He Is Risen

[Ernie S.]

Superstitious people are funny until they start banging on your door.

I find missionaries annoying as well. I am pretty much sure of what I believe and need no one to advise me on how I should practice my faith, BUT, I don't spend 75% of my attention on a political message board criticizing their belief system.

... BUT, I don't spend 75% of my attention on a political message board criticizing their belief system.

I wish I didn't have to either. BUT, we're under assault by a swarm of soul solicitors lately, from christians to muslims, and capitalists to commies, and the list goes on ...

We're under attack by those that want EVERYONE else to bow down and believe and worship and do as their religion/politics/superstitions commands.

When is it time to shoot back?

Happy Easter. Jesus loves you

I have not seen evidence of religious people attacking atheists. What I see in the real world and here at USMB, are atheists consumed by some misconception that believers want to force them to worship our God.
WE DON'T CARE! Believe what you want. We think a spiritual belief system might make you a better person, but it's YOUR loss. More jelly beans and peeps for us.

Lots of hate in your heart - you would do well to get rid of it. Life will be more enjoyable and pleasant if you can. Good luck.

My three children, eight grandchildren and one great granddaughter would disagree whole heartedly about the hate. Some of my oldest grandsons just might tear you a new arsehole over it.

As far as life being more enjoyable. I'm 77 years old and about spent. I still mow and trim an acre and a half and do some gardening but my manly days are gone. I will enjoy it if Americans finally use their good sense and lay all this worship of ancient gods imagined by folks who believed in witchcraft and thought the earth was flat, to rest......once and for all.

The Obama's must be such a disappointment to you...

What? Soul solicitors surround and annoy us every day. They want us all to bow down to all their brand of beliefs, from god to politics. Someone is always attacking those that don't want to join someone's clan of beliefs. Bible thumpers and socialists are two such clans, gang of thumpers.

Every day?
Really?

How are they trying to get you to bow down to their beliefs?


And while you're pondering all this, take the time to search the number of threads started by atheists with the sole intention of bashing believers.

Then, STFU.

There's no hate. He just "dislikes" the smell of bullshit.

 

[Cammmpbell]

You are not logical, nutcase.

He's perfectly logical. If you love someone, you don't condemn him or her to be tortured forever and ever, screaming without end in hopelessness and agony.

It's not rocket science.

Neither of you are rocket scientists, you can't even see the truths in the Bible. Lying all the time doesn't help you guys.

LMAO!!!

I have enough sense that I don't believe an ancient crock of shit like this:

1) Mankind and dinosaurs on a boat till nearly four mile deep waters receded/evaporated

2) Big fish puking up live men

3) Men enduring a 1200 degreefurnace

4) Seas opening long enough for the white hats to pass then closing on the bad guys

5) Stone walls falling on command

6) Evil people being turned into salt

7) The sun blacked out by an invisilbe man in the sky

8) 5,000 hungry pilgrims plus women and children
being fed with two fish and five loaves then twelve baskets of leftovers collected

9) Virgin Birth

10) Healing leprosy by touching

11) Walking on water

12) Turning water into wine

13) Raising from the dead

14) Hanging a man up and bleeding him to death only to see
him rise again fit as a fiddle two days later

And....Just in case you want the opinion of a really smart guy:

"I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own--a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human fraility. Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotism. It is enough for me to contemplate the mystery of conscious life perpetuating itself through all eternity, to reflect upon the marvelous structure of the universe which we can dimly perceive, and to try humbly to comprehend even an infinitesimal part of the intelligence manifested in nature." ~Dr. Albert Einstein~

Like Cammie?

Or is that different? Somehow?

They come to my door too. I say "No thank you" and they walk away. They don't come back day after day with a new way to insult my belief system.
Someone wishing you "Merry Christmas" is in no way implying you should bow down to my brand of beliefs. A Christmas tree in the park does you no harm. "In God We Trust" on the back of a dollar bill is not an assault of your sensibilities. To see it as such and then make demands that we accommodate YOU seems a bit more obtrusive than a missionary knocking at your door.

You are still WRONG!!! Just because albert was smart doesn't mean he was right. I see smart people all the time that are complete idiots. Just because you do not believe the truth doesn't make it a lie. Go away and worship satan on your own.

Anything beyond your comprehension is fake then huh cammmpbell? I must not exist then.

I can see the truths in the Bible just fine. I can also see the falsehoods. You can't. That's because your mind is enslaved and mine isn't.

 

[Dragon]

It's all rainbows and sprinkles, yayyyyyyyyyy!

And there are no rapists, no murderers, no liars, no thiefs; no, none that do wrong.

So, does God love rapists, murderers, liars, and thieves, or not?

I can see punishing people for crimes like these. But in all honesty, I would not condemn Adolf Hitler to be tortured forever and ever, screaming in horrific despair and agony without end. (Maybe for an hour or two . . .)

There are no conceivable crimes that any human being would be capable of committing that deserve that punishment. Hell not only isn't love, it isn't even justice.
