It’s 100% bullshit. The biggest source of religious bitterness I see comes from evangelical Christians who are outraged that they no longer get a free pass to insult marginalised people, interfere in civil law and insert their rituals into daily secular life. Their bitterness on this topic manifests itself into their victim-complex

Ehhh. Pretty close to Christmas time. Busy time. Why don’t you start a conversation?

Actually flying spaghetti monsters shrink as they get older. So in fact, that isn’t the baby flying spaghetti monster lying in a cradle next to his parents…because he is really old and when flying spaghetti monsters are born, they immediately eat their parent. So  his parent hasn’t been around for a long time! In fact they are having a goodbye…[Read more]

I’ve always lived in quite secular countries so the really really religious bit about Christmas has always been background noise. And the secular parts of Christmas (tree, gifts, food etc) dominate the holidays. I’m sure if I was in Folktown, Alabama and an atheist, I’d wear ear plugs and find excuses to avoid family events or else I might go…[Read more]

Nobody actually likes eating raw fish embedded in vinegar rice and seaweed. The fad will be over before New Year’s

 To receive the new birth is a blessing, but I have not received it. So far, I’ll have to stand on Judgement Day, like everyone else. “The books were open and the dead were judged” Only how my life broadcasts my belief can be evidence for mercy since all men have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

Yeah well, that’s like t…[Read more]

That’s a misreading of the evidence.

Concrete evidence that your paradigm may be wrong. I can’t even make heads or tails out of it. Was there an advance race on earth billions of years in the past c…

Michel, every response you give helps you descend into greater and greater intellectual death. I quoted 5 quotes from three different books. And those five quotes are a fraction of those in the bible that unambiguously describe hell as burning agony, eternal torture. Your only defense has been to claim I only gave two quotes (I gave five) and that…[Read more]

Well the pagan interpretation of hell is as such. Scripture speaks of the second death after the resurrection to Judgement.

They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might

Damnit I did forget about the curve. You’re right. I have to add a lot more factors into my formula. I also forget about lightening strikes which are more likely to hit you if you are alone on a big sidewalk far as possible from the building as otherwise its almost certain the building would get it. And while on the subject there are also…[Read more]
