Apparently, non-believers can be very belligerent and rude.

Yes, we are constantly going into skeptic forum sections and pushing absurd apologetics onto atheists aren't we. Oh wait, no, that'd be the delusional theists being belligerent and rude wouldn't it.

Do you believe in evolution? If yes, have you ever witnessed one type of animal that turned into a human? Or another type of animal?

You want a crocoduck? Laughable delusion.

Oh, but then who would you talk to if we weren't here?

I assume that you ignore the evidence and disbelief evolution. Please correct me if I am wrong.

No, evolution proceeds more slowly than one human lifespan. I have seen the peppered moths who evolved from white moths in a comparatively short time because of soot pollution.

I would not say deluded but your experiences with the Holy Spirit could be simply creations of your brain.

Why do you say "could?" You are now qualifying your verbiage. I say I heard the Holy Spirit. Are you saying that, since I am not delusional, I am lying to you? Maybe it is non-believers who cannot hear the Holy Spirit because of simply creations of their brains since none can hear from the Holy Spirit.

I was just considering this and thinking, what would convince me that it is not a delusion? The most likely thing would be some evidence, the one thing that always seems to elude the delusional theists. I can't think why.

I said could because your experiences could be purely creations of your brain. I am not saying that you are a liar. I do not doubt that you have had the experiences. How could I be creation of my brain? My parents had quite a lot to do with my creation.

I can understand why non-believers cannot think why. It appears that non-believers can be so rude as to say others are delusional when they were not even there when the conversation was held. I guess non-believers have some mystical power to just know. And they think I am delusional. LOL!

Exactly what are you saying here Elvira? Clarify please.

I don't see atheists conversing with one another...they're too busy trying to dispute what believers are saying...is that clear enough for ya?

Communicating here is a waste of time. You get labeled things that are not true. Some are downright rude. It's a good thing I have Bible study tonight.

Some non-believers. We must have accuracy in these matters. The conversation could be just a creation of your brain. As far as I am concerned claims about a holy spirit are never backed up with evidence. If I claimed to have regular conversations with Vishnu then there is no way that can be classed as evidence. In his book The Autobiography Of A Yogi by Paramhansa Yogananda he claims to have met Krishna. Would you believe this to be evidence for the existence of Krishna?

True enough. Not all non-believers are battier than a belfry. Sorry, God may have asked me to say that.

May have? I always know when somebody asks me to say something.

I think I may have already answered this, but I have been out for a bit and will be needing to take a shower and go to Bible study tonight. A theologian is far more likely to have proof than me. Since some folks here are saying they see no reason to consult with a theologian, it would appear that some are blindly Atheistic.

No one has proof of gods. All that theologians know is whatever religious writings they have studied. You can't study gods; there are no theological studies of gods. No one studies fictional characters except in the context of the stories they appear in. And all theology has is fictional stories. You can study religions and religious tenets and practices, but you can't study the actual belief in people's heads or the basis of that belief.

I've seen one many years ago. After having partaken of too much Spirit(s).

Can't remember whether it or they were holy though and then again maybe it was just a duck bill platypus.

:lol:

What you see or don't see is really irrelevant in this context. The irrelevancy confirmed by it clearly having escaped you that many here talk to each other about all sorts of things, just not about atheism. Nor from that capacity.

It's to be doubted that any would consider it a particularly great loss if the likes of you were to disappear from this forum or had never even made an entry.
