Atheists

But there are plenty of scientific contradictions with today's (or really yesterday's) science that they don't xpose to the same scrutiny.

As for the rest, I would say that you are expressing your opinions and evaluating others' for what they say. That is exactly what I think most people hope this forum will be. Very few people here have a problem with someone expressing an opinion different from their own.

 

I don't know about that, Sly. I know a lot of good Christians that sin like Satan because they can go to church on Sunday and their sins will be atoned.

 

I have a problem with that. Anyone who uses Jesus sacrifice as an excuse to sin is just wrong. To me forgiveness should only be asked when you realize you have sinned in hindsight and regret your actions not by those who realize they are going to sin and do so anyway. To me that is where the judgement will come into play.

 

You knew it was wrong to build homes out of your own fecal matter and then sell them to unsuspecting hispanics as authentic adobe huts. You knew it was wrong, you rotten bastard, and you did it anyway. Now you want forgiveness? Please.

 

who are you to judge you pompus bastard. Those huts were some first class feces- better than adobe. Leave it to some journalist to get on a guy for selling first class product.

 

Those aren't good Christians, Muff. Even Paul calls them out in the New Testament. And I totally agree with Sly that those people who are "working the system" like that are in for a very rude surprise when Judgment Day comes.

 

Uh-oh......

 

absolutely. when people feel like they're not in control, i'm sure they'd be hope that some unseen force was on their side. i'm sure there'd be some comfort in the idea that "it'll all be okay cuz god loves me and wouldn't do anything bad to me".

reminds me of the only funny emo phillips joke i ever heard...

a skinny guy (it was emo in his version) is in a bar and bumps into a big biker and spills his drink. the biker gets pissed and grabs the skinny dude by the throat and is about to pound his face in. the skinny dude prays to god, "god, if you help me out here, i promise to be the best christian in the world". suddenly, out of the blue, a bolt of lightning strikes the biker dude and knocks him out. the skinny guy relieved and gasping for breath says "thanks anyways, god. maybe next time."

 

Revelation 3:14-22
14"To the angel of the church in Laodicea write:
These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God's creation. 15I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16So, because you are lukewarm--neither hot nor cold--I am about to spit you out of my mouth. 17You say, 'I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.' But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. 18I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see. 19Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest, and repent. 20Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me. 21To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne. 22He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."

Don't want to be one of those Lukewarm Christians.

 

Emo was really funny
