Object: Serious Question. Honest.
Message originates from alt.atheism. You have been warned!
We Godless atheists are sometimes asked by believers of various
stripe: "what would convince you there is a God?".
By the same token I'm curious to know is there is any matter of fact,
that if shown beyond any doubt to be true, or at least beyond
reasonable dispute, that would convince you believers that there is no
God.

I wonder if Weatherlincest is gonna return and explain how on earth any
of this could be considered miraculous.


He'll probably just claim it was a "typo" ;)


I think he'll start claiming that somebody sneaked into his house to
post it.


Alternatively, he could claim that it was the work of demons ;D

That's certainly got precedent. Bob Larson said in one of his books that
demons would take physical form, dress up as Larson, and perform deeds
in his name.

In Muslim tradition, a djinn, should you leave you clothes inside out,
before going to bed, may take them and wear your form, doing all kinds
of evil deeds in your name and with your likeness. Perhaps the muslim
demons have taken a special interest in John...
But what amuses me most about these people who claim some knowledge of
demons is their lack of a primary source: they've never met one and
simultaneously claim they may be defeated by little more than a well
aimed prayer, but are simultaneously more dangerous that a top SAS
member on PCP with a fully loaded personal weapons cache about his
person.
And, of course, most of the "knowledge of demons" comes from
extra-biblical sources that mainly derive from the middle ages, or
much later. Ah - the Golden Dawn has much to answer for in some
ways....

Bob Larson (back when he had a radio and TV show) was a champ at that.
He always provided lurid descriptions of horrible things that demons
could make people do, but when he ever did one of his prized
phone-exorcisms, demons always followed FCC regulations and even waited
patiently on hold while Larson did live commercials.
I miss those days. That was a funny show.

Of course. Unless you should have the misfortune to fall into their
hands. In which case in many cases it becomes "dead funny," where the
operative word is "dead".

Pre. Larson's heyday was in the early and mid 90's. His show went into a
pretty steep decline around 1997, going pretty-much to an "all reruns"
format. It was finally mercy-killed in 2001.

Yeah. Next time you're at a secondhand bookstore, look for "In The Name
Of Satan" in the religion section.
The folks at "The Door" magazine gave Larson a special dishonorable
mention that year for coming up with the most creative new excuse for
televangelist behavior.

Ya know, I was actually in a xian bookstore this past Sunday - Must admit it was
more than a tad creepy to see all those "Left Behind" and "Bibleman" videos as
well as a large assortment of xian bumper stickers. They also have a large book
section, so perhaps Mr. Larson's book was there amongst them ;)

As a matter of interest, tradition holds that demons who, as you
delicately put it, bang, men subsequently "change suit" and then bang
women, the object being to produce a demon child by delicate use and
manipulation of the stolen semen.
Which I think tells us something of the books written late at night
by guys who'd been celibate for decades.

Hmmm, well according to "The Dictionary of Witchcraft and Demonology", it was
supposed that demons stole semen from corpses prior to having sex with women -
This also explains why supposedly the women complained about "icy emissions".
Eeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwww ;)

I wonder if Weatherlincest is gonna return and explain how on earth any

I doubt it. Johny the Bappissed post. He doesn't explain.

If an oversized oil fire already is a miracle, or a priest abusing

as well.

Would that make my husband a miracle worker? ;D

When my husband came home from his fishing trip, he said it felt like he'd been

There are still miracles happening; however, in your current state of

My $100 says if you ever saw a miracle, you'd know it.
Miracles, by definition, break natural law. Jesus walking on water
/levitating, Jesus raising a dead person after 4 days. Jesus healing a
lame man merely by commanding him to "get up!"
Not just stories, but real time miracles.
Or a few I've experience. I've literally felt the hand of God on my
body. I've witnessed a healing. I've survived having two guns pointed
at me, and I've survived witnessing a murder. I've been in some 20
incidents in my life where I KNEW I wasn't going to survive; I'm still
here, 57 years later.
However, you need not concern yourself with MY miracles. Walk into a
Christian bookstore and look for the books on miracles.

dis-belief, you will hardly go to a church to witness one, will you?


I've been to church many times. I "witnessed" what they called

If you are talking about "charismatic/pentecostal churches" you didn't
witness any miracles in one of those.
How about my mom being eaten alive with cancer, every classic symptom.
24 hours before her "exploratory surgery" our family held a prayer
vigil that probably involved 500 people around the world. When the
doctor opened her up "just to be sure", she had no cancer. She had
been healed.

That was a DUMB reaction! You assume SO MUCH. Do you see ANYTHING in
a pretender church that resembles what Jesus did or what the apostles
did? No! It's all trickery.

He didn't. The Lazarus story comes to us from Egypt, where his
name was el-azarus.
I wouldn't expect you to know that, though. You're not smart
enough to do research.

Define "miracle".


My $100 says if you ever saw a miracle, you'd know it.

Miracles, by definition, break natural law. Jesus walking on water
/levitating, Jesus raising a dead person after 4 days. Jesus healing a
lame man merely by commanding him to "get up!"


<sigh> Magicians do this all the time. They have been doing this for
THOUSANDS of years. That's how they became priests in ancient cultures.


< S I G H !! > I I can be childish, too) And the miracles of Jesus
were not/ are not "magic" which is trickery.

How then did Jesus raise a dead man who had been in the grave 4 days?


He didn't. The Lazarus story comes to us from Egypt, where his
name was el-azarus.

I wouldn't expect you to know that, though. You're not smart
enough to do research.

LOL! You're funny. I worked on 2 separate Master's programs
simultaneously as my grad school.
And 3 different schools at the same time.
Your bs about the Lazarus story coming from "elsewhere" was only
invented to discredit Christianity; a total waste of time.
And your ad hominem is noted and duly pissed on.

Which still tells me that you didn't do the research on the
Lazarus story.

Nope. That's a nice rationalization. And it it duly pissed on.
