To whom it may concern:
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.'

The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

You can't sin against something that doesn't exist.

I thirds it.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

When I started to post in this forum I respected everybody.
After a short time people started to use offensive language just because they did and do not agree with my beliefs and that gave me the impression that everything is on the table so to speak.
I do not swear or use filthy language as some people here do and I can not reply with swearing or filthy language because that is sick so I thought that I may at least use some sort of fun language to counter that filth.
Now apparently I can not so I will have to put up with more offensive language and be silent.
Is this what you are asking me?
You poor fucking martyr, having to read some goddamned cuss words! How will you ever survive such tribulations as this?
Get over yourself, asshole. Your widdle feewings get all the respect you earn with your behavior. You treat everyone else in a shitty manner, and the fact that you're too hung-up to use honest language only means that you're a prude as well as a patronizing twatwaffle.

I would have used 'twatfart' but yeah, agreed.

I have to be able to look myself in the mirror and be honest about the person I'm looking at. I have to be able to sleep with myself at night.
To go back to church now and "rest in god's forgiveness" would be like tasting the red pill and trying to go back to the blue pill. Like tasting reality and trying to go back to the illusion.
Hold onto your illusion if that's what you need to do, but I'm unwilling to go through the effort it would take to psyche myself out that way.
And when you find yourself in judgement before the God of salvation what then, this stuff you posted want mean one thing then. You still haven't shown that you haven't sinned, on the contrary you did without using the word sin, very clever of you.
The reason God wants us to ask for forgiveness, because He wants us to examine ourselves and see where we need to improve our lives, we have to examine before we can ask for forgiveness. By the way we do not have to wait for a Sunday morning service to do so, like many atheist here like to say we're to do it in the quite of our home. You try to make asking God to forgive us for our sins against Him as some kind of "get out of jail free card," it's not that way, asking is part of the living relationship with Him. To bad you missed this part of the Christian life. I'll gladly "rest in God's forgiveness," it's the only way to eternal life, judgment day awaits and I would rather not be part of what you are asking for. I have no illusion to hold onto, I hold to the truth of Christ, something that's more real than you or I.

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.
