Daily Atheist Devotional #194 (Atheist Discrimination Edition)

*****ie thinks YOU are condemned also, because her sect is the one true sect, all others are false.  Unless you are her kind of Christian, you burn with us, according to her - what gives you the right to put words into my mouth.  I have never said such a thing.

Yes.  Yes you have.  Whenever a "Christian" says or does something you dislike, you pull out the
"true Christian" fallacy.  Let's test you, shall we?

Can a "True Christian"...
... Allow Homosexual Marraige in their church?
... Be "Pro-Choice"?
... Accept evolution to be true?
... Accept the Flood as alagorical (not literal)?
... Adam and Eve as alagorical (not literal)?
... Beleive that Jesus is not God?
... Not believe in a literal Hell?
... Believe or not believe anything you don't?

"No" to any question above proves my point.  If there are none, you must believe lying is OK.

Oh Wait...


Just because you use to go to Church and you have read that Bible does not make you an expert on what I believe or do not believe.  You said that you use to be a Jehovah Witness.  Being a Jehovah Witness will send you to HELL as will a Hindu or Muslim or any other "Religion" that leaves Christ out of the picture.

Here we are.  She tells us JW's, which are a Christian sect, are not "True Christians" and hell bound.  I rest my case.

I prefer the KJV but if you want to read out of the NKJV or NIV that is your choice as long as you understand Christ and what Christ did for us.  I think that if you use other verisons than KJV you need to reference them against KJV.  That is my opinion.  I never said you would go to HELL for reading NKJV of NIV

I have read the Bible front to back in 6 different translations, one of them the KJV, one NIV.  When studying particular issues, I've had up to 12 versions on my desk at one time, open to the same scripture.  The "Understanding" you have that Atheists don't is being able to ignore the "wrong" scriptures, or changing the ones you don't like to mean the exact opposite of what they say.

When did I ever say you said anything about going to Hell for reading NKJV or NIV?  Please, work on your reading comprehension and memory.

Don't worry about responding (Not that you'll read this far before you reply) as I have better walls to bang my head against than you.

Discerning, Not Condemning

“Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church."
— Ephesians 4:15


It seems as though every nonbeliever knows Matthew 7:1: "Do not judge others, and you will not be judged." Generally, it goes something like this: The Christian approaches a compromising Christian or a nonbeliever and talks about his or her need for Christ. At some point, the Christian will say that a certain thing is a sin. The other person will respond, "Who are you to judge me? Doesn't the Bible itself say, 'Judge not, lest you be judged'? "

So what does this verse mean? Is Jesus suggesting that we are never to speak truthfully to someone, even if what he or she is doing is wrong? Is that indeed judgmental? Does this mean that Christians are never to be critical or make an evaluation? What did Jesus mean when He said, "Judge not, that you be not judged"?

Some people believe that to be a real Christian, you must love and accept everyone. You must be tolerant of everything and never register an opinion. But is that what a Christian is? No, it isn't. That assumption actually contradicts what we read in other passages of the Bible.

People often say that Jesus was a great humanitarian, loving and caring and sharing. He was those things, but Jesus also was a revolutionary. Jesus confronted people. He had some choice words for the Pharisees, calling them vipers and hypocrites and dead men walking. When confrontation was necessary, Jesus would speak the truth to a person.

We must do the same, but we need to do so lovingly. As Ephesians 4:15 says, "Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church." That is what we do with those we love. We should be discerning, but not condemning.

I do not give a rats ass what you have a degree in.  Apparently you were not understanding what you were taught or maybe you were being taught the WRONG thing!!  Because if anyone *****ads the Bible does not get the TRUE meaning out of the Bible then they are nothing more than a PURE IDIOT!!  So guess what HONEY - you are an IDIOT!!

When I said that I found it funny.....I was speaking to him and about him.  I was not referring to his friend.  I find it funny that a "so called" atheist choose to use God as a mean to vent his anger.  I find it funny that a "so called" atheist spends more time talking about God when they do not even believe in him.  I find it funny that a "so called" atheist will cry out to the God they do not believe in when something bad happens in their life.

So like I said b4------ U DO NOT UNDERSTAND ME ANY MORE THAN YOU UNDERSTAND THE GREATEST BOOK OF ALL CALLED THE BIBLE!!

I would not be telling people that I have a degree in anything because that makes you look STUPID or the college you came from look STUPID for giving you the degree in the first place.

I would pray for God to have mercy on your soul but I already know that because you have rejected him.....you will go straight to HELL!!  If you did get a "so called" degree then you should already know that HUH??

I find far more comfort in the thought at each man's evil is his and his alone - well good for you!!  nothing I can say will change your mind.  you have made it clear that you do not like the facts of the Bible. 

The Bible is full of GREAT women.  Not sure how you missed that if you have read and reread the Bible.  Just because women are not to lead the Church does not mean they are not important. 

I can not help that being gay is also wrong.  What good does it do this world to be gay?  Gay people can not populate this word can they?  So tell me what good does it do this world to be gay?  Sure gay people are people and they can be nice, funny and loving people but being gay is wrong.  What if the entire world were gay.....how long do you think we would survive?  Not long since gay people are not create life together. 

You picked the love on this world over the love of God and you decided to blame your college experience on this.  Step up to the plate and own your choice.  YOU and YOU alone turned your back on GOd and his word.  YOU and YOU alone will have to answer for that at your judgement day.

God is God.  The Old Testament God is the same as the New Testament God. 

Malachi.3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not
 

You deleted a previous post to me because you said that u care about what Terri, Mary L and Lady L think of you.....NEWS FLASH for ya....They are not God and it does not matter what they think of you.  Only what God thinks of you.  They will not get you into Heaven.

Besides if you really cared what they thought of you then you would not speak of God in the manner in which you do.  You would also not use the language you use. 

No wonder you gave up on God.  You can not even take a stand for your own words.  U had to go an delete them like some kind of coward.  U really do need to take some time to think about who you are and what you expect to get out of this life and where you want to go when you die.

Any time you would like to talk I would be happy to listen to you.  I forgive you for what you said about me.  No hard feeling on my part.  I just want you to realize your lost condition.  Lets talk ok...

The Bible has no mistakes.  No error.  You have to have an ear to hear the words of the Bible.  Why don't you get into the Bible and find the answers to these questions yourself?  See this is the problem with you and so many others.  You rely on others to tell you what the Bible says instead of learning it for yourself.

Try reading the Bible!!  If you do not understand what you read then ask someone to help you but do not ask someone to do the work for you.

I am not having it both ways.  Until now no one has ever asked me about children and/or retarded people.  So I am not having it both ways.  Read my reply to you.  I quoted scripture to you there that might give you a hint where to look for your answers.

please show me one contradict in the Bible..please!!

I am sorry that you feel that the Bible has contradictions and I am also sorry that u think man included parts of the Bible.  Yes a man may have wrote the Bible BUT he was inspired by God himself.  So that means God wrote the Bible.

I set no limits for God.  God has rules and we must abide by them.  So when you do not agree with something in the Bible you just chalk it up as a contradiction or a man written thing??  WOW how crazy is that.  No wonder you believe the way you do.  You get to pick and choose what in the Bible is real according to u. 

If I believed as you do....I would be Atheist!!  If I can not stand firm on the promises of the Bible then what good is it?  UR way of thinking is

so apparently u do not have a strong enough faith in God.  How sad is that.

u really need to think about ur words.  if u can give up that easily then u were never saved to begin with.

instead of giving up...why not try to learn a little.  God is a VERY loving God and if you will understand him u will see that he is WORTH standing frim on him and his promises.

see I knew u and Terry both were the real troll on this board.  coming in here pretending to believe in God when all u were doing was making God and the Bible look unworthly.

I stand firm in my beliefs and I stand firm on the promises of the Bible.

midewest guy....just because u lost weight does not make your face any prettier.  if u r born ugly...u pretty much stay ugly.

i probably would not post a picture of myself either if I was not attractive.  i fell bad for you.

maybe u can save up some money and get some type of face sugery.  but then again not sure that would help either.

oh by the way....being ulgy is not a sin.  so you do not have to repent from that.  but if you will allow it...God will still love you!!

Oh I guess Karen and the other so called "Christians" just loved this one right??

See if you buddy up and hang with swine and never show them what the Bible truly says all you will ever do is help them get that much closer to Hell.

Enjoy this life.....

Oh my hell...literally.

If anyone was at the cros roads of wondering about following Jesus or if Jesus really did love and die for us sinners, after reading *****ie's words, they would turn and run as fast as they could from christian beliefs. For someone who claims to be a Jesus follower, she is amazing at turning people away from Him. You would figure that christians would actually be one both in heart and by example. 

I have never been so disgusted by so called christian behavior or preaching.  She can single handedly take the credit for getting me off the fence and not wanting anything to do with her Jesus. She totally turned me off of Him. Ironic. Her intolerant ignorance makes athiesm seem better and better.  Somebody give her an extra Mcbuck.

You know what I believe in? Using proper punctuation. And spelling words correctly so posts will be readable.

You apparently don't...but *we're* the ignorant ones? Huh. Go figure!

She is NOT being "Tolerable" (I think you mean "tolerant", apparently THAT concept is a difficult one.) *****ie is deliberately attacking other people's belief's and stating that HERS and HERS ALONE are the only valid ones. That is NOT SANE.

Other religions are based on their own sacred texts. Leave them alone. They are equally as valid as yours.

No one is saying YOU can't believe what YOU want. Just don't telling us YOUR WAY is the ONLY WAY, and stating that as a fact. It's not a fact, it's a BELIEF. You can have your own beliefs, not your own facts.
 
The only thing I'm not tolerant of is intolerance, and you all (just quoting you, Cupcake) seem to have it in spades.

 Oh, ******g excuse me right to god damn hell and back "Miss I just joined the board a ******g week ago and I know ******g everything". Excuse me for not waiting for permission from yet another self appointed purveyor of the ******g christly truth and the light and the way.

You need to take your wagging finer, jam it up your ass, spin yourself around and head your arrogant and stupid self in the other direction.

The "she" in question is the single most intolerant poster on this entire ******g forum. She is stupid, stupid, stupid, and the little bit of her that isn't stupid is just plain old evil. 

god's words ARE you words you numpty. They were written by women fearing men. They were written for control, power, profit and gain. They exemplify all that is vile and corrupt in xianity because they were written by vile and corrupt xians, and are followed today by equally stupid, vile and corrupt fools such as yourself.

So excuse me you ignorant **** while I back the **** up so you can get past me to leave this post. Take your sanctimonious, foolish ass the **** out of a conversation in which you have no place.
