free will paradox

[fr0d0]

Are you really quoting the Jews here as the authority on god? They deny his one and only begotton son.

They wrote the OT right? Which is what is in question here? On the OT alone, the Jews concluded the attributes of God. The Abrahamic God which is the same God as the Christian God. Unlike Allah.

I know atheists quote the OT at Christians like the NT didn't also apply. I know right?

God won't force you to worship him, but nothing would make you happier than to do so.

Still don't get how you know what would make me happier?

It's that basic that everyone has to be made happier by it. Unless you are perfection, which I know, even though you might be close, you are not, sweet girl.

Even when I was a Christian, I just had to deal with the fact that athiests
were going to be happy and I wasn't, plain and simple.

Wow. lol

Seriously Cluckie, I don't recognise this. I don't want to call this non christian, but I see no evidence for the affirmative. If you feel comfortable with it perhaps you could tell us what exactly it was?

Since becoming aware of the fact that I need not be angry at god for my lifetime of bullshit, I've become happy for the first time <IN MY LIFE>
And my lifestyle has not changed one bit from before deconversion to now, so you can't say that I'm
happier cuz now I get to sin. I'm happier because a weight has been lifted off my shoulders, actually.

^^ this for example. Sin is the weight you carry on your shoulders. Guilt is sin. It doesn't make any sense if you're calling this Christianity. It's the opposite of that. Not that this isn't very common. There must be a vast majority of people the same. The uk has ~70% that believe in god, and ~80% that believe in ghosts. (rough figures based on facts somewhere, forgive me). So even though there are plenty that give it lip service, the vast majority just don't get it. Your situation sounds more intense though. Perhaps this is common in the US. I hear it's one crazy place of religious nutjobs.

I'm not superstitious
