I understand that this is the Religious forum, but why must it be clogged with individuals insisting we repent, and save our souls? I thought this forum was for discussion, not witnessing, testifying and converting?
"The End is Nigh!, Doom on You!" is all we hear! Sooo tired of hearing that god and christ is the only path to my salvation, and Ima gonna burn if I dont accept the word of an unproven entity that passes judgement on all, decides whose prayer is worthy of answering.
So, let me get this right. All the previous gods were all wrong or false, then suddenly this..judeo,christian, trinity, all powerful, king og gods is the "one" true god?

I believe you but:

One thing we can be sure of here. These words live as long as they are searchable on the internet. The spirit can lead the right eyes here.
...you would think that they would read the history lessons, and the true stories of what they thought as myths, they would know better. But no.

The origin of the words to the Three blind mice rhyme are based in English history. The 'farmer's wife' refers to the daughter of King Henry VIII, Queen Mary I. Mary was a staunch Catholic and her violent persecution of Protestants led to the nickname of 'Bloody Mary'. The reference to 'farmer's wife' in Three blind mice refers to the massive estates which she, and her husband King Philip of Spain, possessed.
The 'three blind mice' were three noblemen who adhered to the Protestant faith who were convicted of plotting against the Queen - she did not have them dismembered and blinded as inferred in Three blind mice - but she did have them burnt at the stake!
Yeah, been hearing that "End is Nigh" thing all of my rather long life. As a child in church, I was convinced that Jesus was coming in just a few days, and I had better be careful of what I do.
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
By antique, you imply that God changes over time.

PRECISELY!!!
I invite you to read The Evolution of God by Robert Wright...and you can see (if you read it) in a timeline linear sort of fashion how he HAS changed over time. Very much so.

Do not be afraid, though briers and thorns are all around you and you live among scorpions.
Wow.
Again, wow.
I'm a scorpiO, but not a scorpiON......
Iason.....seriously?
Just yesterday you were all about 'tolerance and peace', which lasted for about 20 minutes...then you started in again with the condemnation and loud rhetoric.
Dude, I totally respect your story of your revelation...but....really?
Do you NOT understand that everyone has to have that same 'revelation' on their own??
I thought this too, and at one time, it was a discussion board. In recent times, things have gotten bad in these religious forums. It started with one member, then there were two, then three, then four, and I have lost count now. I know i must be on a lot of "foe" lists in ATS. And the funny thing, being as it takes 20 posts to be able to make a thread, and these people surely post mostly in the Religious threads, you would think that they would read the history lessons, and the true stories of what they thought as myths, they would know better. But no.

Repentance is a change of thought to correct a wrong and gain forgiveness from a person who is wronged. In religious contexts it usually refers to confession to God, ceasing sin against God, and resolving to live a more responsible and humane life. It typically includes an admission of guilt, a promise or resolve not to repeat the offense; an attempt to make restitution for the wrong, or in some way to reverse the harmful effects of the wrong where possible. en.wikipedia.org...
How can you reconcile the nature of infinity with your comments?
I was referring to this site. People don't come to learn anything from us, they come here to try to make us look like idiots.
