There is no need to shout, we are not deaf.

Your bland commands and assertions are better aimed at those with an intelligence level lower than a cabbage, or for use on a street corner placard along with the words "The end is nigh". You are wasting your time with such verbosity on WP.

Hell and satan are creations of your own mind. Belief in God is the adult version of believing in Santa and the Tooth Fairy. As for Jesus Christ, he is just a legend in an old book called the bible which is nothing more than a mixture of history, legends and myths.

If you truly think there is any truth in your assertions prove it! We are all ears.


My cabbage friends are protesting.

Please note that he said intelligence lower than cabbage. :lol:

Your religion is nonsense and superstition. Unfit for intelligent human beings to follow.

What's wrong with a bit of old fashioned voodoo eh? Can't we have a zombie Jesus?

He did the zombie thing (three days?) after being crucified.

This is tragic - Setesh has clearly deceived you. How will Osiris save you, now that you're worshipping the wrong guy? Only Osiris can save you from ending up in the stomach of Ammut.

I never really understood that. IF Jesus is all the things he's supposed to be, wouldn't he already know if you've been naughty or nice(Santa knows, and he's only immortal ;) )?

Oh, and what if I don't want to be saved? I like warm places. Hell seems like a nice vacation home.

Ouch, dude. Your style of proselytizing doesn't help the rest of us, who try to establish a meaningful relationship, then bring up religion when the time is right. Slow down, stop yelling, and try to be intelligent when discussing religion.

Especially on a board populated by people well above the intelligent of the average human. Show some respect for them, they aren't going to lose a shouting match.

Well said. While I pounce on proselytizers and wave the atheist flag I'm actually a spiritual person, albeit in an unconventional way. Like many here I just don't take assertions by others without some sort of supporting evidence.

Personally the word "belief" raises my hackles. Spirituality is something sought by the individual and is much deeper and "hands on" in an investigative way rather than simply accepting as fact some set of rules and stories asserted by others or so called religious books.

You should check out the Christian Apologists' Research Ministry's forum. There're threads like that all the time.

Would it offend you if I said "amen"?

I haven't stopped my quest to understand my own faith and that put forth by the church I go to. A lack of self-knowledge never helped anyone. Furthermore, I am studying various philosophies to see if there is a better way to understand God. Basic Christian theology hasn't changed in two millenia, but Kierkegaard's take on existentialism seemed much more logical than the standard rhetoric that everything is "part of God's Plan."

*edit*

Henriksson, I don't bother to visit websites that consist of yelling, no matter what their point is. What purpose could it serve? And I doubt I could affect a change it that website's policy and attitude any more than I think I could change the religion and politics of this board.

one of the main reasons i can not trust in jesus is because he never carried any ID.
how did anyone know he was who he said he was without proper ID.

all they said that he did was not based on certainty that it was him that did it.

like that "loaves and fishes" story. how do they know it was jesus who performed the miracle and not some nobody in the crowd? did he wiggle his nose (like in bewitched)? is that how they knew that he created the miracle?

i do not recognize anything i do as a sin.
in my mind there is nothing to confess. does jesus only like people who have some sin to confess?
what if someone is blind to how they sin? is it still a sin?

i do not know.
i do not care really either because the universe will last eternally after the end of our solar system, and any misdemeanor i committed will all be just particles that are available to create another reality.

no matter what i do, i can not alter the course of the universe, and so there is no need to be sorry for anything.

i have nothing to "confess".

Evidence please?

(Rules of evidence must be strictly adhered to. Written testimony must be the original document and must be dated and signed by the author, and preferably notarised or otherwise witnessed and attested to. Physical evidence must include documentation establishing chain of custody. Any evidence not meeting these criteria shall be deemed inadmissable.)

Nice! Do you mind if I use the disclaimer in my future posts? It's very well-written, and explains everything in a concise manner.

^ Well, it's a little too big for a sig line, but it says all that needs to be said. I wish I had thought of it first!
