Recognize him?

No, can't say that I do! I was raised in the Church of England, lost my faith a few years back.

If it involves a Catlick priest, please remember this is a family site.

I belonged to the Church of England, which is Protestant, do you needn't worry!

Oh and Mary Ethedreda, I will give you the readers digest version of how I lost my faith (if you really would like to know!) it'll take me a while to write, but I'll post it once I've finished.

If you love logic so much, point out the logical fallacy in that sentence.

Sorry to post again the same quote but I was not aware that I'd said I love logic

Well, I don't believe in god, or that Jesus is the saviour, so a statement like 'I rejected Jesus' would imply an assertion that Jesus is a real thing, something which I don't believe. So completing the sentence would involve me lying about my own beliefs.

as an atheist... it would not be a moral thing...

Re: An Atheist speaks

Welcome friend. I believe (and trust) in God, country and family, in that order.
I live by and follow the KJV Holy Bible EXACTLY as God had it written. I do not even try to interpret or manipulate any of His guidance. I do as it says. If God wanted the instructions to be different, He would of had the Bible changed.
Either you are with God (and therefore, a True Christian™) or you are not and doomed to an eternity in Hell. It does not seem like much of a choice, does it son? Make the right one.

Hi there, well, after a rather helpful post from a previous contributor I realise that KJV stands for King James Version. I am familiar with it, I do own a copy and am familiar with it. Even as an atheist I can appreciate the splendid liturgy and eloquent prose

As for my 'doomed to eternity in hell', we'll I did believe that once, a few years ago, but since losing my faith (and thereby my belief in hell) death has lost it's sting. Personally I think that it's this life that matters, and that's what we must focus on to improve.

What brought you to Christianity if you don't mind my asking?

Broccoli is best served shortly boiled or fried at high temperature with garlic, rosemary, thyme and other herbs; or roasted in the oven with previous mentioned herbs, oven dried tomatoes, or blanché, served with cheese fondue. And then I´m sure I missed some opportunities to serve and eat broccoli. Boiling it to a unidentifiable mess is nothing less than an act of barbarism.I am here, Why are you here?

Kind regards, Roland

Cheers, I shall try that.

I'm here because I want to know more about this culture

Re: An Atheist speaks

Give us the Reader's Digest version. I'll even help. Simply fill in the blanks!


I decided to reject Jesus' Saving Grace because I am obsessed with the sin of ________ and have decided to dedicate my life to serve this sin by doing the following: ____________.


Most atheists are obsessed with gay sex, as that's the number one reason people leave the loving embrace of an invisible being. In time, they determine to fill that hole in their heart by placing things into their soul via the rectum. I don't know if anyone can really say why. Some say it's a Freudian thing - obsession with pooping as babies becomes obsession with gay sex as adults. Some say it's the consequence of a depraved soul - losing the ability to think logically. I'm not sure, but perhaps even you can be helped. I will keep you in my prayers, at least until the LORD directs my prayers elsewhere.

Well, thank you for your prayers, however, I can't say I'm obsessed with gay sex! I would presume a homosexual might be into gay sex, but as a straight man I can't say I give it much thought.

As for the 'filling in the blanks', I don't mean this to offend, but as an atheist I don't think it would be proper of me to fill it in, I don't consider Jesus to be a saving grace, so it would not be a moral thing to fill in the blanks as it would constitute a falsehood. I really don't mean to offend you over this.

Also, "incomplete Introduction", what do you mean by this? And how do I correct it?

Re: An Atheist speaks

That is a LOOOONG story! If you must know what church I was in the Church of England, I went to St Peters Church in Bolton. I'm not sure if I consider them failing me though, they were teaching me what they thought was right. My disbelief took a few years to come about, and will require more than the space in this post to describe!

Re: An Atheist speaks

Ha ha! Would you eat a raw broccoli?

Broccoli is best served shortly boiled or fried at high temperature with garlic, rosemary, thyme and other herbs; or roasted in the oven with previous mentioned herbs, oven dried tomatoes, or blanché, served with cheese fondue.

Why are you here? Just out of interest

Re: An Atheist speaks

1. There is only one Christian Religion, dear.
2. True Christians™ don't contrast with each other, as we all trust the Holy Bible to say what It means, and mean what It says.
3. Irrelevant. We're not wrong, according to Jesus, and that's who counts.



Would you tell us what church failed you as a child, what Bible verse frightens you the most, and how you came to reject the perfect and conditional love of the Redeemer of Mankind?

Just realised I didn't answer your questions completely. Forgive me. You asked me which bible verse frightens me the most, to be honest it doesn't frighten my now, but when I was a Christian (and I have read the bible cover to cover) it was basically the entire book of revelation. Not so much frightening, more disconcerting
