When you became a Christian did you start to hate your family?  Did you leave them and go on the road preaching about your new best buddy Jesus?  As a Gentile how do you think you will ever get into the golden cube called New Jerusalem when there's no gate for you to enter through?

Do you understand what it is meant by hating your family? No, I didn't because no one ever told me about what to do with my christianity. If it come between my family and God it has to be God. No I do not go on the road and preach with God and not he isn't my best buddy he is My King and God and Lord. Yes one day I will live forever with God in a perfect recreation of the world free from evil. 

Do you know that christianity isn't you getting to God but that God has come down to you? Do you understand that it is God who will give you the grace to sanctify you and no matter how much you mess up if you are His you are secure in Him forever?

I will agree that we will have to disagree. I don't think I am wasting time here because I have already been changed by this and I am positive that God will do something beyond even me.

Your gawd does not exist.  It's all in your head, quite literally.  When you pray, you're yammering at AIR and nothing else.  And, just on the off chance that your imaginary friend exists, then if he has one-billionth of the abilities you claim he does, he doesn't need you to speak for him.  He doesn't need you to splatter your illogical bullshit onto atheist forums and shove it in people's faces.  IF he exists, he can speak for himself.  If he can't speak for himself, he isn't worth a second's thought.

No you are wrong. God is real not imaginary and I don't pray to air. I pray to the creator of the universe who has all power and deserved honor and glory. He runs, reigns and rules  all things. The only reason you can even breath is because of him. He has measured your days and one day you will make an account for every word you uttered, thought, or wrote. 

Yes, you are right there will be a day He will speak for Himself and can even speak to you now if you would humble yourself. I just have the privilege at the moment to speak for Him.You assume He isn't speaking. You sin suppresses the truth about Hm. It is better for you that I speak to you than that He would speak to you. 

You say I shove it in your face, but you don't have to even engage with me. I am on one thread in this forum. You have come over here to engage with me. Don't pretend that I am stalking you with what I have to say. You are not a victim. 

Your false notions about who God is is laughable. He isn't hoping you will just believe in Him. Like some lonely being seeking friendship. "Oh pretty please believe in me". It is for your sake. It is a mercy to you that He even gives you a chance to know HIm. You will hear the voice of God. You can either hear it as a loved child of God or you can hear it and you will be destroyed by it.


Wow, God can't even do his own threatening now? This is sad. No one is scared of your fake God. Why would any loving god need to use threats and fear to gain worship in the first place? Why would anyone who isn't a sociopath even WANT to be worshipped? Makes no sense. The time you start threatening us with hell is about the time you can politely fuck off.

Nobody deserves to burn in Hell, especially at the beck of a cosmic despot who created them knowing in advance what would happen. If you think so, you love no one, and if your Gaud thinks so, he doesn't love anyone, either.


Quote:You have yet to explain what reality is but you say you believe in it.


Reality is the state of things as they actually exist, rather than how they might seem or be imagined. Following from that, truth is that which comports with reality.


Quote:God is reality because there is no lie in Him. He is the truth from Him come everything and you can't even understand anything without him. You can't even understand the bible without him. I don't doubt that you were sincere about your religion and your faith, but you didn't have faith in God because once you are with God it is impossible to leave.


Bullshit. I had faith in the same god you do. Now I don't because I've realized there's no reason to believe anything on faith, and there's no other reason to believe in any gods. You can claim the contrary all you want, but I know better, and so do most of the people here, and that's why you sound like such an ignorant twat when you continue to brazenly insist that our faith wasn't real or that it wasn't really faith in god. Yes, it was, to the same extent that yours is. Your Bible, your pastor, and your flapping mouth can insist otherwise all they want; they're just wrong.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):

"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)

Throughout the day we make statements about what is going on around us, yet hardly any of them pan out.

It is no different with your god.

God is no more a reality than any other fictionally created deity throughout history.

I know for a fact that those who claim to understand anything in relation to him have in fact lost touch with reality for the sake of their god delusion.

I suppose bullshit is easier to understand without a delusional belief in something.

Yep, that's why I get bored with 'debating' fantasists with delusions of profundity and whose belief structure is so weak it can only be propped up by preemptively lashing out at every potential threat. Their pet god, were it existent, would be the weakest, most pathetic entity in the Universe. It can't even take offence by itself.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

LFC, you beat me to it.   Clap  This is what I expect from xtians.  Actually, we need more people like this.  They can't prove anything, they can't even come up with decent apologetics.  All they do is spew threats.  They are such horrible witnesses for their idiot sociopathic murderous misogynistic imaginary friend that they CREATE atheists.
