You have just entered room "Life - Beliefs Christian 1"

MadRapper: the bible wasn't written by god, people wrote the bible and people misinterpret everything.

ITHEDAVID: Hey Mad, if you don't believe in God, why are you in a Christian chat room?

AmForgiven2: why dont we all take a minute and pray for mad rappers heart to be softend by the lord

MadRapper: using my first amendment rights

SRo1006322: mad it was god breathe

MadRapper: i know i'm right, god freak
MadRapper: i'm just not gulible, you'll believe anything anyone feeds you

FaithInEvidence: MadRapper: are you an atheist?

MadRapper: i'm a human being
MadRapper: ...i think anyway

FaithInEvidence: Are you an atheist?

FaithInEvidence: MadRapper?

MadRapper: "ah duh...i'm a gulible, christian. i ain't gotta mind of my own. i believe everything in the bible...durh, i pray in the name of jesus...duh....um..."

FaithInEvidence: madRapper - are you an atheist?

MadRapper: if anything, yeah i guess i'ma atheist

FaithInEvidence: Are willing to answer some questions about atheism for me?

MadRapper: i'm busy

FaithInEvidence: ok

(At this point I didn't expect to talk to MadRapper anymore. But then I received an "Instant Message" out sideof the chat room and the conversation continued...)

MadRapper: allright, i'm board. ask away

FaithInEvidence: Okay, do you "know" there is no God or, is it your "opinion" there is no God?

MadRapper: i "know" there is no god
MadRapper: it's impossible

FaithInEvidence: You would have to have infinite knowledge (know all things) in order to KNOW for a FACT that God does NOT exist. Do you claim to know all things?

MadRapper: hehe, no not really.

FaithInEvidence: Having said that, do you now claim that you 'KNOW' there is no God, or that it's your "opinion" there is no God?

MadRapper: it's impossible that god is real...but i guess it's my opinion

FaithInEvidence: If it's just your opinion that God doesn't exist and you don't know for a fact, isn't it POSSIBLE that He MIGHT exist?

MadRapper: if u believe in fairy tails, yea sure
MadRapper: *tales

FaithInEvidence: Good, if it can be REASONABLY shown that this possible God had a Son, Jesus, who was sacrificed and rose from the dead to save humanity from its sin - will you believe in Him?

MadRapper: can't see how it could be shown, but no

FaithInEvidence: But what if it could? Would you believe in Him?

MadRapper: no

FaithInEvidence: It is interesting that an open-minded individual such as yourself will refuse reasonable evidence for God/Jesus. This shows a hardened heart and...
FaithInEvidence: sinful rebellion (with its destructive consequences) that God wishes to save you from. Thanks for the time you took in answering my questions...
FaithInEvidence: Take care and God bless.

MadRapper: what was the point of that?

FaithInEvidence: Of what?

MadRapper: your quesitons?

FaithInEvidence: I wanted to share the evidences for my belief. But if you refuse to believe - even if reasonably whown to be true - then it's not worth our time. Right?
FaithInEvidence: shown

MadRapper: how the hell can it be shown that jesus was actually the son of god (which he wasn't)

FaithInEvidence: Well, it's not worth trying unless you agree to believe in Him if it can be reasonably proven.

MadRapper: fine, if it was resonabliy shown that jesus was the son of god, sure i'd beleive...

FaithInEvidence: If you are sincere about this, I would like to direct you to a web site that lists the evidences for Jesus' divinity. It is - http://oocities.com/faithinevidence

MadRapper: whoopie, jesus

FaithInEvidence: What does that mean?

MadRapper: nothing

FaithInEvidence: ok
FaithInEvidence: I have one last question. Would you like to ask this possible God to reveal Himself to you IF He does indeed exist?

MadRapper: yes, actually
MadRapper: but god's a little punk
MadRapper: if he was real, of course

FaithInEvidence: Okay, pray (or just agree with) the following statement - "God, I don't know whether you even exist. I'm a skeptic. I doubt. I think...
FaithInEvidence: you may be only a myth. But I'm not certain (at least not when I'm completely honest with myself). So if you do exist, and if you really did promise to reward...
FaithInEvidence: all seekers, you must be hearing me now. So I hereby declare myself a seeker, a seeker of the truth, whatever it is and wherever it is. I want to know...
FaithInEvidence: the truth and live the truth. If you are the truth, please help me." - End...
FaithInEvidence: The web site again is - http://oocities.com/faithinevidence

MadRapper: why are u doing this?

FaithInEvidence: Because I love you and Jesus.

MadRapper: and why do u love me?

FaithInEvidence: Because you are a child of God like I am and in need of it like I am. We are both sinners and need God's forgiveness. I love you because He loves me.

MadRapper: that makes no sence but whatever

FaithInEvidence: That's fine. I understand. pPlease give the sire a look. You are smart enough to evaluate it for its merits.
FaithInEvidence: site

MadRapper: sure. when i'm board. or wanna make fun of jesus, i'll take a lookt
MadRapper: *look

FaithInEvidence: The evidence for Jesus' divinity is there for you to evaluate. It's your decision whether to go there or not. God will not force you. It's your decision.
