You know, I should be sad that perfect lady and those of you cheering her on don’t know Jesus, but I find that, perhaps because I am not mature enough in my faith yet to feel otherwise, I feel more pity for you because you’re the sort of miserable bungholes who would cheer on a meanspirited and bigoted post like that.
Before I go on, don’t assume I’m writing this way out of hurt feelings or a feeling of persecution. No, not even close. Not even on the same continent.
You see, you claim reason and you claim offense for harsh things said by believers on this forum, but I can’t help thinking of my two brothers and so many of my unchurched friends. Some of them are gay and one of them (my best man, in fact) is an atheist. Like you, they don’t have Jesus. Unlike you, they would never think of hating pople who think differently than them, especially those who express a hope that they will change their lives and spend eternity in a place too wonderful to describe.
In short, you have the stench of Bill Maher on you.
Chris Hitchens was a smart man and a brilliant writer, but he and to many secularists are bigoted morons when it comes to “reason” versus faith because they can see the difference between, say, Steven Hawking and Pol Pot but not the difference between Thomas Aquinas and Fred Phelps or C. S. Lewis and Osama bin Laden. They’re no better than the sort of Christian who believes every atheist (or every sceintist, etc.) thinks like Peter Singer.
And yet they claim to be rational, claim to be rejecting a mere “Imaginary Friend,” claim to be too noble to kow-tow to “bullies.” They call that “reason” and say it’s the best the West has to offer.
Sad. Just sad. It must suck to be that miserable.
I don't hate Christians. I've always said, "Christians will nag you, but Muslims will kill you." I just think you have incredibly bad manners to come drooling over the not-yet-cool body to assure each other that unlike YOU, he's not going to Heaven (smirk, smirk). If you people had a modicum of manners, we'd all get along a lot better. And you'd all be a better advertisement for what you believe. But that's not hatred. If I hate someone, I want to kill them. I just want to avoid you. We stay off your devotional threads. It'd be lovely if you had a trace of decency and could see a time and place that it is inappropriate for your nonsense.
That is bullshit
NOBODY deserves heaven. It is only by the grace of God. Nobody knows who goes where.
I am a Christian. I refuse to believe that heaven is an arrogant country club full of people that think exactly alike. If we get there, we will be stunned when we see some people there who we would least expected. In short, nobody knows exactly who is going where.
You should be sad because you are an incredibly stupid bigot.
A person with your obvious lack of intelligence couldn't possibly understand Hitchens, and you certainly would have no idea how I feel about Jesus.
You're certainly an abysmal representative of Christianity.
Were you drunk when you wrote that post? Or am I right that you are just an incredibly stupid dolt?
