No sarcasm meant at all. I was a denominational Christian once. I understand that the evangelicals simply want power. |
Tromp is the most ant-Christian anti-humanitarian person I’ve ever known. Any committee will have to target and remove him first. |
This will go about as well as the voter fraud task force. |
This is Jesus said about what would happen in Matthew 10:34. You prove the Bible true: <i> Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.</i> You abhor the Bible because you hate God and love your sin. |
Christians are so, so whiny. |
Screw you. I hate that people believe the disgusting words in the bible. I don't believe in sin as I don't believe in god or the bible. Thank you for proving MY point lol. |
DP - I don't abhor the Bible, but I do hate people like you who tell me I love sin. I don't even believe in sin. |
I'm an atheist who grew up in the south and was also harassed. Kids brought bibles and leather cross necklaces to biology class for a few weeks after I asked the teacher about evolution. One family I babysat for gave me a bible each Christmas - the dad was an adultering cokehead and they were teenagers when their first kid was conceived. I truly think the most messed up people are the most hardcore Christofascists - like Pete Hegseth. |
Sorry, but admitting your bigotry isn't Christian. I personally don't like tattoos, but I would never hold that against someone for a job. You sound very small minded and chomping at the bit for the next Inquisition. I'll die standing than live on my knees -Atheist |
Sorry, but you sound like an atheist who is itching for a fight. -Atheist |
Liar. |
Your unbelief does not make it untrue. You are someone who is offensive to God. I urge you to reconsider and repent (turn from unbelief and away from sin): Matthew 13:41-42 41. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; 42. And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. You will be gnashing your teeth in anger because God has judged you. “How DARE he!” you hatefully grumble. “Science disproved the existence of God. Sagan and Darwin could not have been wrong…ohhhhhhh” you wail, bemoaning that you believed a lie. You gnash your teeth in anger that this has happened to you. |
Would you rather I lie and smile to your face, “Oh, I approve of sinner’s sins like homosexuality. I am 100% objective, no bias here, no siree!” There is bias against Christians. Imagine, if for some odd reason a bible-believing Christian tried to get a job at a gay bar. The bar owner would be justified to choose a gay employee over the Christian who might disrupt or drive away customers. |
I am a Christian and it is people like you who are difficult for me to swallow. It is you who present the true challenge to my following my faith. You cloak your preaching in hatred and fire. You use Jesus' name...Jesus' name!...to preach hatred, retribution, discrimination, and violence. I wonder how many people have *truly* converted to follow Jesus because of fear? I'm guessing zero, not in their heads or their hearts. You know what really reaches people? You know what the overriding message of Jesus is for those of us that are mere mortals? Love and mercy. Love and mercy. Love and kindness and mercy. You are here to care for your fellow man in the name of Jesus, not persecute him in the name of Jesus. If you suffer in the name of Jesus, you should not seek revenge, you should turn the other cheek. The truth is that the messages of Jesus are completely in conflict with the messages of American rugged individualism. So many American Christians are trying to rewrite the teachings of Jesus to suit their own narrative. And you end up with the Christian Right and complete disgraces like Trump. I'd rather break bread with an atheist who is kind and compassionate that one of you modern-day Pharisees. |
Modern day Christians are not the persecuted, they are the ones doing the persecution. I say this as a Christian horrified by what I see around me. Jesus doesn't ask you to love the sins, He asks you to love the sinners. You are one of them. You do not get to place yourself above anyone else. You do not get to commit acts of hatred in His name. |
