what would be an actually good reason to believe in a god.

[Unbeliever]

A good reason to believe in God is not having to say you're sorry

Yeah, you can just say "God told me to do it...blame him."

Actually G-d needs to say "sorry" to all of us.  But I am not holding my breath.

Knowing you're a theist, hearing this from you confuses me.

Don't assume that all theists worship G-d, I don't even like Her.

It's less confusing if you've been paying attention to what he writes. He's actually quite insightful, if you can follow the myriad of obscure references he makes.

Longer entries, with full footnotes would take too long, and be too boring.  If I can't put out a post in 1-5 minutes, then I am taking too long.

So...being a Christian gives you an excuse for being an asshole?

Am I an asshole? You give yourself an excuse to be an asshole. God gave you free will!

Don't assume that all theists worship G-d, I don't even like Her.

But isn't the definition of "theist" one who worships a theistic type of God? It seems to me you'd be more of a deist, wouldn't you?

Oh, sorry. I forgot you're a Christian. Let me dumb this down for you with an example to show why what you said was stupid. And because I know you have the memory of a goldfish, I'll quote what you said again: "A good reason to believe in God is not having to say you're sorry"

Example:

*Person A is in a diner, carrying a steak knife when he trips and accidentally stabs Person B in the chest.*

Person B: "Holy crap! You stabbed me!"

Person A: "Well, I'm a Christian, so I don't have to apologize. But if you're not a Christian, I can tell you about Jesus so you don't go to Hell after you're done bleeding to death."

I appreciate effort to reply to me with an actual example.. Although the namecalling and rudeness leave lots to be desire.

Great responsibility to have mb pro here in and around me.
My country has lots of crimes and bad people to take it with no regrets!

Rich as Me? I'm homeless, jobless and penniless. So virtually everyone is richer than me.
