\"Least Helpful Analogy Ever\"?
God is a retrovirus that hijacks your cells to destroy your immune system? Why, I never knew.

Actually it's nothing like thgat at all.
It's more like a book that was wriiten before I was born said I had HIV and the rumor around town was that I have HIV but the truth is I'm a virgin with no history of drug use and the symptoms might be a a case of the flu.

Zipperback, plus, no one has ever had HIV and everyone has different ideas as to what HIV might be.

And you didn't even have HIV, someone a few hundred years later went back and edited your medical records.

Hey, you're the one comparing your religion to a disease, not me.

You start from an incorrect premise, then make an inappropriate analogy, and then ask a ridiculous question. What's wrong with you? Why can't you think? Are you OVERDOSED on Jesus?

\"metaphorically speaking\"
That pretty much answers your question right there.
\"proof and there are millions of people that have seen his hand move\"
I have no doubt that lots of people have seen god. But I'm still not convinced that he exists. I've seen dragons, but that doesn't mean they exist (I was dreaming at the time). People see all sorts of stuff that doesn't exist.
\"Is it not similar to reading The Bible and saying that GOD does not exist?\"
No. That would be more like buying a book at Borders and reading in it that I had HIV.

Your analogy is flawed. Nobody has seen any evidence of God. People have seen God, but they were not mentally whole or were dreaming.

It's more like reading Harry Potter and saying that Voldemort doesn't exist.

Things God has been compared to:
HIV
A Prison Warden
A parent punished children
Not a very high regard for god among christians.

Great. So being a Christian is like having AIDS. I soooooo want to convert right this second.

It was reading the bible that caused me to say god doesn't exist.

<<< If you say that there is no GOD, and you have proof >>>
If my aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle. But she doesn't, and I have seen no proof that God exists. The Bible is not proof, because it is not a reliable source. You'd have to convince me that it's reliable first before it could be considered as evidence ... and no, saying \"the Bible is the Word of God because it says so\" is not going to convince me (or anyone with more than three brain cells) that it's reliable.

Doesn't that make it a capital felony to interact with others without any precautions or declaring your Christianity; especially with the intent of infecting them with your Christianity!

But science is fact, the Bible is not.....oh god just give me a blunt instrument to beat this person with, put them out of their misery. I bet their parents never had sex again after seeing what they created.

I didn't stop at reading the Bible, I tried to understand it. I tried to see the reasoning behind why it was written that way. I still don't believe in God.
It's largely composed of individual writings from assorted ignorant desert dwellers trying to fathom their universe. It was compiled subsequently by the early church with a political agenda to advance.
The Bible isn't evidence God exists any more than is the night sky.

OVERDOSESURGE,
\"If you say there is a GOD, and have no proof and there are millions of rational people that have not seen his ass move (metaphorically speaking) than why are you a theist? It's as if you went to get checked for a mental disorder and were diagnosed with schizophrenzia and they provided you with evidence that you were schizophrenic. You heard voices and saw someone who wasn't real. Would you still say you are sane? Is it not similar to reading The Bible and saying God exists?\"
