Religion has no monopoly on light, knowledge or truth. In fact, I would say it's quite lacking in all three categories. Believe if you must, but please don't come here telling us how lost we are without your particular brand of snake oil.

If your way has lead you to rely on yourself rather then God, then, fine. You don't like to be reminded of God, his guidance, the path and journey towards him, but just as you like to be free to express what you think is wise and best, you should expect everyone to be able to express their beliefs and share their viewpoint of wisdom.

We are in incredible age where we can discuss matters at ease. Why block yourself from others attempt to help you from their perspective and remind you.

So you should be able to call my path a brand of snake oil, but, if I call you lost without it, then it's problematic?

Free speech. 

When someone says "I don't give a damn if people believe in God", I am going to respond "Well you should because you need his light to be guided out of the darkness and not be lead astray towards the darkness".

You want to state an opinion? Fine. I have no problem with that. You state it as fact though. Please, learn the difference.

They have one thing in common, though...

They both find our lack of faith disturbing.
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.

Why do stupid threads like these get so many replies? This isn't even a productive discussion. Attention whore-borderline trolls like Randy should be ignored. He's not even trying anymore to be an effective witness for Christ. He's just posturing and borderline trolling all for attention.

Actually, this thread has produced some of the most fruitful discussion I've read in a while on this forum.

But that's because Randy didn't come back for over twenty pages after the OP.

Ok but only when the dark forces are surrounding us. Last time I couldn't focus because god kept winking at me and there was a little string of drool hanging off his lip.
