In your petty myopic belief system, maybe, but that is not the case world wide.

I am amused at the notion it is my view that is myoptic, and not yours. But then, it isn't me whose ivory tower is crumbling beneath the weight of its own ignorance.

You vanished from this thread instead of answering questions put to you. Don't you think it's a bit chickenshit of you to come back to have a crack at anyone else, let alone an oppositional viewpoint?

No, I don't. In terms of what is important in my life, debating strangers on a forum is near the bottom. I don't see any obligation on my part to answer anything. I work during the week, and like spending time with my family when I'm not working. I plan to respond to some questions, but have no intention of answering every question posed to me if I have more important things to do. But the vitriol in this thread (not so much toward posters but toward Christianity) is counter productive and I'm not too interested in discussing Christianity with people making jokes about God having "big ****". The thread on homosexuality is more interesting and more serious, so I intend to continue to participate in that, as time (and desire) permits. I did intend to post a lengthy reply to this thread, but my arguments were being shot down before I even began to post my reply. The discussion was moving in circles and I didn't believe that is was productive to continue.

That's fine, and of course you're allowed to leave the thread. But - as stated - it's a bit chickenshit to leave when the scrutiny got too much or you stopped appreciating the questions, then come back for a driveby.

 

[Vdubs]

Fair enough, if its against forum etiquette, I'll refrain from commenting on such matters unless I'm more invested in the thread.

Forum etiquette!!
The last 3 pages of this thread will reveal that.
You are wise in not being invested here.

You make a statement about Christians dealing with the downtrodden and poor, which is clearly incorrect and reflects your own narrow sphere of influence.

What about the blatant disrespect given here to the subject (Christ)of discussion. That should be more than questioned.

 

[Vdubs]

Jesus was a racist and sexist arseh*le who promoted anti-scientific and homophobic bullshit. If he comes back, I hope he gets smashed in debates by anti-theists and evolutionary scientists.

What would DNA evidence say about Jesus' genetic lineage?

Bastard child.

Jesus didn't give a sh*t about the poor who lived outside Israel. He was a slightly more intelligent version of John Howard.

There was a housing bubble, white Israel policy, and creationist agenda during the time of Jesus...and Jesus promoted all of it.

Einstein, Hawking, Darwin etal are still trying to explain to god how the universe works, that’s why heaven is eternal, Jesus was portrayed as an idiot in the bible, imagine having access to your dad’s knowledge and still being an idiot?

Just a snippet of garbage we have to read if this thread is to be taken with any respect.
I doubt this type of posting would be tolerated on any other thread.
Great to be gutless anonymous keyboard warriors.
What is the real worry is what is on your hearts to inspire such writing.

Plenty of fictional characters throughout history have been disrespected, your guy is just another we like to poke holes in, oh shit, he’s already had that!
Happy Saturnalia/Yuletide/holidays.

If I gave Mary a creampie, would you sing songs about my greatness?

I make a statement about you, and your utter ignorance concerning poverty that exists within our society, from which I have personal experience.

Or do you want to tell me more about myself and my life?

I'm also starting to wonder, are you looking to get insulted here? You've rather changed tack in recent pages. You're completely going the man now. Well, it's a step down from martyrdom, but it'll have to do for you.

Or - again - maybe you could answer my question: do you really think non christians are not capable of love?

He has the truth, so stop disrespecting him with those pesky questions and accusations.

 

[Evolved1]

I challenge those who have the truth to go down the rabbit hole with me. I'll hold your hand as long as I can...after that, you're on your own.

1.No, you can do that yourself
2.No, do not need to answer that

You can not disrespect someone that does not exist.

 

[Evolved1]

You can not disrespect someone that does not exist.

Why not?

Delusional believers slit the throat of a man in France because he disrespected the prophet of their imaginary friend.

The faithful will protect their delusion to that extent. Christians are no different.

 

[Gethelred]

1.No, you can do that yourself

...

This is really, really stupid. Reconsider what you've said here, in the light of what came before. You're not wise or self aware, and the pretense sickens me.

2.No, do not need to answer that

... because?

This is an even more interesting question to me. You don't want to answer that other one; fine. It's in why not that the interest lies.

 

[Evolved1]

You can't reason with a man who lives by faith. They love their belief in the same way that a meth addict loves meth.

Religion is slowly dying. If believers go down peacefully without causing too much harm, I'm happy enough with the outcome. Snuff the stupidity out with knowledge.

 

[Vdubs]

why do you all spend so much time doing so then?
isn't this bizarre?
denigrating a non-existent being..
you all clearly have very strange agendas.

1. You can elaborate on your dealings with poverty, shed some light on the matter, and while you're at it, tell us how you deal with the afflicted better than Christians do. Not for me to comment on.
2. Nothing more needs to be said.

And if this nonexistent being and his/her cult followers kept to themselves we wouldn’t be bothered.

But you try and control all aspects of our nation as well as get a free tax ride, so there for deserve every comment you get.

All aspects of our nation...free tax ride...just inaccurate.
Maybe ask yourself why you know more than those you criticise.

If it's against forum etiquette to crush supremacist fundamentalist attitude, i am all for it. You and your faith cannot stand up to scrutiny, you actually don't reply to anything outside of adhoms and how mistaken we are and how lost we are. Yet you won't reply to any scrutiny, despite me trying to get you to talk about Christianity.

For some quirky reason, I have little interest in discussing Christianity with a non Christian who claims to know more about our faith and Bible than long term living and practicing Christians do.
