    There is an argument that I think is quite plausable that was missed… There is a creator, it's just not the same one as the Christian faith, maybe this creator is flawed and thus you get suffering.

    love coming back to this debate time to time just to see the frustration in cliffes face over the fact that someone is honestly admiting not to know the answers to all meaning in the universe.

    I love how pissed off Christian’s get when they know they’re wrong and can’t lie their way out of it or slap a verse on it…😂😂 They’re literally yelling at these guys as they sit there calmly. 🥴 LMFAO!

    Mocker 1: Your a liar Jesus
    Mocker 2: Yeeeah! Fraud! (5 seconds later) wait…I take that back. This guy isn't a fraud and he shouldn't be crucified!

    Cliffe… seriously bro? 🤣 Play this scene out with your son and find a random person to be Jesus, and see how dumb this concept is. It's so embarrassing when these guys won't just admit the text says two different things and this is nothing like if two people witnessed a car crash and person 1 saw a car swipe a mailbox then hit another car, while person 2 standing elsewhere was blocked and didn't see the mailbox get swiped. The contradictions in the Bible are radically different. Did God ask David to take the Census, or was it Satan? How in the eff would you confuse God with Satan LOL. What's the apologetic for that, Satan disguised himself to look exactly like God? 😂

    Cliffe said he believes non-existence cannot produce existence. That's your belief, you didn't demonstrate any truth, but also your God created existence from non-existence, since the universe did not exist at one point.

    Also I doubt you know anything about science but if you seal food in a jar, mold will grow. Food is not alive, mold is! You lose, sir.

    I am not a atheist but I don’t agree how god judges ppl at all and when I was little my vision of a loving god is of no violence but it seems it’s not the case
