Are you going to attend a trial, not pursuing additional info and only hearing one side?

Are you familiar with what jurors do? They recess and share info and consult with each other.

Atheists are the ones who've done the contorted thinking.

They don't even agree with the historical nature of God as upheld by His people for thousands of years.

If an atheist would just say I don't believe in God and be done with it then I'd believe he's an atheist.

All this arguing just implies to me that they are scared about their decision so they keep returning to consider it and argue over it.

If a decision is made and final then there's no need to keep revisiting it, is there?

And don't give me a political reason for it. A lot of atheists on here have denied they are militant atheists.

It sounds like God's playing you on the hook.

Jesus Christ said to his disciple: "Come, follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." (Matt. 4:19)

Yes I've sat on a jury, in fact it was only 4 months ago. Have you, or are you just going by what you've seen on tv? It's not all a happy clappy info sharing and consultation exercise. It involves the sort of dynamics we see whenever you throw a group of strangers together. I could go into more detail but I don't see the relevance of doing a social study here.

As for the trial, if god's defence is the OT then he's in big trouble.

God's not on trial.

It's an analogy.

Re: Jesus Christ - Grandiose Religious Delusion?

I'm just saying putting Him on trial isn't feasible.

There is no one to enforce anything on. He's just a fictional villain (thankfully) that we can find guilty based on the terrible deeds he has committed in the books that have been written about him.

Please read Lamentations 3:33 and take it to heart.

Re: Jesus Christ - Grandiose Religious Delusion?

Only reading fact based books at the moment. Will get back to fiction at some point though.
