This is heresay. Please provide evidence for your claim.

[Citation needed]. Near death experiences are the result of a brain shutting down due to lack of oxygen. We can induce them using ketamine.



So historical, nobody wrote a word about the guy while he was alive, or for decades after his death.


Appeal to popularity logical fallacy.



It's older than your religion.

In conclusion, you have failed to provide any evidence for your claim. You don't know your religion is true, you just believe it's true, and every single time you misrepresent it as fact, you are lying.
Thats funny. You're wrong on absolutely every single point there. But I'll just pick one. No one has ever induced a near death experience using ketamine, or magnetic waves or anything else. Also the near death experience has a strict definition and does not include experiences of just floating and so forth.

Atheism is not older than my religion. Thats complete nonsense. You need to go speak to the good folks at the Atheist society in London about that.

Not to mention that the biblical creation myth incorrectly claims Earth and the sun are older than all the (other) stars.

Ah the question of God's image is an interesting one. I see no conflict there, and know conflict between evolution or religion, albeit evolution is a very incomplete, idea.

Sadly, terrazoids is unable to provide evidence for his claim.

I guess we are all damned to ...

Living as if gods do not exist.

I am ok with that.

In the Far East, a contemplative life not centered on the idea of gods began in the 6th century BCE with the rise of Jainism, Buddhism, and certain sects of Hinduism in India, and of Taoism in China.

Also see: Diagoras of Melos (5th century BCE).

Recap:

Evidence any gods exist: zero.

Evidence the specific god you were taught to believe in exist: zero.

You don't know that this god exists - you merely believe it. Every single time you misrepresent your beliefs as facts, you are acting dishonestly.

The 'Book' wasn't written by God. That was the limit of folks knowledge back then. By the way thats why Islam is immediately invalidated. In 'Islam' they claim that the Koran is the word of God. Well its pretty easy to see hows it not Ay? when you look into it. No such clam for the 'Book' You see you've got to read with patience and understanding.... remembering that these ideas are from 2000 years ago. You've got to translate folks meaning from back then... to now. Get my drift?

The concept definitely is, the word might not be. Look up Lokayatas, they were basically humanists but were around long before Christianity.

You have provided no evidence for your claims. Perhaps you have provided things you mistakenly believe are evidence.

Recap:

Evidence any gods exist: zero.

Evidence the specific god you were taught to believe in exist: zero.

You don't know that this god exists - you merely believe it. Every single time you misrepresent your beliefs as facts, you are acting dishonestly.

Describe an objective method to determine which parts are true and which parts are false.

I'm chuckling. In the far east, they've got it a ll wrong. Meditation, what a waste of time!! Thats why fortunately we've been sending missionaries over there for a while now. And guess what, its starting to work! Still got a problem with communists though. And its no surprise that communism found it easier to take root in a godless society than anywhere else. That may be one of the biggest threats in the future, that and the perverted religion... you know the one I mean.

Cool story bro. However, your claim that atheism is not older than your religion is demonstrably false.

You don't answer tough questions asked of you, do you. just prattle on about anything but a direct response. You just attack the questioner.

I am sorry, but you pedestrian diatribes are boring and decidedly unenlightening.

And your responses are predictably non-responsive.

Have a good life.
