  Please get some help?

  I don't get it. Lots of people believe in heaven and the Bible and all that. Are they all "crazy" also? You think, somehow, that because none of this makes sense to you that every body else is defective? What if YOU are the defective one in this case?

  My position is to respect a person's personal journey and their experience, whether they can fit God into that or not. An atheist is still a person with feelings. If that's where his mind is right now, then that's on him.

  I think I annoy people because I'm intelligent and still believe. But lots of witnesses believe. Lots of Christians believe. When the flood came, everybody was a believer. When Armageddon comes, everybody will be a believer. Until then I suppose it is just the "haves and have nots" out here sharing.

  Why you annoy me:

  I was more or less a born-in to the Borg. Like everyone else on this site, I was fooled and controlled for a long time by undereducated men with little more than a high school education, just like you Charlie.

  These were all white men with essentially the same N. European DNA, just like you Charlie.

  Their claim to the power they held was because, like you Charlie, they had special knowledge not available to the rest of us.

  Like you, Charlie, they had the correct interpretation of bible prophecy when all who had come before them had failed. Every one of their prophecies failed. Just like yours will, Charlie.

  Like you, Charlie, they claim a close, personal relationship with make believe gods – a relationship not available to the rest of you as you have pointed out.

  Like you, Charlie, they sought to elevate themselves above everyone else by pontificating their special knowledge and judgments. They and they alone have the keys to salvation.

  And like you, Charlie, they are deserving of our ridicule and exposing them for what they are – Delusional Narcissists and Charlatans of the highest order.

  Believe. Please. But keep your narcissistic, special knowledge and very close personal relationship to fairy tale make believe deities to yourself. Or prepare to experience exactly what you have experienced with this OP by the rational, analytical, evidence based and those who have had their lives altered and harmed by the very men you emulate and seek to replace.

  Hiding behind your Uriah Heep humility, when you have shown yourself to be arrogant and self important, is another reason you annoy me.

  It's not a prophecy, it's an ALERT.

  You've been talking Prophecy Prophecy Prophecy! in your OP and subsequent posts until suddenly now you're challenged to put your money where your mouth is and you've the ridiculous idea to say I'm lame? Seems like you're not quite sure what words mean or, if you are, willing to stand behind your own words.

  I'm just SHARING what is going on with me.

  Could you not? I hear from plenty of other Christians fruitcakes that want to preach the future, despite a 100% failure rate, until they get challenged. Spineless behavior like that is in abundance.

  I'm just saying, be prepared. Make sure you have extra water and some non-perishables to stay at home and off the streets for a week. Doesn't that make sense? Just in case?

  Yeah, except that's not actually what you are saying. Emergency preparedness is an excellent idea and I guarantee you I am more prepared than you for anything. Stop preaching and pretending it's just a general PSA on being prepared.

  Crazy? No. People that look at signs and try to predict the future and make up ridiculous things about the UN, martial law, the CIA and drug and gun running are, to be sure. You're average Christian is simply not investigating reality and fortunately, apathetic to the horrors their holy book commands them to commit.

  My position is to respect a person's personal journey and their experience, whether they can fit God into that or not. An atheist is still a person with feelings. If that's where his mind is right now, then that's on him.

  Ah, veiled threats. Christians often to resort to those when they can't back up their ramblings with rationality and reason.

  I think I annoy people because I'm intelligent and still believe.

  Well, you're half right.

  CharlieSmith,

  You tell these faithless heathens what's really going on. I find Deuteronomy 18:10-12 very helpful in these kind of discussions.

  I'm very disappointed you didn't find my verse helpful!

  "I think I annoy people because I'm intelligent and still believe."

  Viv, at least he is admitting that intelligent people typically don't believe, which means that he thinks believers are typically not intelligent. The only intelligent thing he said in 8 pages.

  Thank you for sharing your point of view. You do realize, of course, is that you were just sharing your opinion of non-belief. But I share your betrayal by the WTS. But things are a bit different with me.

  Like you, Charlie, they sought to elevate themselves above everyone else by pontificating their special knowledge and judgments. They and they alone have the keys to salvation.

  The big difference between me and you and everybody else is that I'M THE REAL DEAL. You talk tough, but you can match that with any authority. I have the Biblical authority that not even the WTS has. But this is a no-brainer because if this is true, I should be able to demonstrate it, right? So let's do a quick test here and compare myself to you. If I'm able to teach you something from the Bible you didn't know before, then that suggests I actually know more than you, right? Or if you have some belief in the Bible that I'm able to show is incorrect, then that means maybe I have more Biblical understanding than you.

  God likes these kinds of competitions, like when Elijah and the prophets of Baal had a competition, or even like the 10 plagues. So let me annoy you just a little more, if you will humor me, okay? Okay. I'll try to keep it simple.

  You're so smart right? Smarter than me. That's what we're assuming. So I'll just ask you a simple question. It might be a trick question though, so watch out. It's a test of Bible knowledge and understanding. It relates to the DAY OF THE WEEK that Jesus died. The trick question is:

  Matthew 12:40 says Jesus would be in the grave for "three nights." Jesus rose on a Saturday night. So,

  WHICH THREE NIGHTS WAS JESUS IN THE GRAVE?

  Now if you're so smart, you should be able to answer this question with no problem. But after you do answer it, I'd like to know whether or not you just figured it out or if you already knew it? Since you're a witness or former witness, we'll accept the year we are speaking of is 33 CE.

  Now if you don't answer the question or you slip and slide and try to get cute or think you're too arrogant to answer a simple question, then I'm going to do exactly what you did. "Pontificate" on your butt. Got it? So this is Baal vs. Elijah (you can be either one, we're looking for a winner here). If you no longer believe the Bible, that's fine, you can bow out. I'm not sure exactly what your concept of God and the Bible is right now. Thanks.

  Charlie,

  I gave up caring what that book said a long, long time ago. You may as well be asking me about Grimm Fairy Tales. So your point, although relevant and meaningful to you, is complete and utter rubbish to me.

  VIVIANE! Girl! You are a piece of work! You are very high on your horses, lady. But I'm higher. Trust me on that. So let's start our little competition. I'll use your basic rule: Prove your point. I can't believe how arrogant you are, though. But I'm amused. I like people who at least think for themselves. So play a little game with me, won't you? I'm going to ask you ONE SIMPLE QUESTION. It's easy to figure out. But after you answer the question, I'd like to know if you just figured it out after I asked you or if you knew this all along?

  Now if you should decide not to play and not answer the question, dear, I'm going to have a different response for you. Trust Me. I've been at this much longer than you have, sweetie. Okay? This is just me and you, SHARING Bible topics, okay? Now try to focus for me just for a second here. Here we go:

  QUESTION: Matthew 12:40 says Jesus was in the grave for "three nights." Jesus rose on a Saturday night. So:

  WHAT THREE NIGHTS WAS JESUS IN THE GRAVE?

  That's the question but it's a trick question because it has only one answer. I'm wondering if you're smart enough to figure it out? So show everybody how really smart you are by getting this simple answer right. But also let us know did you just figure this out or was this something you had always understood as a result of your vast amounts of knowledge accumulated by your studies.

  And oh yes. Do you know "DJS"? He's almost your alter ego, except I think his ego is a bit bigger than yours, but not much. Anyway he said:

  These were all white men with essentially the same N. European DNA, just like you Charlie.
  

  So just so YOU and HE know who they are talking to, you know, just to put a face with a name, I took this selfie a few months ago on Halloween: THANKS FOR YOUR ANSWER! I appreciate it.
