Your religion/faith is asking to forgo logic and reason. Not you!
No. Other embarrassing atheists “like” your foolishness. As a former atheist, I would not want anyone thinking you or Ohio or some of the others were in my camp. When you have a good position, you don’t have to be an ass. When you struggle with your position and/or need attention, you act the asshat.
Again, you should expect the same level of foolishness dictated by your foolish arguments. I'm not going to dance around your delicate sensitive feelings. Ya know, you could choose to move on, but you don't. You should have enough faith in your God as not to be offended, it is clear to me you don't.
I don't know how you can see the scripture that has God send angels of death to murder the firstborn of a bunch of families as distorted.
You don't have to be a cry baby. You choose to be a cry baby. It’s not new for you. It’s your MO.
I wonder if it is more pathetic to cry or to claim someone is crying when they clearly are not. I think the latter, but I think you must disagree. LOL
What part is untrue or would you consider to be a "straw man?"
Interesting that while you attack my post for being political you insert a demeaning political comment into your own. I'm hardly radical, unless you call wanting Americans to have a living wage, a viable pension, and access to affordable health care "radical"
Morality can be subjective truth.
The bible has often been represented in many arguments by believers. Claiming truth in the following...
I'm just reading what was written. You're the one trying to rationalize it differently
Or I had this thought. Those who disagree could start living their faith instead of just preaching it. I mean what an opportunity-to interact with us Godless sinners and inspire us by their love, their faith, their kindness and lifting up of others, even with those with whom they disagree, and by taking the high road in these arguments. Just like their scripture teachers!
No? did you miss the part where over 50 years of reproductive rights have been overturned by zealots on on the Supreme Court? Or the news that Contraception, Sodomy" and Marriage laws may be next?
Do you know what a "strawman" is? My "political rant" is a verifiable accounting of the history of organized religion that clearly shows that it is more of an instrument designed for the control of man as opposed to some divinely inspired system of faith and love for each other. To be fair, perhaps this is not concrete evidence that there is not a God, but it sure would be justification for some robust skepticism.
It's possible that atheists and agnostics don't agree with me. So what? Disbelief in one specific thing doesn't imply commonality with those that may also not believe in that one specific thing. I don't really know how anyone, however, can look at four thousands years of stonings, murder, kidnap, rape, genocide, burning folks alive, and say..."yep, that's my jam. We did that."
The gift of tongues is speaking in a language the speaker has never learned in order to minister to someone who does speak that language. The Greek word translated “tongues” literally means “languages.”
I really hope heaven exist. These idiots need to be confined somewhere.....
Thanks for your reply. I am familiar with the biblical accounts of Pentecost and where the spirit movement comes from. My sense is similar to your sentiment, it seems, as I could never understand the point of speaking in tongues, if nobody knew what you were saying. I know there are explanations of why speaking in unintelligible tongues is still a manifestation of the presence of the spirit, but I cannot relate to or understand them.
