Further proof that no amount of reason, logic, or evidence will reach a mind that deeply poisoned by Christianity.

As one of my favorite podcasters once said, people think that the power of christ is a real superpower.

My own damn common sense, it would seem. I was hardly "fully converted" in the first place. My stint in Christianity was a two year college phase. Realizing how hard it was to reconcile the fantasy with what I knew to be reality. None of it fits together. Fuck prayer. Try telling that to someone indoctrinated from childhood though. Thank goodness that wasn't my situation. Sheer dumb luck.

I'm sure many here wish it were wholly possible. There does not appear to be a high success rate unfortunately. The biggest issue is that religion is specifically designed to trap believers, when you see how it affects people psychologically. It preys on the human psyche in the worst ways imaginable.

For the veil of Christ covers all sins, amirite?

I can see the kids in my old college ministry doing something like this thinking it counts as evangelism.

"UPDATE: The building passed the fire marshal's inspection! Praise god! Thank you so much for your prayers!" Like seriously, this was no act of god. It was human work of properly prepping a building for inspection. Fuck the fuck off.

So I still sometimes browse my old church's facebook page, to amuse myself with whatever has recently been posted. The church is a 22-year-old mobile church (renting school auditoriums for sunday services) finally getting its own permanent building. Tonight, they posted asking for prayers for the fire marshal's inspection in the morning. They've been doing the same over the last few months for all the other permits and inspections required for a building. Isn't it kind of amusing that they want such normal practices that are likely to get passed to be prayed over? Do they have such little faith in their all-powerful god to get a building open to the public he allegedly cares so much for? Lol, I thought it was amusing, as I do with many of my old church's non-dangerous idiosyncrasies.

Was going to say exactly this. They will fit anything to mean whatever they need it to mean so as to fit in with their god logic.

The sign of a believer who knows he has run into some unanswerable and/or unjustifiable questions.

Jeez, Joe. You never put it together that the hell you believe in is a place where the unbelievers burn and suffer and bleed and rot in anguish for all eternity while the good little believers like you get to sing songs all day while ignoring that the god you worship sends people to such a place even though he "loves" them? Or maybe it's just a control method preachers use so they can maintain their careers of selling fictitious bullshit. Why else would the church need money, even though god can apparently accomplish nigh impossible tasks?

"Great discussing with you all!" Yes, it must be great to think yourself unaccountable for the tripe that you have written regarding women as property and the discipline of children. The hoops you have to go through to justify your god's actions and words. It must be exhausting, the mental gymnastics. It's almost as if...it doesn't actually hold any salt in the real world.

Of course, you'd rather dodge the issues at hand than confront what your religion is about. Anything to keep your god on his pedestal and protect his ego from blame and bruising.

Ohhhhh. I see what you're saying. So because the scenario wouldn't come up where you would greet someone with remarking that you'd stone kids, that automatically means that this basis of what I was saying, that you could now tell someone there exists a situation in which you'd stone kids, is invalidated. I gotcha now. My mistake.

So you would actually be able to say now, "Hey, guys. What's up? Yeah, I'd stone my children if god was adamant in telling me to." I hope somewhere in you that you realize how revolting that is.
