As a former Christian, I was on the edge of deconversion for many months. It was the atheists that I interacted with that helped me to make up my own mind to stop believing. I was never offered anything more than the truth backed with reason and evidence, which is much more than I can say for the Christian crowd and their weak arguments and faulty proofs. I am not interested in deconverting anyone - that's a personal decision. I am however, available to offer the same truth and reasoning that once helped me to decide, and I find Christians responding well to a truth long sought, but having spent a lifetime behind the veil of religious lies and butchery.


What "proof" and "evidence" did your new brothers against the Lord give you? Seriously!

You found "truth and reasoning"?

What religious lies and butchery did Jesus commit?

What could an atheist say that is [absolute] in your mind and heart against Christ? Another question perhaps? Is that your definitive answer? Another question?

Over and over again, atheists use people to judge God, on both sides of the issue. When both have flawed logic.

And over and over again Jesus tells us that "men's ways, are not my ways". So if Jesus sides with no man.... what's not to like about Him?

Why keep persecuting Jesus? Was being nailed to the cross not enough for you?

If you were a "true" independent thinker... you would be affirming Jesus' Word, and condeming man on all counts! There is only ONE TRUTH! And it isn't from any man.

Only lies come from men.

Psalms 31:18, "Let the lying lips be put to silence;" Amen

And that is my prayer for atheists.

I do not need to see the atrocious things theists do in the name of their unholy religion in order to know that god is evil.

Just reading the bible and using my reading comprehension skills informs me that god is an evil psychopath.

I'll listen to christ when he comes down off his cloud and talks to me face to face. And even then, I may not believe him.

First question would be "can you do that AGAIN?"
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

It would have been clearer to state that they showed my my faulty reasoning in believing fantasy tales from Christianity.
ronedee Wrote:You found "truth and reasoning"?
I found truth in coming to an awareness that Christianity is a scam perpetrated on humanity, and I did so using a reasonable approach (testing what I could demonstrate based upon experience - not unlike you do in reaching your own conclusions).
ronedee Wrote:What religious lies and butchery did Jesus commit?
I doubt the Jesus of the bible actually existed; to me, his entire existence constitutes one big lie.
ronedee Wrote:What could an atheist say that is [absolute] in your mind and heart against Christ?
They would need only point to his bigotry, hatred, baseless judgment and divisiveness to sway me from his fold.
ronedee Wrote:Is that your definitive answer?
Yes.

I don't disagree with this statement.

Everything, clearly.
ronedee Wrote:Why keep persecuting Jesus? Was being nailed to the cross not enough for you?
Was it not enough for you, that you are here defending him?

Says a man.

Pray only for our silence, and weep not for the souls of the men your god accuses without merit.
