As is the totality of your post, because you included no Scripture to support it.
So what's next? Saying you have freedom of speech (while attempting to silence others, on their forum), which you DON'T (here)? Or attempting to impress people with your science knowledge (you really won't)?
Or how about impressing me, by actually reading the thread and seeing just how many times each of your so-called "points" has been refuted and dismissed? You might even *gasp* learn something!!1!
Or really impress me: read the Bible, so you can discuss it here from an informed viewpoint, instead of your present state of ignorance?
As you can see, 666 is everywhere. Here's an example of a popular browser. Whic no one sees because they aren't totally maniacs.

As you can also see, there are no coincidences. All things are either designed, allowed or at least monitored by Jesus.

So, you call yourself "educated". But this is just casuistry. You are searching for every possible angle you could blame the mainstream and then you cry wolf where there is none.
There is a friend of mine who shared a very telling anecdote with me.
"There was a man, who was always tranquil. One time, a friend of his came over, and said to the man, "You will not believe what happened! So, there was a big fight, where X has-" The man cut in, "Is this relevant to my life?" The friend replied, confused, "...no." The man continued, "Will it affect me positively in my future if I know this?" THe friend replied, even more confused, "...no?" The man didn't stop, and asked another question, "Will it do any good to you if you tell me this?" The friend said, "No." The man asked one more question, "Will it affect you positively if you tell me this?" The friend replied, "No." The man asked his final question, "Then why would you tell me anything that does no good to either of us, will not affect positively either of us and is not relevant to our everyday life?" The friend had nothing to say, and he walked away."
So, the summary of this story is this: Don't stick your nose where it does NOT belong. Stay in the study, reading the Bible, Educated Fool.

PS.: No one cares if I think rationally, because what you call heresy, I call the end of the Religious Monocracy and the beginning of the clear mind. Suck on that. Let there be Metal.
Nobody exists on purpose, nobody belongs to anywhere, everybody's going to die.

Brother Doctor Professor White is no fool. You, on the other hand, are sharing an anecdote that probably originates -- not from a "friend", but from the quote below. Furthermore, you have not been kind, because you not only called our esteemed Brother True Christian™ a fool, but because you barged into our community to tell us that we aren't allowed to have opinions that you dislike.
This leads to the pinnacle of irony, as you employ the imperative tense to virtually command us to keep our noses out of business which is not yours. You further direct us to stay in the study and read the Bible. This is exactly what we are doing and the ongoing mission of this site.
We want people who visit us to read the Bible. We are not the ones wandering about, hopelessly misinformed on its contents.
Ordering us to read the Bible is akin to telling us to breathe. We already have that covered, thank you very much.
At this point, I am sorely tempted to find a gaming community site, barge in there in a boorish, entitled manner and instruct them to learn some badly needed manners. That, too, would be ironic; but it might actually be necessary, helpful, ultimately kind, and very, very true.
Before you speak ask yourself if what you are going to say is true, is kind, is necessary, is helpful. If the answer is no, maybe what you are about to say should be left unsaid.
His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.
Your words say "This guy is an uneducated man." I say: That is not true. But if you think that being a slave to a religion that looks down on everything that tells the truth of thinking, then I am clearly the most uneducated, brainless idiot on this planet. We all are equal Bible or not, Jesus or not, God here or there, atheist or baptist.
Nobody exists on purpose, nobody belongs anywhere, everybody's going to die.

PS.: Calling me ironic is like calling a fly pathetic for flying into the spider's web. Did not do it on purpose.

The Overwatch is such an awesome game to play, on any platforms say, XBOX, Playstation, or PC as buy getting the PC CD Keys online.
Well, an enthusiast. Hello! Get out of this hellhole before they will slap an "Unsaved trash", a "Retarded Posting" and a "Full of it" sticker! Oh... one of three happened. Well, crap. Save yourself if there isn't a God to save you.
The man continued, "Will it affect me positively in my future if I know this?" THe friend replied, even more confused, "...no?"
That's a really interesting story. Thanks for sharing it.
I hope you can see, from the selected quote, how it has nothing to do with the conversation we're currently having. Except, maybe, that it involves confused people.
Ask Jesus Christ to come into your heart and guide your life with His light. Then, ask yourself, "Is my life improved by Christ's wisdom?" If the answer is no, it's because you didn't really ask Christ to come into your heart. Do it until you get it right.
Acts 13:8 And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

Why won´t you just relax, read the Bible and become a somewhat respected member on this forum?

You knew nothing a month ago, you know nothing now, you will know nothing in the future and you'll never know anything that is related to me.
You may prefer to see yourself as a unique individual, but this thread has over 1600 posts. In all likelihood, we have dealt with many visitors who are similar to you in any number of ways.

Every single poster who pops up here at Landover Baptist is labeled as "Unsaved Trash" until the pastors have been led by the Holy Spirit (and an intensive investigation) to designate them otherwise. I was Unsaved Trash at one time and many of the senior members of the Church put me through my paces. Eventually, through my knowledge of Scripture, adherence to forum protocol and submission to the authority of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and His appointed earthly leaders, i.e. the menfolk of Landover Baptist Church, I was pronounced a True Christian™. It was a joyous day for me.
*gasp* You THINK? God does not allow thinking! What kind of abomination would think? That is against God's rule!
While I am aware that you are employing broad sarcasm, you offer a valid point. The truest of True Christians™ know that the Bible cautions The Lord's followers against too much thinking.
Proverbs 12:15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.
Jeremiah 8:9 The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the Lord; and what wisdom is in them?
Psalm 94:11 The Lord knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
1 Corinthians 1:27
But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.

Indeed Sister. Perhaps I should have avoided the polite circumlocution and said "It is blindingly obvious that ..."?

Jesus did come to my heart, when I was young. Do you know, what happened then? He destroyed every single hope of mine. He for apart my dreams like you tear apart a piece of paper. He left nothing than destruction and chaos everywhere in my heart. And then, he left. Suddenly and without a word. I was devastated, and then I picked up a book called "Origin of Species" by none other than Charles Darwin. I was enlightened by science, and while I do not believe in any deity, I believe in kindness and a lot of other feelings that are coming from my personal experience. Thus, religion, as a whole, became obsolete for me. Religion was nothing more than a joke for me to have a good laugh at it. And do you know what do I find simultaneously funny and horrible? The indoctrination that causes people to blindly believe in something the normal people would never do.
You seem a bit angry and worse: you seem to fuel new forum members with your anger:

Hello there, Roland. You seem nice, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. I have read the bible. Multiple times. I have never shown more interest in reading it as more than a storybook. I never said that "This holds such a meaning that I must deny myself and drop down to my knees and worship someone who, I don't think, exists." Sorry to destroy anything that is religious, but the most efficient way of controlling people is through religion.

Oh, how can I fear a god that does not exist? There are things that can not be proven by your, calling on quote, "Creation Science". What caused the extinction of dinosaurs? Why are there fossils? If god really created the universe, why did it create us and then no one else? What if religion is just some crazy old man's delirious dream on the edge of their death? Is there really a life after death? Why are Baptist men dicks to their wives?
Do you know what I consider the most prescious thing in our existence? Our ability to feel empathy. And when I read/see/hear something about a man beating his wife because some thousand year old storybook told them to do that, it's a shame. Rape is okay for you? I think I can find some men who would be more than happy to rape you regardless of your marital status. Slavery is okay for you? I could go and search for you and then sell you for a nice amount of money that would do me better than you. Violence is okay for you? I could find some people who would beat you up just enough to leave you on the verge of death, where not even the Holy Jesus himself can save you.
And there is one more thing: I am a man, but I'd murder anyone who'd even think about laying a finger on my girlfriend. She is sacred to me and anyone fu<king with her will get their motherfu<king @ss kicked. Be baptist or not. Because I value her more than myself. Think about this. And if some baptist dick rapes her, I'll make sure he is going to eat that penis that took my girlfriend's virginity she reserved for me and me only. If he forces my girlfriend into a marriage, I'll force a shotgun up his rectum and pull both triggers to feel that I'm not joking when I say: "No one fu<ks with my relatives. No one."
It is blindingly obvious that there are people enslaved by a religion, while the rest of the world either laughs, spits on or straight up hates.
Well, from your posts here you don't seem like a laughing sort of a guy. So tell us, are you a spitter or a hater? Whichever it is, does that make you proud of yourself?
