Yeah, I believed all, or at least almost all the bullshit. Of course I wouldn't have gone to an Atheists forum to convert people. Despite my beliefs, in practice I was rather "Live and Let Live."
A lot of people shut down when faced with ridicule/embarrassment. I get that this is a forum for Atheists, but I agree with Vulcan and Whatevs.
Even at the very top of the Christian org chart chaos reigns as to who is in charge of the enterprise. The ridicule and embarrassment is well deserved.
Matthew 20 (KJV)
23 And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.
Matthew 28 (KJV)
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
