Greetings from an atheist

[Ravenmann]

Greetings, dear Christians,

First things first, I am Ravenmann and I come from Europe. I am a young man. I'm an atheist.


Before I proceed any further with this introduction, I want to say that I am not here to troll, fight or verbally assault faithful of this forum in any way, shape or form. I am open to getting into civil discussions.


Let's proceed now.


I joined this forum to interact with you guys, share knowledge, facts, info and other stuff.


Now, believe it or not, I most probably agree more with you then any atheist out there. How come? I find it hard to enjoy the company of other atheists because I hold mostly conservative views. For example, I am pro life and anti LGBT.


I admire your Zeal. I have seen many Christian communities water down and start accepting and even proclaiming LGBT as something normal, when it is clear that it's not normal.


I hope we can get along and learn from each other. Thanks for reading.


Ravenmann

Re: Greetings from an atheist

I find your hubris off putting, dear. If you think we can learn something from you that Jesus Christ thy Lord simply forgot to put in His autobiography, you'll have a very difficult time here. If however, you'd like to learn from us, namely why Salvation is not gained through social stagnation but through Belief in Christ as LORD, then we shall get along smashingly!

Hello Raven

Why are you so quick to point out your aversion to lgbt persons who can easily find Jesus if they fall on their face in front of Him? Are you harboring deep secrets in your breast? I am not defending sin but I work tirelessly with homers every day. I recognize homer tendencies a mile away.

By the way, how old are you?

So what? If you think like that because of some severely fvcked-up logic and/or willful ignorance, it's still not any good to them.


If you believe that because some thousands of years-old book with giants, unicorns, magic and fairies tells you to, then maybe you'd have an "in" here.

Greetings, dear Christians,

Good morning, young man. "Let's proceed now". Very good! From this moment onward, you must realize that Landover Baptist Church is God's Favorite Church and that what you learn here is for your benefit. We are a strict, "no nonsense" group of Godly believers and followers of the Lord Jesus Christ. And that means we have no time for the devil and his heretics, including those who open accounts here just to try to push their demonic agendas on our Godly site.


But since you want to learn from us, I suggest that you study this Bible verse (from the King James Bible, 1611) very carefully:


Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."


And, now, this:


John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."


And, this, too:


Revelation 21:8 "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."


"Let's proceed now". Your next step is to apply those verses to your wretched, sinful, God-denying life, and to realize that you will be spending your eternity (all of it!) in HELL for rejecting the Lord Jesus Christ! That can be changed, only, if you call upon the Name of the Lord and admit that you are a disgusting sinner who needs Salvation through the Blood of the Lamb.


I'll leave it with you, my young friend, to figure out. You must connect the dots and apply this to your life. I'm afraid I can't paint a rosy picture for you. Facts are facts, and the Holy Bible is full of them. Turn, or burn!


Sincerely,
Isabella W.

By saying that we can exchange knowledge, I meant the following:


I have read lots and lots of stuff about religion and occultism, and since you have an entire subforum dedicated to those esoteric and occultistic religions, I figured it would be great to contribute and spill some information about wicca, witchcraft, satanism and alike.

If by harbouring deep secrets you mean I had gay experiences or something, no I don't have any deep secrets and I am 100% straight.



I don't really hate them but I find the whole idea of their "community" retarded. I don't mind what two grown adults do in their bedroom, but when they take it out in the streets in the form of parades, it's everybody's problem.


I don't want to say my exact age, but I am old enough for this forum.

Thanks for the verses. I actually plan on reading the bible. I cannot really go in depth of any discussion about Christianity with well versed christians without reading it. Also, I tehnically never "rejected Jesus Christ". I was never a Christian. I rejected Islam and became an atheist.

I understand what you are saying.


I'm really bewildered that an atheist is a regular here though.
Also, how do people get those badges next to their username and avatar?

You are welcome to contribute your thoughts to any thread on these forums, but you may not start a new thread anywhere but here, which you already did, so that's it for that. Anyway, please provide the appropriate Bible Verses to support whatever contributions you make. We love to see how the LORD works through His various creatures! You can find an online version HERE.

Young man, you must understand this: If you have not accepted the Grace of God's Love, as given to mankind through the sacrifice of God's only son, the Lord Jesus Christ, then, in effect, you have rejected Him. You have heard the glorious Gospel message many times, no doubt. And by not accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior, forsaking all other gods, then you have pushed Jesus away. That is REJECTION. And to reject Jesus as Savior means you are headed straight for HELL, for all of eternity, which is the choice that you have accepted. And once you are there, you will never have another chance to escape. Do you really want to have fire shooting through your eye sockets forever? Think of the horrors of the poor people who were trapped in the towers in New York on 9/11, and then realize that that is exactly what you will be facing in Hell, except it is forever with no chance of escape, no relief, no pause.


As for not revealing your age, what is the big deal about that? How can we be sure that you are of an age that is allowed for this site? Surely, if you have nothing to hide, then telling us your age should not be an issue. For goodness sake, I am 84 and I don't care who knows!


As for your offer to "spill some information" about the devil's worship practices, I think you will find we are not interested. We've heard it all before, and we have no time in anything that glorifies Satan. We are here to talk about JESUS and to study the King James Bible, 1611. Is that understood?

Isabella W.

I understand your words, but it's hard to believe in something like that when each and every religion claims that they are the true religion. If I had any legit evidence to look on and review, maybe i'd accept Christianity.


Also, you are really 84 years old? That's odd. This is probably the first forum I encountered that has seniors on it. I'm sure you led a fufilling life and I hope that health serves you well.

Raven,


I've heard it all before.


Spaghetti is straight, too, until you get it hot enough.

Why are you assuming i'm gay though? I'm an atheist, but not a queer.

You're not allowed to make new threads because the Department of Faith is still working on your investigation. For our own sake, Jesus commands us to rebuke the unbeliever (2nd Timothy 4:2), and shun those who refuse to kowtow unto His Divine Authority (Romans 16:17; 1st Corinthians 10:20). You're like the spiritual equivalent to the child with the measles, your limitations are necessary for the sake of others who come here to Seek the Truth(tm).

Re: Greetings from an atheist

I have read lots and lots of stuff about religion and occultism, and since you have an entire subforum dedicated to those esoteric and occultistic religions, I figured it would be great to contribute and spill some information about wicca, witchcraft, satanism and alike.

As long as you agree to agree with us that followers of all of the above will go to Hell, we're OK with that.

Thanks for the verses. I actually plan on reading the bible. I cannot really go in depth of any discussion about Christianity with well versed christians without reading it.

That is great news indeed. It's really worth reading, even if just to see what the fuss is all about. Interestingly, if you do follow through, you'll achieve more than many self-proclaimed "Christians" who live their lives without reading the Bible but just believing stuff they think it should say. Needless to say, when people like that stumble upon our forum, they are rather surprised and often deeply offended.

I'm really bewildered that an atheist is a regular here though.

Mr. not-so-much, despite being a hellbound atheist, knows the Bible much better than the self-proclaimed Christians I mentioned. That means, there's still a shred of hope for his Salvation.

I was never a Christian. I rejected Islam and became an atheist.

If I may ask, what were the reasons why you rejected Islam?

Also, how do people get those badges next to their username and avatar?

Oh, don't worry about that - keep posting, and you'll get what you'll deserve.

You just joined, dear. What you say now does sound nice, but let's wait and see if you really worth the trouble. Nothing personal, it's just that we get a lot of hit-and-run posters around here.

Re: Greetings from an atheist

Why are you assuming i'm gay though? I'm an atheist, but not a queer.

The True Christian(TM) has gifts of the Spirit, including discernment. You have given me no reason to declare you a straight person. You have no wife, apparently; you have not mentioned a gun collection. You haven't discussed hunting or fishing or siring sons like a hopeful hetero male would do, no matter how young.


And we don't insult the gaywise here. We love them and pray for them. I know personally the joy they can bring. That's why it's not necessary to hide from us even your darkest sin.
