You all convinced me, I'm now an Atheist!!!
RE: You all convinced me, I'm now an Atheist!!!
You can love God and be Atheist in the same way I can love Batman and not believe he exists. But I don't think this is what Drich intended.

That isn't Drich's point, though. Drich's point is that God appointed him to be the ultimate authority to judge who is and is not a Christian based upon their willingness to practice Christianity in a way that Drich has decided is the only right one.

Which is funny, because Drich is absolutely a false Christian based upon his own criteria.

Something about living by what the Bible says, and not ignoring the parts you don't want to live by. You know, like you ignore Mosaic law because you don't want to live by it.

Preach!
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

If God wants to tell us stuff, why doesn't he just make an account? Why instead is he sending garbled contradictory messages through several theists? His idea of a joke I guess.

You are not an atheist, or whatever you believe yourself to be, you are you, you are, and everything else that you believe yourself to be is conditioning and programming, like it or not.

what are you talking about? the Mosaic law indroduces and define the rules for attonement and forgivness. Christianity's foundations are built on the mosic law for this very reason

Christ did tell us what to do concerning the Law. He said the WHole law hangs on just two commandments: Love your Lord God with all of your being and love your neighbor as yourself. If you love God with all of your being, your worship will look differently than mine. To me it seems you are a method worshiper (or would be) you need a check list to follow in order to feel like you are worshiping correctly. I am not if I were to worship in this way I would quickly loose myself into the practices of worship much like the pharisees did. Therefore we would need two seperate different ways to worship.

Because of that command to Love God with all of your being one needs to have the freedom Christianity affords to be able to follow that command.

So just because I call myself an Atheist doesn't make me one if I don't follow the rules of Atheism?
