Hello All
July 26, 2019 at 8:39 am
Some might know me from Twitter as Mark Alien. I am 58 yo male who left Christianity when I was 51...I know, what took me so long?... I would tell you but it's a long story that took over 40yrs to complete. Maybe as I get more comfortable on the forum I will say more.
In the meantime.....

Welcome Woof.

Hello and congrats on dumping Christianity. But, of course, you still believe in aliens?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Helpful hint: Try selecting the "Reply" button when responding to someone rather than "New Reply". It grabs their posts.
