Here to help
I was told by someone that I should do an introduction which is right so here I am introducing myself.

I'm not really very good at talking about myself as it's best to be humble and instead talk about the good news of my new best friend, Jesus. But my priest says I can as long as I don't flatter myself.

My real name is Flynn, I am 60 years young and until recently I was head croupier in a casino here in London where I live. I had been working as a croupier for over 25 years but felt that I could no longer stay in my job as Jesus doesn't like gambling and my priest says it's sinful. I am now working as a street pastor which is great as I get to meet lots of people and talk to them about how Jesus loves them and want to be their friend.

I am married and have 6 children and 3 grandchildren. I am the only saved in my family which makes me sad that they might go to hell if they don't listen to me but, if it's Jesus' will then it must be good, even if I don't understand yet.

Until I found Jesus I used to be an atheist and loved sci-fi, especially Star Trek and Babylon V, Fishing and I was a member of a pub quiz team but now I mainly study scripture and do lots of odd jobs for my priest. But sometime I do take a sneaky peek at an old episode of Doctor Who or Star Trek when no-one's looking Smile

Oh, and I looked up the words troll and poe on the internet. I thought people were calling me a hairy creature. I'm not used to forums so sorry if I caused any misunderstandings.

God bless

Welcome. No one here is going to be swayed by your words so no preaching, m'kay?

RE: Here to help
You talk a lot about being 'saved'. Obviously from my point of view there is nothing to be saved from.
So you might as well give up with that. Also we have heard it all before.
You like pretty much every other theist I encounter focus a lot on some kind of afterlife. Which tells me you fear the end of your existence. Religion seems completely centred on death.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

Hi,

I myself am a huge fan of Babylon 5 in particular and sci fi in general.

Ever seen Farscape?

I can assure you there isn't a single atheist here that needs the spiritual help of a christian. I've only just joined my self, but I will still welcome you.

By the way....

You do know that there is NO contemporary evidence outside of the bible(and even the bits in that relating to JC were written much later) that jesus ever existed, don't you.

when you sign up you are entreated to introduce yourself...seems that the majority of theist feel far too superior to this action and like all infants just barge right in.

You have made you first bunch of lies right there...you were very happy to talk (ad nauseum) about how wonderful you felt being this brain dead "born again" idiot . Jesus doesn't exist so you have been hoodwinked right there.... Your "priest" is an egotistical, power hungry maniac.

Hello Flynn. Nothing wrong with being a croupier..... so you are a problem gambler?
London is a very nice place ...so I am told and there are many atheists that live there...some are even on this forum.

More lies... I don't think it says anywhere in the bible that gambling is sinful...I could be wrong though as that book is full of crap misinformation.

So you have gone from being a croupier to being a slut street walker for this organisation...

You should be sad for yourself (egotistical idiot) you are the only one in your family who is weak??

You are a Troll and perhaps a Poe . And I still think you would look lovely in PINK

You have come to the wrong place to make yourself feel good and I have my suspicions that you are just one of our most recent theists who have been banned...so you are a sock puppet?? For whom is the $65,000 question.

You are NOT saved you have been deluded by your imagination...enjoy your anguish Flynn of London with 6 children and 3 grandchildren who will be in Hell with us enjoying the intellectual company.

I'm sure your family will think of how great and merciful your god is whilst they sizzle for eternity in a lake of fire. The fact that you're okay with the notion of that makes me realize we're probably not going to get along, because I am going to point out how icky you are every time you say something so vile.

Welcome, icky.

How arrogant it is to think your own family will burn in an imaginary place.

Not just that but to say it's a good thing.
