Somewhere in the world there is a grain of sand that is perfectly round. Is there any way that someone could prove that this isn't true. Most scientists say nothing can be perfectly round. They can look in the microscope and prove that this is a fact about every grain of sand they look at. Since they can't look at every single grain in the whole world there's no way to prove that there isn't one that is perfectly round. Atheists are the scientists here. We will look at 100000 grains of sand in the microscope and see that none are perfect. Christians are the once who will continue to say that there is indeed that one grain of sand that is, and claim that it's our burden to prove there isn't.

I'd really like to explain it to you but I don't have any crayons.

I would say that concept was part of Calvinism which was accepted throughout church doctrines. There are many comments on this idea in the Bible but none that I consider worthy of losing my soul simply to argue any given point with an atheist, one who will never accept any theory other than his own. Hubris prevents an atheist from considering that there is possibly an answer to his question. No alternate theories allowed.
For my part, I believe that a baby is born as a "tabula rasa," a clean slate, with an absence of preconceived ideas. What the baby learns is taught to it, and generally accepted until it reaches the age of reason, and then makes it's own interpretation based on it's learning and acceptance of various theories. Not too difficult a theory, is it? Taught ignorance by ignorant parents? The parents are only considered ignorant if their thoughts disagree with another. And who is to say that the "other" is correct in his/her beliefs? It is a matter of opinion, and it is proven that one generally accepts his own opinions as the only acceptable opinions, and that is based on their "learning" and acceptance of what they consider "facts." One can articulate what they consider as "scientific" facts but it has also been proven over years that a scientific fact of today is found to be wrong at a later date.
You say that believers have an aversion to straight forward questions and offer only insults as a response. Damn, if that isn't a classic example of the "pot calling the kettle black." You are forever evading answers given to you and the one to be insulting to the Nth degree. Let's face it XD, you will never be satisfied and you take extreme pleasure in arguing against religion, as if you are the absolute authority. I seriously doubt that the Lord is worried about your contentions against Him but I do think that He cares more for your soul than you do. And the Bible says that none come to Jesus unless they are called by the Father. He has called you many times but you seem to ignore the call. I would suggest that you listen while He still may be found!

And even on that "childish" level of teaching you were still below the level of comprehension. Pathetic.

Sancho: One thing I have noticed about your posts is that you seem to be unable to come up with original thoughts and can only leech from the comments of others. Your juvenile attempts at humor reflect a lack of knowledge concerning religion and only the need to say something in an area in which your comments are, to say the least, ridiculous. As I told you before, pay attention to Don Quixote's comments. His comments, regardless of being wrong, do show a little more thought being given to what he says, rather than parroting others.

Another bob and weave. Changing the subject isn't going to get you off the hook. But the question to you remains the same and the burden of proof is on you.
At least I'm not copy and pasting. I'm making my own points. BTW. The joke ones are me trolling you because you guys suck and I only feel like making fun of you ATM.

And you're the one to respond with.."You must have used them (crayons) up trying to explain to us why we're going to hell or something". So again I say..And even on that childish level of teaching (crayons) you were still below the level of comprehension. Pathetic. You should practice what you preach and think seriously about taking a remedial Comprehension class. After reading your posts it's more than obvious that you suffer a great disadvantage in all areas of learning, especially Low Functional Literacy. The National Institutes of Health’s National Institute for Child Health and Development now urges pediatricians to pay attention to the literacy development of their patients. Poor Nacelle, born too late.
Don't get mad when you bring it up first, Mr crayon eater. And I noticed that you changed the sentence in question because you realized it didn't make sense as is. Go back and reread the bible and fix all those mistakes. (We'd never hear from him again)

Jesus used metaphors in your Bible. And you accept those as perfectly legitimate. When I use a metaphor to explain why it's impossible for us to prove there is no God, you won't accept it. I'll post it again, here you go.

You show me the perfectly round grain of sand and then I will believe.

I bet you can see dust accumulate on all the keys on his keyboard except the Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V.
Whereas on my old keyboard the W,A,S, and D keys are all wore off from playing first person shooter games. That's what I do Sunday morning instead of going to church. A lot more fun than listening to some old guy droning on about how much money we need to put in the collection plate.

God's minions do seem to be very poor money managers, never having enough.... Of course with that many gullible people in the room, it makes perfect sense to fleece them.
