yeah I guess he was mostly trying to insult me
Layers of arrogance and delusion...
(while you tell everyone (or me) they're a fool and even call them names
for believing in something )
#2, what makes you think were (I'm) blind, maybe we see something you don't.
#3, if beleiving in Christ makes me a sheep (also the analogy used in the bible) then baaaaa
#4, pointing out the atheist's options of nothingness (if their right) or burning forever (if I'm right) is certainly up to me. If I get one person thinking, then I've done God's work.
#5 why would I be disappointed if your not an atheist?
Again the arrogance reference with presumtion...I never said you were an athiest.
#6 Gods will is pretty much spelled out in the bible. There's not a whole lot you have to infer, unless you think he's just kidding.
It seems the arrogance and presumtion lie mostly on your end.
And no Gunny, I don't think you misunderstood his post...I just think you called him on it.

No, didn't really have a target in mind, no individuals here were on my radar in particular. Not trying to insult. Don't believe I called anyone a name.

Stating that you know for a FACT that "GOD" is Not a Fairy Tale and Religion is NOT bullcrap??? Sounds Arrogant, Sorry. You don't even specify a God, yet you assume to know which god and WHICH religion isn't Bullcrap. So you are saying that ALL Gods and ALL religions aren't Bullcrap? No You are assuming from a Christian Centric POV that I MUST be speaking of YOUR God, and YOUR religion. Funny... Then qualified by saying (Some Are)...
#2, what makes you think were (I'm) blind, maybe we see something you don't.[/Quote] Maybe you do, whatcha got? But years of listening to the masses prattle on about how they are saved and what they "See" leads me to believe most are delusion. Or at least desired delusion because many have never even had a true "vision" or sight.

I said Sheeple, because following a belief out of blind faith is ignorant. Just moving with the heard requires NO thought or effort on your part. Small minded, herbivores do it all day. Curious term sheep.
#4, pointing out the atheist's options of nothingness (if their right) or burning forever (if I'm right) is certainly up to me. If I get one person thinking, then I've done God's work.

Funny if this is truly something you belive you are doing then we are both working the same side of the creek. If I get one person thinking, truly thinking then I've done my job, and they find themselves closer to God. though I still would never presume to think for a second I've done HIS work.

Above you state "I pity the atheist, it must be an empty existance indeed..." Sounds to me like you very clearly refer to me with the definite article "THE". Then you assume that if a person is an athiest it must be an empty existance. Interesting how some Christians want to hoist themselves on high and proclaim how FULL their lives are now that they have fed themselves a fairy tale... Sad that their lives were so empty to begin with...

Yeah, the Bible... There's a topic we have covered before... The bible was written by man, or if you prefer thousands of men. Might as well swear allegiance to and quote passages out of Easop's fables. The First half the Bible, the ORIGINAL bit reads pretty well, makes some sense. The second half though... I dunno seems more conveniant and tacked on for justification and crowd control...
Justin, it's not personal unless you want it to be. I got ya upset and I apologize. I find modern Christianity as it's practiced in America today to be a farce, a joke. Hoardes of people going through the motions without thought, without question. Listening to a man in robes TELL THEM what the book says how to Vote, How to think... It's Twisted, it's corrupt, it's frankly evil in my view.
I just sometimes hope to hear an original thought when I spout off. Hope to find an original idea sometimes, once in awhile I hear one.
I try not to point a finger at ANYONE in particular...
