Doesn't matter what blank cards you play, they remain blank.
Denying the existence of death isn't evidence for lack of death.
Claiming cards are blank doesn't make them blacnk.

A more important person than you'll ever be (which isn't saying much but apparently you care about being important so I'll go with it).
Now try and explain how my time on this forum is at all relevant to my posts.
You haven't been here long enough to establish a reputation. This whole time I'm still trying to remember your name. That's how unimportant you are.

Typical American puppet in Australia doesn't know squat about Canada. And good for you 10 whole years. I have 30 years of experience dealing with people like you under my belt. Good luck lol.
Ahh, you first assumed I was an American but then you checked to see that I wasn't an American but forgot to update your post. You're right, I don't know much about Canada nor do I care enough to find out.

Ah I absolutely love this argument. It's one of the easiest arguments christians come up with to refute. Interestingly I've never seen the islamists and jews attempt it, maybe they're smarter.
Your preparations will equal less than mine if you picked the wrong god. Most gods, according to their holy texts, are much more forgiving to those without faith than those with the wrong faith. Considering the sheer number of possible gods, the math says you fucked up.
And of course there's that issue that there's no decent evidence of any kind to support the concept of an afterlife so why waste all my time preparing for something that will never happen.
1 Corinthians 15:12-34 disagrees with you.
12 But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. 14 And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. 15 More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead. But he did not raise him if in fact the dead are not raised. 16 For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either. 17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. 18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost. 19 If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied.
20 But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. 22 For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. 23 But each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him. 24 Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power. 25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death. 27 For he “has put everything under his feet.”[c] Now when it says that “everything” has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ. 28 When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him, so that God may be all in all.
29 Now if there is no resurrection, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized for them? 30 And as for us, why do we endanger ourselves every hour? 31 I face death every day—yes, just as surely as I boast about you in Christ Jesus our Lord. 32 If I fought wild beasts in Ephesus with no more than human hopes, what have I gained? If the dead are not raised,
“Let us eat and drink,
for tomorrow we die.”
33 Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.” 34 Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God—I say this to your shame.

It is to my advantage that fewer people attempt to force their religion on me. If everything I've ever said in life only convinces 1 person of the lies of religion, it will have been worth it. As I know for a fact there's at least 3 or 4 people who've been convinced, my success is assured even if noone else follows suit.
More importantly, while you're busy with me you can't prey upon those who are at actual risk from your empty promises. I'm taking bullets for people who don't have bullet proof armour. I'm ok with that. Ironically your jesus would approve.
Edit: by the way, if I'm wasting my time trying to win an online argument, how are you any different? lol /edit
If it's to your advantage that few people force their religion on you then why are you in this thread? These debates have always been contained inside threads such as these.
Success? What did you truly gain from convincing those 3-4 people? It's not like you suddenly received a huge payday as a result. You're still living your daily life as a Canadian.
You could ask me the same thing and the gain is a follower of Christ in Heaven.

Probably exactly the same. I prefer it that way though. Become famous and you just get people putting words you'd never say in your mouth for the rest of time.
Then what's your purpose in life? What's the point of life? Why are you here? These questions you will have to wrestle with sooner or later, knowing that death comes to all.

No that isn't a screw up. I definitely have answers. I also definitely don't have anything like ALL the answers. If I did then I'd be a god, which would make calling myself an atheist a lie.
By claiming jesus has all the answers and that you can help people to jesus you're literally claiming to have all the answers. But there are no answers there because there was almost certainly never a jesus in the first place and even if there were he hasn't said anything in 2000 odd years. A lot has changed in 2000 odd years.
I'm merely a signpost pointing to the way. Just like John the Baptist pointed to Jesus, so am I doing the same thing.
You claim there was never a Jesus? The year is 2032, which is how long ago Jesus was born. The birth of Jesus is such a big event in history that it reset the calendar year. That's your first evidence.
If you actually went and did any form of research you'll find that there is plenty of evidence for Jesus and that you are not without excuse.

If you are mad about the napkin then why are you not mad the bible it's same display of ignorance. It's used specifically to show you circular logic and how you sound when you talk about the bible.
Also wtf is a sign of jonah? You are not really good at explaining.
Show me in these threads where the circular logic is?
