Challenge to atheists: I find your lack of faith disturbing!
RE: Challenge to atheists: I find your lack of faith disturbing!
Why necropost instead of posting in a more recent thread?

Wow, nice way to generalize.

Yes I think most people are unbelievably stupid - I've said this dozens of times already, so what? My brother, who's 28, is a smoker - our father died of cancer at 48 and he is waiting for his own cancer? His best friend got Leukaemia a couple of years ago and nearly died, and he also smokes - I told him he should stop smoking, he says to me "why, I already had cancer" - and I said - "yes, but it doesn't mean you can't also get lung cancer". Hell I would have thought that going through that much pain and suffering would have scared him to death of getting cancer again, but I guess I was wrong.

Waiting for bad things to happen to you is not a good plan in life.
Quote:Anyone can quote Scripture. Anyone can do extensive research relating to the history of Christianity. According to Christians, Satan himself can! lol So, what does your faith actually mean to you? That would be a more powerful testimony than scolding us and ridiculing our lack of Bible history knowledge.
A lot of the atheist response on this forum towards certain matters of history are completely ignorant of the facts - of course I'm going to call people out on that. It's not because they "don't know" their history, but rather that they actually deny accepted history like say Holocaust Denial. As I've said many times, if you are going to present an alternate history to an event which is generally accepted by historians you need to present evidence.
Quote:St. Francis of Assisi was noted as saying, "Preach the gospel, use words if necessary." Otherwise, why bother? People should be able to tell that your faith means something without you uttering a word. That is one of the reasons non believers get turned off.

Not judging you, not my place. But you are certainly not in a place to judge anyone who doesn't believe as you do. Just my two cents FWIW.
So? Not everything has to be politically correct. Just because I say some things that people may not want to hear doesn't mean that it's because I hold them in contempt or anything of the sort.

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK


"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
