Yeah,who in his right mind would want to spend eternity with GC, Undeceived, and the rest of that shower? I suspect even grene might get on my wick after a couple of hundred years.

It is now quite apparent that the only thing Christians despise more than atheists are other people that call themselves Christians, but don't conform to the standard of a True Christian™.

Why is there a TM after True Christian? You make it sound like a brand of soap.

Basically that is what xtianity is. Nothing more than a brand of soap-suds.

I see we didn't make it past the first page before someone incorrectly capitalized 'atheists' and asserted that people who simply don't believe aren't atheists. Imagine if it had been a thread on the definition of 'atheist'.

Well perhaps there will be a day when the Anglo Atheists will follow in the footsteps of the Europeans atheists....I don't see that happening anytime soon so were are stuck with Fundamentalist wanabees.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

He's a Baptist, a registered fundy. They're all like that. He's claims to be an "ordained" priest but when I questioned him further, it turns out they have no bishops. So, he's not an ordained priest but a SELF-APPOINTED shaman.
You are one incredibly stupid dolt, I never said I was a priest and you never questioned me about being a deacon, you are a liar of the 3rd degree.

He does not conform to the Biblical definition of being a Christian, the child is an atheist period, his mental delusions have lead him to believe he is something other than an atheist.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
