I love how it's cool to openly mock Christianity and belittle Christians for their beliefs, but not OK to openly practice it and share your feelings about it (even in public.)

Those who feel the need to belittle Christains for their beliefs are usually the first to cry foul and jump on the "tolerance" bandwagon if someone belittles (for example) the gay community or Muslims.

I'm not saying I'm some devout Christian, but I certainly see the double standard here.

Was only a matter of time before the Christian Victim Complex made its appearance.

Call it what you will, but it's the truth. Christians are the only group that don't receive equal treatment & tolerance from the "equality & tolerance" crowd... and your post is just another example of it.

Gonna be interesting to see you use logic and reasoning in explanation to the Creator to let you enter Heaven. Your blasphemy I just read from you will be hard to explain come judgement day. You see, I can't earn my way into Heaven either. It us only by the blood.....I will continue to pray for those who do not believe.

Why does your god need fear and intimidation to make people to believe in it?

Same as the police: Gotta be punishment for the crime. Me and God are cool though. Same with the po po.

My God gave me salvation as a free gift, after his son took my punishment for me. Some will hear his words, and some will not. Fear and intimidation had nothing to do with it.

Agree, but there still needs to be laws and consequences in nature. Non believers usually fear the consequences and believers love the law.

I am the one who sins, not God. He has given me a free gift if everlasting life thru his son. I have accepted it gladly. I hope you will someday. It is your choice, and I hope The Lord stirs you to accept it. There will be no one to blame but yourself if you do not. I have done what I can for you, I have told you what you need, which The Lord had us to do thru the Great Commission. All I can do now us pray for your soul.

"Logic" and "reason" are just as fallible as books handed down from our ancestors. I don't claim to be a Christian, or anything more than an agnostic, but if you think that the little syllogisms that man builds inside his own head are somehow superior to the Bible, Talmud, or Koran, then I'm afraid you're as mistaken as any other worshipper at any other false idol.

I did the church thing for 18 years.

Never once felt anything. Finally gave up.

I for one can't believe in a god that automatically condemns > 2/3 of the world's population to hell because they didn't win the geographic lottery and be born into a christian nation.

Everyone is statistically an atheist. Self labeled atheists just go one god further.

If you can understand why you don't believe in Thor, Odin, Loki, Zeus, Brahma, or any of the other thousands of gods that preceded Yahweh, you'll know why atheist / agnostics don't believe in Christianity or it's god(s).

Did McNeese State really put 50 on USF?

If so, I may need to rethink this whole "faith" thing.

Hahahaha. [sarcasm]Yeah, right.[/sarcasm]. Gays and other groups still have a long way to go to get to a level equal to the equal treatment & tolerance that Christians get.

It won't be necessary. After I die, I cease to exist.

There are consequences. The strong survive and the weak die. It's called natural selection and it's been going on for several billion years.

The Great-One-eyed-Spaghetti-Monster-in-the-Sky says you better worship him or face eternal damnation. That's just as believable as your goobledygook.

The one disappointment that I have is that you won't realize how wrong you are when the time comes because you'll be an inert blob of matter.
