Re: New here

I have no problem co-existing with you.

I look at your atheism the same way I look at drug use.

If you want to smoke marijuana in the privacy of your own home, or shoot up heroin, or whatever, fine. Your body, your problem. Just don't show up at a hospital in cardiac arrest and expect the taxpayers to fund your recovery.

If you end up stealing to support your habit, or pushing drugs on kids, I have a serious problem with you. Your problem has become everybody's problem, because you're harming others.

In the same way, if you want to hate God so much that you pretend He doesn't exist, that's your business. You are choosing eternal damnation, and God will cast you into His Lake of Fire to be burned alive forever. You've been warned; you don't care, because you prefer a life of sin; fine.

But when you want to teach children your lies, and steer impressionable youths away from Jesus and into Hellfire with you, then I have a serious problem with you.

Like drug use, your hatred of God should be a private matter. As long as you keep it to yourself and don't involve others, fine. But when you start to preach it, you should be silenced for the sake of the children you hope to sway to Satan's ways.

Just as a drug pusher shouldn't be allowed to be a teacher, neither should an atheist. Nor should you be allowed around children of any sort; if you have kids of your own, Child Protective Services should remove them from your home and place them with a good, Christian family -- same as they would if you were smoking crack around your children.

Understand now?

The feeling is mutual, if you with to worship your God then that's fine by me. Keep it a private matter.

But when, not if, you force it on others. When you preach in public streets, that's when it infuriates me, preaching blatant sexism and racism is disgusting. Passing those beliefs onto children, in my eyes at least, is worse then drug use.

Believe it or not, there's a middle ground in between worshiping God or Satan.

I'm sorry that you hate your children and wish them to spend eternity being burned alive in God's Lake of Fire.

Not really.

If you are not glorifying God, you are glorifying Satan.

Remember, Satan's greatest trick has been to convince people he's not real. That way, he wins.

It's actually quite hurtful that you think of me as not even worth of being alive.

God is playing the same game on me as well it would seem.

Until one is born again, they have not life but await eternal death. No one is "worth" being alive. We are all sinners, depraved human beings. Only in God's mercy does He allow us the means of salvation through His Son.

Should you turn your life over to Christ Jesus, you too can be spared the eternal torment of your soul that is in store for you. It's only fair, but God is merciful and He wants you to praise His Holy Name for ever!

Annie Dillard:
Eskimo:"If I did not know about God and sin, would I go to hell?" Priest: "No, not if you did not know." Eskimo: "Then why did you tell me?"

Christians constantly bombard 'non believers' with their own beliefs. "Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,"

Typical response for a priest.
Everyone is born a sinner and destined for hell. Only those that repent and are redeemed may have the opportunity to apply for entrance in to Heaven.
We do not bombard anyone. We only try to save people from themselves. If an elevator door is open (the gateway to Hell) and we do not tell you it is open and you fall, we are failing as servants of God. Wouldn't you want us to try to save you from certain doom?
If the mere fact I care is a bad thing, then I guess I am a bad man.
You probably push old ladies in wheel chairs down stairs. You think that is actually a help? A elderly person, confined to a chair for the balance of their days to have to experience the terror of flying down flights of stairs, out of control, the weight of the chair, the the O2 bottle, as certain as the day is long, to come crashing down upon their brittle bones and crushing them? Nice, real nice. You atheists are all so cruel.

Re: New here

When did I say that?

Because I warned you that God will cast you and your children in to unending torment? Because I think that your indoctrinating your children into God-mocking atheism is the worst form of child abuse?

Hey, if it were up to me, I'd just leave the sinners like you dead and unknowing. God is the one who has decided He must resurrect you all just so He can torment you for all time.

Don't like it? Take it up with God. Don't accuse me of condemning you; I've done no such thing.

Re: New here

You think that because you're using fallacious, human logic. Secularist logic. Jesus said:

Luke 11:23 He that is not with me, is against me: and hee that gathereth not with me, scattereth.
©1611

So there are two alternatives. WITH Jesus or AGAINST Jesus. How to decide which one is you?

..I have my own opinions about heaven, life and God.

When you state your "opinions" they are not the same as Jesus' statements of the facts. Therefore you can not by any stretch of the imagination be WITH Him.

That only leaves one possibility: you are AGAINST Jesus: an anti-Christ.

But that is not the only Word on the subject. God explains it like this:

Mark 9:40 For he that is not against vs, is on our part.
©1611

So you see it's a lose/lose situation (for you). Are you against Jesus? YES! Therefore you are NOT ON GOD'S PART.

Of course He wishes you were, but you reject His invitation and thereby you CHOOSE HELL and SATAN FOREVER. What you experience from day to day is not life. It is form of death.
