Sorry but against all my best will and judgement I've really got to comment on this.

Your opinion of Catholicism is so skewed it just reeks of bigotry and borders on sectarionism.

I was raised in the Roman Catholic faith, (I am now an avowed Agnostic so all the vehement posturing here fills me with amusement!), and I can assure you that they 100% believe in the will and the teachings of Jesus Christ, hence they are Christians.

That their interpretation of his teachings differ slightly to yours is nothing special.
There are literally hundreds of Christian denominations.

Obviously in the true spirit of Christianity yours is the only true interpretation and Big G's Afterlife Private Members Club will only be open to you and your fellow true believers.

Oh yeah yeah I couldn't quite put my finger on it before but then you started coming off like another well known theist on these boards who claims he is the arc angel Michael. Not that I have a problem with that,, but as Atheist always say,, extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.

I think it's time everyone here gets a good look at just who we are are in the presence of don't you ? I mean after all,, Excretable_Boy,, You DO have an advantage over us theists do you not? Isn't it true that you believe in the supernatural? Yet here you are attacking those who might listen to you having a similar convictions. One would wonder why you do not also attack the atheist for their blatant refusal to believe in supernatural phenomena?

It would be interesting to say the least watching THEM tear you apart having the same gift for circumlocution you have. You attack Christianity, while you plagiarize from its concepts and ideas then start threads suggesting some extraordinary claim about the number 666 speaking as an authority a special messenger of the supernatural. As you have done here, you had done there, scoffing at rebuttals enticing Christians to engage you while willfully ignoring anything they say regardless of its credence for THAT is your intention, to cause wasted time as the silly Christians defend their faith as if they had a chance to convince you.

Christians,, take heed when I tell you NOT to consider this persons post as anything more then what I have stated. We may argue back and forth with other Atheists and although I may get angry even frustrated at times with the likes of some,, YOU have only the capacity to have us jump through hoops taking advantage of our willingness to correct the wrongs someone like YOU engages in not for Atheism, not against Christianity,, YOU do it
While Atheists may enjoy the benefit of your Antagonism I will submit that it has nothing to with that common denominator that, that single position as Madd calls it.

I have seen the signs before and you are not like the others are you .

No You are above ALL of us Atheist Theist and anyone else. You may exploit the naivety of the Christians on this discussion but that is only because they are less likely to abandon you while you know Atheists wouldn't waste another second arguing with someone so special as you.

Me,, however,, I am not like those Christians, that would question their own sanity before they question yours.

You DO know what I am Talking about do you NOT? I am certain by this time in your life beloved,, you have heard the descriptions more then once but Oh how hard it is to get someone who is never wrong to listen.

I am not using that to describe you in the same way I would self righteous Atheists for I know their real anger may be mis-directed or even justified while yours,, comes from another place.

No,, what I have seen from you is classic and un mistakenly clear. I have seen you display an arrogant, haughty, patronizing, or contemptuous behavior and attitude. Albeit it true Christians may have seemed to demonstrate the same and I can say Atheists do too but YOURS however is somehow different is it not?

Yes Readers, who we have here is someone so special, so important that unless we are among this "special" class of people, then you are worthless to him in his eyes. For this writer,, has a reason for being being capricious, arbitrary, sadistically judgmental, don't you Mr_boy?

yes this is in fact a "special"
agent of God, who hears the voice of God and talks to him but unlike the holy Spirit which I find no words can explain the telepathic connection in that symbiotic flesh blood relationship we have asked for, YOU sir, have something quite different going on in your mind. I know the signs an have reasons for that I will not disclose in public and while you may challenge my authority, I will diffuse your challenge by throwing myself out to be judged and ridiculed. You on the other hand bear false witness and will not allow yourself to be tested as prescribed by scripture you don't believe is the word of God. You wouldn't even entertain it just to humor me would you? I know you will mock my suggestion but know that what you say is so utterly false so worthy of both Atheists and Christians Rebuke for it is wrong on so many levels but impossible to correct.

I know the signs of Narcissism and I know when to abandon you as the only rational way of dealing with you. Discarding them as cavalier as a dixie cup after a drink from the water cooler. You see Narcissists are incorrigibly and notoriously difficult to change. Unless we care to cater to your incessant need to be right when that need is always in jeopardy, you have not even given those who have taken the time to research your assertions an iota of consideration and not because they are Christians, Not because you are an Atheist but for the simple reason that you see us asking or challenging you as contemptuous that anyone even consider questioning your divine connection to God.

You rationalize contempt for them as they are so far beneath you.

I regret to say this but I am afraid I must, you see,, because I actually care about these Christians, and inspite of what they think, I care about those Atheist too. Even as difficult as we make life for each other I still do.

You,, require the kind of attention I am afraid to suggest is the very kind you are going to get.

Christians, Just Ignore this person and suggest this post to save time as to the reasons why. You know I don't ask you to do this, in fact you know i encourage all of you to engage them with relentless tireless resolve. The reason I am telling you this isn't because he is so intelligently superior,, It is because he requires the kind of attention none of us are qualified to give.

I will tell you what I know is true and unlike these Atheists, what you demonstrate is your argumentative nature,

not your ability to argue.


I Do Hope you seek help and I mean that


more then you know.

Aren't you all that and a bag of chips with your negative 6000 points. You obviously have a lot of marvelous things to say on here. I'm narcissistic? Did you read the book you just posted? You think you can tell everyone on this thread to ignore me? I'm sorry, did someone make you god of the religious forum?

What would shrinks call this?...reversal?

I might have to take a break to eat my dinner....but I just HAVE to dive into your novella:

HELLO! What are you on about here? You compare me to someone that thinks he's an angel? And this has what to do with me?

Where are my extraordinary claims? My claim that Christianity is evil? It is evil.


I think it's time everyone here gets a good look at just who we are are in the presence of don't you ? I mean after all,, Excretable_Boy,, You DO have an advantage over us theists do you not?

Who we are in the presence of? Who are you? I believe in God (I would say that He is supernatural). I haven't attacked anyone. Why would I attack Atheists? They don't have to agree with me. It's a free world. Everyone has a right to believe what they want, do they not?

Or, is everyone only allowed to believe what YOU believe otherwise they are some kind of leper that should be ignored?


You attack Christianity, while you plagiarize from its concepts and ideas then start threads suggesting some extraordinary claim about the number 666 speaking as an authority a special messenger of the supernatural. As you have done here, you had done there, scoffing at rebuttals enticing Christians to engage you while willfully ignoring anything they say regardless of its credence for THAT is your intention, to cause wasted time as the silly Christians defend their faith as if they had a chance to convince you.



Plagiarize what? I have read numerous books on numerous philosophies and have my own faith based on what made sense to me. My thread about 666 is another thread. Why bring it up here? I spoke as an authority? of the supernatural? I discussed what the number 666 meant to me in my life.

I have ignored nothing. I certainly didn't ignore this book you wrote did I? Convince me? Why do I need convincing? I believe what I believe. There is no convincing required or going to happen.


You DO know what I am Talking about do you NOT? I am certain by this time in your life beloved,, you have heard the descriptions more then once but Oh how hard it is to get someone who is never wrong to listen.



Know what you're talking about? Some sort of delusional gibberish. If I was in the same room with you, I would see your mouth moving but all I would hear was, "Blah Blah Blah....."


I am not using that to describe you in the same way I would self righteous Atheists for I know their real anger may be mis-directed or even justified while yours,, comes from another place.



What place would that be?


No,, what I have seen from you is classic and un mistakenly clear. I have seen you display an arrogant, haughty, patronizing, or contemptuous behavior and attitude. Albeit it true Christians may have seemed to demonstrate the same and I can say Atheists do too but YOURS however is somehow different is it not?



Classic? Different? How so? Indulge me......I'm fascinated!


yes this is in fact a "special" agent of God, who hears the voice of God and talks to him but unlike the holy Spirit which I find no words can explain the telepathic connection in that symbiotic flesh blood relationship we have asked for, YOU sir, have something quite different going on in your mind.

WOW! I'm a special agent of God now? Dude....re-read this and tell me who should be in therapy!

That's enough of that. I'm narcissistic? Re-read some of your "lengthy" posts." I would suggest working on yourself and not worrying about me. I would also suggest medication.

God bless you!

edit to add: just had dinner with the missus and it was delicious. Dude, I figured it out. YOU were talking about yourself in your novella. Look at the lengthy posts you have written toward untold numbers of members here. The bizarre, delusional tangents. Look at your points? Why do you keep getting spanked by the mods? Dude, do you want to talk about it? Come on, we're all friends here!

NWO can correct me if I am wrong but I do not believe he is a Christian.

Judging people by their points now, are we? Nothing but puerile nonsense. And that is pretty much as far as I read of your comment, to be honest.

Ash, I think if you re-read his posts on the last few pages he certainly displays a pro-Christian stance.
But that's as it is.
He believes what he believes and I respect that.
He just seems to dismiss a huge percentage of Christians as being non-Christian because of their belief in papal infallibility etc, despite it being an integral part of both Jesus's teachings and St Paul's interpretation.

As you know, I have no particular axe to grind.
I genuinely find it an interesting but ultimately irrelevant debate.

As I stated before, there are literally hundreds of Christian denominations, each of which believes itself to be the true interpretation.

He definitely defends spirituality and faith regularly- but he's not a Christian. Can't remember what he said he believed (spiritualist/animist/pagan/theist/can't remember!) but I don't think he is a Christian. Just saying. I probably should have stayed out of it and, again, he can totally correct me if I'm wrong. I remember thinking before he was a Christian until he corrected me. Unless I lost my mind and am not remembering correctly!

No probs Ash, he is what he is and quite rightly expresses himself as he see's fit.
I have absolutely no problem with him or his beliefs.
I just contest his statement about Catholics not being Christian.
They certainly believe themselves to be following the "true" interpretation of Jesus Christ and his teachings.
Hence they are Christian.

NWO at least seems to have put some considerable thought into his beliefs and doesn't blindly follow any religious dogma or creed.

I'm absolutely certain he'll correct either or both of us if or when he see's fit.

Feel better, now? Now, I have better things to do. Later

Edit: If you would finish reading the thread, you would see that this has already been addressed to the satisfaction of everyone. Okay?

It is difficult, none the less, for the ordinary man to cast off orthodox beliefs, for he is seldom allowed to hear the other side.... Whereas the Christian view is pressed on him day in and day out.

—Margaret Knight

source: www.positiveatheism.org


Pretty radical those crazy Atheists! Seems to be a legitimate and edcuated opinion brought forth by Ms. Knight. I'm not seeing the evil or desire to overthrow Christianity in that statement or in any on that site.

If this how INTENSE all these crazy Atheist's sites are I will assume that I don't need to bother checking any more of them out. Atheists aren't knocking on doors trying to spread the word, they aren't having TV shows with multi-millionaire con-artists to spread the word, etc......


thank uou for your very civil reply and explanation. this is why i am asking. what's funny is that on what few actual atheist websites that i have visited, there does seem to be a willingness for civil discussion. it's mostly here that i see all the bashing going on. and almost hate between the two groups.



Sizzle...you state right here yourself that the Atheists sites you have gone to seem to be civil. So I have to ask, where is the big conspiracy?

Is it kind of like "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" and all the Atheists are cloning all the Christians and when the new ones pop out of their pods, they too will be Atheists?

If the Atheists on their sites are expressing their OPINIONS in a civil way, what is the problem? It appears you and others are trying to create a problem.

What about Jews? They don't believe that Jesus is the messiah as I do not. Are all the Jews wrong? Do you hate them? Would you be happier if there were no Jews on the planet?


Melatonin,
Religious beliefs make no sense to the non-believer. Whereas, they make perfect sense to the believer. Before I became spiritually born-again, I had a lot of problems with the bible. Now, all that is changed. I completely understand now.



Sizzle, again a quote from you. What you are saying is what you believe makes sense to you. That is fantastic. What I believe makes perfect sense to me also, yet you think it is wrong. Do you see the difference between me and you? You feel that because something makes sense to you, it should make sense to everyone else. I, on the other hand, have faith that makes sense to me and could care less if it makes sense to anyone else or not. It is mine.

You have spent 44 pages here trying to figure people out that don't believe what you believe and get them to believe what you believe. Why? Do you know what Live and Let Live means? Do you know what Love Thy Neighbor means?

Love Thy Neighbor does not mean: "Love thy neighbor if thy neighbor is like thyself, otherwise hate thy neighbor and try to convert thy neighbor."

They can be radical and dangerous. Did Sizzle specify a country? Don't think so... See your looking at the world with a western point of view. Atheists have taken over Russia, China and North Korea etc. (most of the worlds population) and believe me they did overthrow religion there by using whatever means necessary. May be not all atheists but the tack record speaks for itself.



I look at the world with a world point of view. Atheists most certainly have NOT taken over Russia, China and North Korea.

Example: Russia is predominantly Russian Orthodox which is Christian.
source:
www.russianembassy.org...

About 72% fall into this catagory (Russian Orhtodox) and about 18% fall into "no denomination" which could mean many things besides Atheist. Don't confuse religion with faith.

China? up to 80% Buddhist and Taoist and about 3% Christian. And about 14% non-religious which again, doesn't necessarily mean they are Atheist. Again, don't confuse religion with faith!
source: en.wikipedia.org...

North Korea? Mainly Buddhism and Confuscianism and a small minority of Christians. No mention of non-religious groups.
source: en.wikipedia.org...


Oh yeah...those crazy Atheists are taking over the planet!!
