Dog in his/her/its infinite mercy knows how, when, where, what, and why to touch you or something or someone who is very precious to you. This is not done out of anger because it is the kindness of dog that leads men to repentance. God does not want you to lose your soul in hell; everyone is going to live forever somewhere, why not make it heaven?

Armageddun sez: Faith is the SUBSTANCE of things hoped for, the EVIDENCE of things hoped for.
Ahh, but you dont see that you have it backwards. Substance is what is hoped for. Faith isnt that, faith is the determined belief that something will happen. It isnt a guarantee, ergo it isnt substance.
Something you want but dont have and hope to get, is having hope. Believing that you will get that thing you HOPE for is called faith. There is no substance in that. It is only the belief that you will get what you hope for. The thing you hope for is substantive. You really should spend more time really thinking things like this through before you go ahead and make assertions that are flawed. Nor is the determination in the belief that you will get what you hope for in any way evidence. Desire and intent arent evidence of anything. Fingerprints on a weapon used in a shooting are evidence, but pretending that you know that you will get something, because you want it and hope for it are not evidence of any kind. Go look up the damned words evidence and substance and faith and hope. All of you engage in such wordgames, none of which are clever BTW.
Armageddun sez: faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of god.
More BS. More circular thinking. Repeating such words does not make a statement like that true in any way. It is an empty claim. There is no word of god, there is only the words of men pretending to speak of and for, and on behalf of an imaginary friend.
Armageddun says citing a buybull verse," While we were yet sinners, krystos died for us.
There isnt anybody named krystos save for claims of the new testacle. Paul was a nutcase, an epileptic who had seizures and hallucinated that he had conversations with some imaginary savior.
The others didnt begin writing about this myth until 70 CE, and did so based on oral traditions about events told and retold in Rome, not in Judea or Galilee, that likely didnt happen at all. Why? There is no historical record of this savior. Why?
Prove this figment of your imagination exists. Can't? Why? Hasn't seen fit to visit humans in over 2000 years? Why?
Armageddun sez: All or most have gone through the doubts you express.
Primarily, I don't have any doubts. Everything I have posted is with certainty.
So back to the other part of your claim. No, thats not true either. Not everyone is born into a situation in which they are indoctrinated into delusional nonsense. So your claims of all or most just doesnt fly. There are about 4 billion people at present on this planet who are counted by their religious leaders as being believers. Many pretend to be believers because of the societal and familial pressures exerted on them to be believers. Not fear that they will be punished after they die, fear that they will be mistreated by the believers who claim to be loving people.
Fewer people are going to church or other places of delusional worship these days. The number of people calling this nonsense out for the fairy tale stuff it is and leaving religion in the dust is growing. Why?
Armageddun: And all or almost all have been taken to a point of brokenness.
BS. BS. BS. BS.
Armageddun claims: god is not willing that anyone should perish but that all would come to repentance.
More BS, since there is no god, and no need to repent. It is all a fabrication using fear. What a great scam. Why willingly be a part of a scam? Fear? Grow up.
Armageddun: god in his infinite mercy knows how, when, where, what, and why to touch you or something or someone who is very precious to you. This is not done out of anger because it is the kindness of god that leads men to repentance.
BS. There is no dog or imaginary friend.
And Only men? You are the typical christian misogynist.
There is no god of your understanding. There is your belief that this imaginary friend and sky daddy exists, but no proof. Why?
Funny how no one from nearly 2 millennia ago forward has seen or heard from this nonexistent delusion. Why? It used to be (as claimed by some really ignorant and superstitious people) that this imaginary friend made appearances fairly regularly riding in on clouds in the sky for example, speaking from burning bushes and the like. What a load of horse puckey.
Armageddun: god does not want you to lose your soul in hell; everyone is going to live forever somewhere, why not make it heaven?
BS. If there actually was a sky daddy you wouldn't know what it would want. Ive heard this delusional song and dance before. You arent any better at it or any more convincing than anybody else.
Again, as I have informed others. You folks are making extraordinary claims for which not a single one of you has any evidence, let alone extraordinary evidence. Why?
By indulging in this belief system, or ideology, and its attendant dogmas you willingly shut off your brains and make yourself willing to sacrifice truth. Why? Fear? Societal pressures?
Armageddun: Why don't you lay down your anger, hurt, and emptiness and be released from your blindness.
Why dont you baa a couple more times before you are shorn for the wool? You look funny running around on all 4s pretending to be an animal. Why dont you shed yourself of your delusions?
