Get In The Ark Before It Is Too Late!!!

Crucifixes: good against vampires and Jesus. That's what I call value for money.
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.'
That makes me wonder how much Jesus actually likes the idea of the cross being the holy symbol for his followers. That can't have been a fun experience for him, but they focus more on his death than his actual resurrection. You'd think the christian holy symbol would be a tomb with an open door, since that's really the important part. It's not that Jesus taught some good things and then got killed. It's that he rose from the dead to show he wasn't just another wandering teacher with some progressive ideas.
Yet it's the cross, and not the tomb, that they use for their holy symbol.

My guess is the cross is where the victory of sin was won, and the tomb, the victory over death.

My guess is the cross and the tomb were both chosen by the passive aggressive pothead herds of the make belief shepard for their shock value to the somewhat more urbane and respectable culture of the roman world.

(The resurrection only serves to fulfill prophesy, a godly cv..as it were. The crucifixion however is said to have paid an unpayable cosmic debt - I can see why one might focus on it.........they're sick...........)

He deceives the whole world in rejecting the Truth. Obviously, he easily accomplished his goal on this board. Yet, ironically, you can't prove, or even know that God is telling you the truth. From a logical perspective, it's entirely possible they're both lying, or that God is lying and Satan is telling the truth. You only believe God because you want to. Remember the notion that the victor gets to write the history books. If you assume God and Satan exist and believe God makes the claims said in the Bible, God hasn't demonstrated honesty; he's demonstrated victory and poisoning the well against his opposition. You're told to distrust Satan before he can even plead his case. And really, you have no reason to trust God. If you believe he's real, you would be right to fear him, but not to trust him. We are told not to kill, yet God kills all the time. Apologists excuse this away by saying that those rules apply to us or that God has no moral imperative not to kill us. Similarly, we're told not to lie. The apologetics are clear: those rules don't apply to God and he has no moral imperative not to lie to us. Sure, it's possible he's telling the truth, but he would only do so if he wants to, and you're relying on trusting the will and motivations of an admitted child-killer. I'm not saying you should start trying to converse with Satan (he's probably not real, and that'd make you a crazy person), but you should totally question why you place your trust where you do without question, and why you make excuses for someone who refuses to let you question his actions.
God breaks up with his boyfriend and then talks endless shit about the poor fucker. Seen it :yawn:

Rev, please address my last post.
'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain
'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House “Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom "If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech
He hasn't even acknowledged mine yet, and I've asked him twice. I thought he liked me.
