Re: lost faith

"I take that offensively, I'm goth"???!

What, is the habit of boys putting on black eyeshadow, girls wearing torn net stockings, and both sexes moping around like turtles with infected face-piercings...do you think this habit some kind of protected behavior?

Come on, you oh-so-liberated young folks. Get real. You choose to act like like emo idiots, and the consequences are that other people treat you like emo idiots. Don't blame us for your choices.

----

NOW THEN! Several hypotheses have been put forth about Reality. For instance:

1. Ganesh, Shiva, Brahma, and so forth rule the endless kalpas which constitute the unbounded history of the universe.

2. A Horned God invented in the 1950s is a god, and Wiccan magick is real.

3. There is nothing but the void, and humans are reincarnated variously as beetles, lungfish, hamsters, or other humans.

4. Jesus is Lord, there is one God who is a Trinity, and salvation is His gift to mankind.

5. The angel Moroni revealed gold tablets to Joseph Smith, who was a prophet and led his people to Salt Lake City and made them eat seagulls.

6. And so forth, and so on.

Now, these hypotheses are (for the most part) mutually exclusive: only one of them can be absolutely true.

Christians know which one is true, and therefore they know that all the others are false. D'oh.

Now listen to me: any religion that promotes its beliefs as absolute truth is lying its a** off if it says it is "open to other faiths" or "accepting of other beliefs". The simple fact is, if only one thing can be right and you believe you know what it is, then you HAVE TO BELIEVE EVERYONE ELSE IS WRONG.

And you are lying your a** off if you pretend otherwise.

Get real, kids. Get a clue. Blabbering talk is cheap; logical discussion costs...in the coin of clear thought.

Re: lost faith

I take that offensively, I'm goth. I'm going to report you. You just like the rest of fellow christians i've seen are blinded by your own faith. You think that because we're different that we hate God, we should burn for even being free willed. I am a christian, I worship God, and I'm a goth!

I agree with you man.. those extremist are pathetic.. I'm so glad I live in Quebec where we are 95% atheist. (Oh yeah I'm gonna burn to hell!!! ) Wait no, when I will die it will be exactly like when I was not born, THERE WILL BE NOTHING.

Re: lost faith

But you may rest assured that your family is now with Jesus. (Assuming they were Baptists, of course. If they were Methodists or Pentacostals or Catholics then they are in Hell and good riddance.)

Re: lost faith

Hey, we didn't kill your family, we just pointed out that you should celebrate it. How are we the bad guys in all this? No need to be such a Negative Nigel about your relatives being called home to Glory.

Are you serious, his family was killed and you are saying to celebrate. What would you do if you had YOUR family killed right in front of you like he did?!
You make me want to cry. I should report you all.

If that is the case, god has forsaken me. I've stiffarmed god into the dirt. I'm the almighty now, weilded with the power of freewill. I shall desend into the depths of hell only to rise again and vanquish the one who's cast me from his vision completely.

Friend, when you were thrown from the vehicle did you bump your head against anything? Your hatred of Christ may not be your fault; it's obvious to me you've become a partial retard because of the accident.

Turn to Christ now before you become a drooling, cat chasing full blown window licker. Killing your family was obviously a warning from Jesus to pull your socks up.

I thank Thee, Oh Almighty, for decending from your Throne on High to speak with us lowly worms. Tell me now that you're more powerful than God, Omnipotent one, do immortals use dial up or cable connections to access the internet?

Wait, what? You're going to "rise again" from eternal hellfire and "vanquish" who?

I suggest you try growing up instead.. You can't win against God.
You'd be so much better off repenting of your sins and accepting Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, that way you can avoid going to hell.
Please, won't you do this now?

Re: lost faith

what i'm getting at is how can there even be a god? a god who says he loves all of his children. that god is full of it. if he does exist, he can go straight to hell.

Not everyone is a child of God.
But one becomes a child of God by faith in Jesus Christ. (Galatians 3:26)
And God doesn't love everyone either, that is a lie straight from the pits of hell. (Psalm 5:5)


You're right in that an allmighty God who loves everyone would contradict reality..
But the solution to the so-called "problem of evil" is very simple and found in the Bible:
God doesn't love everyone. It's as simple as that.

Well clearly the Lord was sending you a divine message right there, honey. You'd better get to repenting and praying that he doesn't smite y'all down to the flame pit along with the others who were in that car. Aren't you glad you have this chance to be Saved and avoid hell, honey?

Re: lost faith

LukePalladino: "you've gone too far."

Ah, so?

Not up for a reasoned moral discussion, then, I take it. Too bad.

On the .01% chance that you were not merely trolling Landover with your sad story, certainly I would sympathize with your loss. But I am a realist, and I am 99.99% sure your story was pure baloney. (Only a fool would come on a forum and spill intimate details about his life in his very first post. I don't think you're quite that stupid.)

Actually, reviewing your post, I am dead-certain sure it is a troll. D'oh. Get real.

So I imagine your refusal to enter the discussion is simply cowardice.

*shrugs*

So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth thy glory. Psalm 102:15

No skin off my tongue, really, but the discussion could have been interesting. Our congregation has some interesting chats now and then, here in our online home.

We have some fun. You could too.

Re: lost faith

you've gone too far.

What? Because we rejoice your love ones are with Christ in Heaven now? By your' own story they were all good Christians. Clearly Jesus called them home to be with them.

Re: lost faith
