The God Debate v2

[Azorces]

Wait. So you're saying that humans aren't perfect to prove that my point is invalid?
Dude the bible was written by man...

Enlightened by god

 

[Tenebrous]

Enlightened by god

Oh haha. Well you might as well believe all of the other books that claim that too, in fact they directly contradict yours LOL.

 

[Azorces]

Considering god told them to write this stuff down I don't see a problem considering god is perfect
Which books

 

[boboy1999]

Enlightened by god

If you have not seen the truth already then you will never open your eyes. You are brainwashed to believe this garbage. Im done debating with you. You ignore everything I say and bring nothing of value to this debate. Go ahead and believe in an imaginary man in the sky. You are ignorant and delusional. Im done with you. Have fun living a lie. You just won't admit you are wrong.

 

[Tenebrous]

Considering god told them to write this stuff down I don't see a problem considering god is perfect

I'm so done, you didn't even solve the problem I presented. Why pick on this book more than others because this is the one of the most blatantly fake?

That's because I'm not wrong I'm pretty sure I disproved your points so me believing makes a lot more sense then wouldn't it

• For the Eastern Orthodox Church, this includes the anagignoskomena, which consist of the Catholic deuterocanon, plus 3 Maccabees, Psalm 151, the Prayer of Manasseh, and 3 Esdras. 4 Maccabees is considered to be canonical by the Georgian Orthodox Church.[10]
• The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church (and its offspring, the Eritrean Orthodox Church) adds various additional books depending on the specific enumeration of the canon (see Ethiopian Biblical canon), but always includes 4 Esdras, the Book of Jubilees, 1 Enoch, 4 Baruch, and 1, 2, and 3 Meqabyan (no relation to the Books of Maccabees).

These books are all false, just like yours. Your book isn't any more special. You were just born from parents who believe in the bible. Why not believe any of the other books above? The all have no evidence.

Again, I feel the need to remind you that it's alright to have different opinions.
This debate isn't going anywhere, there is no way to prove or disprove the existence of god, you have to either believe it, or not believe it. I suggest that you stop arguing, as neither side can be proven.

I agree arguing isn't the best. Im not here to disprove God, I'm here to see if others can prove God. Why believe in a God if you can't prove it. Hopefully this could be a learning ground for both sides. If someone looks at the evidence they may change sides.
