Re: Hello. Discriminated atheist here.

Then please quote the person you are aiming to contact. Following the trend of your most eloquently worded metaphor earlier: You wouldn't simply walk into a debate halfway through, spew a few sentences, and assume everyone knew who you were addressing.

Duly noted.

If you're not an atheist, how do you identify?

Psalm 14:1- “The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God.’”
I think that tidies up this argument rather nicely, no?

Hello RespectfulOutsider.

That is not what Psalms 14:1 says so it does not tidy anything up. Here is what is says:

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.

You should also read Revelation 22:19 it says:

And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

You should be more careful. Jesus is watching you.

Thank you.

Oh, that's my favorite verse!
I should have quoted that earlier, Sister Mary Etheldreda said I should quote scripture a little more. She has such wonderful advice!

1 John 4:16 - And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

Re: Hello. Discriminated atheist here.

So is your entire rant rendered null and void by the fact I am not an atheist?

You sure sound like one. But what does it matter? Without the God of the Bible, you might as well be a pick axe murderer, a con man who devours widows' savings, or one who sucks off stray poodles. Your end is hell all the same.

Re: Hello. Discriminated atheist here.

Wait you guys are against homosexuals? Why? The Bible states that if a man is caught for adultery he should be stoned to death, but recent statements from the church have claimed this is perhaps a little harsh and should be revised. So explain how it's one rule for one and one for another.

Yes.

...recent statements from the church have claimed this is perhaps a little harsh and should be revised...

What church? Not this one.

...So explain how it's one rule for one and one for another.

It's not. Landover cannot be held responsible for those who choose to ignore what the Bible clearly states (like you).

Re: Hello. Discriminated atheist here.

I realize as a guest here it is not my place to correct this young man so instead I would like to ask him to look at the situation in a different light.

When you visit a person's home you don't walk in with boots covered in fecal matter and leave stains all over the carpet. You take your boots off at the door. When atheists come barging into these forums wearing sin covered boots it's perfectly reasonable for the godly folk here to ask them to leave and then throw them out if they refuse.

It's also incredibly insensitive, not to mention grammatically and factually incorrect to call oneself a "Discriminated atheist" among folk who actually have been persecuted and discriminated against for so long by non-believers such as you and I.

Well said, dear. I have a poll regarding this very issue HERE. I'd be interested in an honest atheist opinion. I know that sounds oxymoronic, but it seems you are the exception to the rule, and are not only honest, but civilized for an atheist. It's a rare combination. I hope you stick around. I'm sure some of our scientists would be interested in how your brain works as well.

Re: Hello. Discriminated atheist here.

Thank you Mary I have added my opinion to the other thread. Now I'm off to read some more of the King James Bible.

What 'Church'? The 'Church' of "fluffy bunny, feel good, the wind changed direction so did I'?

The KJV has not changed in hundreds of years, nor will it change a it is the Perfect Word of God(r).
This is pretty clear, if you ask me.

Genesis 19:24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
Genesis 19:25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.

Leviticus 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

Leviticus 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

Deuteronomy 23:17 There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel.

1st Kings 14:24 And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.

Isaiah 3:8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
Isaiah 3:9The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.

Matthew 19:4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
Matthew 19:5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
Matthew 19:6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

Romans 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
Romans 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
Romans 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
Romans 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

1st Corinthians 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

1st Timothy 1:9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
1st Timothy 1:10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;

2 Peter 2:6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;
2 Peter 2:7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
2 Peter 2:8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds; )

Jude 1:7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
Jude 1:8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.

Deuteronomy 22:5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.
