Which brings us back to our little ~ axiom..................

"One becomes an atheist when they do not want God in
their life. Not because there is no evidence for God.....
because evidence for Him is there in the very *creation*
that He made, and is evident for anyone who wants to
know."

Thank you.

The bible says some Jew walked across liquid water. Maybe it was frozen

How do you know that Jesus was not some sort of demonic being out to
deceive people from the Truth? Or, maybe some advanced alien being who

I would love to meet God's acquaintance, if He really does exist! But,
per you, I have to wait until I am dead for that to happen.

So, you don't need Andrew? What's stopping you, then?

The problem with you, Dawn, is that you don't want there to be a God
because you believe He quenches your will to do whatever you want.

He does; He has to because you are clueless as to what is good for you.

Such it is to be a parent.

That is not true, many believe there is a God but follow other gods, or deny
all gods access to their lives.

Atheists chose to claim there is no god, yet the subject and existence of God
preoccupies their minds.

Your "axiom" is merely an unsupported assertion.

An axiom must be falsifiable, and survive the test of
time.

If there's a miracle, there's a god. Doesn't matter
which one.

No he didn't.

So you're saying you have nothing that's more convincing
than the bible.

IOW, nothing.

You mean *your* little ~axiom, all decorated in semiotic
applesauce.

BTW, if you repeat something 6 times, do you start
believing it yourself?

Oh but they are as witnessed by nonbelievers in history such as Josephus, a
“jewish” historian as well as Tactus. A Roman historian, who also wrote
about Pontius Pilate and Jesus.

Because Jesus was the fulfillment of all
the prophecies that foretold His coming.

He also arose from the tomb after being
crucified, exactly as He said He.would be.

We have witnesses, as well as scientific
evidence of this..

However you have freedom to reject all
of this evidence, and then eventually die
in your sins.

"you will die in your sins. For if you
do not believe that I am he, you will
die in your sins.” ~ John 8:24

"The one who rejects me and does
not receive my words has a judge;
the word that I have spoken will
judge him on the last day."
~ John 12:48
