God wants to schedule a one-to-one appt. with you...

[zanejohnson]

I don't need an appointment to talk to myself.

ah fellow seti/luciferian

 

[Red Squirrel]

I already have an appointment but I don't know when it is.

 

[BurnItDwn]

I don't think I would care to visit a con artist cult leader masquerading as a god. That said, I would be willing to start my own cult at some time in the future.

Also, I do not have any interest in vising a delusional individual who thinks they are a god, even if they are not a con artist.

 

[KeithTalent]

No way, I fucking hate meetings.

Edit: unless he supplies lots of free beer, then I'd go.

 

[Ns1]

I would ask him to look at my outlook calendar and send me an invite for any open time.

 

[ThinClient]

It does to those who believe. For those demanding incontrovertible proof, they might not want to be quite so anxious. When the Lord returns to earth, he has said there will BE no doubt. Of course, that will also be the end of the world.

Just because you believe it doesn't make it true or factual.

Life is a perpetual appointment with god, so we are already here.

Life is a perpetual appointment with the flying spaghetti monster, so we are already here.

Fixed and quoted for equal likelihood.

Sure, First though I would ask if he as tried the 1-800 number, and he would have to set it up through my secretary, also I think I'm booked solid through the end of the month.

 

[Newell Steamer]

Would you go to it?

Of course.

Disbeliever's biggest mistake is dismissing the reality believers experience. You hold Truth as anything you can point to. Believers hold no Truths but, the word of God.

The Believers biggest mistake.

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

The Believers biggest mistake.

It's a matter of perspective and we'll all find out soon enough. In the meantime, I think it's foolish to dismiss the reality of so many believers whether you agree or not.

I can pencil him in for next week, one evening. It'll give him time to find a sitter. I'll serve water so we can all get drunk.

 

[ch33zw1z]

I think it's foolish to dismiss the reality of so many non-believers whether you agree or not.

ftfy, agreed.

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

ftfy, agreed.

Oh believers definitely do not dismiss the realities of non believers. We do try to enlighten when asked or correct a mistaken belief attributed to those who believe. Sadly, at least in these forums, there are many who seem to go out of their way to attack believers while dismissing the importance of those beliefs, if only to them.

Speak for yourself. I have many memories of growing up as a believer and being surrounded by them; believers are no different than anyone else. They're quick to dismiss what doesn't agree with them, and they're dickish.

I remember in particular one junior high lesson on other major religions, after half an hour it degenerated into "herpaderp can you believe what Muslims/Mormons/Buddhists believe." I pointed out to the leader that nobody will ever be converted by mockery, and we quickly got back on track and closed.

More to your original comment, I'm quick to dismiss believers' experiences in large part because they're contradictory. You're certain you've had experiences with Abraham's god, but I could easily find someone else just as certain they've experienced a Hindu god, and those worldviews are mutually exclusive. When there is no direct evidence and even the circumstantial evidence is contradictory claiming certainty is disingenuous and downright foolish.

Because believers never attack non-believers

It's not sad. God never said the path to righteousness would be easy. Take it like a believer.

And they definitely dismiss non-believers reality, because they choose to create they're own version of reality...aka religion.

You're right, I am just talking for myself.

However, you can't deny that each belief is real to the individual who follows it.

As far as your first point, I don't believe I've ever seen a thread in these forums where a believer attacked a non believer first.

I do take the attacks like a believer, it's who I am.

Choosing another path is not dismissing non believers reality.

..and delusions are real to the deluded. That point is pointless.

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

..and delusions are real to the deluded. That point is pointless.

And yet you imply I and other believers are deluded without proof. Your post is not only pointless, it is yet another example of baseless attacks of believers in these forums.

 

[ch33zw1z]

ooh, so when you're verbally "attacked" on an internet forum, then obviously it's ok to do the same. The Bible never speaks about turning the other cheek or anything to that effect.

I do take the attacks like a believer, it's who I am.

Well, good for you. God's baking fresh cookies as we speak.

Choosing another path is not dismissing non believers reality.

No, but Judging them is. And I get the pleasure of seeing more judgemental Christians than not. I seem to recall something about Judge not...lest you shall be judged. Or something like that.

The modern day Christian has forgotten that the meek shall inheirit the earth, the merciful shall obtain mercy, the peacemakers are the children of God, and so on.

While you go on about how humble you are...oh wait.

 

[ch33zw1z]

Faith is not proof.

Oh ya, you're all such matyrs.

Please hold on, I'm going to prepare the lion pit and the crosses. It's called the fast path to heaven.

So you're admitting no believer in these forums has attacked a non believer first?

I like cookies

I'll let God do the judging of your life. It's just my belief you're an ass.
