Holy fuck, that one always annoyed me to no end.

God's ways are higher than our ways. The ultimate escape answer for when god theology doesn't match up to reality. "This doesn't add up." "Well, you just don't understand god then."

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.

Whoop, whoop! In my college ministry on Wednesday night, instead of a sermon, sometimes they would play Cameron & Comfort's "Way of the Master" evangelism training videos. If you've never seen them, the Christian shows their true heart. It is literally a series of instructional videos on how to lead people into god by showing them their "sinful nature." As a Christian, I thought those dudes were a little forceful and manipulative. Now, I find them repulsive and detestable.

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.

I never thought people like that actually existed until I heard the stories on this forum. I am so sorry those christians were such ignorant and arrogant fuckheads.

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?
