Christians, prove your minds aren't molested by fear.

[Mudhammam]

I would never have done that when I was a believer. Partly out of a sense of deep respect and adoration for god and Jesus, but yeah... also fear. That would have been like asking the 8-year-old me to say something insulting about my mom. Even if I wanted to, I knew I'd be flayed alive if she happened to hear. And let me tell you, SHE WAS OMNIPRESENT where that kind of shit was concerned.

Exactly. When I was a Christian even the thought of uttering a blasphemy, no matter how insincere, would have made me feel uneasy. But OF COURSE the reason is fear. That's why I offered the challenge, to see which believers here can actually prove their continual insistence that it has nothing to do with fear when it is so obvious to those of us who have made the journey from faith to reason.
