The Folly of Atheism

Faith actually is action on one's intuition, if one can detect that non material action it provides plenty of proof.
Action? How is faith action? Faith is belief despite insufficient evidence.
How does one detect non material action? What does detecting it entail? What is non material action? How does detecting it prove it?
Intuition? How reliable is intuition? Everyone's intuition is different.

Lots of people make all sorts of subjectively based claims. I could claim my cat is the reincarnation of Cleopatra, or that I'm a prophet from Valhalla, but that wouldn't prove anything.
I love apples.
I hear Adam did, too.;)

You said: "It becomes a viable human individual when it is no longer biologically dependent upon another entity." Do you honestly not comprehend that a baby doesn't become viable just because a physical connection is severed?

Fine, if you don't want to educate yourself, I'll try and help

viable
adjective
vi·a·ble | \ ˈvī-ə-bəl \
Definition of viable


1a: capable of livinga viable skin graftviable offspring
b: of a fetus : having attained such form and development of organs as to be normally capable of surviving outside the uterusa 26-week old viable fetus
c: capable of growing or developingviable seedsviable eggs

In case you're confused, it's definition b that we're talking about.

Bottom line is these groups of people cannot accept that non believers are honestly non believing.

So in life they seek to make life hard, if not impossible for the non believer.

If a gun is pointed at your head, and the message is ' know that i exist, love me, do my commands or die forever ', how much love are you going to feel? That is the nature of the Ultimatum.
People are heavily invested in their cultures and world views. If you feel your way of life is the only proper or functional lifestyle, the experience of a society of happy, successful people living entirely at odds with your values can constitute a serious threat to social order and ego integrity.

I see! It's a fetus if it's still attached to the mother and it's still a fetus if it's attached to the mother but capable of surviving outside the uterus and it's a viable human individual when it is capable of surviving outside the uterus and is no longer attached to the mother? Did I get that right?

I respect people's differences. Only when they feel that everybody must live their way or face serious consequences do i get offended.

More JW cult garbage!:mad:

Ah...but what if it's true? You think shaking a fist at God is going to win any favours with a powerful Creator who might exist......? You think insulting the being whom you have little to no understanding about, is an intelligent position to take?

Why do those who identify as agnostic, behave like full blown atheists? Why not just come out and say what you keep implying? From what you post, if God exists then you apparently hate him anyway.

If there is a God who authored the Bible, and he gives us information about himself and his requirements for all his human creation (and agnostics claim not to know that he doesn't) then contemplate what unbelievers lose compared to what the faithful lose if he doesn't exist......won't it be interesting to find out? :D

There is some sort of energy that affected myself, it provided assurance, I like it it does not harm, you can call it it whatever you want.
