I don't contradict everything you say. I point out your errors or the

unsupported claims you make. When you post facts, I don't have any

problems.

When it comes to the Bible there is nothing to refute, except the

purposes that some people try to turn it to. But I don't blame the Bible

for the misuse that some people make of it.

I don't think that is possible. By the time he return I would have hijacked earth to the next

galaxy!

I died some two thousand years ago.

God existed then. But one day when we were playing

poker we got drunk and some of us thought god

cheated and drove the knife through god's heart!

After god's death we regretted our actions, because

then we had one lesser partner at poker!

 

If Jesus returns do you think that we could

collect from him the money that

his father stole from us?

You obviously don't "grasp that" either, for it's a lie. We all know

there are existing gods aplenty, for anything or anyone can be a god to

somebody. Our Museums have large collections of objects which people

regarded as gods, and our libraries are bulging with abstract principles and

qualities which represent god(s).

Therefore, atheism is defined by a lack of belief (of credence) in

god(s), whether they exist or not.

Matthew 16:28

Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not

taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

You've yet to explain how anyone can discuss anything with a fictional

That's nice, except it's only a story; it didn't really happen.

Who told you you could select which bits of the bible you want to

follow?
