"We are in no other way superior to other animals.
If we are, name one."
Err, all...of them...I can't understand how or why for that matter you want to put yourself equal to that of an animal.
If creations through evolution is true, then why was the human the only 'animal' to have a superior brain? Why was the human the only one that can talk?
"Oh, and what if God isn't Human? Does that make us superior?"
God isn't human...I actually somewhat believe that their are aliens out there in the galaxy.
"Another question. Could God make a stone so heavy that he wouldn't be able to lift it?"
This is just a paradox past our logic as humans. You might as well just ask the question, 'What would happen if an unstoppable force came into contact with an immovable object?'
God isn't the only thing past our logic as humans.
"how can you believe in something you dont completely understand?"
How can you?
But good answer by Quan-Chi...faith.
"but why test? that just leaves room for struggle and destruction."
What kind of world would we live in if we knew all the answers?
"Something I was wondering, god supposedly gives us the choice love him or not right?
Well using his big almighty mind, shouldn't god have realized that some people wouldn't have that choice as they may not know he exists? Then they die and its like 'oh man, I wish I new about this god guy, now i have to burn in hell'"
You're not going to go to Hell for not knowing about God. That wouldn't be a very loving and merciful God as He truly is. But what about those who do know Him...like you?
P.S Thanks Quan-Chi...I've been alone in these past debates for a while now.

Cool, so mercy for the ignorant, thats fair.
As for me, I know about him, yet I'm not convinced yet. If he does exist, he's not doing a good job from my point of view. And i'll happily admit to being wrong about him. Just hasn't happened yet and may not.
If heavens real and I go to be judged, I'll apologize and regret not believing. I think it'd be nice if there was a heaven and a god and all that, but I'm just not convinced to put my faith in that yet, and maybe I never will.

So if you were God and your creation refused to acknowledge your existence and constantly push you away from society, what would you do?
And if you would like to view the afterlife with a heaven or hell and God, why don't you? I look at my family and my personal self and I realize that it is not just coincidence that I am living a very, very comfortable life.
To tell you the truth, my family and I pray the rosary everyday and because of that, I beleive that I am protected. Compared to the average family, my family is either very blessed, or we fell upon a pot of luck.
But why don't you turn the tables for a minute. See yourself as God. You created the humans and they constantly pushed you aside and refused to beleive in your existence even after proof of your existence was given to people, and they still refused.
The people die and they see that you do exist. By them saying sorry...would that be enough?
