    Whatever god he believed in. It could just be the creator of the universe and that's all god was to Hitler. Doesn't have to be affiliated with any official religion.

    I like how no one cares that the christian god has so many human like emotions that a god should never have...

    Your god is a jealous god?  That's absurd...

    Boy are you going to be terribly disappointed if Jesus returns before your optimism or after your optimism I might add.

    Jagerfury,

    I am not sure as to where you are getting these thoughts from, but you are way off on them. You alluded to conceit earlier as well.

    I am far from conceited and have a difficult time getting along with arrogant, pridefully people.

    I do my best to love them, accept them and carry on a relationship with them, but for me it is very difficult.

    I in know way want to come across as prideful nor do i want that attitude/spirit in my life. I apologize if that is the way that I am coming across, but you must know that is not/nor will it ever be my motive.

    I hate pride as every AUTHENTIC Christian should. 

    It is one of the 2 monsters that every TRUE believer daily tries to defeat out of one's life. The other being selfishness.

    Pride is what turned Lucifer from an angel to a devil. Pride has dethroned kings and destroyed entire nations.

    Pride ruins men's lives and I for one despise it.

    So, again I in no way want to come across as prideful. I will be the first to admit that I am NOTHING. I am never, ever better than anyone else, nor will I EVER strive to be.

    I am happy and content putting another person above myself at ALL times and seeing God get the glory in all things!!!

    As I stated earlier.

    Further, we learn some interesting things about this God who created the universe. He is:

    • Supernatural in nature (as He exists outside of His creation)
    • Incredibly powerful (to have created all that is known)
    • Eternal (self-existent, as He exists outside of time and space)
    • Omnipresent (He created space and is not limited by it)
    • Timeless and changeless (He created time)
    • Immaterial (because He transcends space)
    • Personal (the impersonal can’t create personality)
    • Necessary (as everything else depends on Him)
    • Infinite and singular (as you cannot have two infinites)
    • Diverse yet has unity (as nature exhibits diversity)
    • Intelligent (supremely, to create everything)
    • Purposeful (as He deliberately created everything)
    • Moral (no moral law can exist without a lawgiver)
    • Caring (or no moral laws would have been given)

    This is just one way proves that he is a God that cares.

    So, does the historical accounts in the bible, all throughout history until now, of the numerous accounts of people's lives that can verify how God has shown His love to them.

    But, the most compelling way to know His love for you and why he cares, was to whether you choose Him or not, was his death for YOU and all of mankind.

    He did this to provide the way to live forever with Him on a new earth and a new heaven forever!

    He cares whether you choose Him or not, simply because He created people with a free will to choose whether they wanted Him in their lives or not.

    Otherwise, He could have created people with no free will, that would be forced to want him and to serve his plans and purposes for all of eternity...but that wouldn't be TRUE love.

    He wanted me to love Him for Him, not a coerced or forced love upon Himself.

    You mention you try not to be selfish, but by definition, many christians are selfish.  Most christians do what they're told to get into heaven, so essentially they are only looking out for themselves...

    I'm not saying ALL christians are this way.  I'm sure there are some who just genuinely want to be good people, but if christians were told there is no heaven, I'm sure many would no longer take part in the religion.  At the core, most people are selfish, and religions based on rewards feed on this selfishness.  Quite genius really...

    So you believe there would be no morals today if not for religion?  You think people wouldn't have thought, "Maybe we shouldn't kill each other." or "Maybe we shouldn't take other people's crap."?  I promise we would have figured it out without religion...

    Remember, God sent the angels to hell because they wanted to be God.

    Just saying...

    This is the number 1 problem atheists have - pride.

    When did gloating over the "suffering" of others become a christian value? As long as it is a "non-believer" probably. These are your beliefs, not mine, and you sir are a hypocrite. Turn the other cheek, and all that? No? Not for you? You can still gloat over all those non-believers burning in hell, you can derive pleasure from that, and still be admitted into the gates of heaven?

    So far we have seen on this site, Surf ape claiming that current cosmology is wrong, meaning he is smarter than Albert Einstein, Edwin Hubble, Sir ROger Penrose, Alexander Vilenkin, Surfape then proceeds to say he is an intellect.

    Then, KK claims Quantum mechanics is actually a real theory even though Sir Roger Penrose said it is a collection of nice ideas to which KK said "who is Roger Pensrose" meaning he knows shit, little known to him that he is Hawkins colleague and co book author.....

    And then System said that if i was brought up in a muslim family, i would of been a muslim NO MATTER what even though we are seeing plenty and plenty of muslims converting to Christianity.

    I am going to make a recomendation to Covers management that they should conduct compulsory drug testing to all members.....

    When did gloating over the "suffering" of others become a christian value? As long as it is a "non-believer" probably. These are your beliefs, not mine, and you sir are a hypocrite. Turn the other cheek, and all that? No? Not for you? You can still gloat over all those non-believers burning in hell, you can derive pleasure from that, and still be admitted into the gates of heaven?

    Didn't you know?  In christianity you can do whatever you want.  All you have to do is claim god as your daddy and say youre sorry...
