Welcome, and just to let you know, you will never get this soul for Jesus.Tongue

If this guy's posts make it to double figures I'll believe in miracles.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Why does an all-powerful god need your help to do that exactly?

You must all be the pride of Christianity and of your intellectual equals (aka a room full of monkeys) I'm sure.


Quote:We serve a powerful God who is not to be trifled with and it is our duty to try to bring the wayward into the flock.
It's your prerogative to be a mindless sheep. Whereas I choose to be a freethinker thank you.


Quote:To all non-believers:
Feel free to contact me at any time if you would like me to lead you to a personal relationship with my lord and savior Jesus Christ. May the Holy Spirit move in this place so that none of you would burn in the eternal fires of Hell.
You pray for me, and I'll think for you.

I'm pretty sure that is the only act he has.

Most of them are one-trick ponies.

Well Welcome anyway, I will overlook the going to hell bit. I hope you stay here is enlightening and insightful and tests your faith, it will either get stronger or loss it all together, and I hope you that not be just a sheep.

I would never condemn you to hell. I want nothing more than to save you. My God has reserved hell for all of those who deny him. Don't be one of those people and you can worship with me forever in paradise.

Amen!

That's quite a steep punishment for for denying him, don't you think?

Assuming that your God is real (and in no way can I bring myself to believe that), it seems unfair to condemn someone to an eternity of torment simply for choosing to believe the evidence that points against him existing, that he, himself must have put here.

Plus a human lifetime (let's say about 80 years) is nothing compared to eternity. It's not even a split second. And you're saying that my actions, no matter how severe, in that split second warrant an eternity of suffering.

Besides that, if you're God created me, he was the one that game me my inquisitive mind, and it's my inquisitive my mind that makes me wish for evidence, so really he condemned me to hell before I was even born. Is that fair? Even if your God was real, I don't think that is a man worth worshipping.

You just said "I want to save you from the fires of hell." That implies that you know we're going to hell. You must be god, then. Except you're not. so you're condemning without authority. Double fallacy.

Besides. As an atheist, a christian threatening me with hell is like a hippie threatening to punch my aura. [can't remember who has that as their sig, but kudos to them for it]

Trust me. You won't find any converts here. Your time will be better spent among your fellow deluded kin.

Lay off the preaching or I'll lead my foot to a personal relationship with your ass.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
