Re: Why waste time?

Perhaps it isn't (of course it is, you just don't know it yet ) but are you willing to take chance?

Check this out:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal's_Wager

Pascal's Wager is incomplete. It leaves out the possibility that we are both wrong. What if there really is One and Only One True God and it happens to be the Flying Spaghetti Monster? Then your faith in Jesus would be just as useless as you think faith in all other deities or lack of faith in any deity are.

Things would get worse if the flying spaggheti monster hated disbelievers and has prepared a helllike place for them.

Re: Why waste time?

You call me "pathetic", but I'm not convinced. I don't see how it's cowardly accepting the fact that I could spend eternity being tortured. If I was cowardly, I'd be religious. I don't feel that I should be pitied, I've everything to live for.

You're not fooling anyone with that, kid, not even yourself.
You don't actually believe you're going to be tortured for eternity, and if you deny that, then you lie not only to us, but to God and to yourself.
As I said, pathetic.

Call me pathetic. Fine. Go ahead. I'm more intelligent than you can ever wish to be.

Thou shalt not mock the Flying Spaghetti Monster! Pastafari is as logical as any other religion!

I thought I'd never see the day when someone who can make a statement in one sentence, and then contradict it with the next..
Could ever consider themselves intelligent.

Oh well, the Bible tells us about your kind..
Stupid people doesn't really tend to realize how stupid they are, after all.

The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.

Re: Why waste time?

I may be anti christ, but I'm not pro satan.

Again with th contradictions! Are you aiming to collect a John Kerry award for flip-flopping or something?

And yet you're too scared to admit that Hell exists! You're so cowardly that you blind yourself to the Truth. If you're so brave, then why aren't you off drawing cartoons of Moo-Ham-Head?

Re: Why waste time?

Seems like your bible is split on wisdom:

Proverbs 4:7
7Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

1 Corinthians 1:19
19For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.

And on fools:

1 Corinthians 1:21
It pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
1 Corinthians 3:18
If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
1 Corinthians 4:10
We are fools for Christ's sake.
I'm thinking: CONTRADICTION-

Psalm 14:1
1The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.

No wonder christians seem so confused!

Yes, that last verse applies to you directly. You are a fool, and yet you expect to comprehend the wisdom in God's Holy Word?

These verses apply to you as well.

John 8:43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 8:45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

2 Thessalonians 2:11-12 God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned.

Your father is satan, therefore nothing in the Holy Bible will make any sense at all. Glory!!

Err... was that meant to offend me? Ahaha, keep trying. There are plenty of contradictions in the KJV.

Perhaps. Why? To distract people like you.

Perhaps he has. Pastafari scripture says that those who do not worship him shall feel the wrath of his noodly appendage. R'Amen!

At least I observe and think before I start worshipping a book that doesn't agree with itself.

The Bible doesn't contradict itself. Were ever did you get that silly idea?
