Ease back on the red flag/ doomsday clock, lol..
Fixed that for you so that I could comment. Why certainly, I will ease back. As soon as you ease back on telling people to set aside their doubts, which is healthy for critical thinking. But I'm not going to LOL about it, because I feel rather strongly on this issue.

If you can set aside your doubts on that for a moment, simply consider that God could speak to every person as one... in spirit... within them... without the use of any other technological device at all. Simply on faith. (the muscle we don't have much practice using) That would be some pretty advanced communications. The recievers don't work so well just yet... they need some fine-tuning ;)
Sounds like setting aside critical thinking. NEVER a good idea, especially with the important stuff. Leaves one open to all kinds of false ideas. I strongly suggest nobody do this kind of thing, and if someone tells you to, consider it a red flag. Afterall, it was only when we ceased to set aside doubts and going on faith that most of us were able to free ourselves of one cult.
i have seen debates and shizzle about god or not god etc etc.. i was even confronted by an aggressive and trheatening muslim in the street, who was angry that i wanted proof that god existed.
he ranted on a load of old b0110cks about 'hell' and stuff.
finally he yelled at me: 'do you want god to write your name in the sky?
cofty wow everytime i say i dont know something im uneducated and when a scientist say something they dont know there humble. wow
You would only be uneducated if you don't know what is knowable at the moment. Some things are unknowable at the moment, and that's when scientists are humble enough to say so, and then continue the search for answers. Others claim we can't know things that we can and do know, but they won't reach out for that knowledge or don't know it is there. This is where the uneducated idea comes in. It's specific though. It doesn't mean overall, but for instance, when someone debates against evolution, and it becomes clear they don't grasp the concepts of evolution or are misrepresenting them, then it is evident they are uneducated in this area.

Both must take a leap of "faith"
theists: it had a source, a first cause, a designer....
atheists: it just happened. but one of the fundamental principles of atheism is that evidence must be available to point to, to draw conclusion.....Where is the evidence of nothing ?
No. This would be wrong in my case. It's more like this:
Atheist: We don't know the answers yet.
Theist: We know all the answers---it was a god.
Only one stance requires faith.

That would be a sentence that made sense, and an idea that could be discussed. As it stands, though, the sentence is utterly nonsensical, and can't provide any basis for discussion. The same applies to the rest of that post.
I didn't ask you for an English lesson or to restructure my sentences. If you feel you can't discuss my posts, or there is no basis for discussion, then don't respond, instead of arrogantly insisting that I express myself as you would have me express myself. You have offered nothing to advance the points of my post, but only a writing critique. I said exactly what I meant to say, and if that bothers you, ignore it. I am sick and tired of the personal nature of your responses to me. Word games are not valid points in a debate. You scored absolutely nothing.

We will continued to be enlightened. I see good things for our future. Unfortunately, this god is not growing with the enlightenment. He still has unenlightened standards that reflect the standards of the people that created him. That's the point. For this god to be real, surely he would be progressive and find ways to make a more enlightened people aware of his existence. That goes for all the gods, who amazingly resemble the cultures that worship them.
