Request from a Christian.

Yay!!
I'm "normal"!!!!



Yea again those are my beliefs I posted them because I was asking for personal experiences so I opened up first. 
Why the Bible?
Why not some other book? What's special about the Bible?

And why do you think what you think about the Bible?


Chronologically, you got convinced by your parents that the christian belief has some truth to it.
Crap that happened to you then reinforced that belief...

The Facts are that all you've witnessed was just people. People doing the crazy things that people do. Maybe you got "lucky" and managed to peek into some of the crazier things, but all I see in your story is people. YOU claim there's a "holy spirit" working in you, but I see people and your own belief-induced sense of righteousness.
It was probably people like you that kick-started many of the worst "christian actions"...


Being your friend means nothing.
On the other hand, I told you he may have just suffered some seizure - which, given the company and, I guess, the underlying mental state, could have gotten interpreted as a divine intervention of some sort and he then endeavored to correct that past "angry" behavior.
Don't ever underestimate the power of suggestion.

Well I was with you until the demonic possession... And then the black mass thing... And then trump supporter and thinking registering Muslims have good reasons... Mmm no thank you.

My husband is Catholic and I'm atheist. I know difference in beliefs don't have to be negative. I also know that religion can be a good thing when giving someone a reason to live or behave (behaving for Christ isn't as good as behaving just to be a good human but hey take what we can get right?) And I know that living in the bible belt is hard as an atheist but not dangerous like other parts of the world so I am lucky. Christians are known to have a bloody past. Most of the wars stem from religious beliefs and a lot of those beliefs deal with the Christian god. I wanted to take part in the original topic of this thread but there is so much more involved now and honestly I can't take anyone seriously that thinks a demon possessed someone and they helped expel it.

If im going to believe the Bible, I might as well believe all of it. Else im a hypocrite.

Which creation story do you believe?
Did Jesus live in Nazareth or Bethlehem?
Was John the Baptist his announcer or had they nothing to do with each other?
Did Jesus come to destroy judaism or set it back on the path of Moses?

These are all contradictory and mutually exclusive things that you have to believe if you think all the bible is true. Ever hear of doublethink?
