When I left the church once and for all I was showered with all the threats of God's divine wrath that awaited me for turning my back on the faith. <br /><br />It seems to me that Christians seem to relish the idea of seeing all those that oppose their beliefs suffering eternally in the afterlife. They seem to long for it and enjoy casting that curse at all dissenters wholesale. <br /><br />I have been an atheist going on 18 years and my view of God now is that he is nothing but a celestial tyrant and bully. Even if he did exist, I would tell him to shove his so called gift of salvation up his all powerful ass before bowing down to a monster.<br /><br />I have known people including myself, that have shown more compassion and love for their fellow man than this fictional God has ever done according to the scriptures.<br /><br />Keep up the good work my friend, I will be looking forward to your future posts.Chatpilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03550924322118366351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488651241352366915.post-21036274920701763322012-01-10T16:00:06.302-05:002012-01-10T16:00:06.302-05:00Eng.

I had to laugh when I read your title ...Hello Hump,<br />I had to laugh when I read your title of this posting. I was on a Conservative Blog site where a Fundamentalist Christian posts by the name of Common Sense, (which obviously in his case is not too common.)<br /><br />He attacked Microdot with the statement, “What is this….A ROCK!….and according to your evolution theory after a million years it becomes a man.”<br /><br />I posted a reply:<br />“Genesis 2:18-19: And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. AND OUT OF THE GROUND the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof."<br /><br />I then went onto say, "So you are saying that the Bible gives proof of Evolution as God created not only Adam, but every beast, fowl, etc. from the ground. Rocks are part of the ground right?”<br /><br />The poor mindless bastard did not reply so I guess that was the end of his evidence that the Evolution Theory says that a rock, after a million years, will become a human.Engineer of Knowledgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02179784871538454388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488651241352366915.post-46249389578874261092012-01-07T09:23:57.811-05:002012-01-07T09:23:57.811-05:00If that's the sort of thing they're lookin...If that's the sort of thing they're looking forward to witnessing in the afterlife what sort of TV and films do they liking watching in life?

Perhaps too much detail about their religion's dogma may have a cumulative effect of sounding so crazy they're scared it'll threaten their faith if they hear it. Who knows? <br /><br />Religionists are a peculiar lot.Dromedary Humphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165566701791663057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488651241352366915.post-15624403448315489782012-01-05T23:15:37.086-05:002012-01-05T23:15:37.086-05:00Nailed it again (as usual) Hump!

(albeit fraternal)) that calls himself a Catholic. As you can imagine, we have had many a discussion about Religion (never ends well). I realized early on that I have forgotten more about Catholicism than he will ever know. But here is the most distressing part of all this: It's become obvious to me that he (and virtually every theist I have talked to) explicitly DON'T want to know any more about their religion. When I try to educate them, they effectively put their hands over their ears and yell "I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" The human brain really is an amazing thing.GatorApehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12261147796638732460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488651241352366915.post-81951183384845645572012-01-05T21:16:43.709-05:002012-01-05T21:16:43.709-05:00David,

I have seen a number of Xtians gleefully proffering that concept. <br /><br />Xtians tell me that your earthly cares and connections disappear once you're in heaven. They use that to justify why they won't care what happens to their beloved pets when they are raptured... their thoughts will be only on god. Perhaps that holds true with witnessing your sinful/non-believing children and spouse being tormented for eternity <br /><br />It's all the madness of religion think.Dromedary Humphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165566701791663057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488651241352366915.post-39330680239119899902012-01-05T20:38:08.257-05:002012-01-05T20:38:08.257-05:00"Husbands shall see their wives, parents shal..."Husbands shall see their wives, parents shall see their children tormented before their eyes..."<br /><br />Witnessing a beloved son, daughter or spouse being tormented before your eyes is something that would cause extreme distress, but I thought heaven is a place that is entierly blissful. So is heaven a place where you suddenly become ignorant of the people you once loved and cared about in order not to be distressed by the knowledge that they are in hell? I don't think this idea would sit well with a lot of the Xtians I know.Davidnoreply@blogger.com
