'Seeking' God

Except yourself, of course. You clearly know the truth, but everyone else is being deceived. Do you truly not see your arrogance, or do you just enjoy believing you're better than everyone else?

So, in essence, each one of you is a "prove me wrong" believer? Not really how that works, but that's okay.

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!

Lucent, please could you wipe your feet before coming into the forum? You're treading bullshit all over the place. And it stinks.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

I seem to think that part of being a Christian is believing the word of God.

Allow me to explain the conversation we just had to you. You told me that I must not be familiar with the Bible because I do not believe in demons. I went on to say that I didn't have to believe the shit in it to have read it. Then, you countered with believing being part of being a Christian. In case you haven't noticed, I am not a Christian. It is implied that I do not believe in the Bible. So, going back to my original point, believing in demons is slightly nuts. Believing you have seen one is totally nuts.

Quote:Not everyone, but anyone in contact with spiritual entities is speaking to demons.

You think you're in contact with an invisible deity, oh demon speaker.

Quote:You don't think I've heard every atheist meme to come down the pike? This is not an original thought of yours. I don't think Satan is behind the bible because only the word of God has power over demons.

You do know the definition of meme right? So, you do not think that Satan is behind the Bible because the Bible told you that only the word of god can control demons and the Bible words can control demons? That is idiotic. How do you know that is not what the demons want you to believe?

Quote:Almost every Christian knows that every false idol has a demon behind it. You're acting like I am abnormal amoungst Christians, and that isn't the true. It's a mainstream belief.

Given that Halloween is over, you can put away the strawman. I'll tell you what, if you can find one place where I said other Christians do not believe in demons, I will pray tonight. Devil You're actually so obtuse that you didn't realize that I was pointing how crazy you are for thinking you have seen demons and that billions of other people talk to them. I did not say that you are an aberration. Could you discuss my actual arguments instead of the ones you just make up to draw attention away from the parts of the conversation you can't hack?

I think I understand now what is wrong with our jesus fucktards. They think that anything that is written down is true. ( As long as it you put it between the covers of their fucking bible!)

Sick, sorry, sons-of-bitches, Shel!

There is no flaw in your logic there. I have not found a single bible thumper who isn't completely convinced of every word in the bible. I tend to have more respect for the wishy washy Christians who agree the bible is crap.
