Just look in history.What is your educational background? I am assuming you graduated high school. Didn't you read about history?
So, you believe what other people (who lived hundreds of years before you) wrote (just like Christians) yet you cannot prove any of it is true?
Does that not seem a tad bit hypocritical?

Because I cannot prove something is NOT proof of anything other then the fact that I can't prove something.
Shaky, see the other thread. GW has more papers written by him that we can verify than Jesus and all his disciples combined.
Besides, this tired and redone religious argument stems, like the anti-evolution argument - from ignorance, not soundness. Don't let him bait you with his ignorance; just check him with facts.

Still, your so-called papers and facts were written by people that you didn't know first-hand.
You don't know for sure that any of it is true do you?
All you know is what you were inculcated with all of your life.

Then, by the same token, since you cannot disprove that the devil and Hell exist, do you think that it is prudent to go around denying their reality?
I also cannot disprove that unicorns dance in the spring time. Now, by that same (silly) token, do you think that it is prudent to go around denying their reality?

If I can't believe in anything anyone says, I shouldn't believe in you.
You win.
Now go away, since I can't trust anyone.

YA, I saw that. Good job. However, I didn't even want to go there. It is just a trap. Good luck.
Just look up what other people have said about this stupid arument and you will see what JIA will say next.

Why would you say yes? Do you not see the double standard?
No, I do not see the double standard.
I choose to believe that God and His Word (i.e. the Bible) are true, just like you choose to believe in Buddhism.
But...I have nothing to lose, and everything to gain, by believing God and His Word.
It is a matter of my will.
It is a matter of your will.
Dancing unicorns don't exist (although there might be some in Heaven, I'll find out when I go).
But God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, Heaven, angels, sin, demons, and the devil do exist.

I am not talking about what you believe. I am talking about what you don't believe.
I don't believe in satan, just like you don't believe in dancing unicorns. You asked me "do you think that it is prudent to go around denying their (satan) reality?".
So, you allow yourself the luxury of not believing in dancing unicorns while at the same time denying me that same right to not believe in satan. That is hypocrisy.

No, I have not denied you the right to not believe in satan, so it's not hypocrisy.
I just said in the previous post that it is a matter of your will.
You can believe whatever you want.
That doesn't change the fact that I am duty-bound to speak the Truth to you in love concerning the reality of Jesus, Heaven, Hell, sin, and the devil.
Also, I said there might be dancing unicorns in Heaven, but I won't know until I go.
I'll let you know if God permits me to after I go.
Sit tight until such time, I won't let you down if the Father permits me to tell, show, or prove to you whether dancing unicorns exist or not.

Wait, we are not talking about dancing unicorns, or do you not get that? You go around judging people, and I am saying stop it. Don't let the metaphor distract you.

I've never judged you.
It is your own conscience that convicts you.
Remember, you inferred--or rather insinuated--that I was lying about coming up with the George Washington analogy.
That's judging.
Telling you what the Bible says to warn you is just that: a warning--not judgment (that will happen when you breathe your last).
