The ONLY excuse good enough for God?

RE: The ONLY excuse good enough for God?
Threaten anyone into the faith today, I wonder, Ron?  Hows that been working out for you anyway? Scared converts rushing your local pews?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I haven't  made any comment about you remaining or not. Stay or go. I don't care.  The phrase 'you guys' makes it sound like we are all involved in some mass conspiracy  together. LOL

If you actually had evidence instead of throwing out bible passages like we never heard or read them before it would be interesting.
But truth is you are like every other theist out there using the bible as evidence of the bible because the bible is true. And you wonder why
you are getting a hard time. Actually use evidence the internet start using it.
Atheism is a non-prophet organization join today.

Personally I appreciate getting insightful commentary from theists. The more who stick around and participate, the better chance I eventually get some of that.

Yes! You win the prize. Actually, all of you do..... by reason of "Ignorance". And Jesus even exonerates you from the cross: "Father forgive them. For they know not what they do."

But, that "ignorance" doesn't come without a price. Not necessarily eternal damnation. But, there will be a "cost". Because the "wages of sin is death". Jesus put no stock in "blood sacrifice". Its Eternal Life that was, and is the ultimate goal. And that is what hangs in the balance. The "way" He went was to emphasis His death. He could've went any way He chose. Unfortunately, its what we demanded of Him! His purpose was to live a perfect life, and to teach us how to live to attain eternal life! Not to die horrifically. That was just the means to an end. You have it all backwards because of the way you think.

Luke 12.4-7
"I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after your body has been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him."


So, if you can get past those nailed-shut minds. And think of reasons "why", instead of "why not".... it may make "some" sense to you that just perhaps, things are the way they are in this life for a reason.

Ignorance may be the only way to heaven, for most. For me? Its not an option. "For those who much is given, much is expected." So, enjoy your blissful ignorance. But, be prepared. There is still a price according to your level of ignorance! Good Luck!

Some of that sounds identical to Zoroastrianism.

You are a moron.  Make up any answer you want since your god is made up.

Ignorance is your strongest suit.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
