When Atheists Attack (Each Other)

It's up to you to take that step of faith.

I have taken that step of faith, many times actually, and found the answer wanting. To use your analogy, like sitting down, only to find that the chair was pulled out from under me.

Now I look before I sit down to make sure the chair is there.

[LeGrande]

But I also know that you were still grousing about the Bible which is not an atheist tome and it is neither mentioned in the title nor contained in the article. So stop grousing(unless you believe in it).

Fine. Then prove (or at least provide some evidence) that there is a God or run away. I know you have no evidence (or proof) all you have is the words of a bunch of Jews. I point out the flaws in the Bible because that is the only argument that you have that there is a God.

Guess not. Hank

They may have been busy this weekend.

There’s lots of wisdom in there for us to keep in mind.

Like THIS idiotic claim?

Their theology even holds them blameless, they can commit no sin because they are Saved by the Blood of Christ.

[Elsie]

I love the fact Christianity is NOT about a book. It's about a way we should treat each other based on an example given to us by this LOVE coming to us in the form of a man.

Me, too!

John 6:28-29 (niv)

Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”

Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”

[Elsie]

You know, you folks are really nasty human beings.
Each of your posts is full of personal attacks.

HMMmm...

I'll have to keep this in mind.

[Elsie]

Each of your posts is full of personal attacks

Exactly -- and yet they are the first to complain about "personal attacks" when one uses their tactics against them. Pompous pharisees

InDEED!!!

Luke 18:9-14

To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everyone else, Jesus told this parable:

“Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.’
“But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’
“I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”

Yep. I think that's an accurate description of the "bahble bleavin" born againers. They sure do act that way on a very consistent basis. The goofs think they "know" they're already saved so it doesn't matter how much they fail to emulate Christ.

They can be as nasty and hateful as they want to be towards their fellow man, and they "know" God has already forgiven them. The pages of this forum are flooded with examples of the ugly hate that seems to go hand in hand with the born againers.

There is no LOVE. There is no Christ. There's just their Magic Book and all be damned that believe every word written in it.

[Elsie]

They also reduce God to just a book, they reduce the Word of God to just the Written Word.

Instead of showing by example, instead of talking about what they believe, they attack

Amen, Brother!

I just HATE when they do that!

[Elsie]

The Written Word, being written in man's language is open to flawed interpretation as we witness, while in orthodoxy the interpretation of the Written Word is found.

Amen, Brother!

We'll tell 'em what it means!

[getoffmylawn]

... should read “There’s just their Magic Book and all be damned that DON’T believe every word written in it.”

[Elsie]

...we know that Judaism has, ah, evolved a lot in its understanding of the biblical texts over the past 1800 years -

HMMmm...

[Elsie]

And her in-your-face attitude doesn't help in that regard because it's not constructive.

Amen, BROTHER!!

I just REALLY hate when THAT happens!

[Elsie]

Once, I was called ugly by a toad.

[Elsie]

Hmm, half of me believes that Born Againers believe that everyone is a sinner and condemned to death and eternal damnation.

Where do those fools GET that stuff??

John 3:18
Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.

Take your pick : )

I appears that you are double minded.

[Elsie]

Take your pick : )

It appears that you are double minded.

[LeGrande]

It appears that you are double minded.

It appears that you are a double poster.

And comprehension impaired.

[Cronos]

not "we", never "I", rather Christ's message, passed down through the apostles is the centre of orthodoxy. Christ is the Word.
