I have no doubt a man named Jesus Christ walked this Earth. I also have no doubt of the grief he would feel as a result of all things done in his name. When History clearly shows us the bad far out weighing the good, a belief of this kind, no matter how well established, how well intentioned,  is ultimately a failure… and you can apply that to any religion.

I know that, you know that and he would concur. It’s man made idealism which forces humanity to take sides, the result our grief filled planet all in the name of whoever or whatever…that’s why it fails and why it’s truly irrelevant and wrong.

It is not the idealism that is wrong my friend. It is mans fault for failing to live up to what is expected of us. We are the weak ones, not God.

Whilst I admire Barack Obama’s charisma and his openness about his faith, I can’t help but feel something is not right about America. We need someone who is gonna lead by example in these hard times and I truly believe that Sarah Palin is the person to turn America into Christian America once more.

Let’s pray that it happens and God comes back on her watch.

I think the problem with religion is people like you. You set up a site for no purpose other than to give smarmy, simplistic and self gratifying retorts. You use the same old responses to issues thinking you can some how convince non believers they are wrong. If you had something new to say this whole thing might make more sense.

But again, this site is for your pleasure. I think its sick that you use imagery of Hitler to describe what you want to do to atheists. And you think you are reasonable.

Wait your right. God is real. I have been so silly. Guess I will start a blog so we can finally run these atheist scum back in to the hell portals they came out of.

Finally priests can have some quality one on one time that young kids need.

No longer do we have to live in fear of atheist gangs marauding our otherwise perfect gated communities.

I’ll never have to worry my self with thoughts or feelings again.

We can be the perfect cold blooded killing machines that god wants us to be.

Once we get these “others” out of the way, we can cleanse all who remain.

Until there is just you.

And you can sit there with no emotion and teach the animals about how great god is.

Oh my Lord, you are absolutely insane! I do not want to harm Atheists. I want to change their mind. I might come across as a bit repetitive but that’s because I’m expressing God’s Word and it never changes.

I think you need to calm down and stop coming across with a persecution complex. If you were to come to my house I’d sit you down with some nice fish chowder, a mug of cocoa and tell you the truth about God.

I could support abortion because it could be stopping a potential serial killer.

And God already knows what I and you are going to do, so he knows if I’m stopping serial killers or not and will deal with me as required.

God also knew way, way in advance that you were going to create this blog to ask your question of me, and He knew I would answer it tonight, April 10, 2010, about 11:30 p.m.

If were are going to answer my argument with your own, and you somehow convince I shouldn’t help a woman – like my girlfriend – abort the fetus inside her, then you might be allowing a serial killer in the not so far future free rain to commit murder.

Then it will be you, not me, answering to God for screwing up royally.

So if I allow my girlfriend to have her abortion, which would be God’s will, since he created everything and knows everything, how can you not be going against His will to even ask this question? Hmmmm?!?

You should ALWAYS support Abortion or whatever anyone does, because it’s what God has already planned.

(If you think otherwise, Don, you are not so god-fearing a Christian as you suppose, and you know where THAT will lead you.)

By your logic then we should always support genocide! Please think these things through before posting them. You are just avoiding the fact that you need to obey God’s law and not your own code, which is obviously a blindly secular one.

Secularism is truly a bane on society.

We like to think there is a natural relationship between the words we use and the world around us, and superficially there is when words are representative of specific persons, places, and things with which we have intimate contact (e.g., my face, my house, my child, my car).

Beyond this knowing interaction, most representational words are abstract and generic (e.g., tree, dog, car, lake) while non-representational words are nothing more than mental proxies for multi-worded definitions (e.g., God, Heaven, Hell, Sin, Soul, Afterlife, Truth, Evil, Fact). Non-representational words have no references or agents in the ‘real world’ so can only derive their meaning by calling upon other words, a completely made-up and arbitrary process, and wholly subjective.

While I can point to a “tree” in the real world and I can point to a ” rock” in the real world, or a dog, or a fire, or an atom in an electron microscope, the only place I’m able to point to “God” or “Heaven” or the “Soul” are…where? Only as words in books, because ideas like God or Heaven or Soul exist by definition alone and are not based on anything measurable or falsifiable. They rely on subsets of other abstract definitions in order to be ‘known’ and cannot be known outside these definitions.

Religious ideas, supernatural ideas, mystical and occult ideas exist by way of definition alone and vanish in the absence of language. Trees and rivers and rocks don’t disappear in silence, but gods and ghosts and demons do (only to re-appear again whenever mouths or books are opened) and so much more than these. Even history, literature, philosophy, science, and politics will all melt away when language is removed.

Where is Plato outside the book? Where is Jesus? Muhammad? Postmodernism? Critical theory? Culture needs language to operate, so what does this ‘mean’ about culture if language is artificial? What does this ‘mean’ about us and the way we live our lives (or is it the other way around)?

When a person claims that ‘God is all-powerful or ‘God is all-knowing’ or ‘Heaven or Hell await us when we die’, was this information derived from direct interaction with the physical world or from language alone? If I remove language I can still point to my face, I can still point to a tree, but I am unable to point to God or even the the terms used to define God’s attributes (e.g., Omniscient, Omnipotent). In other words, God is defined by terms that exist themselves only by way of definition, as mental constructs, and not as anything mensurable in the real world. God, therefore, is only a word and literally ‘defined’ into existence. Where can God be found outside of language (or Heaven, or Hell, or Angels, or the Soul, or Life-After-Death)?

Saying ‘God is all-knowing’ is as meaningful, therefore, as saying ‘Galfaloon is Omni-Spritely’ since in both cases the subject and object rely on interior definitions alone to be known (i.e., neither ‘God’ nor ‘all-knowing’ or ‘Galfaloon’ nor ‘Omni-Spritely’ are found anywhere outside of abstract language). What an ingenious trap! Using subsets of artificial terms to argue the character of other artificial terms (akin, perhaps, to molding an idol out of clay and giving it made-up attributes then calling the idol a representation of God and its attributes God’s attributes).

This is the counterfeit nature of language, since all subjects and objects rely on artificial subsets for definition.

Language, therefore, is an imaginary patterning system we use to point to-

and-from ourselves, each other, other things in the universe, and things that exist only in the mind as subsets of language. It makes no difference whether we’re talking/writing about Creationism (”Intelligent Design”) or Evolution (”Darwinism”), since the language involved in both cases is part of the same imaginary patterning system. The arguments used to defend Creationism and the arguments used to defend Evolution both consist of words that do not exist in the real world. Words are not natural. Words are symbolic components used in the imaginary patterning system and symbolic components do not exist . Words are not real.

The important issue here isn’t whether someone is arguing from a religious point-of-view or a scientific point-of-view, a liberal point-a-view or a conservative point-a-view, a Christian point-of-view or an atheist point-of-view, but that irrespective of the words chosen the world simply exists, untouched and unchanged by the discussion.

A hundred billion words exchanged will never make a scientific theory into physical reality nor will it produce a spirit, a miracle, an angel, or life-after-death. The world, the universe, all the various things that make up the universe simply are, while language is an imaginary patterning system we lay over things to interpret them and invest them with meaning (although ‘meaning’ is purely conceptual and does not exist in the real world).

When we imagine the world to be one way or the other—e.g., whether natural or supernatural—it’s as if we are looking through language and symbols to see the world, then mistake our language and symbols to be the world. Language and symbols are not the world. The world precedes all language and symbols. The world simply is.

You make some very interesting points here. I think the problem lies with the weakness of language.  Only through faith can language take on new deeper meanings that can’t be explained to or understood by non-believers.

You don’t have one single evidence for Jesus’ divinity. All you do is keep saying, “oh scientists can’t explain this, therefore Jesus is God.”

When knowledge is lacking for an absolute conclusion, a neutral and factual approach is the most effective and reasonable method to obtain truth. And obviously you do not have enough evidence (not even one) to say that your collection of 66 iron age books is the absolute source of anything. So, unless you can provide a reasonable evidence, you, or any other Christian must admit that your belief is just an opinion, just as believing in santa or fairies.

The evidence for His divinity can be found in the Bible. How come all of the books in Bible fail to contradict one another once when they were written over a span of several thousand years by many different authors? How come they all manage to predict the coming of the Messiah.

You’ll obviously try to explain this all away by saying it isn’t scientific but either way I just don’t think you want to know the truth.

Over the past few days I have been visiting the Atheist mega blog Unreasonable Faith which is run by a nice young man called Daniel.

Unfortunately for Daniel his blog is inhabited by a gang of marauding Atheists who would gladly shit on Jesus’s grave just to prove that they are for real.

These Atheists are so devout that they spend many hours in their basements in Vermont slapping themselves over the head repeatedly with the Living Word like primitive little squirrels just to mock the Lord all the more.

Once they’ve massacred the Bible they will then put it in the toilet and flush it until the toilet backs up. This is the Unreasonable Faith way.

Since I’ve been over in Unreasonable Faith I have been insulted incessantly for being a believer. It will only be a matter of time before the Unreasonable Faith brigade turn up on my doorstep wielding ice cream scoops.

These maniacs will be out for my asshole. They will butcher my fanny until it’s as stretched and colorful as the menacing grins on their faces.

I feel so depressed and stressed at the moment that I’ve shitting black pellets for 4 days now. I’ve lost 5lbs and my balls look all discolored in the bath.

The very fact that I’m staring at my naked body in the mirror is a testimony to the fact that the Unreasonable Faith blog helps warp minds.

How long will it be before I place my head between my legs in a vain attempt to lick the rear of my nutsack?

They are out to get me. All of them. Out to pollute my mind and turn me into one of them.

I’ve even been touching myself whilst watching Oprah. This has got to stop. I’ve never felt so sad in my life.

I think someone that would get an abortion doesn’t believe they can adequately provide for or adequately love a child. How would a parent like that be fair to a child? Wouldn’t the child be better off with a free pass to heaven?

Sure you care about the unborn. Then they are born and its time to be tough on them because life is tough.

But then if they disagree with you maybe you talk down to them about their beliefs. Maybe you align them with Hitler in your mind and try to squelch them out of existence along with your majority.

You treat them like the scum of the Earth.

Perhaps some people don’t want that for the baby they got pregnant with as a result of a mistake.

God can’t prevent abortions and he can’t stop you from dehumanizing the living.

OK so where do we stop at? Shall we give every child a free pass to heaven just because it smells like Pol Pot and pisses itself more than Hitler signing death warrants?

What stops us from kicking grandma down the stairs because she’s SHIT THE FUCKING BED FOR THE 10TH NIGHT IN A ROW??

Thank fuck you aren’t a doctor or a midwife otherwise I can picture you between the legs of a mother in labor with a miners cap on, thrusting a garden trowel in at her with all of the reckless earnest of a horny dickless virgin.

I hate you.

Are you actually capable of rational thought?

Lets pretend there a 25 year old cokehead hooker gets pregnant. If the child does live through the birth, then he or she while be addicted to cocaine for life and have serious health problems, have no responsible parents, and will probably live a miserable life.

Would an abortion be wrong then?

Or what if a 18 year old married couple have sex, use protection, but she gets pregnant anyway. Both of them would then have to devote their entire lives, and give up any chance of higher education and a successful career to take care of the child.

The kid would ruin both of the parents lives, and whose fault is it then?

I could understand putting the kid up for adoption though, but that doesn’t always work.

Adoption might not always be an ideal solution but it’s a hell of a lot better than just condemning the poor soul to death.  The scenario you set up is unavoidable especially if the mother was to give her life to Jesus, that’s why it’s crucial for Christians to get the message out there that there is another solution to the problem.

I’ve been visiting Youtube a lot recently and have come across a number of videos I want to share with you over the first few weeks.

The first one is from British comedian Ricky Gervais and his conversion to Atheism and you can see it below.

If Ricky Gervais truly loved Jesus then he wouldn’t have abandoned him in the way he has. The idea that Jesus is simply a ‘free invisible baby-sitter’ is an abhorrent idea. Christ went through so much for mankind and we have the like Gervais’s family just belittling his work.

It was obvious that Gervais’s brother Bob was fuelled by Satan. He managed to tempt a young Ricky Gervais away from God. He talks about body language and intution playing a part in uncovering his mothers lie but he seemed too willing to rubbish the idea of God in the first place.

If you wish there was a God then why not try to place your faith in him Ricky? This is your only time on earth but after death you will spend an eternity somewhere. It’s still up to you to decide where but time is running out.

Atheists do not get a bad press. Sure they ruin the concept of beauty in the world by basically saying that we are all alone in an accidental, uncaring universe.
