how so?

because i know the difference between the Law and a proverb? Just because you always thought the world worked just one way, but then found out it actually works another does not mean those who follow how the world really works poo poo's on the world... Just your understanding of it.


How do you do that drich?

Does the book of proverbs have any *laws* from god?

Haha. Someone give me a law of God and I'll go out and break it, see what happens.

Oh wait, we do that all the time. So do christians. Whoops.

Most tedious thread ever.

Nice thread, Drich ... but I'm still going to refer to you as "dolt".

You all have convinced me with your endless arguements that despite what 'rule' a given affiliation may have they mean little to nothing compared to what a person 'feels' or claims for himself.

You've convinced me that you're a jackass, and proud of it.

It's a free country. Call yourself what you want. You clearly don't care how stupid you make yourself sound.

Hmph

You changed your religious views so you're good to go, but someone beat you to it:

We're not a group in the sense of having rules. All we all share is one opinion on one topic. Some of us will tell you to go for it, and others will try to educate you on what words mean. We might argue with each other about it.

Here's the difference between you and Mormons in this regard: Nearly everyone you tell that you're a God-loving atheist will think you're an idiot if serious or a jackass if not, or worse, a Unitarian. The Mormon, on the other hand, will mostly only get this 'you're not a Christian' flack from evangelical fundamentalists, who are well known for their misuse of their native language and ability to cling to ignorance.

How about you request your user name be changed to God loving Atheist? We generally refer to people by their user name, not their stated religious views.

Oh, that would have been SO clever if he had said it was a complete list.

(January 12, 2015 at 3:32 pm)Drich Wrote: Your example is exactly my point. Mormons don't even believe in the God of the bible, or the Jesus Christ outlined in the bible yet somehow they are christian, so why not you too?

Funny thing is, 'Christian' isn't defined as 'believing in God and Jesus the same way Drich does'. It's just believe in God and Jesus and in following their teachings, full stop. The differences in interpretation are why the number of denominations keeps growing.

You are a theist who does, so that works out nicely for you. But I suppose you meant 'an atheist who does'. Because the word 'Christian' has a standard usage which we are retaining because standard, and you are rejecting so you can pretend to be the arbiter of who is and isn't in the Christian club. We are applying the definition consistently, and you are changing it to suit yourself.

But no one is stopping you from calling yourself an atheist or telling you that you can't. We're just noting your (hopefully) deliberate obtuseness.

Why don't you explain to us what you consider the most essential beliefs someone must hold to be Christian?

THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY BELEIEVE!! Jesus and God at one time we're just regular guys! That they were honorable/righteous before their own God 'in the time before' and they were awarded earth to be God over themselves!

Your defintion of 'regular' is even more out there than your definition of 'Christian'. Their doctrine clearly states they made the Earth. Just regular guys, eh?

Amazing how many way Christians find to be dishonest, hypocritical, and just plain stupid.

The problem with Drich is that he can't just see how absurd and sparse christian belief can get. Atheism has no dogmas, just the lack of belief in those entities they call gods, Christianism however, has many dogmas and all subject to many interpretations, given that there is no way to distinguish between several flavours of a fantasy.

Saying you are a god loving atheist is like saying you are a carnivorous vegan.
