10 Questions for Christians

[Edwardo Piet]

The following options must be considered..

1) ManOfGod is playing Devil's Advocate and just having a little joke with us.

2) He is delusional and really thinks that he is Jesus.

3) He really is Jesus in which case shouldn't he be out there sorting the world out rather than wasting his time on an atheist forum?

I think 1 most likely then 2 then 3. Like I said surely he doesn't really think he's Jesus...and earlier I said I thought something 'funny was going on'.
EDIT: Oh, I can't find where I said the 'funny going on' bit...I think I might have thought about it and then decided against saying it...incase he thought I was being overly-suspicious or a bit paranoid perhaps...or mischeivous or something. I very probably just didn't want to offend him incase he really believed these things...maybe I shoulda said so anyway....I shouldn't really be bending over backwards...even if he is offended a bit it shouldn't really be considered unreasonable for me to tell him that I think his beliefs are so absurd that it seems as though he's just taking the piss....because I think that's how it is. I think if he really thinks those things then he's delusional and needs helping with his delusion...but I'm not going to use force of course!

I have a question for those who are christians.

Why do you say that you God is the only God.

Here in my country, and the nordic region, we had Tor, Oden, Tyr, Frej, Freja and all sort of quite cool gods. Why shouldt they be real? My people worshiped those for a very long time, even some do today.THey havent been punished for doing that.

During that time when all of the world should have been flooded, did my people form a society and had did all kind of viking stuff and prayed to oden and so on. But that big flood must have missed those people, and all those others like the people in china, japan, americans, inca and so on. Must been very local thing down in the middleeast.

Anyway for being the only god he have done quite a crappy job to make people worship him. look how many who belong to the teaching of Buddha which a big one bilion country like china those. And those who are hindus, like those in the also one bilion people big country. Then I havent counted shintosim, taoism, and those local religion in africa, south america, and the notrhern part of europe.
know what, they havent been punished, killed or anything like that. Hmm, shouldnt that have happend? according to the bible that have acurd once, but not today....strange.

1,2&6. Suffering is a part of this life. All the pirates suffered for the Flying Spaghetti Monsters (FSM) name.
3. FSM wants us to be noodley, like him. There is a narrow path for noodleyness (Pirates, in this case) to follow.
4. Science is verifiable and true.
Recipes for bolognese sauce cannot always be taken literally, but still contains divine truth. The earth is as old as science says. His holy noodleyness created man and all seeming ancestors, as well as midgets - after all we are all his creation. The flood is a part of the story of salivation indicative of the digestive system preparing for his meaty goodness.
5. FSM is not supportive of midget slavery. This was the nature of man in that day. The Spaghetti monster did not try to overwhelm man by dictating everything at once.
7. Remember that most of Margaret Thatcher's miracles were also done by her disciples. This was how the Tuberculosis spread.
8. FSM shows his divine Noodle to the faithful.
I hold that 90% of the pirate population does not believe the truth of FSM's life in their life.
9. This is to indicate how FSM is in everything around us, the birds, the trees, the grass, and midgits - especially the midgits, for they are his chosen people.
10. The true faithful, who swear before the meaty sauciness of his holy noodley appendages, do NOT eat pasta with cream sauce.

I could not stop laughing at your response Jason Jarred. In your lifetime, you will be proven wrong, you will see GOD at work and you will fear the LORD and you will know that I am the Risen Christ.

Sorry mate, but I don't buy into this stuff so easily. Reason, Logic and evidence is what comes first, not superstitions.

Also....Your god now?

Oh boy

I understand that there is just as much evidence for the existence of the FSM than there is for Yahweh, Allah, Zeus, Thor or any other conceivable God/supernatural being/thing for that matter.

In response to the many replies, I say only this: The Righteous shall live by faith. Jesus is NOT GOD, He was the Son. I am not Jesus, but am the Risen Christ.

I thought Jesus (according to the bible) is supposed to be God in human form - God incarnate.

[ManofGOD]

1,2&6. Suffering is a part of this life. All the saints suffered for GODs name.

Why? Does your god not love us?

3. GOD wants us to be holy, like him. There is a narrow path for good men(Jews, in this case) to follow.

And being good is being like you? Does that include being bigoted? Intolerant? Racist (probably)? Misogynistic (probably)?

4. Science is verifiable and true. Scripture cannot always be taken literally, but still contains divine truth. The earth is as old as science says. GOD created man and all seeming ancestors. The flood is a part of the story of salvation indicative of the end.

So some of your scriptures (the Bible? The Torah?) is literal, some is not? How do you tell which bits are to be taken literally and which are not? How do you know if you've interpreted the various bits correctly?

5. God is not supportive of slavery. The was the nature of man in that day. God did not try to overwhelm man by dictating everything at once.

So your god, implicitly supporting the slavery of the day, is immoral by today's standards or has morality just changed?

7. Remember that most of Jesus's miracles were also done by his disciples. This was how the church spread.

And that answer's the question of why there was no evidence exactly how? If things affect our world (as claimed miracles must do) then they must leave validatable evidence of their passing some of which will be detectable or validatable today ... why is there no such evidence?

Dawkins has likened the spread of religion to that of a virus.

8. God shows his face to the faithful. I hold that 90% of the church does not believe the truth of Jesus's life in their life.

Really? That would be the "no true Scotsman" fallacy!

9. This is to indicate how GOD is in everything around us.

Another interpretation ... how do you know that it is the correct one?

10. The true faithful, who swear before GOD, do NOT divorce.

Again that would be the "no true Scotsman" fallacy!

Kyu

GOD loves his creation. This is evident in his attempts to bring man to Him in the religions. This is the meaning of spiritual truth for all such truth comes from GOD.

One has first to recognise ones sinful nature, then keep from sinning while having faith in GOD that He loves you and will save you from a spiritual death.
This is the central message of the Holy Bible.
