extent of my interaction with the Hovind crime family was filing the paperwork to counter the fraudulent DMCA claim they filed against me (felony!).
I haven't decided to sue them. Is that neighborly enough?
8)What is more important to you?
a) Discovering and sharing with others what is real, true, and factual
b) Defending and sticking to the ideas and opinions you came here with
9)Is there ANYTHING that could IN PRINCIPLE convince you that your beliefs about your religion are false?
a) Yes, I am always taking new information into account. To be open-minded is to admit that I might be wrong.
b) No! NOTHING can ever convince me that I am wrong. I am close-minded.
Sablechicken, my hypothesis is that you are interested in nothing more than raising a stink, then running away when confronted with legitimate questions or criticism.
The BEST WAY for you to disprove my hypothesis would be to directly answer all nine questions on video.
I feel like I've been more than fair.
thanks!

the books:
Big Bang - Simon Singh
A Brief History of Time - Stephen Hawking

Breaking the Spell - Daniel Dennett
"I'd like to recommend two other books.
'The Language Instinct' by Stephen Pinker.
'Conciousness Explained' by Daniel C. Dennett
Conciousness and language tend to be two areas where theists feel the need to add God, in addition to creation itself. The above books offer elegant natural explanations for both. Although they don't offer full explanations(the brain has not been fully understood yet after all) it is clear that a God or soul is not a key component in any of them."
