Believer and Lieu,

I'm waiting for a response as to whether you have judged billions of decent innocent people to death. Many of these are believers. Many believe in god. Many have fairh.

Your answer please.

Believer,

You preached us to hell. Some recovery. That didn't feel like a big purple dinosaur hug to me nor a Rodney King why cant we all just get along moment.

Please respond as to whether you have preached billions of Buddhists, Muslims, Hindus to hell also.

Lieu,

It is all make believe. But sadly people die, are killed and lives are ruined because of your make believe.

That's why it matters.

Another interesting point about Believer. She resisted Coftys comments showing how her bible revealed a god who is a moral monster.

Apparently it is A OK however believing that her god is going to destroy us atheists forever in Gehenna.

Selective blinders.

Lieu,

You still can't come up with anything but ad hominems I see. I was actually minding my own business until Believer preached me to hell.

Now apparently she has assigned billions of other decent people to the same fate. Just because they don't believe like her/it.

So you do see how ridiculous you are being don't you.

Believer,

Thanks for halfway responding. Ucantnome made the 'last post' comment. I was in error. However, in your second OP you stated this:

"Jesus condemned the Pharisees because 'they traverse land and sea to make one proselyte and then made him a subject of Gehenna more so than themselves.’ At first I wondered what that meant but watching the progression of many exJWs evolve or devolve from blind faith to no faith seems to be the answer. Of course there are many who evolved from blind faith to true faith but those believers are relatively quiet here. So I guess the other reason I keep checking in, I must confess, is like the fascination of watching a train wreck. You really hope no one is seriously injured, but you just can't help looking!"

You clearly equate us atheists to those with no faith and Gehenna. No amount of moon walking can get you out of that Ms. Jackson.

Also, please answer my question about whether the gods of Islam, the Hindus, the Jains (who are some of the most decent people) are also not of the 'true faith' as you call it and whether they too are destined for the same fate of Gehenna.

By your response you seem to be saying all of these people, numbering in the billions, have a religion but no faith.

Please clarify. I don't want to Improperly assume you just condemned billions of innocent decent people to everlasting destruction with the likes of me.

Believer,

Didn't you say a couple of days ago you would never post again on this site or even view it??

You were asked to view a video? Really? By whom? The Pope? Billy Graham? Believer?

So let me get this straight. You are now separating religion from god. I see. In your last OP, where you assigned all us atheists to Gehenna (is that the metaphorical Gehenna meaning death or the hot place? I want to dress appropriately), you also stated that there was a 'true faith.'

Now the important question. Are those who believe in god in your true faith? Or is it just the xtian god and his baby boy that gets identified as the true faith? What about the myriads of gods in Hinduism, Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva? Islam's god Allah? Moksha of Jainism?

Or is the true faith only reserved for Believer and its followers? Do the Hindus, Jains, Buddhists, etc. also get thrown into Gehenna along with us atheists? We are talking about several billion people, so your response is meaningful. We got to alert a whole lot of people if you don't approve of their religion or their god.

Lieu,

More ad hominen. Is that all you got? We atheists promise that the second you say something that makes sense we will applaud you.

We hurt your feelings because that's what you lead with and what drives you. If you would start using your brain it wouldn't sting so much.

Or even some self control.

Introduction - Any Believers?

by Believer in

i’ve been reading it for a few of years off and on, but have been a little too ... maybe ... timid to join.

i left the watchtower organization almost 20 years ago but never abandoned my faith and belief in god.

i knew the gb/organization didn’t represent god, so when i lost my faith in them, i managed to keep my faith in an all wise benevolent creator.

DJS

rebel,

We don't blame god because we don't believe in her. You are missing the point. We are countering your beliefs and statements about her with a rational, analytical response that shows, if she existed, she is a monster or she simply doesn't care about her creation. But if you and those like you point to the bible - IN ANY MANNER - as proof she exists, that the bible is in any manner inspired by her or meant as a guide for humans or to help us cretans learn about her, then she is a moral monster.

It's called rational debate. I know you aren't used to it but try to follow along.

We know it is man who is responsible for all of this carnage.

As others have rightly said about the bible: in for a penny, in for a pound. Picking and choosing which parts of it are inspired and which parts are to be ignored results in what we have. Thousands of different x-tian belief systems, all of which can use the bible in support of their beliefs and actions, which include the destruction by your god of billions in this end of time period (gag) and after the thousand year 'rain' of terror by your god, billions more who have assumedly obtained perfection.

And, you place yourself in immediate conflict by calling yourself this name: Christian. Because there is only one source for that belief system. One.

In for a penny. In for a pound.

Lieu,

Every major x-tian religion for nearly 2000 years has applied those scriptures in exactly the same manner. That belief served in large part as the legitimacy for the Crusades, the Conquistadors and hosts of other atrocities, wars, murders and genocides committed by x-tians and in the name of Christ. The tips of the Conquistadores' spears were sharpened by Jesus.

That some are backing away from that belief/teaching suggests x-tianity is finally learning a bit from its mistakes. But like Islam, until they divorce themselves from the relevancy and most importantly from the legitimacy of their sacred writings (Koran/Bible) and the inerrancy and god inspired nature of them we will continue to see the same beliefs rise up in horrific actions and latently cause needless divisions amongst our species.
