THAT'S who's coming back to Earth!
The dispensation of Grace is almost OVER. Please, KNOW you're scripture.

Yup, he apparently grew up to become zombie-jesus.

Take a chill-pill, it's just a saying. Great to see you completely ignore the dishonest behaviour of one of your brethren, but I already know that the morals of some christians are more relative than mine.

I could be equally charged with this, but to this my reasoning is I will only spend words on those who I believe would take them into consideration.

Yup, 1a - a supernatural power that reanimated a dead body.

Aye, humectomies appear to obligatory thus far.

Don't take it serious. I made a simple point to Con about his dishonest behaviour, an individual who likes to make points about the poor moral status of atheists, and it's slowly becoming a discussion about baby jesus and zombies - I have no interest in speculating on the zombie status of jesus.
Cheers.

Can you please define humectomies? I've not encountered it in biology nor can find it in the dictionary or online. Looks like humus is the root word. Ectomy is the removal of. Am I close?
I know, but it goes to show sacrastic, overly dramatic, and/or oversimplified characterizations are as inaccurate as much of the tabloid rumor propaganda we're inappropriately fed on a daily basis.

and if he did, he's a liar and a false messiah just like the rest of them.... and therefore, your religion which you hold so dear is a lie as well.

Face it. Christianity is a lie. Christianity is a lie. Christianity is a lie. Stop surrendering your power over to something other than yourself, followers. Followers of anything that professes to be holier than thou.

I don't hate Christians or anything, but it would be nice if they weren't so blindly faithful.

There is no argument here. If there was such thing as truth, part of it would be that nobody other than yourself has the answers, so stop wasting your time here on Earth trying to find the answer in things that are not of your own making. The outside world does not have your answers. Please, realize this.

I'm grateful for the angel sent to my suicidal friend. It's amazing to me that the friend was able to see and know. Most of us are not fortunate to have that experience, but "with God all things are possible". This is the absolute power of Christianity.

I love owls.
Can Jesus save me AND make me into an owl?
Then maybe I'll consider it.

But, to be totally honest, I'm glad that the guy found his way out of his predicament no matter what he thinks was the factor.
Send him my best wishes, depression sucks.

well, they're not really acting inconsistently with the teachings there...the bible is quite inconsistent on the issues.
it kind of exalts and praises genocidal acts....so...yeah...
oh, and why didn't the Christians in Nazi Germany (the majority at the time) stop the holocaust carried out by their leader who also happened to be a christian?
atheism isn't a philosophy it's a single position. if people do something, they don't do it in the name
ummmmm.....hitler loved Jesus. hate to break it to ya, but you're quite ignorant on that issue.
and none of those wars were started in the name of non-belief
and Mao never started a war...he participated in the revolution, but he didn't start it...
well, let's see...
(christian) Nazi Germany: expansionism... (not blaming Christianity for starting anything there)
soviet Russia: communism...
communist china: communism....
could you show me an act where someone said "we need to start this war because we don't believe in god"?
i say religion has killed people
i say religion is bad if something is bad, you get rid of it.
they weren't killed in the name of atheism, they were killed in the name of politics and power.
were Christians killed because they were christian, or because Christianity posed a threat to the ruling communist regime?
it's the latter.
and you also label anything that disagrees with your position as a "hate site"
well, the expert on Nazism, Hitler, kind of would disagree.
"Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord.
-Adolf Hitler
now you're comparing us to Nazi's on top of the defaming (and unbacked)

i don't call the police because we live in a society where it isn't illegal.
i "get away with it" because i can provide a reasoned explanation as to why i think raising a kid in A N Y belief system is wrong, whether it's religious or political.
i'm not saying raise the kids as atheists, i'm saying to raise the kids knowing about every belief system
a child should be exposed to all positions possible on the issue and then be left to make the choice later

A part of me would like to ask Conspiriology to take the "witness stand". I use the word witness in double meaning here, both for court and church. My first question would be, "how many people have you helped lead to Christ by speaking to them in the way you've spoken to Madness?" My next question would be "Where you born a Christian?" Then my third would be "What are you so angry about?" Feel free to answer if you like, but I'm not sure the continuance down this path would be beneficial for either of us. I like madnessinmysoul even though we rarely agree. Overall, I think the heart is well-intentioned though misunderstanding is present when it comes to what Christ says and did. When reading your posts Conspiriology, I cannot help but think that perhaps madnessinmysoul is a bit justified in the way he feels about those who claim to believe in God. My hope is that instead of clinging to things like "dignity" and "pride", that we go back to the Book which originally taught us to "love your neighbor" and "pray for those who persecute you". I have no issue with arguing someones ideas or beliefs, but when we cross the line and go into demeaning personal attacks, this is where even our thoughts go too far..."But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment". Nobody knows each other in real life here. It's intentional. The reason is we're here to discuss the topics/issues without being blinded by the things we assume with our eyes. The Bible has much to say about anger and judgement, we merely need to follow it else we're representing our faith in ourselves, which has no substance.
