What do you expect. The dude is a pastor, obviously.
It doesn't. Anyone could choose to read or ignore this thread. This is ATOT. There's absolutely nothing wrong with shoving Atheism down people's throats. That's applauded. Don't you dare mention your belief in God, though... then you're free game.
Everyone knows it's ok to bash Christianity on these forums. Don't dare bash any minority or other religion, though.

Jesus has been around since the beginning of time? News to me 🙂
In any case, Faith is nothing more than a short circuit, an alleged shortcut to knowledge that accomplishes nothing better than to destroy the ability of a mind to REASON.

It's so easy to bash because most of the followers don't practice what they preach.. makes it a pretty easy target.
In my opinion this thread is hilarious as is any other discussion where people who have no way to prove anything either way argue about things no one knows or can change.
You should just cut your losses and accept that everyone belives in different things and move on, the result is always the same otherwise: pointless arguing.
I agree. If you read my posts, I'm almost never trying to 'convert' anyone. I post when someone states an incorrect belief or 'fact' about the Bible. The majority of people that post those things have never read the book and usually have no clue that they are ignorant and posting in ignorance. So, I try to post corrections as to what the book actually says. Not saying believe in it, just get it right if you are going to debate it.
By the way, secular internet forums probably aren't the best place to proselytize people. More than likely, you just added to reasons for non-Christians to hate Christians. In your head, you may think you just did a good thing, but in reality, you probably just wanted the last say in the matter of Creationism vs. Evolution thread.
Honestly did you really pray about it before you posted this thread? Did you really want to tell someone about Jesus, or is this a way of judging other people, who aren't Christian BTW? You P&N, and Religious people sometimes are so annoying because it isn't a matter of actually telling someone about Jesus. It is a matter of you being right and others being wrong, otherwise you wouldn't post the thread in such a reproachful tone.
In a few years, some of these youngsters may realize that not everything can be explained by what we observe. And when that happens, I hope there will be someone there, but until then, let them have there say, so maybe they will be able to entrust you or someone like you to hear them out. Instead of them of thinking about post or discussions like this and just shuddering at the thought of trusting someone like you with their questions. Just FYI.
Harsh, but oh well.

Is that really what you got out of my post? I said I USUALLY post to specify corrections in misconceptions about the Bible. I'm not telling people, "Believe in God, Believe in Jesus." I'm saying, "no, that book does not say that. It says this." It is their choice whether they want to believe in the writings of that book or not. I'm simply telling people what it says when it is misquoted or something comes way out of left field.
BTW CorporateRecreation, anecdoctal evidence saying Christians are flawed is wrong logic. I can show you just as many great Christians who do practice what they preach. The Bible even supports the idea that "all men (even Christian), have sinned and fall short of the Glory of G-d". If you want to ignore Christianity, ignore it for its beliefs, not for casual examples.
************************************************
And to DAGTA, it is because as Christians, we are held at a higher principle by non-Christians. So, if a non-Christian resorted to bashing Christians, that gives us a right to bash them...? NO! Your reasoning is flawed. If someone "sins" by slandering, does it give Christians the right to slander back?
Give me a break :roll: The Bible even warns us that we should expect persecution. Was it a surprise that people hate Christians? Especially hypocritical ones. Dang dude. Give it a rest. If you really want to help out non-believers, then you wouldn't FLAME them.
John 1.
Postulates:
1) I'm not angry.
2) No hatred.
3) I'm a Christian, so there's no trust issue.
Data:
1) All that results is more of what you are "deeply saddened by," and that's people engaging in more "faith bashing."
2) You didn't mean to give this impression, but when people read religious stuff, they insert their own tones into it. These tones will be condemning, self-righteous, condescending, or whatever their mothers or pastors or priests-who-abused-them-when they-were-kids sounded like when they used similar words. They're taking out their anger on all of the negative examples that they've seen because they've already chosen to reject your message.
Conclusion:
1) This thread is no different from all the other Christianity threads. It will go nowhere. Sorry.
