Re: Get to know me first!

I understand that you believe your bible was written THROUGH god. My only business was putting across that god didn't actually WRITE the bible- as implied.

Here are some Articles from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights for you to feast your eyes upon:

Article 18.
Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.

Article 19.
Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.

As for a tutorial on Religious Tolerance, I believe a mini-version's apparent.
"Religious Tolerance", for individuals, doesn't mean that they have to accept everyone elses views as correct, rather that this is what they believe and should be respected. It's simple.

Well mentally less gifted friend, show us where we disrespect these rules?
You have the right to think we're wrong, we have the right to know you're wrong.
You have the right to say so within the boundaries of the forum, we have the right to smite you.

And er, we don't view other religion's viewpoints as correct, far from it. As Pastor Ezekiel so aptly put it, if you refuse our attempts to Save(tm) you, I couldn't care less if you burn. Go ahead and believe something else than the KJV1611, go right ahead then.

Re: Get to know me first!

Too bad the first scrolls weren't in English, had gone through many (unreliable) translations prior and were written HUNDREDS of years before the reign of King James. The bible has gone through thousands of seives, and as I like to say, a lot of spice has been added.

I've never claimed there weren't versions before the KJV1611..
What I'm saying is that God corrected all the errors they had collected over time, and once again wrote the perfect Word, undefiled by man:
The KJV1611.

God wrote the Holy KJV1611 Bible as you write your hate speech: Using tools.
You use a computer for it, or maybe pen and paper, God Allmighty used human scribes.
They didn't write their own words, nor did they paraphrase, The Holy Spirit worked their hands and He wrote it all down Himself, through the mortal scribes of King James.
Thus, the Holy KJV1611 Bible is the literal and infallible word of God Himself.

Re: Get to know me first!

You have your views. I have mine. I believe all religions are false. (Of course, in the Buddhist religion, there is no god.) I believe that there is no god/are no gods. I'm not agnostic, deist, and I'm certainly not theist. I'm atheist. Accept that.

Oh I accept you for what you are. But don't come around here whining about not getting any respect. You can tell us that you worship a bucket of rotten cabbage for all I care. If you don't have Jesus in your life, then you are nothing but a fool, and you can expect to be treated as such until the day you either accept Jesus and repent, or Jesus sends you down to eternal hellfire.

Psalm 5:5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

Psalm 14:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Re: Get to know me first!

You know what really ticks me off in life? Everyone's trying so hard for each religion to be accepted- christianity in particular. But where's the respect for atheism? It sickens me. As long as christians get their own way, they can belittle every other religion of the world. Even christian denominations! heck, why don't people spend more time getting christians to accept Sikhism, Islam, Judaism? How about Atheism?

First of all, True Christians™ has not only the right, but the obligation to discredit other (false) faiths. The debbil himself had created every faith except Christianity (which Jesus created, of course!). So all these other paths leads to damnation. Would we be good people if we allowed all these folk to walk straight into the flames of Hell? Of course not. That's why we has to try to get them saved by telling them how stupid and ignant they are.

And as for respecting atheism, what have atheism ever done to warrant respect? It had gotten prayer taken out of public schools, and ever since then ours schools has looked like battle grounds... every day chillrens is killing other chillrens as well as they teachers, and this have been happening ever since prayer got took away and it gonna continue to happen until MANDATORY prayer be brought back into schools.

Someone mentioned god was the author of the bible- god wrote the bible. He didn't. Moses, David, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John (just to mention a few), wrote the bible. Undoubted YOU believe it's the word of YOUR god. But your god didn't WRITE it. Actually, in Islam, Mohammed reveived the Islamic Holy Book (the Qur'an) from his god via an angel. Makes more sense to me. Angels being sinless and humans being sinful, all that apparently.

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. - 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (KJV1611)

Humans had wrote the Bible, but God had wrote it THROUGH them. Just like when a man tell his secretary to write a letter for him and she write down what he tell her word for word. And as for Moohammad, a debbil in a cave had told him to write down all that ignance. It say so in they own Korange, that why they stupid for believin' that nonsense.

The reason monkey-worship isn't popular is because it is so patently ridiculous. All religions are false except for God's chosen, Landover Baptist Church. You can whine and throw a hissy fit about that all you like, but Jesus doesn't care about such base concepts as popularity. In fact He predicted that mockers like you would come along and persecute us, so please don't flatter yourself that you are going to shock us into submission.

Matthew 5:10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
5:11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
5:12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

Re: Get to know me first!

I'd really appreciate it if no one, par I, were to change my avatar. You disrespectful, unintelligent, illogical, immature, simple, close minded, sad excuses for homosapiens. Especially not to some kid sticking their tongue out. That was pathetic. Low. Just typical.

Anywho, a bit more about me. 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). I love anime... Final Fantasy, Naruto, Pokemon, but Studio Ghibli in particular. "Howl's Moving Castle" is my second favourite movie of all time. First being the recent "300"... awesome.


Actually, talking about movies, I bet you all would like Borat the Movie. Although it is only a mockumentory, I bet you'd like the anti-Semitism involved.

Re: Get to know me first!

Please tell me- I'm intrigued! Right at the very core of what violence there was in what once was Ireland, is religion (hence- "sectarian violence"). More over, disagreements were for ECONOMIC reasons.

So, the violence was caused by religion, but the violence happened because of economic reasons? Are all atheists this logical, or are you special?

Age doesn't repreasent matturity. IMO, you yourself are turning out to be very immature.

No, age does not "repreasent matturity", only those with the wisdom and humility to accept Christ can be considered truly mature.

I have no idea what faith Goethe followed. But I DO know that you're in no position to judge. Only your god, right?

No. If God didn't want us to judge, why would He leave behind a book full of guidelines for us to use when judging others?
Leviticus 19:15 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.

Too bad for you that in the long run, it's all useless. There is no god, there never has been, and never will be. Your just power-hungry, you like the thought of degrading others... since when did the christian resolution demoralise into that?

If we are power-hungry, why would we give up all control over our own lives and live according to the orders of another? If we like the thought of degrading others, why would we dedicate ourselves to saving others from eternal torment?

Where do you get these little ideas of yours?

Bill Hicks and Richard Dawkins, obviously. Haven't you been paying attention?

Re: Get to know me first!

I'll take this time to introduce myself. My name shall remain to be "Born-Again Atheist", but behind that username, is a 15 year old girl from Northern Ireland- the most pious region in the UK! How ironic!

I live my life to create music, I love it. I play the piano, viola, violin, double bass, acoustic, electric and bass guitars and am currently saving up to buy myself a flute! However, if required, i can also help out on trumpet, sax and trombone. Oh, singing also, of course!

Besides music, I love history, the sciences, maths, art, literature... pretty much everything, apart from any god.

I've not seen anyone so full of hubris and disrespect for the Lord as this little unsaved athiest tart in quite some time. Jesus has devised a little surprise lesson in humility waiting for you.

You might think you can play the flute, after all it fingers very similar to the saxophone. But despite all the advances of Bohem and the Cooper scale, God has cursed this open tube cylindrical resonator instrument and only truly saved Christians can play it properly. You will be forever cursed with intonation problems. Your lower register (particularly the low B, C, C# and D) will sound like a cloven hoved representative of Satan on earth, and your upper registers will sound like a South Florida hurricane whistling through a flamingo's anus (very similar to the screams of agony from those suffering eternal agony in hell).

The Lord can kill you at any time. Join Him now, repent and play your flute with Him and His angelic choir.

Re: Get to know me first!

Oh, Dont be so mean =]

My friend, I am not sure who this post of yours is aimed at, but if we seem mean it is only because we will stop at nothing to save someone's eternal soul. One of our brothers used to say: "Son, if I had to hit you over the head with a shovel to save your eternal soul, I'd do it". And rightly so. If we seem forthright at times it is because we as God's Elect are especially conscious of the dreadful fate that awaits those who are unsaved.

There is no you, there never has been, and never will be.
That's about as logical and supported by as much evidence as what you just said.

Your just power-hungry, you like the thought of degrading others... since when did the christian resolution demoralise into that?

If we were so "power hungry" then why would we embrace the most hated religion in the world?

We aren't degrading anyone, we only follow the Holy Bible.
Do you have a problem with the Bible? Then take it up with the writer (God!), CHILD!
