"I don't even know what a Christian God is."

You don't know who the Christian God is? He is the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. The Eternal God of Judgement. The one who gave us life. The Father who sent Jesus Christ to be a substitute for our sins. If you have a Bible you must read it now. You're missing out.





"Do you mean the one in the Bible; a collection of plagerized stories from other previous cultures? I guess the answer is NO."

The Bible is not plagerized in any way. Why do you feel the need to capitalize the word NO? My friend, this is the true path to enlightenment. Pick up a Bible and genuinely pray to God. Let Him shower you with real love. Happy reading.

Im glad you see the contradiction. That proves that there are atheists who dont fall into the trap of becoming that which they oppose.

lol i guess so. When a Christian quotes bible passages he is brainwashed, when an atheist quotes dawkins they are educated. When christians get together and talk about god it is a church when athiests do it it is a social meeting.


Apparently when some Christians get together it is an excuse to spread hate and fear.

Perhaps this type of meetings might contribute to the rise in athiesism.


I don't know about atheism but what BOTH your threads do is spread the gospel of ignorance. What do you and hunka do this like a dog and pony or is it just dumb luck. How bout I show what an entire country does when its in a state of atheism?

Stalin ring a bell?

you are aware that many people did not believe in this god since forever right? There's practically billions of people who don't even know your god exists, and there were billions of people who didn't believe in your god in the past. saying that people will "stray" from god was prophesied in the bible is a lie, because 2000 years ago there were MANY who did not even believe in this god. (it's like me making a prophecy that the moon will come out soon).

Anyway, although I do not approve of these atheists groups that appear to become like religions, shouldn't you be happy that this is happening?

i mean isn't the end of times something many people who believe in a god are waiting for?


No you're the one that is wrong and so is your logic, you can't stray from a belief you never had so common sense would tell us the poster you are responding to is talking about those believers and their descendants.

So yes when the scriptures say the church and people in general will be against God, it is talking about the one everyone hates at that time and that would be the one anyone brings up in conversation.


Actually, many people, for several thousands of years, HAVE strayed from their own belief systems, so my logic is not incorrect.
It is possible to get out of a belief system, it's called conversion.

In addition, what kind of church would be against it's god? care to elaborate on your last points?

Hey, do you honestly think statistics really matter? Who counts every individual on the planet? When you estimate, that is what is comes up to. No need for cursing by the way.


Hi, Water!

I hope I didn't sound abrasive in my reply to you up top. The quote is from Mark Twain and it's poking fun at all the statistics in the world we have and sometimes end up believing without question. The "damned lies" is part of the quote, so I was not cursing towards you or anyone. I just wanted to clear that up. I was hoping that the smiley at the end would let people know that my reply was to be taken as humor.

But aye, I don't think statistics matter at all hence the quote. You've answered it spot on in your reply as well - who would indeed count all the people in the world in order to make a claim that 2 billion so and so believe in this and that? It would be tedious, thus the statistics are estimated and not accurate at all, because in order for them to be accurate you would indeed have to count the billions of people in the world.

Here are two of my favorite quotes on statistics:
"98% of all statistics are made up."
"Then there is the man who drowned crossing a stream with an average depth of 6 inches." - W.I.E. Gates

the whole point is they are standing up to the unconstitutional "backslide", as they put it, which has been growing throughout the US, concerning separation of church and state.

It's more or less a political movement in the sense that we (myself included) are fed up with the religious influence in government and law and everything in between.
