It's a very moving thing.
Back on topic!
Saved can't preach, so I have a feeling his work here is done.
I've been known to exclaim 'Oh my fucking god. I'm coming'.
That's about as close to rapture as I'll ever get.
Yeah, I suspect Deluded won't be back, at least not for long. We have as much use for Jesus as the Inuit do for snow. Except you can't build a shelter out of Jesus.

But that's not all. Because you love him that means that when you die you will be resurrected to spend the rest of eternity in paradise where you can carry on worshipping him and loving him for ever. Isn't that fantastic?
Jesus is a Yandere? I knew it.
Quote:The word "yandere" refers to a character who is crazy about someone else. Literally. Despite the anime-inspired name, this type of character is much, much older than that, as one of the earliest examples is the Mesopotamian goddess Ishtar (Inanna).
The character almost always appears perfectly cute and harmless on the surface... but underneath they may be obsessive, controlling, and sometimes just plain insane. Woe to anyone who happens to be the object of their often genuine affection. Even more pity should be saved for anyone who gets in the way - the psycho-obsessive is amazingly unwilling to put up with any rivals. There could be a long mental instability; May also be Not Good With Rejection.
It comes in two flavors:
Possessive: This type of Yandere is so in love with his/her crush that she's willing to kill her beloved to prevent other love interests from taking him away from him/her.
Obsessive: This type of Yandere is willing to kill off her competition so he/she can be closer to his/her loved one.

@ Saved
There we go again, religion centred on death. You say we're afraid of truth? I say you're afraid of reality.

No, that sounds like hell to me. Torture would be a good word for it. Worshipping an arsehole for eternity? Also, I don't want to live for eternity. Sure it sounds nice but existence will become a prison. I'm pretty sure I will grow tired of existing. Live a few hundred years maybe but not for eternity.
Imagine living beyond a googolplex and spending that time worshipping a total prick endlessly.
Quote:I know atheists are only the way they are because they hate God
How can you hate something you don't believe exists? Hate has got nothing to do with why I'm an atheist pal.

Speak for yourself. I have no desire to live forever.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
I think this guy is a POE. Something smack of too much exacting fundamentalism, not even real fundies are that consitant.

Me too; I was bluffing.
No you weren't. At the very least you've always been consistant in your attitude towards theists.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
