Re: Are You an Atheist?

All right. To anyone who is currently being mocked or insulted by the Christians on this site, do not waste your time. Look up this site on Wikipedia. You will see that these people are but a small minority of Christiannity. Their site is being petitionned to be shut down for "misinterpreting the Word of the Lord" and "spreading hateful and racist comments such as Islamofacists".
The vast majority of Christians are kind, accepting people who tolerate others and try to convert them peacefully. There will always be a small, extremist minority who are never content. If you wish a calm, reasoned discussion about Christ, visit any site from here:

http://www.christianwebsite.com/top-10-christian-websites/

These are proper Christian websites untainted by hateful comments or racism. Now, I know many people on this site will be offended by this. However, allow me to clarify: NOT EVERYONE ON THIS SITE IS WHAT I JUST DESCRIBED. Only some.

Re: Are You an Atheist?

Prove it is right.
The Bible is a thing that intrigues me. There were in reality Hundreds of Gospels that were removed (ie the Gospel of Judas)
I ask: Why were so many gospels removed?
And please: Im asking a question, I honeslty want a Christian point of view.

It wasn't removed. It was never considered during the Council of Nicea. Either they didn't have a copy of it because it was so obscure or they didn't lend it much credence being a gnostic text.

The "gospel of judas" only exists in fragments and was only discovered a few years ago. The same goes for the "gospel of mary magdeline."

Maybe you should read up before showing your ignorance.

Re: Are You an Atheist?

PG, you know Wiki is not something to read and trust implicitly. It is written by any and all passers by. It might be accurate, it might be totally off base.
Remember the TV show 'Cheers'? Remember 'Cliff Claven'? Cliff is like Wiki. Entertaining to read, but the words are from a drunken mail man and should be respected as such.

First of all, you had no call to insult me. If all you want to to is to insult me, dont bother answering me.
Yes, i dont know what im talking about.
WHICH IS WHY I WAS ASKING QUESTIONS.
To learn more about Christianity.

And, Mr Hutchins,
It is also on CIA factbook and National Geographic, both with reputable sources and accepted, verifie facts.

[James Hutchins]

Re: Are You an Atheist?

National Geographic talks about Landover???????? I'd love to see that link!

CIA Facebook???? What is that? Link please.

[piercegraham]

Re: Are You an Atheist?

oh oops not the Landover site, i was talking about the Gospel of Judas. As for the Landover banning, it is very true. You can either google "Ban Landover CHurch" and find many sites, or, to make it quick,

You see, that's what the Google is for, asking questions. Brother Levi is all about reading the KJV1611 and reading about Christian History, so he can be informed.

And please don't smack me, mods for going third person.

[James Hutchins]

Re: Are You an Atheist?

Now see, this is one of the things I (along with some others here like Brother Levi) am talking about. You need to get you facts down and confirmed. You need to have the knowledge in and backed up by RELIABLE sources.

For example, you'll find most sites that are against the LBC are run by and supported by just one person. We have 12,000 plus members in good standing. How many disgruntled sites did you find. Does everyone in Canada love the country? Do most love Canada?

This sort of logic and thought you must do first before speaking. You need to do research. If you spout off poorly thought out questions, expect to get ridiculed somewhat.

Re: Are You an Atheist?

Mr Levi,
I did not "smack" you. I simply stated that you should not jump to insulting me before even trying to have a reasoned discussion. I believe that everyone should accept everyone, regardless of religion. Only then can we call ourselves.... well, oops, not "evolved", but Human. We should cast aside all hate a accept ourselves. Why shun a person who is different? Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Judaism, Hinduism and any other religion will eventually "die out" as all religions do over time. In hundreds of years, people will look back on these days and realise that we were wrong to hate. So, I swear to n longer mock Christianity here. I will simply read and Voice my opinion calmly and reasonably. I ask everyone to show me that same courtesy.

What factual basis have to make such a statement?

We do not hate here at LBC. Period. Hate is simply not allowed or tolerated.

Re: Are You an Atheist?

Mr Hutchins,
Sadly, I have, in the past few minutes, found dozens of sites against this one. And, compared to 6.5 billion people, 12,000 supporters is very small. Hundreds of thousands are against this site and want it shut down for "spewing hateful, racist and false comments. I, however, am against shutting down this site. Any person has the right to their opinion, no matter how extreme it may be. If there is ever a petition to save this site, I will gladly sign. The day were anyone can make any comment without ridicule will mean that Man has reached the Height of Society.

Ah, I have several examples of religions that "died out".
The religions in ancient Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley. The ancient gods of Egypt. The gods of Rome, or Greece. Dozens of religions existed. Some evolved into our current ones. Some died out. But all change over time. Christianity may be an exception, I doubt either you orI will ever live to see it.

[James Hutchins]

Re: Are You an Atheist?

Lets just say there are 48 sites run by individuals out there that want LBC shut down. That is four dozen and qualifies as 'dozens', correct? 48/12,000=.00004%

Now, you have to admit, .00004% is a pretty insignificant number. Do you think it is possible that .00004% of the population might have mental issues? That would mena of the 6.5 billion people, 26 million have some sort id physcological issue. Seems perfectly reasonalbe to me. Actually, the number is 4.7% or about 305 million.

See what I mean about thinking before you speak?

Graham, you came in here flailing about flaunting your atheism in front of a bunch of VERY Conservative Christians, but if you will keep a respectful tongue, I will be as nice as I can to a hellbound sinner.

Your first statement was to not bother trying to convert you. I think you're looking to be converted. I think you're a confused young man reaching out for something. All I can say is that I'm gonna pray for to you discover True Christianity™.

I fully concur, Brother Levi!

Well, I am off to bed, it is nearly 10 PM, way past my bed time.
