Wow, how profound. What does that imply, exactly? That you follow a religion ultimately created by atheists? You sure got us, hyuck, hyuck.

I have it on good authority that cavemen were quite gullible and would believe pretty much any crap they were told by someone with a halfway decent line of patter.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

Well Rhythm if the bible it's empirical evidence then you will have no problem taking it's facts at face value. Welcome aboard brother.

What you just said, makes no sense.....

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House

Sorry to disappoint!
It does seem to be your M.O.

That's when you say it. Usually, you don't say it... or if you do, you say it in such terms as to render it a very negligible point in your post, mingled in something else... This is, at least, how we perceive your post history on a given thread, concerning the subject of what it is that you believe in.
It is an uncommon approach to christianity, don't you think?

I have no interest in the question and theists are trolled with these cliches. It's boring. I don't proselytize. I don't want to. I want to discuss new ideas and explore them. If you have a problem with any of that then too bad. Go troll someone else.

But you do say you have rational reason to believe, and you never elaborate on it to us.

Is this how you should speak as a man of God? Funny how I don't cuss theists out, but theists don't do the same favor for me.

I reason my beliefs and I do nothing but discuss them here given the chance. Those are actual subjects of posts.
I'm not going to deal with tired meaningless cliches. There's no point. They've been done till death already.
Some people are only interested in what they think it's point scoring with these moronic statements.
Funny you took the insult that wasn't aimed at you. Please show me where I claimed to be perfect. I'm not God. Sorry to disappoint. I'm free to do and say whatever the fuck I want, just like you. And just like you I can do stuff to my own detriment.

But you'll go to hell if you do whatever you want. You have the divine big brother watching you. Unless you have interpreted the bible in a way that says that hell doesn't exist?

According to me, and others, you do nothing of that sort.

Probably because, as always, you keep dodging
Quote:Some people are only interested in what they think it's point scoring with these moronic statements.
You seem to care more about points than I do. I don't even think about points when I call people like you out on their bullshit.

Definitely not God, but you could at least not justify your hypocrisy. What kind of a useless purposeless God you must have if he allows you to do that without much consequences?

And you always get defensive when the subject of your beliefs (and how you keep them) arise.
I'm sorry if you saw it as trolling, I was merely stating the impression I get from you when that subject does come up... actually, originally, I was just agreeing with someone because they verbalized that impression.
Anyway.. I'm sorry. It is never my intention to troll.
