philomath's Introduction

[philomath]

First off all let me say that philomath means "A lover of learning".
and that's what i do in my spare time, i suffer from insomia so when i don't sleep i read, primarily religions.

No I'm not christian....
i did grow up in a christian family, but lost my faith about the time i became 20, that's when my interest for other religions started, and have since. I do believe that there is something bigger out there but i don't know what..... yet.

i have read so far about all in eng: the Qur'an (Islam), the bible (NASV, NIV, Jehovah) , the tanakh (Hebrew), some Hindu tekst, Buddhism, Wicca, about the Norse gods, even Satanism. i know i know...

I have spoken with some of them, about others Opinion on different religions and now I'm here.

I'm here to learn form you an your way towards salvation.

There is so much wrong here. Why on Earth would you ever speak to a non-Christian for any reason other than converting them to Christianity?

OK, I have to ask, because I just don't understand . . .

First, you gave up on Christianity. I assume there was a reason -- and somehow, you decided the Bible wasn't believable. Right?

So naturally, you moved on to false religions based on the Bible! (Islam and Judaism)

That makes no sense. The Bible isn't reliable to you, so you go to two false religions based on it after rejecting Jesus?

Then OK, I can understand the Hindus (since they pre-date Jesus) and Buddhism (because it's popular and has no nasty God to watch over you).

But here's where I'm really confused.

There are a handful of myths about the Norse gods, and nothing else extant. Any "Odinism" or the like is more closely related to something from Marvel Comics than anything practiced in pre-Christian Europe.

And Wicca was created in the 1950s by Gerald Gardner; he stole much of his material from Aleister Crowley, a pathetic "wizard" who died penniless and pathetic, cursed by God.

How could you consider either of these even worthy of study? They're jokes! They're less serious than Pastafarianism, for crying out loud!

As for Satanism, I assume you mean LaVeyan. Which is basically "atheism plus lulz". So does that mean you have gone from Christianity to every false religion you could find, finally arriving at godlessness and despair?

In that case, welcome! We'll be happy to help you invite the Light of Jesus into your empty, loveless heart!

Re: philomath's Introduction

So, what about Jesus did you not understand...The part where god waterboards everybody to death except for Noah...No wait, thats also in the Koran...

So, you have a long list of things you dont believe in. But most things people believe in are not Jesus, so thats okay. As long as you dont admit to being an atheist, I know you will return to Jesus eventually.

Re: philomath's Introduction

I only clicked on this because I attended a tent revival in Philomath, GA some time ago.

I don't recall if the pastor was an eskimo.

Yours in Christ,
