Welcome, friend. It looks like it's your first post. Why not head over to the introduction forum?

As friendly advice, I wouldn't use that photo for an avatar.

Re: Ask an Atheist Anything

Well technically God does not believe in atheists, why should we? As the Good Book says in Romans 1:18-25 -
"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen."

Amen, everyone who doesn't believe in God is in denial!

If you keep reading, you'll see that if you are in denial about God's existence, He will turn you into a queer:

Romans 1:26-27: For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

Re: Ask an Atheist Anything

Because he is a liar. Which is really no surprise seeing as he is an atheist. They have no qualms with rape, murder, theft, bestiality, and homosexuality so why would they shy away from dishonesty. Those people have no moral fiber whatsoever.

Interesting language. Do you kiss your mother with that mouth? The funny thing is, last time I checked anyway, moral values really has nothing to do with religion. Regardless of if someone is Christian, Jewish, Muslims, or atheist, they can still have good table manners. I've not lied since I was a boy, and even then I apologized after suffering great punishment for my wrongdoing.

Amen Brother Remy! And they're cowards too. I have yet to see even one atheist who is willing to go toe-to-toe with a True Christian™ (who is filled with the Holy Spirit) in debate. They run like cockroaches when the light of Christ is shone upon them.

Cowards, really? Perhaps he has better things to do than bicker over the internet in one of your silly hate-fueled quarrels.

Do they really allow such unintelligible people to become pastors? Or is it really about bending and twisting the words of nonbelievers and manipulating God's word so that you can proverbially sodomize it and toss it around as if it were a plaything.

And, about homosexuality. Directly insulting it and bluntly correlating it to atheism is like correlating polygamy to modern Christianity. You're all either:

• Horribly misguided

or

• Idiots.

Bother. It seems you have removed the edit button (probably in an attempt to hide your shortcomings when people make mistakes, to add to that previous claim of manipulation). Well, I meant "moral values really HAVE nothing to do with religion."

Fixed.

Table manners are moral values now?

Well, I guess it depends on who you are eating.

I actually found that funny.

On a serious note, I was using table as a metaphor... ehh, figurative language rather.

Re: Ask an Atheist Anything

Why do you hate God so much?

Atheists don't hate God. At least, most of the ones I know do not. They simply lack belief in him. You may find this wrong or immoral, but... oh, why do I bother trying to explain this.

Why are you so angry?

I'm not angry at all, actually. I have numerous friends -some Christian, some not, all of which love hanging out with me. I have a beautiful, intelligent, and caring girlfriend and a good occupation.

Is it true your cult sacrifices animals?

Yes, because all atheists in the world go to a Tuesday night meeting where we drink the blood of goats.

You DO realize that you're going to Hell, right?

What was that whole tidbit about repenting your sins before dying? And why would an atheist care if they're going to Hell if they don't believe in it?

Why do you hate Jesus, what has he ever done to you?

I don't hate Jesus. Some may, but being atheist, I don't. I believe him to be a very good prophet, and a man who united masses into the religion now called Christianity.

Whats up with all the chanting?

...What?

Have your family disowned you now that you're an athiest?

Not at all. My mother is Christian and my father is atheist. They love me unconditionally, no matter who I choose to be.

How many children have you molested?

None.

Why do you ignore the constant signs from God to give up this cultist nonsense?

Well, it's not really cultist if you don't participate in any rituals or ceremonies, is it?

Why are you called 'Drain'?? Were your parents hippies or somethin'?

Derogatory term. Doesn't that break a rule?

Can you hear those Demons talking inside your head?

If by demon, you mean my conscience allowing me to make intelligent, logical, and moral decisions, then yes.

Do you really believe if we were to crucify Richard Dawkins, and lock him in a cave, he'd rise from the dead in, like, 3 days or something?

First off, most atheists don't give a wank about Dawkins. Second, I think he'd just die and the people who did it would be brought to justice, because this isn't circa 0 B.C./A.D.

Another note: I find it a tad weird that you would give infractions to people, seeing as how you are mainly based in the United States, where freedom of speech is preached. I'm just expressing my beliefs, as your entire website does. What harm can I do?

Are you that retarded? Freedom of speech under the U.S. Constitution is freedom from government intrusion. This discussion board is a private entity. Your rights on this board are detailed here; please do let a pastor know whenever they are violated.

Re: Ask an Atheist Anything

I noticed that the Christians in this site are only insulting and lying about atheists without giving any real proof. I am an atheist, and i am not a liar, i dont sacrifice animals, i am heterosexual, i dont rape, i dont murder, i have christian and atheist friends, and i wasn't rejected for being an atheist.
I think that the ones in this site just can be part of a discussion without insulting with no proof or no knowledge about the person they are insulting.

This is what God says about atheists:
Psalm 14

1The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

So when you come here and say "Hi! I'm an atheist" you are already started with 2 strikes against you.
1) It's like starting an introduction by saying: "Hi! I'm an evil retard". So come on, how serious can we take you?
2) You cite that we fail to take you seriously "without giving any real proof". Psalm 14:1 is the only proof we need.

The purpose of our forum is for mature True Christians ™ to sharpen each other as in Proverbs 27:17 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. We also help strengthen those new or weak in their faith, and help those who are close to coming to God.

We are not particularly interested in schooling every John Scopes wannabe, especially as you guys usually come unarmed with no facts or any self consistent chain of reason or body of evidence. Sometimes you are useful as you toss yourself out like huge softballs for our newer members to use as batting practice, but by and large you are just annoying and distracting pests with nothing new or constructive to add.

If you want to be taken seriously, then offer something serious.
