Re: Hello there. Some questions.

Alright then.
My name is CryoGenesis. I live in the UK. I don't have a favourite bible quote.

Was that so difficult?

Now, just because I'm a kind and loving Christian, I will answer your questions.

1. What is your view on gay marriage?

Homosexuals are declared abominations by God. He commands us to execute them, and declares that they will not enter Heaven. Therefore, sodomarriage should never be legal, as it encourages the sinful deathstyle.

2. Do you have any affiliation with Westboro Baptist Church and what is your view of them.

No. They are a single-issue group who are liberal on things other than homosexuals, like letting women preach.

3. Are you republican or democrat.

No.

4. What is worse Male homosexuality or Female homosexuality.

Neither. The Bible speaks more to male than female, but sin is sin; sex outside marriage is fornication, and fornication is sin.

5. Does god support abortion.

While God (note the capital 'G'? "God" is a proper noun when referring to God as opposed to "gods", and should be capitalized) is surely the greatest abortionist ever, terminating about 25% of all pregnancies before term (and usually before the woman is aware she's pregnant), He never condones killing Christian babies. The Bible goes on to mention that God knows us while in the womb, which indicates that we must be people in the womb. Therefore, God does not support human-induced abortion.

6. What is the reason for cancer.

It is not for us to ask "why". God is all-knowing and all-powerful. So anything that happens, He knows about and can change. Therefore, anything that happens, from cancer to nuclear war, only happens because He either causes it or chooses to allow it to happen.

For example, if you got anal cancer as a result of your many sodomitious encounters, we wouldn't know if He gave it to you as a punishment, or He gave it to you so you'd turn to Him, or if you got it all by yourself and He just let it happen to punish you, or so you'd turn to Him, or maybe just for a little taste of the Hell you and all nonbelievers will experience for all of eternity when He burns you alive in His Lake of Fire.

My favorite verse is John 3:18.

I am an Atheist.
I am a computer programmer and a multi-millionaire.

"Atheist" is not a proper noun, and should not be capitalized. You may contrast this with "Christian", which is a proper noun and is capitalized.

Even your fellow atheists will tell you this.

One of the earliest signs that a person doesn't really understand what atheism is comes when they spell "atheism" or "atheist" with a capital A in the middle of a sentence. In English, this is only grammatical with proper nouns and thus this signals that the person imagines atheism to a be a proper noun — in other words, some sort of ideology or religion like Christianity or Objectivism.

...

The most creative excuse I've seen for misspelling atheism and atheist is that it's supposed to be a sign of "respect." I've been assured that the person really did understand that atheism is merely an absence of belief in gods, but was convinced that atheism deserved to be treated with the same respect as Christianity and thus should be capitalized just as Christianity is capitalized.

This excuse is so weak that I hardly know where to begin with it. Perhaps it's sufficient to point out that capitalization in English has nothing whatsoever to do with "respect" and everything to do with separating out proper nouns. If a person really does believe that capitalization is done out of "respect," then they don't even comprehend basic English grammar and you should beware of them even more than if they merely didn’t understand atheism.

Re: Hello there. Some questions.

I was never taught to hate god. I never knew who he was until I was around 9-10 years old.

So your parents taught you to hate God.

How is it possible to hate something you don't know exists?

So even though God made you so you know He exists you deny His existence. Sounds not all that friendly.

Romans 1:19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

Re: Hello there. Some questions.

You say, "hate something you don't know exists". As opposed to the True Atheist's* refrain, "hate something that doesn't exist".

So you admit that God exists, and that you're now aware of Him. That's a good start. After all, what greater hatred can there be than pretending someone isn't even real, just a fairy tale or figment of the imagination, a trick of the light?

Now that you know that God exists, do you still hate Him?



* In "True Atheist", the word "atheist" is capitalized because "True Atheist" is a proper noun which describes a particular belief system, being the faith that God does not exist and should therefore be hated, mocked, and ridiculed without mercy, until He weeps uncontrollably. True Atheists use this method in the Pacific Northwest in lieu of a rain dance. What is the wettest part of the nation?

I rest my case.
