When do you plan to Convert to Christanity?

[Pompey]

you're Jewish?

So was "jesus" if you fall for the bullshit story.

That's my point I was just trolling the troll.

Simple question.

I know all of you are currently leading a carefree life, enjoying it to the fullest. But a time comes when responsibility takes over and you need to convert to Christianity a become a more responsible citizen and human. My question, is the time right for you to convert or would you wait a little longer?

mr/miss Christian,
Simple Question:

I know you are currently leading a life of slavery, serving a self-absorbed dictator. But a time comes when reason and logic really should take the place of fairy tales and evil wizards so that you can be a responsible rational human being. My question, is the time right for you to leave childish superstitions behind or would you wait a little longer?




A simple question really.

[Christian]

Wow, you really are unconditionally polite. Y'know, I really hope you are a troll, because otherwise I'll feel bad for being so rude to you. In fact, if you are a real person, then I hereby apologize. I still don't think you are, though.

No need to apologize Madam Celi. I know you never meant it.

a time comes when responsibility takes over and you need to convert to Christianity a become a more responsible citizen and human.

This is a clear cut example of preaching, just so you know.

Madam Shell B, I am so sorry if any of my posts appear like preaching. Its unintentional. I apologize, from the bottom of my heart, to the forum mods and members. Its never going to happen again.

Dear christian,

Thought I'd take a minute from my carefree life to explain to you what I see, as an athiest, and what you see as a christian.
Try as you might, to put yourself in my shoes for once please. I know you think that dropping god is an easy out, hence your statement,
but I would beg to differ. Highly. If anything not only do I have the weight of the world on my shoulders instead of gods, but now I too
have to worry about your world view staining every bit of my life that you can effect then dealing with your imp-unities in the process.

For Example:

You see an unrepentant murderer, I see the same. You see an evil soul destined for hell to be punished for his actions, I see a man whose done wrong in his life, yet there is nothing besides earthly justice for his crimes. What's done is done, I have peace in knowing that there's nothing that can be done besides look to the future and try to learn from the past. You on the other hand, watch him die by lethal injection with a sense of vindication knowing that he will be in hell for his actions. I see him die and cry because he was probably mentally ill or hurt so irreparably by someone else, that he became something incomprehensible. What's more is he's dying for a notion of "an eye for an eye", and in your bible it is not murder to kill a murderer for their crime.
I cry for him, and his victim, and I don't just stop there. I see hope that humanity can stop hurting one other one day by holding itself accountable, not in the next life but in this one. I hope that one day humanity can stop killing those that need the most study and understanding. I hope that mankind can stop fulfilling its' selfish want of retribution in order to bring light to what causes such evil in the first place, and avoiding it from continuing.
Yet at the time of this murderers' (justified in your eyes) death, you stop there, you brush your shoulders, and you move on. I don't forget, I can never forget, and I do everything in my power to help those who have been hurt so they won't hurt others, I fight mental illness in my own family and friends with as much conviction as you hold in your god assertion. I make a stand, in essence, with life--in hopes of improving it one person at a time. You have a passive at best attitude towards it that is the same attitude that allows these travesties to go on. So your belief system upholds the quid pro quo and then revels in punishing it, with no hope held of life being anything other than what it is. So in conclusion: You're holding humanity back with your beliefs, not the other way around as you so vehemently believe.

Conclusion: Already been a christian all my life, not goin back.

I have never been happier in my entire life, as I am now. It would take pages and pages for me to list all the reasons why, but in essence: I'm free of your 'world view'.

[Something completely different]

The troll has been fed to it`s fullest extent and level of fat.

Now.

...Need to become a more responsible citizen and human-

...Are you fucking joking?

You must be.

But since I am undecided, I have decided to link you to a list of individuals who are atheists and are renowned for being responsible citizens and humans [whatever the fuck that means to begin with].

List of atheist activists and educators
List of published atheist authors
List of atheists in film, radio, television, and theatre
List of well-known atheist musicians
List of atheist philosophers
List of atheist politicians and lawyers (you know, people who lead other people? Pretty hefty burden, that responsibility!)
List of atheists in science and technology, probably the longest list here (I wonder why!)
And a list of atheists in miscellaneous other professions.

No, do go on about how being christian is a requirement for being a responsible citizen and/or human being. Do enlighten me on how none of these people are of any significance!

You condescending little turd.

[Zen Badger]

Convert to christianity........

Address this if you can



This child will die young from starvation after a life of hunger,disease, misery and pain.

And then,according to your theology,will go straight to hell because it did not ask for forgiveness for the crime of being born from a god it had never even heard of.

Yet these people........



who have lied,stolen and cheated will ask for forgiveness from your egotistical god and bang! Straight into paradise.

And that folks, is what a True Christian™ would say in my humble opinion...

And for the record, the OP is a stupid loaded question and there's no way in Hades I'm going to convert to some bastardised, paganised, exclusionary, divisive POS belief system that's being passed off as "Christianity".

sw

I am a Christian.

I just noticed somebody edited the poll choices. Why? Is that allowed?

Yes, if you happen to be on staff and the poll choices insufficiently cover the possible answers. (Yes it was I who edited it.)

Where's the option for "I already am one"?

Hate to burst your bubble, but superstition was around long before your magic baby claims. Humans had made up cave gods and volcano gods and animal gods long before someone concocted your zombie god.

Oh and "responsible" is growing up and putting away mental toys, like when you give up on Santa. It was understandable back then when humans didn't know better, but you look silly now.

Do you think the earth is flat? Do you think the sun is a god? Didn't think so. Try understanding that then you'll understand why we reject your claims as well.

Zombie gods go back thousands of years before Christianity if you mean gods who die and are then brought back to life for spring/Easter and the renewal life. They tend to stay dead for three days as well, this matches with the dark moon of the lunar cycle.
