Isn't it funny...

[Pat Mustard]

Jesus is NOT God, he made it perfectly clear plenty of times! Save these verses and use them as ammo to shoot down those mushbrained fundies who try to say he was God, I have great fun slapping them around all over the internet..
Jesus said -"Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone" (Luke 18:19)
Jesus said - "I am going to the Father, for my Father is greater than I" (John 14:28 )
Jesus said - "Only God knows when Judgment Day will be, I don't know myself" (Mark 13:32)
High Priest asks - "Are you the Son of God?" ,Jesus replies - "I am" (Mark 14:61)
Jesus said - "I say nothing of my own accord, I only say what my father tells me to say.." (John 12:49)
God himself said - "This is my beloved son, listen to him" (Matt 17:5)

You can argue with all the other gullible twits that say Jesus is God. That is a debate I could give don't give a shit about. I have been told by my own pentecostal family that Jesus is god. I say he never existed.

I'd love to see this citation for soldiers dying holding bibles. Google searches turn up nothing.

What are you, fucking 12 years old?  Geez, I'd like to be in the position to sell you something.  You seem to believe anything.

One it's not true . And you have yet to back it up .

Well there's an old saying- "There are no atheists in foxholes"..
And a stretcher-bearer in WW1 told how when they went out to collect bodies from no mans land, they found that many wounded soldiers had crawled into shell craters and had died there clutching their bibles..

There's another old saying.  You can't fix stupid.

---

And "No atheists in foxholes", is a fabrication.

Let me clarify- it's an old jokey saying that means atheists might well be in foxholes, but when the bombs and shells start coming in they problably murmur a prayer under their breath..

Let me clarify.  We know what it means.  It's as false as your posts.

But believers love to claim such things happening with a bible as a "miracle"..

Some hardcore fundies might claim that, but most enlightened christians see nothing miraculous in it and know a copy of "Lady Chatterley's Lover" or whatever would have the same bullet-stopping power..

Enlightened christian is an oxymoron.  Or your typical christian re-defining of the word "enlightened.

I was not a combat troop, but I was a military firefighter. I can tell you, when the shit hit the fan on a fireground, we were far too busy working to bother with your god nonsense -- even the most devout weren't praying, they were manhandling handlines.

You ever served in uniform?

Yes there are all sorts of people in foxholes and in the military, atheist or otherwise..

It's a good thing no one is saying that all military men are atheists.

You're new to this reading thing, huh?

Well, if it's old, it must be true, eh?

Unless you just discount all the atheists who have been under fire without calling on God. Everybody comes close to death at one point or another, so many of us are in a position to know our reaction when it was us. I had open heart surgery, when I went under I didn't know if I would ever wake up again; and it never occurred to me to pray or call out to God.

[Whateverist]

I accept evolution, but I do think God was behind it and planned for things to line up so perfectly the way they did.

Evolution is a pretty extravagant pathway to get to what we have today.  Or don't you think He had any intention to reach our current diversity of creatures in advance?  Maybe God just sat back enjoyed the show, content to wind up with whatever creatures prevailed.  All that business of being made in His image might just be the sort of tale a narcissistic creature likes to tell itself.

But I've always thought theists should claim evolution rather than fight it.  Why not?

Endarkenment? An endarkened christian? That kind of works in most cases. Resist evolution, disparage the power of human reason. These are the strategies of endarkenment.

"No atheists in foxholes"

LMAO

One of my high-school/college buddies served in Iraq. He was, literally, one of the guys going door-to-door searching for combatants. An incredibly dangerous job, one which, thankfully, he made it back from fully intact. He was an atheist when I met him and is an atheist now.

That saying is as laughable as it is insulting. No, atheists aren't 'faking it'. No, atheists don't lack conviction. No, you are not somehow superior to atheists because you believe in an imaginary friend. Get the fuck out of here with that weak shit, and get over yourself.

Nah mate but I've seen plenty of war films on TV, and I've won trophies for online computer wargaming under my fighting name "PoorOldSpike"..

Good for you mate, most Christians wouldn't do that either, they'd just quietly mumble- "Your will be done",  that's what Jesus said when he knew he was to be killed next day.

A single book won't stop a bullet you gullible fucking idiot.

As a - ahem- computer wargaming champion under my fighting name 'PoorOldSpike' I can assure you that it depends on the angle of impact, velocity and calibre etc as to whether a slug would penetrate a book or wooden fence or flak vest etc..

[downbeatplumb]

If you grew up in a Pentecostal family it must have been like growing up in a cuckoos nest, they wave their hands in the air and jabber in 'tongues' like friggin monkeys, so if they told you Jesus is not God tell them "bollox"..
PS- If you think JC never existed, who was it the population of Israel and the Roman garrison saw strutting his stuff for 3 long years, Buzz Lightyear?
"Large crowds from Galilee, the Ten Cities, Jerusalem, Judea and the region across the Jordan followed him" (Matt 4:25)

Heck, he was almost as big as Elvis and the similarities are uncanny!-
"After Jesus spent the night in prayer,everybody tried to touch him because power was coming from him" (Luke 6:12-19)

Comparing Jesus to Elvis? A hillbilly hack who stole all his material from more talented locals. You might be on to something there!

I have always hated the music of elvis and find his singing like nails down a chalk board.
I'm not a fan.

Well, that lends authority to your opinion.

HEY, the 'Edit' function don't seem to work after a certain length of time, for examp I went back to correct a typo error in one of my posts but I can't get in!
For the record I said the stupid Pentecostals think Jesus was not God, but I meant to say the stupid Pentecostals think Jesus was  God.
Fact is, he made it clear plenty of times that he wasn't God..
