Theology

[maledoro]

For your dignity I hope you're right and God isn't real
Otherwise you just look like a fool..
because if I was some being of infinite power, people like you would be good for a scoff and that's it.

Well, apparently God loves everyone... so...

It depends on which part of the Bible you read.

Anyone care to explain how the god of Islam, Christianity, Judaism and Football are actually the same guy?

True. Ah, the contradictions...

Simple: "God prefers us and not you."

*Alex Trebek voice*
"I'm sorry, but the word we're looking for here is 'interpretations'. 'Interpretations'. You still have control of the board."


But, yes, they are contradictions.

Aren't Apologetics fun?

If you're serious about them, no. If you do it for shits and giggles, yes. One of the reasons I stopped believing is that I had to jump through too many logic hoops to convince myself of my faith.

Did this "conversion" happen gradually or was it a spur of the moment realization?

It was gradual, but peppered with little spurs.

About how old were you? I was never really religious from the get-go though I remember there was a neighbor of mine who would go around saying "my dad said there's no such thing as god" and that sort of upset me. I was never "forced" to go to church and my parental figures weren't religious. You would be surprised over how much influence parents have over their offsprings religious/spiritual leanings. I feel so horrible and sick when I see little children going to church and spewing all that bible bullshit. It's brainwashing at it's finest...or worst depending on how you interpret it.  Everyone starts off as an atheist.

About how old were you?

Like I said, it was gradual. It started when I was a kid and I was free of faith by my mid-20s.

Same here. Well it started when I was a teenager and I was pretty much an atheist by around 21.

Jesus was Jewish.  Most jewish people look pretty white.




Unless you subscribe to the theory that white jewish people stole the jewish label from black people.

[DoomRulz]

I like believing Jesus was black because it's fun listening to people cry about it.

[Cal427eb]

Yeah, pointlessly provoking people is always fun.

Did you by chance take anything that helped you shed the shackles? I don't condone drug use by any means but I would be a dammed liar if I told you a certain creation of Albert Hoffman's didn't help me see the "light".

I agree with this one.

[The1PerfectOrganism]

Yeah, pointlessly provoking festering worms is always fun.

In this case.
