Nobody talks so constantly about God as those who insist that there is no God.
Heywood Broun (1888 - 1939)

If some old dead guy said something you agree with, you can quote it to lend your argument a false veneer of credibility. Even if it's untrue or cannot possibly be proved.

We will all find out one day when we die? But in my heart I will be in Heaven with God.

No, not if there is no god we won't.

No, not if there is no god we won't.

Adam you could waterboard me for two days and if I died? I would still believe in God and that I would still be going to Heaven to be with my Lord and savior.

I don't follow. I accept that there is a possibility (even if it is a remote one) that I may find out there is a god when I die. If there is not, however, I will not know... as I will be dead.

Although you may believe there is a god (and I don't fault you for that, even if I don't agree or understand your faith), your situation is no different. If there is no god, you won't find that out when you die, because you'll be dead and you won't know anything anymore.

Nobody talks so constantly about God as those who insist that there is no God.
Heywood Broun (1888 - 1939)

...And nobody talks so constantly against God as those who have never experienced him. A lifetime of focus on a non entity seems proof enough that one exists.

Can you explain what "experiencing him" feels like? Also, how'd you know it wasn't "her" you were experiencing?

Without true faith you will Never have the experience of God in your heart Ben.

Seems a bit tautological.

[Ocklawaha]

Empirical.

Being a Christian city has worked out pretty good for Rome, perhaps we could make the proverbial lemonade out of what some perceive as lemons. God knows we already have enough lions. 

[Adam W]

Empirical.

Actually, I was thinking of tautological in a rhetorical sense, but I wasn't really right. I couldn't think of the term to describe what was wrong with this statement:

"A lifetime of focus on a non entity seems proof enough that one exists."

Is it maybe circular reasoning?

That's a hybrid species, sort of a combination of non sequitur and affirming the consequent.
