Topic: Anti-Christians.

Showtime,



1. Just call me Showtime, please...
2. I don't care enough to prove it...
3. Speaking of telling me to prove it, don't tell me what to do...
4. Jesus said that if you are good to yer fellow man, you will go to heaven when you die (well, his version was longer, but you get the gist), knowing that, if there is a hell i'm not worried...
5. Let me reitterate (or however it's spelled): If i spend my time worrying about all of this doom and gloom bullshit (sorry, that's the way i feel about it), i'm never gonna get off my ass, write my book, draw my comics, form my band, win the heart of the woman i love, and all sorts of other stuff i wanna accomplish before i turn 22!!

-If you accept Jesus you can laugh past the black herse. Right now you close your eyes and pretend like your immortal. I don't worry either but atleast I acknwoledge there is one....I took the time to study.... You have to be willing to seek-which most people are not.

6. NO ONE'S (not even mine) beliefs are "based on fact"... it all has to do with what you personally believe... calling yer beliefs or views "facts" or (like my father does) "the voice of reason" is one of the most pompous, arrogant things to say... buh-bye and peace, man

-The proof of the Bible is what seperates Christianity from all the rest of the religions. And I am sure you nothing about the proofs of the Bible. Believing that there is no hell based off no facts is Blind Faith.

 

I know you said you did not want the answer but I think it would help people understand alot better if I did. I'll make it general though. It would be selfish of me to let someone to die of a disease, when I knew the cure. Or it would be selfish of me let someone drowned as I am standing right off shore.

I have a free gift to share to everyone and it would be selfish of me to share it with no one. Though it is up to that person I share it with to accept or reject that free gift-the gift of salvation.

again like Jesus said...

Mark 16:15 - And he said to them, Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

 

Jesus-Man,

1. I don't believe I'm immortal, I just wanna get the stuff that matters t' me accomplished before i turn 22 (i kinda made a pact wif myself)
2. Just 'cuz somethings in a book, doesn't make it fact...
3. It's not that i have "blind faith", it's that i have... NO faith...
4. Don'cha think $10 is too much for a pack of chicken strips!? I mean, i loooves my chicken strips, but FrankZappa-damn and Jesus Christopher! that's too much for anything food-related if you ask me!
5. You did it again... yer belief's are not facts, they are yer beliefs... my beliefs aren't facts, they are my beliefs... Pat Robertson's beleifs are not facts, they are... well, insane actually, but he doesn't count!
6. In closing, here is one of my favorite quotes:

"A man is accepted into a church for what he believes and he is turned out for what he knows." - Mark Twain

buh-bye and peace, man...

 

Why not, rather than spend all your time quoting scriptures at people, live your life by example, and show people the good life rather than trying to force them to accept your views? I think you would have a much better success rate.

Was it not Tertullian, one of the church fathers, who converted to christanity after attending the gladiatorial games and watching Christians being thrown to the lions, choosing death over renouncing their faith.

 

I would like to respond to the other ones.... but I think #5 is the most important right now.

IS THERE A GOD?
-yes
HOW DO YOU KNOW THERE IS A GOD?
-Because the Bible says
HOW DO YOU KNOW THE BIBLE IS TRUE?
-It was inspired by God
HOW DO YOU KNOW THE BIBLE WAS INSPIRED BY GOD?
-Prophetic, Archaeologic, and Scientific proof aka Something you probably never looked into because you refuse to seek the truth

 

I try to live by the example of Christ and the real good life is through Jesus Christ. I show this through what Jesus and the Bible says. "Force people" ...um am I holding a gun to your head??? I can tell you about Christ over and over and you can deny him till you die. No one can make you believe. You make the choice. But they can lead you to believe.

 

JesusFriedForU2,

It's NOT that i "refuse to seek the 'truth'"... i just don't care for it... it honestly doesn't seem all that impo'tant to me... as long as I'm playin' my guitar, makin' people laugh, and makin' love to the woman I love, I'm fine with my life...

Now... on to more impo'tant issues...

I personally think... that chicken strips should cost about $4.99... i think that is more than enough for something as wondeful and delish as chicken strips... what do you think...?

 

Ignorance at it's finest, its the paradox that answers itself. The fiction goes around in their minds and proves itself

How do you know that any of this is true? After all, this is the word of humans, and humans can lie.

 

As regards my faith I refuse to be held accountable for the acts of extremists who claim they act in the name of god. For in truth, they are doing no good. And that is fact. standing on roadsides screaming at innocent women telling them they are wrong when in fact those who scream are wrong for judging in the first place. denying people the right to marriage outside of the house of god because it's not "natural". who are these people to determine what is natural in the eyes of god? he created all creatures alike...let him be the judge of who is "wrong" and who is "right" and i guarantee it would be those who were decent people all their lives and strove to live free of ignorance.




To act upon the "teachings" of god is to be a decent person. Loving, self-sacrificing and true to his will and testament. I believe that to truly be a Christian you strive to please god by being a good person. I mean truly good. Not nice…because god like his children can see a fool and a liar for what they are. And what we do to the least of his brothers we do to him. Therefore by serving god, we are in fact serving you.



To be decent and true to him, we must also be decent and true to our brothers and sisters alike. Whether they are of different race, or religion or sexual preference.





I believe these basic human principals. Treat others, as you would like to be treated. Judge not lest ye be judged etc. and for the majority, we as people, as non-believers and believers alike, we as people have achieved this.





But as Christians, we strive to be decent that is what we do and have tried to do for many years. And it is silly to be held accountable for those who have jaded you as non-believers.





But please don’t think I speak with rancour.



But I suggest that if anyone’s doubt and disdain derives from the acts of people…let it lie with the people not with the scapegoat they attach their acts to.



We as people behave without decency or care for our fellow man.



Influence merely comes from the want of influence and comfort of excuses.





I know the acts of few can jade you from the acts as many but we are not all to be tarnished with the same brush.





i am a christian but i do not agree with hating homosexuals or blacks [i don't know if that term is politically correct it has raised some eyebrows in the past] or even those of another faith. i believe in respect for our fellow man and i believe that those who act in hate cannot be acting out the will of god because i do not believe him to be a being of hate. and i know that sounds foolish as it is apparently stated in the bible itself that homosexuals are a sin but like a lot of christians i do not accept that as truth but mere mishandeling of truth by people.


written down it does sound silly to be honest:& and might make me sound like a very bad christian because my only cold feelings would lie with those who think they have the right to judge a belief and others do not.



i promise we're not all nut jobs some of us actually don't like hatred and prejudice and try ourr best to abolish it within us and our surroundings.












lol it does seem like a bit of a paradox...i think most would simply answer...i know the bible is true to"me" because i "believe" it to be true. but thats just me




now ill go back n read the rest of the posts i onlygot to read about three pages so sorry if this is a bit out of sync with the rest of everyones posts.



dia libh go léir.

 

Well mr. Jesus Hater. I found your writing, well, stupid. If it is your work I would just not admit to it if I were you. First off, there were witnesses to Jesus being alive and performing miracles. No different than someone recording down on paper what hapened in The Civil War. You can believe it or not, noone will force it on you. You claim we as Christians force our faith and our God on you. Well, as mentioned before I do not see anyone putting a gun to your head and making you choose. As a matter of fact, did anyone force you into this thread and force you to complain about something you don't even understand? That's right, I said you don't even understand Christianity. Case in point:

No, He never said that. You can be good all you want, it wont get you inot Heaven. Perhaps if you are going to come in here and make fun of things, you might want to pick up a Bible and educate yourself on it.

Then why are you here? Why are you still replying? It seems to me you have made your choice, so why stick around? Perhaps you are just seeking attention.

You are right there, my beliefs are not based on facts. My beliefs are based on faith. However, my faith is strengthend by facts and evidence that can not be refuted. Again, this would be a good time for you to educate yourself on Biblical history.

Thanks for you time.
God - 1
Satan - 0

 

Great job, and I to wish some of these people took the time to read the bible before that responded to it.

 

Yes, who would seek God in one's life when you can center your life on movies and comics. Those are really important things that will last for all eternity. The day will come when many will stand before God and He will tell them, "Depart from me I never knew you." So many, will be unprepared.
What a terrible day of horror it will be, for those who do not know God.

 

Bandit-bo-fandit,

1. I am not a "Jesus-hater", i happen to have a lot of respect for him and plan on writing a comic book about him... however, i don't think he was the son of god nor did he ever say he was
2. It is slightly different than recording the civil war... Jesus was 2000 years ago, the civil war was 2 century's ago...
3. True, I do believe a lot Christians force their faith... but I didn't say any of that here... I said JesusDiedForU was forcing his faith... my comments were amed at an individual...
4. I was raised Christian... I know everything it's about...
5. "Why am I still replying?" Because I don't think Jesus-Freak has fully grasped what I meant the first time i replied... plus I looove a good debate...
6. "God-1 Satan-0"... where the hell did that come from? if i don't believe in god how can i be in league with Satan? and yer calling me "uneducated"...

campbell'schoice,

I'm sorry if dreams piss you off so much... you see after I dropped out of Christianity I became a Buddhist... now, Buddhism is the search for inner-peace... MY inner-peace told me "I would never be happy until I freed my self of all religion, stopped thinking about death, and tried to accomplish all my dreams"... so for me, that will be heaven...

and maybe you didn't read any of my other posts, but when you insulted me for cherishing my dreams, you insulted my feelings for the woman I love... say whatever the fuck you want about my "faith", political views, or taste in music... but don't step on my feelings for her... got that?!

*ahem* buh-bye and peace, man...

 

Free yourself from buddhism.

Deny what you see in the world around you (death). In other words, lie to yourself.

What are your dreams?

 

Kharakov-esque,

1. Not just Buddhism, but all religion...
2. I'm not lying to myself... i know damn good and well I'm gonna die one day... i just feel if i think about it too much i won't ever get anything done...
3. My dreams are becoming a writer/film-maker/comic-writer/political humorists and winning the heart of the woman I love...
4. How do you feel... about the chicken strips issue? I think $10 is way too much, $4.99 would be much more suitable, don'cha think?

 

Anyone who was practicing real Christianity (Meaning.. that which Christ taught) would know that Jesus defeated, overturned and dismissed 'All Religion'.


Religion can now be put away. Christ fulfilled Religion.

Why do Buddhists keep dropping in to 'explain' that they have found something 'Superior' to Religion - then accuse Jesus of teaching religion (and denying Jesus overcame Religion)?

To all the Buddhists in here who want to remind us the they have 'Disavowed Religion" then please sit down, take a number and while you waiting to repeat 'Your' belief, you can meditate on the fact that Jesus WAS AHEAD OF YOU BY AT LEAST 2000 YEARS.

 

I see the progression.

I see, you don't want to dwell on it. Truly, doing anything "too much" eliminates progress in the other things you do not do .

Good for you.

I have not seen chicken strips for $10, except in those sit down eat restaraunts, which I got to when someone takes me out. You can get a 5 piece at Wendy's for $.99 (not quite the chicken strip basket) although I recommend the Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger for $.99. I think the chicken strip basket at Dairy Queen is $4.99, although it might be more now. It comes with fries, toast, chicken strips (of course), and country gravy. Good stuff.

But I digress... Yeah, $10.00 is a bit high for chicken strips, however, i feel that 7.99 is not a bad price if you are in a mid to upper class restaurant. Denny's should offer a chicken strip meal for 6.99, just because they are awesome, and everyone else can do whatever they want. Not that I don't care about other restaurants, it's just that Denny's is soooo awesome. If I had a hero that was a restaurant, it would be Denny's, although Wendy's is right up there. Ok, maybe I love all restaraunts, but in different ways.

 

Brocktoon,

I didn't say "I had found something better"... what I've found works best for me and probly no-one else...

when i "found my answer", i didn't go "Aww sweet! Now i'm better than all the Christians and Muslims! My way is the best and everyone should know of it! I AM BETTER THAN RELIGION!!"... i simply said, "Wooowww... now maybe I can finally be happy"

I don't care what the other Buddhists say, what I found was never meant to be "superior to religion"... it's just the life-style that works best for me... buh-bye and peace, man...

 

Well actually, Kharakov, i was talking about store-bought chicken strips... specifically Tyson chicken strips (my preferred brand) which cost $9.99... i think a more suitable price would be $4.99...

And by the way... I looove Wendy's Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers! I usually order 3 of 'em (w/ ketchup and mayo only) and a baked potatoe with bacon and cheese... but no drink... i never get drinks at fast food joints... don't like ice meltin' in my soda... that's my typical meal at Wendy's!

well of course the lord god created me, and then I pulled a rib out of my chest, drew a woman, and she magically appeared!!!!!!!!!


there are no facts, you just blindly believe what you want to, and what you were taught by your parents.
