Type the following words, say them aloud to yourself. You don't have to mean them. And of course, you can ask your God for forgiveness if you feel dirty afterwards. But prove that you're not actually buying into the crap you believe in based on fear by uttering the simple phrases, knowing "in your heart" what you actually think. Look, I'll try it from my end.

I love the Lord with all my heart and mind. God is great.

I don't mean any of that but it was fairly easy for me to type, knowing how meaningless the words actually are. Now you try:

Jesus is a retarded piece of shit. Yahweh is the dumbest god of them all.

Can you type that? If not, is it because you're afraid?

Are you talking about yourself here?

Scared?

It's pretty funny how all fr0d0 had to do to render your point invalid was copy and paste that one line. Yet, peculiarly, he chooses not to.

Even more funny, he was browsing the forum until about 5 minutes ago. LOL.

He's probably consulting Jesus to get his perfect opinion.

I would never have done that when I was a believer. Partly out of a sense of deep respect and adoration for god and Jesus, but yeah... also fear. That would have been like asking the 8-year-old me to say something insulting about my mom. Even if I wanted to, I knew I'd be flayed alive if she happened to hear. And let me tell you, SHE WAS OMNIPRESENT where that kind of shit was concerned.

Might be a while 'til we hear the outcome of that discussion.

Exactly. When I was a Christian even the thought of uttering a blasphemy, no matter how insincere, would have made me feel uneasy. But OF COURSE the reason is fear. That's why I offered the challenge, to see which believers here can actually prove their continual insistence that it has nothing to do with fear when it is so obvious to those of us who have made the journey from faith to reason.

The words are just disgusting. The ruse is a fallacial party of zero worth. My mind is purely set at disgust at you rather than any fear towards any deity. Me insulting you would be more hurtful to God. If you had an inclining of understanding of the subject you might realise this.

I've committed the unpardonable sin before. Your infantile posturing is nothing.

Sooooo, you're not gonna copy and paste it? Lol, I wasn't expecting this much success from the OP.
