HomelessInIraq: i think u should be a Christian
Atheist142: are you one?
HomelessInIraq: there is a God
HomelessInIraq: yes i am
Atheist142: ah... which denomination?
HomelessInIraq: i am trying to get atheist to become
Christian
HomelessInIraq: i am a Catholic
Atheist142: ah, very cool :-)
HomelessInIraq: Have u ever read the Bible
Atheist142: yessir
Atheist142: (my pardon if you are not a sir)
HomelessInIraq: do u think it is true
Atheist142: no
HomelessInIraq: i am a sir
Atheist142: I used to...
HomelessInIraq: y dont u anymore
Atheist142: becaue I realized there was no evidence behind my faith
HomelessInIraq: there is great evidence
HomelessInIraq: go to Jerusalem
HomelessInIraq: and Bethlehem
Atheist142: what evidence?
HomelessInIraq: Jesus's tomb
HomelessInIraq: that Bible was written by the people who
witnessed Jesus
Atheist142: that proves nothing... and i doubt it would still be here
after nearly 2000 years
HomelessInIraq: mummys r still here after more than 2000
years
HomelessInIraq: y can a solid rock tomb
HomelessInIraq: y cant a solid rock tomb
Atheist142: yes, but I'd think that the tomb would be used for
something else after all these years. I may be wrong.
Atheist142: and even if a real person named Jesus did exist, I doubt
he was the "Son of God"
HomelessInIraq: there is no evidence saying Jesus wasnt here
HomelessInIraq: then how did he rise to heaven after he died
Atheist142: *shrug* I don't know if he was here or not, and I don't
really care... because even if there was, he would not be the Son of
God. He didn't "rise to heaven" or anything like that that I know
of.
HomelessInIraq: He went up to be with God his Father
HomelessInIraq: see
Atheist142: *shrug* I see no proof of that.
HomelessInIraq: u r not even sure of your own religion
Atheist142: I have no religion.
Atheist142: unless you count a lack of belief as a religion
Atheist142: :-)
HomelessInIraq: on my common interest under religion
atheism was listed
Atheist142: yeah, it is technically a religious opinion
Atheist142: or at least religion-related I suppose
HomelessInIraq: any ism is not good
HomelessInIraq: where do u think we go after we die
Atheist142: 6 feet under?
HomelessInIraq: no
HomelessInIraq: see we just cant stop being a live
Atheist142: why not?
HomelessInIraq: our soul has to go somewhere
Atheist142: what is a soul?
HomelessInIraq: a spiritual body
Atheist142: what is that?
HomelessInIraq: its another body that leaves us when we die
and then goes to either heaven or hell
HomelessInIraq: most people want their's to go to heaven
Atheist142: what do you mean "another body"?
Atheist142: I only have one body
HomelessInIraq: thats what u think
HomelessInIraq: we have a different body that only comes
alive when we die
Atheist142: well, you have not shown me my "soul", or told me what
it is...
Atheist142: no, when someone is dead, they bury their body and it
stays
HomelessInIraq: i cant show it to u
HomelessInIraq: their physical body is buried
HomelessInIraq: but there spiritual body, or soul, rises out of
the dead body and goes to either Heaven or hel
Atheist142: but there is nothing besides the physical body
Atheist142: unless you have evidence to show otherwise
HomelessInIraq: thats what u think
Atheist142: well you have not shown me otherwise
Atheist142: and yes, that is what I think
HomelessInIraq: can u do me a favor
Atheist142: depends on the favor :-)
HomelessInIraq: talk to a Christian Pastor
HomelessInIraq: see what he has to say
Atheist142: I have... I still go to church occasionally.
Atheist142: nice place, pretty music, nice people
HomelessInIraq: y do u go to church if u dont believe
Atheist142: because I like to sing (I'm in the choir)
Atheist142: and the people are nice
Atheist142: and the message is usually positive
HomelessInIraq: its not a social place
HomelessInIraq: well become a Christian
