Why do you give an obvious idiot the time of day?

Because it's fun pointing out his fallacious thinking and it gives me practice writing.

I just read a webpage that says something similar. It's called the largest pile of cow poop ever whoops... sorry I meant "Anointed-One.net"
Basically the author states that no scientific theories can be used to explain the Universe and life because we can't find one we agree on, and that we are breaking our own scientific laws by believing in these things.
I laughed, I cried... I threw up in my mouth..

Just think. Some of those "knows" are in reference to "FUCKING".

I remember when I gave my heart (for the second time) to Jesus: the pastor stated that you had to "know that you know that you know" that you were saved. I was twelve, almost thirteen, and coming into a new awareness of myself. I didn't feel I was saved because I didn't "KNOW". I had also been worrying about Hell of the past few weeks, so I did KNOW I should go to the front and REALLY get saved.

I did that. I went through the motions, and it was as real as an experience like that can be. I "changed" and felt I'd become a "new creature in Christ". The only thing was, the high I felt faded into a really low, low. Suddenly, I didn't "know" anymore! If it hadn't worked when I was six, why would it be sure to work at 12? Were my motives pure? Was it about belief or was I JUST trying to escape Hell?

These questions swirled in my head for YEARS. I rededicated myself several times. I prayed in my room to God, hoping it was enough to do it in private rather than parading my salvation in front of the entire congregation a third time.

No one EVER "knows". Even they don't. They have to convince themselves despite a lot of internal anguish. Eventually, they just have to "take it on faith" that they are saved. The reality is, "God" doesn't promise salvation; there are verses that say even people that thought they knew will be turned away. So, they're just HOPING. They don't know; if they say they do, they ARE lying.

Ray, once again, demonstrates that he doesn't 'know' anything. Certainly not about science or reality.
We don't know anything. All we have are probabilities. The probability that the cup on my desk contains water, rather than H2SO4, is high enough that the possibility that it was swapped when I was not paying attention is so abysmally low that it can be safely discounted. Likewise, getting on a plane is 'probably' safe. But it is not 'absolutely' safe, as evidenced by the number of plane crashes every year.

I'd say that the probability that Ray is not delusional is low enough that it can safely be discounted until new evidence surfaces.

I KNOW that god did not save Ray from the grave. I can say with absolute certainty that he is going to die eventually.

Why did you lie to me, Ray.. WHY!?
