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?

Well this is a bit of a shambles

First off, what the hell kind of language is "your mind is molested by fear"? Kind of a but pejorative perhaps? If the quest is" do you fear god" then you'll get a much more sensible response if you ask without the loaded bit. Especially since the bible specifically recommends that we SHOULD fear god. It could have been so simple.

By asking in such a childish way you also introduce reactance bias and a strong desire to tell you to fuck off because of the tone of the question. Nobody has to prove a thing to you!


I'm happy to say I fear god. Or to be more specific, I fear the absence of what perceive to be god. In that way I also fear my kids, my wife, my cat and my bottle of aberfeldy 1978. But I have to tell you that even if I didn't, I'd not be playing along.

Theists: Prove your mind isn't molested with fear

1. Do you own a gun in case the NWO takes over your government?
2. Do you stockpile supplies in expectation of the world's end?
3. Are you a member of RaptureReady so that your pets will be cared for when you're Raptured?
4. Do you laugh when you see a solar or wind generator because Revelations says the wind will stop and the sun will be obscured?
5. Are you afraid dogs being micro-chipped is only 'the beginning'?
6. Do you ask for absolvement of your sins A. Daily, B. Weekly, C. Constantly?
7. Are you worried about your family and friends' physical well-being on a regular basis more so when they are "unsaved"?
8. Do you drive a gas guzzling car to church with the mindset that the world's ending anyways?
9. Do you believe digital numbers are god directly communicating with you?
10. Are you afraid that being around gay people will make you gay, or around black people will make you black?
11. Do you have nightmares about demons?
12. Do your children think they have an angel looking over them to keep the demons away?
13. Are you afraid of being struck by lightning when someone says something sacrilegious around you?

Was that biographical... oh wait

I'll take absolution of sins please

It's a compilation of every fear I've heard come from Christian I knows' mouths (unsolicited).
A few of them I shared when I was a Christian, yes.

Care to answer... Any of them? Preferably all. How about all of them Fr0d0.

I just did L

No. 6 yes. The rest no.

I really don't think any benevolent, fair god would give a damn about what you write about it on an internet message board. But then, given how petty the God of the Bible is, he might very well damn you for a minor offense amounting to nothing.

Then you are not molested by fear then good for you!

Here's fun.
Atheists, are you superstitious?
Some people believe that when you take a photograph of someone a little bit of their soul goes into your picture. Obviously not us. We know that a picture is just a picture.

So to prove it, I want you to find a picture of a loved one, preferably your child if you have one, if not any close and beloved family member will do.

Then I want you to stab the picture in the eyes and face repeatedly with a knife whilst repeating "I hope you get cancer and die in lingering terror and agony in a puddle of your own excrement". Obviously the picture is just a picture and since you don't ACTUALLY hope they get cancer and die, that doesn't matter. Then I'll believe you're not superstitious

Oooooor, you could say "stick it up your arse Jacob, i don't have to prove shit to you, and I'm not going to say something which I don't believe just in order to prove a point with you."

And out of interest, whilst I sincerely hope nobody is dumb enough to do the photo thing, how does imagining yourself doing it make you feel?

I have crazy wild sex with myself meanwhilst there's pictures hanging on my wall.. does that count?

PS I'd totally do it. The stabbing out and everything. Yeah at first my theist born superstition kicked in but then my logic overrode that.

How about you Jacob, 1-13?

Fr0do are you saying you don't believe in angels and demons?
