============================================
The idea of a jealous God who solves all his problems using violent methods, and the only way to win his LOVE is to accept that he had his only begotten son nailed to a pole for your sake is just plain SICK
============================================

Our father doesn't solve his problems through violent methods. The only way to show an emotion is through an action. Otherwise it's only by word of mouth, and that leaves room for lying thus sacrifice is used to show your love for God. Thus accepting Jesus as lord and saviour is accepting the "sacrifice" he gave for us all......... his life, going through the pain of the cross, his entire life. That's what it's about, it's about the son of God willingly SACRIFICING himself for us.

It's a religion discussion forum. If it bothers you to see people discussing religions fables then why are you bothering to read this forum?

Religious proselytizers would love for everyone who makes any sense to just disappear get out of their way so they can brainwash more people. I understand that. But why should I stand by and allow that to happen? I enjoy pointing out the fallacies in this horrible religion.



I don't recall ever saying or implying any such thing. But if this is your opinion of me, I thank you for the compliment.

The knowledge of what science actually knows is available to anyone. If you would like to know what genetitists know you too can learn of these things.

In fact, there are good video lectures offered by "The Teaching Company" look them up. You can get video lectures on just about any topic you're interested in.

I couldn't care less about what the 'followers' of this mythology think or believe. Why should I care about them? The mythology itself teaches this kind religious bigotry.

I reject the Biblical myth because they are utterly absurd, and clearly false. No more reason is required.

As far as making a religion out of it, I think history speaks for itself. People have clearly been extremely adversely affected by these horrible myths. Just look at the witch burnings that went on for hundreds of years in Europe all because people believe in the superstition that there is a Satan who buys people's souls.

It's clearly a dangerous mythology. In fact, if you back-up and look at the big picture (not just the Christian spin-off), you can see that these Abrahamic mythologies continue to create religious hostilities right up to our present day. You have Jews and Muslims hating each others, and Christians and Muslism hating each other, all in the name of God.

The poor atheists, and other spiritual people who believe in more loving spiritualistic have to live on this planet too. Why should we have to put up with all the Abrahamic religions calling each other names, and making trouble in the name of God. And they even point their fingers at us (us being atheists and non-Abrahamic people), and calling us "heathens" etc.

When is the hatred in the name of Jesus and/or God going to stop?



I don't think there's anything funny about it at all. I think it depicts the absolute truth of reality. Christians constantly accuse other people of being "ungodly" for not believing that Jesus is God and that the Bible reprsents the "Word of God", and then they get all irate and offended when the non-believer tears the myth to shreds by pointing out how utterly absurd and ignorant it is.

I don't think the cartoon is funny. It simply portrays the truth of what Christians do. They act like it's an insult to them to disagree with them, all the while they are insulting everyone who they disagree with.

Just shows you how blind and hypocritical they truly are.

Look at you. You just tried to do the very same thing. You just claim that all the non-believers must be in some sort of horrible emotional pain to not believe the ancient Hebrew fables.

Insult the non-believers and then act like you can't understand why they have totally no respect for your views.

Oh but none of the science on that particular thing is set in stone. Which is why they call it the "THEORY" of evolution upon many other "THEORIES". A theory is nothing more then an educated guess my friend.

Hi ladies....what's happening in here?

Well, if the Bible teaches that, then it's clearly false. Because geneticists have traced the evolution of mankind out of Africa and the entire story is told in the fossil records with no sign or evidence of any flood, especially one that would have been so profound that it would have fully restructured the Earth.

So if the Bible teaches what you claim, then you've just added to the list of why it cannot possibly be true.

All you seem to be doing it revealing just how ignorant you are of what our scientists actually know about the history of our planet.

Oh please. You can't be serious.

The very simple fact of the matter is that Christianity is a highly proselytizing religion.

It's the Christians who are constantly trying to argue with everyone that the Bible is the "Word of God".



If Christianity wasn't such an ignorant and belligerent religion in he first place it wouldn't find itself in such a 'defensive' position.

I have no sympathy for any religion that is so arrogant that it insults everyone who refuses to believe in it.

When it comes to Christianity who's truly casting the FIRST stone?

Answer HONESTLY, if you can.

Well, you're entitled to your opinion, but since you can't read minds, you really can't know.

I've been through a few acute episodes of a serious illness that usually kills the sufferer, one of which gave me a near-death experience. When I was young, I used to have anxiety attacks so severe I sought treatment.

Since my illnesses and concommitant near-death experiences, I've enjoyed a peace I've never known before. I now KNOW there are worse things than dying. Although I wouldn't want to make a habit of it, I pretty calmly walked into surgery at John Hopkins about this time of the year six years ago and beat the odds.

Professionally, I'm at the top of my game, and I no longer feel a need to get into bad relationships just to avoid being alone. (Because you know what? We ALL die alone-- it's a very personal thing.) I live a pretty busy and full life and I have pretty much most of what I want and want what I have.

So, you're wrong. And please spare me your pity. Give it and your prayers to the kids whom your God gave terminal illnesses to without also giving them the power to understand.

As for my trying to convert Believers? Nope, I'm only telling anyone why *I* believe or don't believe they way I do, and I let it up to them to make up their own minds. Whatever they decide is cool with me.
