Some atheists, like some religious people are interested in the subject of religion. In fact, in some cases, it was their interest in religion that eventually encouraged them to become atheists.

Reading factual information about the Bible, and how other religions began has caused some people to change their beliefs. Some people never believed, even though raised in a religion and other people came to religion later in life after not being raised with a religion.

As has been pointed out many times, this is not a forum for religious believers only, or for a certain religion only, but rather it is a forum about religion.

You still won’t answer the question. Now that you’ve proven to yourself (not the same as proving to anyone else) that religion is a so-called pack of lies, why are you here 24/7 moaning about it. You’re miserable? You hate Christians?

Answer the question.

I guess it could be a drug-related hallucination and not mental illness.

So, if you hear voices you are either nuts or stoned.

And if you believe people when they tell you they hear voices, you’re…. a believer?

Answer the question.

Are you here 24x7 monitoring?

Evidence that PP is here 24x7?

Or did someone tell you that and you just believe it to be true?

Another deflection. Answer the question. If you’ve dismissed religion and hate some of it (esp. Christianity), why keep coming here to trash it? A mentally healthy person would just move on to something like the Pet or Real Estate forum.

You rule out the supernatural explanations—that’s your problem right there. You seem simple-minded.

I should have said DP.

So what’s the deal? Are you here 24x7 monitoring?

Evidence that the PP is here 24x7?

And if you’re so convinced that PP is “mentally unhealthy” then why keep engaging with him 24x7?

Usually if these are men, they have bad and neglectful mothers growing up. Many times their moms also has a substance abuse problem, were abusive and openly promiscuous.

Sounds like they joined one of those non-denominational mega churches. You know what those usually have? Free childcare (during the service). It might be the only time they get a break.

Really? You went the "you're mom's a ho" route? How very christian of you.

I actually think you are not a real christian, and maybe just trying to make them look bad. If so, mission accomplished.

I’m not the pp speculating about your mom, but here you are speculating that I’m schizophrenic. Pot meet kettle.

I’m just back after a week-long break from DCUM, and before that a break of several months. Yet nothing has changed in that time. Maybe pointing out how sad it is that you’re still here, still posting all day, will help you get some self-awareness? Or maybe self-awareness is something that eludes you.

DP. Yep. This is probably the same pp who thinks the only reason people could possibly go to church is for free daycare—same writing style. And who is childishly obsessing about hearing voices and ruling out the supernatural even in cases like Paul’s.

Well, "ho ho ho" is the theme for a major Christian celebration.

If you have a good mother you will be a spiritual person, if you have a bad mother you will become a zealot.

You’re conflating posters. Like I said, I’m a DP.

If you were gone so much, how do you know the PP was here 24x7? Or is that just something you believe?
