That you got no consolation or answers in whatever version of Christendom you were affiliated with is not surprising to me. As the saying goes, different strokes for different folks anyway.

You said: I do not care what the Bible says because I am not a Christian.
Whether I care what the Bible says is completely irrelevant.

@Sgt. Pepper As an addendum, I did not pray for YEARS to know God. I would pray maybe for other things, but finally gave up. Because I finally figured it was all a bunch of hoopla like Christmas decorations. Or yoga positions...Shiva, etc., feeding rats at a temple, whatever. Finally I did pray even though I did not know if God exisited. It was actually someone who motivated me and I did not join his religious persuasion. Yet I believe God used him to get me to "see." Because God answered me...

You're welcome. And . . . we agree to disagree.
See you around.

I wouldn't mind talking to you about a Bible subject, but aren't you an atheist anyway?
If you know a positive way that we can engage in a conversation, without picking apart each other's words, I wouldn't mind giving it a try.
But if it ends up with just a bunch of arguing over words, don't be surprised if I just stop talking, I don't want to keep engaging in a conversation that is going no place.

Who's complaining? Either there is a reason like you had to deny Christ and God because God did not answer your prayers -- and/or the Trinity, and/or whether hell is hot, or there is not a God. I certainly had reasons to not believe in God for many years. But He allowed me to find Him. Almost like the Ann Murray song -- "In the Garden." Obviously I can't speak for everyone, but that's how it is with me.

Thank you for being cordial. See you around.

It's kinda hard to talk to someone about a subject he doesn't care about. It's like a debate where someone says about the other, I don't care what you think...as if that's the end of reasoning on the matter. Yikes.I wouldn't mind talking to you about a Bible subject, but aren't you an atheist anyway?

All I can say Walt is go to a non debate sub-forum if you don't want to debate. Complaining about debate in a debate sub-forum is like complaining that ice cream is cold.
I really have no idea what word I've argued about or when I've argued about it. If you can point out an example of me doing this then hopefully I can learn and avoid doing it in the future.

I just want to have friendly debates with a goal in mind......... Gaining a little more information about a subject.

That's fine but if you're going to accuse people of something you could at least provide an example so we know what we're doing wrong. I still have no idea what word or words I've argued about.

Please I am done with this conversation, could we please talk about something else?

I said in post # 4079: Please show me where I said that I don't believe the Holy Bible is true.
What would be the point, you'll just get upset if I don't agree with you or you'll accuse me of doing something wrong and not show me what it was.

I was not trying to accomplish anything except to point out that you did not show me what I asked you to show me.
You showed me something else I had said.
You said in post # 4072: Why do you pick apart everybody's words? Especially when you don't even believe the Holy Bible is true?
I said in post # 4079: Please show me where I said that I don't believe the Holy Bible is true.
Then in post # 4086 you said that I said: I do not care what the Bible says because I am not a Christian.
So you did not show me where I said that I don't believe the Holy Bible is true.
