...that there was a God... not their was a God.

Sorry I have been using their so many times lately on automatic I used it in place of there.

I believe we agree. Atheists are basically frightened people because they dont believe in God , they look for security among each other.Homosexuals want the security blanket of approval for their sickness.

I think it goes even further. I think they’re looking for approval from those who DO believe in God.

I think it’s for one of two reasons.

Either they feel more secure about their eternal destiny if someone who believes in God thinks they’re OK, as if having the believer be willing to accept them means that God will be willing to accept them after all if they’re wrong.

Or because they feel it justifies their position because it tells them that the believers faith isn’t real or in a real God. So they can point to the believer and conclude that what the believer believes isn’t real or the believer wouldn’t compromise his faith or be hypocritical like that.

(I hope that makes sense.)

Kind of like drug users often don’t and won’t believe that not *everybody* has tried drugs. Or homosexuals think that *everybody* has homosexual leanings, they just deny them.

That way they can figure that they’re really not worse than everyone else, but in fact, they’re really better because at least they’re being *honest* about themselves and who they are.

In other words...this is another made up news story to support a further some “journalist” leftist ideals.

“I am not particularly religious. That is why I am not an Atheist.”

I hate to be picky but there are a huge number of errors of varying kinds in your posts. Is there some reason for that?

[JimSEA]

I think you likely do. Absolute certainty about the unknowable
is foolish IMO and very much the same as any religious fanaticism.
I don't know but respect the beliefs of others, take my values from
religious beliefs and writings and respect many but not all
religions. The atheists have too many similarities to Islamists in
their fervor for me.
