Bad News For Evangelicals

And, Atlas, they don't think much of you either.

I know. They are free to think that, but on the other hand I won't:
1-Support terrible wars like the 2003 war on Iraq


https://www.christianpost.com/news/most-...war-31154/

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2003...snews.iraq

2-I don't need to continue. The above links are enough.

Sinning fucks with no remorse or fear of a heavenly curse. What they did to Iraq, and the division they created between Sunnies and Shiities is enough.

Everybody needs a condemning policy of some sort; I just don't think we are equal with evangelicals. Evangelical Christianity is evil stuff worthy of gangs and medieval mobs. Somebody who made the sin of Iraq is somebody without a soul. We are not the same.

I'm surprised that their clubs didn't meet the fate of ISIS.
Why? because they have "blonde women" with them?

No Minimalist; it's the same double standards that caused Che Guevara to get executed like a rat, and caused MBS to hack Kashoggi in broad day light.

Pretty sure that the sunni and shia created their own divisions, and didn't need the great satans help on that one. In any case..you're all soulless, and insomuch as you are all hilariously religious, you are indeed the same.

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.

With the modern Internet, how could modern-day evangelicals not know the tenets of their beliefs??

I remember that McDowell quote, and I actually dissected the article where he said that earlier this year.

Thanks for your very fine analysis; agree 100%!

Flippancy has ever been a poor argument. I know many Christians will use flippancy to discredit evolution and the big bang theory, and that is isn't right either. But the primary argument of atheists (in general, not all of them) is that they use logic and reason rather than blindly following whatever they are taught, but the secondary argument is flippancy, devoid of any logic or reason.

Even so, I shall answer your question. The gospel is good news for me because it tells me that my sins have been paid for and that I can be reconciled back to God. Not by being good enough, by tithing, by praying, or by reading the Scriptures, but by faith alone. This is especially good news because I could never be good enough, tithing was commanded to the Israelites, not to the church, and praying and reading the Scriptures doesn't save anyone.

Who is talking about elitism and superiority? This thread is about evangelicals being ignorant to the tenets of their faith. If they are ignorant to it, they cannot very well believe it, can they? I'm just saying some people know what they believe in because they study the Word and seek God.

I'm not sure that a person who claims a fairy tale creature has given them a pass on their many misdeeds really gets to complain about another's flippancy.

You do raise a good point at the bottom, at least, how can a person believe in something if they're ignorant of it? Who knows..and yet those very same people are certain that they believe the right things, in spite of having no idea what those right things are supposed to be. It doesn't seem to help that they, also, have "studied the Word and seek God".

From my experience here I can safely say that no two Christians believe the same thing.

For example.

Tell me what a god is please.

I've been here for years and I still have no idea.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

If you know your religion then tell me this, what is the true goal of christians; to be a) more jewish than the jews themselves or b) to be more antisemitic than Hitler?

Because both positions are advocated as essential in the various gospels.

I'm not sure which gospels you have read, but neither a) nor b) or christian 'goals'.
