Life-long Atheist Finds God

I repent. I was wrong. God does exist, and He is here.

Not convincing! But surely this is how God would make his presence known. And, it explains everything--all creation, the problem of good and evil, why bad things happen to good people--I could go on and on.

Hmmm . . . First, if this was so obvious, ah . . . more people would surely find this presence as you see it. But the reality is they do not. The only ones that do agree with you. Second, you of course could go on and one, but people from many different worldviews believe that their own worldview explains everything. Third, your blog and your claim of turning away from 'a life-long' belief in atheism is, ah . . . far from convincing :rolleyes: .

What are the rest of you reading? At the link posted, all I see is a MySpace site that says:
Quote:
About me:
Hey all! Welcome to the MySpace page for "God, Inc," a comedy about life in the corporate offices of God. What if all the problems on earth were not caused by a spiteful deity, or karma, or fate, but just office politics and the Peter Principle?

Subscribe to future episodes of God, Inc. on youtube.

About Francis Stokes

I'm a writer and filmmaker living in LA. I've written and directed two feature films. My first film, Harold Buttleman, Daredevil Stuntman, with John Hawkes, is a comedy about a small town tuxedo salesman who thinks he's the next Evel Knievel. My next film, a Hitchcock style thriller, is currently in post production. I also write Sludgie, an offbeat environmental blog.

BUY GOD, INC. MERCHANDISE HERE!
I mean, heaven as Office Space is a funny concept, but it is humor.

NO! Say it isn't so. You mean these episodes aren't what really happens in heaven/God, Inc.? Isn't God revealing Himself? But God, Inc. explains everything--the complete, irrational cock-ups, and all the other weird things that happen.

Ah, well. Back to atheism. For a while there I had hopes there really was a God.

S.

Sure looks like that old time religion to me - fiction mixed with merchandising.

funny how it says on the Pat Robertson link, how did Pat Robertson lift 2000 lbs? but only show him lifting 1000 lbs. And have a picture of 2000 lbs on the press.

Firstly, that wasn't proper form he used.
Secondly, he used his arms to bench press the weight as much as he was pushing with his legs. Watch his hands on his knees.
Thirdly, what does moving weight have to do with God?

If he wants to really show some God power, lets see him load up a bar with 2000 pounds, and free lift it from ground to over his head, full extension.

Better yet, let him get under the bar with 2000 pounds, with his hands on it, and then relase it......

We can end two problems at the same time.
