Zone1 Contradictions or Discrepancies?

[ding]

I side with people seeking God not the ones who claim God visited.

That's not a criteria for me. I side with truth, not people.

It’s not fair to argue because you have wishful thinking involved. Not me. I’d like for there to be a heaven and manual on how to get in but nothing like that exists.

I think you have that wishful thinking thing backwards. I have no preference for an outcome. It is what it is.

As an agnostic atheist I still talk to god. I just know he knows I’m right about organized religions.

Consider that Christ did not leave us with a Bible. He left us with a Church. And, the people on whom he built his church were quite imperfect. All of humanity and their organizations are that strange combination of strengths and weaknesses. Those who follow a religion/faith and focus on the weaknesses, will surely find them--while overlooking the strengths. Ironically, those who dismiss organized faith/religion will focus on their own strengths while overlooking their own weaknesses.

Hung up on heaven? Are you kidding? The agnostic in me says if there is a heaven I’m going despite not believing in The God of Abraham.

Heaven is a gift. Yet it matters what is being built along the way.

You forgot to end the prayer properly. Let me do it for you

“There’s only one person more incredible than the Incredible Hulk, and that’s my Lord and savior Jesus Christ.”

"and michelle obama is a man"

Amen.

True or false? Putting words in other people's mouths and then bashing them for it is wrong.

Why do you seek conflict?

Never heard that one. If you are looking for prayers, here is one I start the day with:

Breathe into me O Holy Spirit that my thoughts may all be holy.
Act in me O Holy Spirit that my work, too, may be holy.
Draw my heart O Holy Spirit that I love but what is holy .
Strengthen me O Holy Spirit to defend all that is holy.
Guard me the O Holy Spirit that I always may be holy.
Speak O Holy Spirit that I speak may be holy.

This prayer comes from St. Augustine (354-430)

As an agnostic atheist I still talk to god. I just know he knows I’m right about organized religions. And maybe god rewards intelligence. In that case you’re going to hell for global warming denial. Not that’s Satan shit right there.

This thread is about 'contradictions in the Bible'. Not 'contradictions among atheists'.

An agnostic atheist talks to god, because he knows god knows he is right. So funny. Oxymoronic.

Hell is a joke. Not day? Not 1 year of torture? Eternity? What kind of god is that?

This is interesting. The agnostic in you says 'if there is a heaven, you are going though you reject the God of the Bible. Gee, how do you 'know' that when you don't know if there is a god at all?

You say 'hell is a joke'. How do you know when you don't know if there is a god or not?

Concerning 'eternity in hell' you ask, 'What kind of God is that?' Answer: the kind that lives in eternity.

Point being: You don't have to believe it. But don't then say you 'know' while at the same time, claiming as an agnostic, that you can't know.
