Re: I'm Curious...

I can accept that. I honestly could care less if you have faith, I personally think it's ridiculous to believe something for not good reason, but that only my opinion. However, what I do object to is the forcing of your faith onto others, which is what happens all too often.

God commands us threw the Bible to force our beliefs upon others without mercy. Do you have a problem with us following the teachings of Christ?

And I listened, I was a Christian for a significant portion of my life, but I eventually grew out of it once I realized there is no reason to believe it.

This is a reason for us to apostate our own beliefs? I am sorry but I do not feel the obligation to join you in failure.

Do you not find it strange that God has now led you to the Landover Baptist Church at this point in your life? God has bought you here for a reason. If not,you could of ended up in any stupid place, (ex American Idol, Vatican City looking for an Altar Boy job or even Salt Lake City.

Re: I'm Curious...

Did this forum specifically? No. But fundie christians everywhere are infringing on my rights, and this seemed to harbor a great number of them. I appreciate your infraction notice by the way. Funny, I thought there was some hope for you all yet. Of course, if you were just try to continue your game, you would have done exactly the same thing.
And I don't particurally appreciate being called a retard, I've yet to call anyone a name here. And I'm sure you'll forgive me for thinking that the site landoverbaptist.org might be SOMEWHAT related to landoverbaptist.net

Re: I'm Curious...

While I appreciate that you didn't immediately tell me to go away, and asked if you could help me, you still didn't answer any of my questions. Would you please, if only to help me understand?

But I'll tell you what. Here are a few things that will convince me that YOUR specific God is real.

1. If God came down to me in a beam of light, and told me to convert to your specific religion, or I would surely be cast into hell.
2. If your religion had some sort of extremely specific prophecy that could not have been predicted using science at that time, and came true in an extremely clear way.
3. If an undeniable supernatural miracle occured.
4. If you came up with a reasonable logical argument for your God.

And if you could provide any evidence for your God existing, that would certaintly be a step towards converting me.

1. Well let's see two good examples, maybe the burning bush.. or hey better yet Jesus.
2. Ever remember reading about the prophecy that Jesus was going to be born? Guess what.. it happened!
3. We exist how much more of a miracle do you need?
4. God exists, he tells us through the Bible

Re: I'm Curious...

Wrong again. It doesn't happen often enough. If we forced Christianity onto more people, less people would go to Hell. Why do you want people to go to Hell?

You don't call the promise of Eternal Life a good enough reason? How picky are you?

I don't want people to go to hell, but either way nobody is. I have no reason to believe such a place exists. And a promise of eternal life isn;t good enough, because I have no reason to believe that worshipping your god will grant me eternal life. If you have evidence for the existance of heaven or hell, I'd gladly hear it.

Yeah, I do, because not everyone believes what you do, and you have NO right, none at ALL, to force those beliefs on us. Do whatever you want, just so long as you keep it to yourselves. Its called separation of church and state, and it's in the constitution, which you would support if you were a true American.

That's not what God says. Do you think God is a liar?

I have no reason to believe such a place exists.

It clearly says so in the Bible, how much more reason do you need?

And a promise of eternal life isn;t good enough, because I have no reason to believe that worshipping your god will grant me eternal life. If you have evidence for the existance of heaven or hell, I'd gladly hear it.

The Bible! Are you deaf or blind or something?

No, you have NO right to be wrong about stuff.

We are True Christians, and we support the Bible. That is all.

4. God exists, he tells us through the Bible

1. There is no historical evidence for the burning bush, nor Jesus
2. Again, no evidence that it was fufilled or even created beforehand.
3. Evolution is no miracle, just a succesion of logical events.
4. I do not believe something because an old book written by Bronze Age sheep herders told me to.

Are you blind? I've said over and over again that the Bible has no value as evidence, which is how we know thing are true. There is some history in it, true, but most of what it describes is impossible, unlikely, or untrue. And as a matter of fact, if I were wrong, I still would have the right to be wrong. That's because we are free to have any beliefs that we choose, and there's not a thing that anyone can do to stop that.

Hm. Point taken. It was an assumption, an unfair one, but a reasonable one I think. It's a shame, really.

No, it's not. All you have done is prove that you have no knowledge or understanding of two of the most important documents in history.

1. He has. His name was Jesus Christ.

Re: I'm Curious...

Are you people senile? Jesus was born Jewish. I read that article many times throught that was posted about Jesus not being Jewish. He was infact born Jewish(or whatever it was called at the time). The article says you people have been brainwashed, where as you are right now being brainwashed. Just because someone rights a big fany article(i dont care if it is your pastor) doesnt mean it is true.

Hey ben. Good to see another person on here with a shred of intelligence. It's pretty infuriating isn't it? I'm guessing that these people's motto is
"IF REALITY DISAGREES WITH THE BIBLE, THEN REALITY IS WRONG!"
They wonder why we hate them...

Oh, so now you HATE us? For trying to save your disgusting self from the Lakes of Fire?

Yes, you are right. We do wonder. I know that I do.

Will you kindly explain in detail why you hate me?
