Re: Get to know me first!

...I really wanna play the skin flute now, thanks for the inspiration there.... Just realised I forgot to mention I can also play clarinet (I always forget one! lol)...

Listen up, you little over-starched potato eating blasphemous Irish tart, your posts are getting about as tiresome as that repetitious Irish penny whistle flute (which plays in only one key) music your country is known for. And that’s not to mention the ponderous clopping of the demon infested colons of homer Michael Flatley's Riverdance.

Despite all your protestations to the contrary, I don't think you have the courage of your convictions. I think you still have a little love for Jesus in your heart. But if at the tender age of 15 you think you really know what you are doing then it is time to step up and declare your eternal damnation:

That's right, either put up or shut up. Post your video on YouTube and then put a link right here at Landover so that we all know you are serious. There are no excuses, do it now, and try to be a little more articulate than some of the other videos. Otherwise, go do your homework and clean up your room.

Re: Get to know me first!

I know all about The Blasphemy Challenge, I've full intentions of making a vid once I purchase something to make a vid with. Makes sense, right?

The best i can do now, is type...
I, Shannon, deny the existence of every god every society has ever believed in. Yes, that includes god the father, son and holy spirit.

That's a heck of a lot of gods to deny the existence of. And I'm doing it.

Don't put down the musical traditions of Ireland. They're awesome- the harp, violin, tin whistles, they're all great. I used to take Irish dancing lessons when I was a kid. I love The Riverdance. And I love playing Irish trad on my violin anytime.

PS: my homework's all up to date and my room's tidy.

You do realize that they every Christian, Jew and Muslim is now obligated by God's command to destroy you? Praise Jesus He will forgive you if you ask Him.

Coward. How do we know somebody else didn't type that?

The question is: do you have scientific evidence for your claims?
Not that it matters...if you're happy being an atheist than be an atheist. Sadly, it comes with eternal hellfire but that's obvious, isn't it.

Re: Get to know me first!

Haha. You don't know.

You know I had my own doubts about becoming an atheist. Fear of hell was a major concern-

I thought:
If I die a christian and turn out to be right- well then, eternal bliss. And if I'm wrong- doesn't matter. I've just wasted A LOT of time worshipping nothing and praying to the air.
If I die an atheist and turn out to be wrong- it's eternal torture. And if I'm wrong- nothing.

When Bertrand Russell was asked if there turned out to be a god, and on his judgement day he was asked why he didn't believe- he said he would say, "Not enough evidence, god, not enough evidence". Haha, I agree.

Anyways. If entry to the kingdom only required believing, I could sure do that. But why would such an intelligent being only want me to believe in him? Wouldn't he want me to do something about it?

Next I thought: What if christianity isn't the right religion. What if I'm faced with Baal furiously asking me why I opted for his rival Yahweh?

I'll stick with atheism.

Whoops!

Re: Get to know me first!

What's wrong with defending something you believe in? Whether you wanted to be a christian apologetic or not, you kinda have been with me hanging around here.

Christian apologetics are meant, however, to argue that Christianity is reasonable and in accordance with the evidence that can be examined, analogous to the use of the term in the Apology of Socrates, written by Plato.

Christianity is a religion of FAITH, like any other religion. "Examinable evidence" is only as trustworthy as our human senses, as modified by how our brains interpret what we sense.

God's Truth is far beyond evidence, and God's Word is beyond interpretation.

We do not defend Christianity. Christianity requires no defense.

Ok let me get this straight; I understand that if you live your life as an atheist and you're right that it won't matter either way whether you lived your life as a Christian or not. Gotcha.

But in the "If Jesus exists" scenario, you can have either eternal bliss with Jesus; or anal sex with satan...and you made the choice to take your chances on hell. Which I really don't understand coming from somebody who claims to be intelligent. If believing is all that is required, why would you risk such a thing? Do you want to be gang raped by demons?

You're finally getting it. God loves faith but He also wants you to live according to his Word and tithe to his earthly representative the Landover Baptist Church.

Re: Get to know me first!

AGAIN, I'd really really really apperciate it that WHOEVER keeps giving me stupid avatars would STOP. If you're so intent on giving me an avatar, look, here's me, shrink the photo down.

You've NO IDEA how irritating it is to have someone mess with your avatar, ESPECIALLY when it's been a kid sticking their tongue out, and some freak dressed up as a leprechaun. STOP IT!

Christianity needs a lot of defense, it's falling apart at the seams as our knowledge advances. Or, err, as people use their common sense...

I don't want to turn to a religion based on fear. It WOULD confirm my belief that all religions are based on fear, though. Meh. If there's a religion for me- it's Pastifari!! Yay!! Joke.

against the advancing Muslim hordes?

[Born-Again Atheist]

Re: Get to know me first!

Against whatever you see a threat. And if that's Islam, well there then. Go defend your religion. Your god.

But Islam holds many of the same beliefs as christianity. They both believe in one god ([2.163] And your God is one God! there is no god but He; He is the Beneficent, the Merciful.). They both believe in a heaven and a hell (or words to the effect). The Koran also teaches of Jesus. Be open minded.

But the belief that all religious people share is the belief that THEIR religion is true.

Re: Get to know me first!

Yes friend but God says only Christianity is THE TRUTH(tm), therefore we Christians must destory those other, false religions out of our love for God.
If the Muslims truely loved God they would let us destory them.
