Debate: Does God exist?
Side: Theism

So you have rested your case against God. It doesn't freak me out. I saw a little girl get killed by a car on the street, I'm sure she was not cursing God or asking for proof of Hell.......that was around ten years ago. My brother was killed on his motorcycle when I was 28, by an apparent drunk driver, hit and run, police could not prove it was that guy but we know it was him. One of my other brother's best friends brother was killed on the street by a car right in front of the house where I was hanging with buddies......we ran out to the street at the sound, we thought it was my other brother laying there, same hair......but it was my other brother's best friend's brother. My best friend's step brother was killed on that same stretch of road around that time......a real joker that guy was though he was seriously reading his Bible and trying to figure things out. A cousin of mine, 26 years old and seemingly healthy as a horse, dropped dead on the sidewalk as he was jogging. I could go on and on with true stories like this, and many more from the experiences of other people I know...many who were flatly told today could be their last chance to be saved and then they went out rejecting the Savior and were killed that very night in an accident. Some of the people here who got mad at me and then disappeared after I told they why and how to be saved......and I wonder where they went.A friend of mine was driving when a thunderstorm was starting to kick up...guy riding his bike on the sidewalk as my friend was driving pass........suddenly BOOM!!! Lightning bold crashed right next to the guy on that bicycle. My friend rolled down his window and yelled as the shocked face on the bike, "SOMEBODY"S TRYING TO GET YOUR ATTENTION!!" The guy who yelled that is a fairly well known gospel singer, worked in home services on some extremely famous people's homes in the tri-country area, I can't name names but you would be impressed.....not sure if my singer buddy is still alive, old friend of my family.I faced death more than once myself....gun pointed at my head, accidents, assaults, robberies....once I got robbed and beat up by a gang, as they strolled away knowing the police would come before long I yelled some good old fashioned Hell fire and brimstone preaching at them, told them they better get saved the same as I tell you. Your time is counting down to zero, and zero may come at any moment. Then, if you have not yet believed, you will get the proof you imply God is unable to deliver to you. Oh yeah, another true story I have to throw in here....the son of a friend of mine gets a knock in his door one day. Opens the door and there stands the man who a few days prior said they were working on organizing neighborhood watch......standing there with a shotgun pointed at my friend's son, was just a robber who cased victims by using the neighborhood watch story. The son lived but got maimed when he put up a fight.And again, comparing Hell to dragon land is a straw man argument. Who cares if they wake up in dragon land? So they can be dragon fighters. Big deal. If Dragon land is real, who cares?. The only place you really don't want to be is in eternal fire frying like eternal sausage. The threat of Dragon land is not a valid comparison to Hell. Hell is the only place you really want to believe is imaginary and not real. Any other place would not be so bad to be concerned about. It's the same thing comparing God to the Flying Spaghetti Monster or Zeus.......who cares if those straw men are real? It's only God you really care about dispelling. Whenever people argue against God, they create a straw-man version which is not God but rather has faults and weaknesses which God has none of. That's what you are doing with places that are less than Hell and gods which are less than God.It is not my job to prove God or Hell are real. It is my job to try to tell people how they can be saved. There is nothing I can do if you will not believe. There is plenty of evidence, plenty of reason to believe; dying should tell you that you need to be saved from dying, and common sense should tell you only God can save you.......and then reason should tell you that your sin has to be paid for and God Himself paid with His own blood because He loves you and wants you to be forgiven.....and then the goodness of God should lead you to repent of your sin because He is being patient with you and giving you time after you cursed Him.You've stated your case against God and have rested your case I guess. Now it's only a matter of time before God answers you, isn't it? You think He won't answer? I hope you have time to think again. You can't expect God to be patient with you forever, He's already given you much more time than you deserve the way you taunt Him. I don't know why God allowed me to live the way I acted when I was younger, don't know why he kept me from getting killed or crippled so many times.....except that He had a plan for me of better things than I can make for myself. He has a plan for you also, but you are denying God so He can't give you His blessings and yet He is giving you time.....not wanting you to be in Hell. We both would be burning in Hell now if we got what we really deserve. It in only by the mercy of God that we are not consumed. The only thing new in this world is God's mercy..every moment of time we have is a gift we do not deserve. We are on borrowed time, and there is a reckoning coming. God Himself paid the price of our time as sinners, paid with His own blood on the cross so He is righteous to spare us judgment for a time, and righteous to condemn us in Hell forever if we will not seek His pardon believing He is risen from the dead.So these things I'm saying should be for you a rebuke from God, a hint of a sign of Judgement coming, but God will not force you to hear or to see. If you want a reality void of God's correction and void of God's goodness, then you won't be corrected and you will find nothing to indicate any sign from God that He is good...He is giving you what you want, but the only place you can really have what you want now is in the fire of Hell and God really does not want to give you what you want or you would be there now........and the only reason anybody rejects God is because of their own lusts for money, sex, or power, they don't want God telling them what to do or what not to do; so there is no way they can know the blessings of God........and God says "peace, peace, to them that are afar, and to them that are near", but you wont have it, will you? You love the pleasures of feeling strong and great and independent more than you love life, don't you? You just want to do your own thing and defy God all the way into eternity, don't you? If you rest your case this way forever, there will be no rest for you in Hell, sorry friend.
