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.'

I love you all, you're all my brothers and sisters. So I have made a commitment. I am going on a fast until I convert at least one of you. Please, just accept Jesus into your heart, he loves all of you. One simple prayer and he will upon up all your doubts towards him. God is love, he just wants you to accept his free gift. Please convert, it pains me to think some of you will be tortured forever. Oh, honey. You poor, naive thing. Okay, lemme break it down to you. We don't believe in hell. Using that as a scare tactic does nothing. There is no "bad place", and I feel sorry for you that you think it exists. You've been fed that lie your whole life in order to keep you in line. It's a damn shame. We are not your brothers and sisters. You don't love us. Let's stop using those words right now. You feel empathy for some fellow strangers, but only because you've been told we're in dire trouble. We're not. If you start fasting, you're going to die of starvation. Many of us used to be Christian and we've studied that religion quite extensively. We're not going to convert because you're trying to emotionally manipulate us with threats of harming yourself. That's ridiculous. Go eat a sandwich. Many of us have prayed before. I have. Shit, I'll tell you something personal about me. When my husband was in the hospital, I prayed. I was an atheist, but I felt so helpless, so I called out for anything up there to help him. To lessen his pain. To show me a sign. Let me know you're there! Nothing. And I'm betting I'm not the only person here with many unanswered prayers. Prayer is nothing more than emotional masturbation. It makes people feel all warm and fuzzy inside thinking that some higher power is actually listening to their piddly little problems. If god is love, there would be no hell. There would be no torture. Think about that. Get your head straight, son. We've heard all this before from those who came before you looking to bring others into the fold, but we ain't buying. It's all bullshit. Take a whiff, you'll see.  (February 27, 2014 at 6:29 pm)JesusLover1 Wrote: I am now very worried for you people. If you died tonight, you would probably go somewhere very bad.

"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."
