Am I getting this straight? You think the gospels were written by the actual apostles whose names they bear?

Judging by the nature of the gospels they would have been better off being called the gospels of Larry, Moe, and Curly.

So free speech is only the right of atheist, typical thinking of those who want to be so childish about things they dislike or do not understand.

Christians have no problem understanding about prayer.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

It would not be the slightest inaccurate to say their deity is a thousand, a million, or even a billion times more real then yours.

And yet they all seem to understand it differently, but somehow you've awarded yourself the right to decide who is and isn't a christian...
As has every christian who has a disagreement with another at any time.

You're mistaken. Nobody here wants you to shut up. People like you are far more effective at selling atheism than any actual atheist.

GC First off who is denying christians free speech? I've never heard of this, though i suppose it happen in Muslim africa, but go ahead a cite one legal case of a christian being denied free speech by the government. I'll wait.
Also why do you think it is childish that Christians be repaid in kind for their behavior as a whole? Christians don't stay silent on education in science or gay marriage because it offends their sensibilities, so why should we stay silent when christians never did?

If that was the case there would one church with every christian giving a the same message, instead of what? Like 34,000 denominations of christianity. There are times when even the even the select few of you on here contradict each other. Also if his goal is to reach to unbelivers like what is stated in the bible, why the fuck would he use prayer and a faulty book as his sole means of communication. I can think of far better ways to accomplish that without being even close to omniscient.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
