Perhaps I ought to reiterate the part where I said they are friends of mine, very old friends at that; they were the ones who got my Sam and I together. They're gonna love reading this.
No, just making a GENERALIZED point. How does it feel?
What [is] a GROSS misrepresentation.... is that ALL Christians lie.
Actually, to be perfectly honest, all men lie. There's some generalized truth for you.
... but, it's a childish lie on the part of anti's to continually make broad, sweeping statements (
not just in this thread) about ALL Christians, and especially Catholics. When [you know] in fact it does not represent the vast majority of the community. As a matter of fact, it more resembles your figures here: one, three... "a couple". NOT BILLIONS! Or, even millions.
It doesn't matter to you, or anyone here that "most" Christians go about the world doing good, and helping their fellow humans.... atheists included! Because being hated isn't a deal breaker for them. They love, and do good; for goods sake.
But, that isn't news worthy is it? That isn't a good reason to hate us, huh?
So basically, you are lying to yourselves, and to each other. In the supreme effort to bring ALL Christians down. Because you: "don't like it". "want it", or "don't need it". Well.... WE DO!
You know what? We don't "like" you guys either. But, we do love you! Because no matter how you act, or what you say, or what you do.... you were created in God's image. And He deserves better. We love whatever of God that is still left. No matter how small. No matter how hidden. Its still there. That's our real "motive". To find Him in EVERYTHING! Ironically, even [in] an atheist forum.
Genesis 1:27 So God created humans in [His image]. In the image of God he created them. He created them male and female.
