    Hello Mr. Stone. Please explain to me, since when a theologian can be an authority in physics?

    I realize he also got a degree in business administration, which means at least he knows how to sell stuff which may or may not be useful. Anyhow, him selling stuff which is mildly plausible as "proof" is great salesmanship, but definitively unscientific.

    In the future, I would like to request that, when talking about science, you cite only works which are peer reviewed and written by scientists, rather than things written by random people with no scientific background.

    I remember Spitzer from my Catholic days. He's a priest and therefore has scales on his eyes. He believes he's cannibalizing Christ on Christ's orders. The man is a loon.

    Do we ever actually shove words down anyone's throat?


    I know that we do hit people over the head with the Bible from time to time.* But that is only because people refuse to read it.


    They come here making all sorts of accusations about us and claims about the Bible and time after time, they have not read the actual verses being examined. On the rare occasions when they have turned their eyes upon an actual Bible verse, they ignore other verses that are pertinent to the point they are asserting. This is almost always because there are numerous verses soundly refuting their perspective and only one verse weakly supporting it.


    Let us be frank, haters of LBC, we know that most of the world is in ignorance of the True(c) contents of the Bible and those who are acquainted with it use all manner of tricks to make its words shore up their own point of view.


    This is one of the greatest dangers presented by the Bible. Happily, it also provides a worthy challenge to those who want to shine the light of reality upon it. We, the True Christians(tm) of the Landover Baptist Church community, have taken up our oil lamps, flashlights, candles and flare guns to illuminate the Bible's real contents.


    Don't blame us if the light hurts your eyes. (Or the flare guns singe your delicate feelings.)


    * We don't literally hit people over the head with the Bible. Depending on the inclusion of a concordance and other forms of annotation, that could injure or even kill someone. And the Bible literally directs stoning as its preferred form of capital punishment, not skull crushing with a leather bound collection of mashed, pressed and formed wood pulp.

    Maybe whom'st'd've'ed changed your post was the Holy Ghost, because no one here did it. At least you now have a comment that makes sense.

    Not believing is basically the only sin you need to commit to be consigned to hell. An infant who dies within moments of taking its first breath can do that without trying.

    You neglected to include the word, "please" in the sentence above. As written, it is an imperative statement, not a polite request.

    Wow this just hurts my brain so much.


    Maybe two seconds of googling would prove you wrong. The frog is named Pepe the frog. He is not a god, and the Alt-right doesn't worship him. Kek is internet slang for Lol, and both Pepe and Kek are memes. Memes should never be taken seriously, and you doing just that made me lose 10000 brain cells. Thanks

    Wow, a quick google search just proved you wrong.
    Not all Atheists and agnostics think Evolution is real, after all it is just a theory (But atleast it has evidence)
    Both links are the definition to Atheist and Agnostic.


    Satan is considered a god ((((not for me though)))) which proves that Atheists and Agnostics CAN'T believe in satan. Also, how can one "Believe" science (AKA facts)


    Being an Agnostic, I would believe god exists with proof, but there is none. This leads me to believe praying, going to church, ect. are wastes of time.

    Nice to hear on this forum's apparent cordiality, though I have yet see much of it.
    I figured because this thread was solely based on opposing "false" religions, I would correct some information...unless it was just for others to see the information originally provided and then rant on it for pages on end? My mistake, in that case.
    In all honestly, I have little correlation to Christianity. My grandparents displayed signs of catholic faith, but I'm unsure if they still practice. I fancy myself an agnostic - I have no ill will towards Christians nor the religion, but this forum interested me in its...sugar-coated hostility.

    You seem nice enough, however, so maybe it's not the entire site's population? Your lord's blessings onto you, so to speak.

    You display some knowledge of false religions, cults, idol worshipping and so on, but what does this have to do with Jesus? This is a site for fellowship and praise. Just because we occasionally warn each other about cults and their doings or we laugh and scoff at these fools does not mean we want to chat false cultish behavior with every unsaved wretch who happens by.

    God Bless!
