Dear Atheists: what would convince you God/Christ is Real?

Anyone who can raise his right hand, over the Bible, for e.g. and say solemnly and sincerely, " I believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God, I accept Him as my Lord and Savior, I repent of my sins, and I'm striving to follow Him", is a Christian. Is not Christ better to follow than Hume or Marx? Than Nietzche, that Atheist who died a practical Nihilist in an Insane Asylum? If Atheism is true, life becomes dull and meaningless, and hopeless hedonism or misery, as he understood all too well. Christianity instead counsels enjoying the good things of this life, but without sin, as for e.g. King Solomon the wise says in many of his Biblical Writings. So married Christian Couples can and should enjoy sexual love for e.g. like the same King says, but should abhor adultery and sexual sin. And the same applied to other aspects of life, just like Adam and Eve should have enjoyed the 1000 legitimate fruits of the garden, instead of that one forbidden fruit. In this way, we are called to live a life of partial happiness here on Earth, while waiting for the Perfect Happiness of Heaven. 20 Centuries of Christian Saints are witness to the fact that such a life is easy and is possible for people from any and all states of life.

God Bless.

Just did it. When does it start working?

Oh, man, you probably don't realize how weird it is to believe that. Don't get me wrong, I could raise my right hand over anything and say the magic words...but do you really think that would make me christian?

Adultery, sexual sin? These things are no issue for me. I'm a deeply committed serial monogamist with a family brood to shame an ant colony. It's the goddamned preachers and fundies that keep getting found out underneath the poolboy smoking crack. I'm so vanilla it's fucking embarrassing in good company. A real party killer.

King Solomon™ was a wizard. My christian relationship collapsed like flan in a cupboard. Pagan values are what makes us stronk like oak now. Your jesus shit is dollar store consumerism...to me. When the entire world forgets that your god ever existed...like so many gods before it, people like me will still be here, still doing the same shit, still relevant. Still happy. Meanwhile, you'll be a footnote in some future middle school social studies book about the pre-fall world, lol. Begging folks like us for goceries.

-and we'll give em to ya, because we're not assholes.

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.

Ok, then. As long as we're still breathing, there's always time for all of us. Jesus and Mary are waiting, and a Heavenly Banquet has been prepared. Angels are singing, Saints rejoicing, there are beautiful trees, lovely oceans, wonderful flowers, everything we've seen here below, but so much more, in God's Paradise, for as Saint Paul puts it: "Eye has not seen, ear has not heard, all the wonders that the Lord God has prepared for those who love Him", and those simple words also tell us all that is really necessary to go to Heaven: to love God. One should love God for His own sake, but one can start by loving Him at least for Paradise' sake. If your Father was a Rich King, or to say it differently, if a Noble King wanted to adopt Poor Children from the street, and give them His Palace, should not the children in turn love the King very much? They ought to love Him for His own sake, but at least let them begin to love Him for the Palace's sake/for Paradise's sake. Jesus Christ said: "In My Father's House there are many mansions", and when you get there, you will see His Word is True.

As for this or that preacher, who may not be truly living Christ's Word, don't judge Christ by them. Examine Christ by His own Word and His own Life.

Did Christ practice what He preached? Yes. Did He say, you forgive your enemies, while refusing to forgive His? No, He died with a prayer of love and forgiveness of His enemies on His lips. Jesus Christ died as He lived, with love and forgiveness for all who would receive it. Jesus Christ is the Lord.

Ah, another blatant lie from JJoseph. Jesus has built a special place of torture for his enemies.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Fuck, we mortal beings have enough time to kill some jew over how often we jack our own dicks? IDK man, seems like it might take me more time than I have in my life to be okay with that. How much time did it take you to be okay with it?

RE: Dear Atheists: what would convince you God/Christ is Real?
You should research the 60 MILLION Christians and other Innocents killed by Godless Atheist People in Orthodox Christian Russia, when they turned it into the Atheistic Soviet Union. Then you see what kind of Hell-Hole of Hatred evil men turn God's green Earth into when they behave like Devils. The Just and Holy Fear of Hell-Fire can keep a man from falling into that kind of evil.

Nevertheless, I agree with those Catholic Theologians, who believe a great part of humanity, perhaps 50%, perhaps even 66%+ (like 2/3rds of the Angels were saved), or perhaps even more, depending on the prayers and actions of the Church, and of Christians, and also of course the free will choices of unbelievers. God has the right to practice Peace through Strength, just like nations practice it, especially when there are such Mass Murdering Communist Atheists like Joseph Stalin running around. But if people repent, as many Saints say, even in their last moments, the Merciful Judge commutes their Eternal Sentence to a lengthy period of time in Purgatory instead. God is Merciful and Just.

60 million, you say? Sounds like a good start, but obviously more work needs to be done to finally rid the world of the degenerate offender.
