Re: Athiest wants to repent, and become Christian.

I didn't have to go through every religion, as most religions are just variants of the main few religions...

So we can read your "everything else" as actually meaning "the few things I've been arsed to skim over".

...Might I enquire as to why you waste your time going on this site...

Even if you think educating others is a waste of time, I don't think the pastors here will appreciate you calling learning about Christianity one.

...just to be rude to people...

Everyone needs a hobby.

...and point out minute flaws in their wording...

When those "minor flaws" change the meaning of what they're trying to convey, then yes, I feel a need to ask for clarification (and not just for my benefit).

...Perhaps you need to learn how people think and talk a bit more, before you start taking everything literally...

So I should listen to what you mean instead of what you say? I make no claims to psychic ability (especially here).

Exodus 22:18 "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live."

...At one point you're talking bout the 'tender age' of 23, implying that you think I'm far too young to have seen enough religions to have decided on Christianity...

As you claim to to have decided on Christianity after finding that "everything else is ridiculous", I was wondering how seriously you could have checked out "everything else". Not very, apparently.

...then you ask me why it took so long...

I asked why it took so long for you to get around to checking out Christianity.

So how goes the Bible reading? What verse of Genesis 1 have you made it to?

He's a typical Jesus-hater. ...

Typical? Hardly, and you know it.

Learning about Christianity is most definitely a useful thing to do, but you're not teaching, you're just being rude.

I didn't 'check out' Christianity earlier, because I was an atheist..... It's not like I went on a wander and think... Hmm I wonder what religion I want to join. No, I was an atheist until I found this website, which convinced me that atheism was not the way to go, then I decided, that to be absolutely sure, I would learn about all the main religions, but they all seemed fake to me, except for this one. What part of that is confusing you?

I'll have to defer to your vast experience of, what, two whole days here? Yeah.

...I didn't 'check out' Christianity earlier, because I was an atheist..... It's not like I went on a wander and think... Hmm I wonder what religion I want to join. No, I was an atheist until I found this website...

If nothing else, you've learned to spell "atheist" correctly here, so there's that.

...I decided, that to be absolutely sure, I would learn about all the main religions...

And what did you learn during those twenty minutes?

Why did you only do the "main" ones? Why should the "true" religion (if it exists) attract the most followers? The Bible itself says that even when handed the Truth™ on a silver platter, with bows, most will reject it.

...but they all seemed fake to me, except for this one....

As I asked before, why? What seems fake to you about the others ones you looked into, that Christianity somehow avoids?

I'm sorry, but after this, I'm not going to respond to you any more. This is about being nice and getting to meet other Christians. If you are just going to criticise everything I say, I would rather not talk to you.

I'm sorry.

Re: Athiest wants to repent, and become Christian.

I'm sorry, but after this, I'm not going to respond to you any more...

2 Timothy 4:2 "Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine."

Jesus is disappoint.

...This is about being nice...

You really aren't getting this at all, are you? READ THE BIBLE, already.

...and getting to meet other Christians...

You'd have to be one first. And that means believing what the Bible says. And that means knowing what the Bible says. And THAT means (ermagerd) actually READING THE BIBLE (o noooeeeeesssss).

...If you are just going to criticise everything I say...

Only the intellectually indefensible or non-Biblical stuff. If you can justify any of the crap coming out of your piehole, please do so.

...I would rather not talk to you...

How about you extend that courtesy to everyone else, too, until you READ THE BIBLE? The True Christians™ have better things to do than run around cleaning up the mess you make when you spew platitudes that have nothing to do with Christ's teachings.

...I'm sorry.

No, you're not.

Neither am I, frankly.

Re: Athiest wants to repent, and become Christian.

Does anyone know if there is a free KJV bible on the amazon kindle store? I tried to find one, but the only free ones were the ESV. I'm currently using my iPad, but it runs out of battery very quickly, and isn't very portable. If there aren't any free versions, I will of course buy one, but just in case, I would like to double-check first.
