so i don't want to play anymore.. i'm taking my ball and going home.
my turn to rant.
jesus christ, burn.. if you have god almighty on your side, what's with all the frustration?.
It also seems that Atheists get a bit insulting when you don't "go along, to get along" when they insist there is no God.
Is it possible that the insults aren't directed at the believers but at the imaginary deities they adore?
Have a blast at the Memorial, Warlock!

well, as you know, i never was a dub.
but i am and have been a born again christian for many years.
their philosophy of church and state relationship is closer to an interdenominational theocracy than to a really secular democracy...
Terrifyingly true.
why is today the only day of the year when i feel guilty about having left the jws?
it's memorial day and i didn't go.
my last memorial was in 2006. last year was my first non-attendance.

Still more deprogramming to do?
Howl at the moon.

jesus christ, burn.. if you have god almighty on your side, what's with all the frustration?.
Yes. But doesn't the same apply to nonbelievers?
Sure.
I'm not upset about anyone spitting on or defecating on my lack of belief in that which doesn't exist.
just giving you a hard time
You're alright, Robdar.
Shouldn't your apology be to BTS?
Ok.
Here goes.
Burn, I think you're a smart guy.
You know that.
I hope this thread didn't offend you.
I hope you have a happy bunny day.
Thanks.
Same to you.
LMAFAO!

So, why don't you tell us what your motives are?
Gladly.
And thank you for the opportunity.
A common allegation made about nonbelievers is that they are hateful and mad at God and look down on believers.
If you read the comments of the majority of nonbelievers on this board you'll note that they are people that would gladly believe if the saw reason to.
I perceive an anger and frustration in many fundamentalist believers that I don't in nonbelievers.
Of course, that is my perception only.
I welcome you to show me where it may be distorted.
Back to the questions posed in the OP... do you get where I'm coming from?
Shouldn't a believer feel at peace in knowing that God is real and has it all under control without getting angry with the nonbelievers?
Or another approach might be to want to share the joy of Christianity with those that have yet to experience it.
Some believers here and some I've met IRL do exactly that.
Sorry if my tone came across as harsh, Robdar.

You aren't the Nvr you used to be
Sorry you feel that way, Sad emo.
I was about to mention you and some other Christians like AlphaOmega and jgnat that can discuss theology without having a meltdown.
I haven't read much from lovelylil, but she seems to express her faith with confidence and grace too.
Merry Magdalene, though a believer in Islam, attempts to defend her faith in much the same way.
It was Burn that was suggesting that nonbelievers were spitting and defecating on the believers.
I have answered all the questions you have posed to me.
Sorry, I missed that.
You started this thread to make fun of BTS. You've succeeded. You are indeed the big man.
Again, you're making assumptions about my motives.

irritable and condescending
If you let go of the suppositions about my tone and attempt to answer the questions we might start to understand one another.

Then why this irritable thread?
What's irritable about it?
