It's really unfortunate that the list of powers granted by the almighty does not include that of rational thought.

And we should also remember those moving words of Jesus, "oh **** this hurts".

No-one who knows my case can claim to be an atheist, as I'm proof to snap anyone out of atheism.

I am still an atheist.
Others have affirmed their atheism. Your claim is bunk. Can you explain in terms of the the commandments your behaviour on this thread. |

Oh, my child.........
Dear Ali -
Look, I know your heart is in the right place. You're trying your best to stand up for me. That's great, but I really don't need the help. Your saved by faith, not works. Remember? Also, please stop representing me as some kind of selfish, childish, hateful, wrathful ogre, hellbent on destroying my creations. I love ALL my children and creations. (As you well know, I am the God of Love.) Also, remember, when you take upon yourself to represent me, lashing out at people mercilessly with wrath in a less then humble spirit, then that's what people think about me! (Think about Moses striking the rock! No promised land for him.) The humble will be raised up. The proud, brought down. (Don't act so proud, your no more, or less, "special" than anyone else.) He who is first now, will be last, later. (Don't pretend as if you will be the first then, or that you're the first to confess belief in me.) Do not judge others, so that you will not be judged. (For with the judgement you judge others, you shall be judged.) Now, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, by the power of His Blood and The Holy Spirit, I tell you: Be kind to all my creations. (Also, do not blaspheme my Spirit of Holiness.) Now, back to the previously scheduled debate. GOD (H.F., J.C., H.S.) (Incidentally, the Ten Commandments are neither "the elixir" of, or "source" of life. "I AM".) |

You're not atheists: you're a bunch of comedians!

That's simply uniformed. Lenny Bruce, George Carlin, Sam Kennison and many others all were great comedians commenting on the absurdity of the human condition. Comedy is an art through which we see reflections of ourselves.
Frankly Chris Rock (another great) provides more thought provoking comments in his act than you have in your entire posting history. |
