I don't wish to conquer - just to amuse myself.
Not only have I have won my freedom from slavery - I have become Caesar.

caveat, many atheists, like LeavingWT are not like this at all.
He doesn't appear to be but behind the polite persona there is a passive aggressiveness below the surface.

What are scriptures? .... Seriously
by wannabefree inthis has been going around in my head recently, after reading a post by aguest i believe, what are they?.
i mean this seriously.. those of you who are athiests, you are free to answer, but i do believe in god and in jesus, so one really should answer with the assumption that they are real, even if you don't believe that, please humor me and offer a logical thought based on that assumption.. 2 timothy 3:16,17 - probably every witness can quote that by heart and would probably assume it meant the bible ... but does it?.
the bible didn't exist at the time paul wrote his letters.

Scriptures are any non evidential text that people in authority choose to take seriously and decree to be Holy.
People in high places even get to add a capital 'H' to Holy just to give it The Divine Seal of Approval.
Don't ya just love magic - and all that jazz.

Beautiful analogy that thinking Christians should be able to wrap their minds around!
Jesus has their minds wrapped around Him - He's all loved up!

Anger is often the preserve of the Christian. Sometimes their condescending attitude can be the cause of anger. Last month a thin lipped lady knocked on my door collecting for a 'Christian charity.'
I told her the name of the charity that I give money to every month by direct debit, it's a local hospice for cancer patients.
'But this is a Christian charity.' She insisted.
'That is precisely why I don't wish to make a donation.' I said
'Oh, you're a non-believer.' She sneered.
'I like to give to charity because I am a good person, not because I want something from Jesus.' I replied
She left shaking with anger. For my part I was amused by her judgmental attitude.

How many of you atheists, agnostics, deists are celebrating Xmas??
by SweetBabyCheezits inwe are celebrating xmas this year for the first time.
it's kinda weird because, even though we're doing a xmas tree, decorations, gifts, we're more or less taking the christ out of christmas.
so how about the rest of you non-christian heathens?.

I like the parties, mostly. I like the music, I like the lights...
I love all that too, but I find it hard hear Jesus talking to me above the noise.
Still, I can guess what he was saying, everybody else does!

undercover talks a lot of sense.
And after waiting around at an airport getting bored, I find a warm hand reassuring me that 'my junk' is still in place, quite comforting.
They are doing it for my own good but if they knew I was comforted by it, they would arrest me and subject me to more stringent examination!

What is the distinction between dogmatism and sincere conviction ?
by caliber ini do sincerely want you opinions .
is there a difference in sharing your hope as opposed with pushing your religion ?.
is it in attempting to set some sort of standard for other peoples lives or what makes the difference in your view ?.

The audience is everything.
If your audience is in full agreement with your beliefs or ideas, then you can be dogmatic and it will be seen as conviction.
If your audience is not in full agreement with your beliefs or ideas, then you have to be diplomatic and tactful or you will be seen as dogmatic.

Now Muriel plays piano
Every Friday at the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see her
And they asked me if I would --
Do a little number
And I sang with all my might
And she said --
"Tell me are you a Christian child?"
And I said "Ma'am I am tonight"
