MathGeek Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Did we piss in your cornflakes? Did we call you in the middle of dinner? Did we rat you out for having an illegal cable subscription? I am all for freedom of speech and religion, yet I am also for the freedom of leaving my neighbors alone. We have minds and we've used them to understand why Christianity is not a viable system of belief and living one's life. How does my existence threaten yours? Is it just the thought that is offensive, much like the thought of two homosexuals being intimate behind closed doors? I sincerely don't understand why you come into our tent and try to inject your noxious "Christian insanity" into our bloodstreams? It gets annoying reading your inane defenses of a tribal sky beast that hasn't done anything useful for humanity since...ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thurisaz Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 We both know the answer don't we? They've become Good Krystchens by making themselves slaves of their cult's dogma and shutting down their brains. They have no life anymore. Their cult is their life. You say or even think anything against their cult, to them it's a personal insult. Morons, all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caretaker Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Ugh A few weeks ago, when I was riding the Greyhound into Seattle for Winter break, I was just barely on the Washington side of the Columbia when a passenger across the aisle from me started mumbling to me "Being Chwischin is the vewy best ting." Over and over and over again. Milton from Office Space was more coherent. I was just ignoring this phrase, but he kept on repeating it ad nauseum hoping I would respond favorably to him. You know, I have this theory. Those particular Christians who go out of their way to spread the word must have some degree of Asperger's Syndrome. Just like I have certain fixations (Star Trek, anybody?), they just gotta go out of their way to spread The Word to others just I sometimes want to talk about Star Trek to somebody. No, I don't mean those ones who more or less passively believe and don't preach to the world like its some seven-year itch that needs to be scratched.

noob Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Based on the overabundance of them in the last couple of weeks, I think it was their New Year’s resolution to get back on the “save the heathens” treadmill!!! Unfortunately, from what I’ve been reading, they’ve let themselves get so far out of shape; they’re not even capable of turning on the machine. Or maybe Caretaker is correct and this is really what’s going on: Those particular Christians who go out of their way to spread the word must have some degree of Asperger's Syndrome. I had to force myself to read a couple of these threads. I find them incredibly distasteful. So, why do I persist? For the very reason iskerbibel stated last night in the “Hi… I’m a Christian” thread. ThreeD, I'd just like to say howdy and welcome to the forum. Glad you're here- you're helping people out in ways that you can't possibly understand (yet?). Oh, it helps. It helps a lot!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraphicsGuy Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 They HAVE to bother us. They're on a Mission From God™. *sigh* Unfortunately true. I don't know about the rest of you, but when I was a Xian I would often post on various forums (Xian and non-Xian) truly believing that "God had sent me there". Especially if I would meet a new friend that needed help or got in an argument with someone over some trivial bit of doctrine. So, I would dump my steaming spiritual load and if it wasn't accepted I would "shake the (virtual) dust from my feet" and move on with my arrogant head shoved up my ass feeling that I'd done what the Lard asked me to do... Bleh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antlerman Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Personally I think those who come here with their doctrines in hand are mostly doing so for reasons of their own doubt. They come to test their abilities to bolster the idea that they "understand" it; it being the cheap little arsenal of arguments they've been supplied with by those brightest of leaders in their midst, which they wield, I believe, in the hope that they will see a gleam on their wooden swords through which they can gain confidence and "really believe" when they see its power. This all is motivated out of their doubt, and rightly so. How in looking to the quality of their leaders, despite their bluster and cocky confidences, can they hold them in genuine respect when the content of their confidence rests in flat out denials? How can any half-educated person in this culture reconcile a world of far-reaching knowledge take true confidence in the opinions of those who don't address that knowledge, but rather dismiss it on the sole basis it doesn't agree with their ideas? So, doubt. That's why they come. To test their faith. All I can say to that with kindness, we should cleft their swords of wood with surgical precision, by which they can wonder at the whole of their confidence in their leaders. I welcome them to test their mettle for their own harsh confrontation with their doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiracyOfTheHead Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Theres also the ones who truly believe that the power of the Holy Spirit will rain down on their words or they believe that the word has power DYNAMIS enough to change peoples minds, remember how the bible said that the word is living and powerful, sharper than any two edged sword...and they wer to go out casting down imagination and any false thing that sets itself against the knowledge of god?? I used to think that even though they werent believing at the time, I had sown good seed and it would someday convict some of them, maybe just one, so they go out like johnny rotten apple-seed with the intention that the very WORD itself will do its magic in our hearts.

deb Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 This is one of the things I was never able to do for the "cause"...I just couldn't bring myselft to "testify"!

OnceConvinced Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 We are decieved! We have been led astray by Satan.

Guest end3 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 This very thread is what keeps me coming back to defend a position that I think is worthy of defense, that is, defending folks crapped upon by the resident ilk. There is NO enlightenment out of Christianity for these "enlightened" ex-ers, only crappy behavior and more hatred. Again, save me the whining.

agnosticator Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 THE REAL WORLD IS MORE THAN ENLIGHTENING end3. You are defending "ropes of sand", that couldn't save you from the death you are falling to. The harder you grasp your faith, the more life slips away through your fingers.

Naiya Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Seriously, won't there be more room in heaven without us? Christianity is not a viable option because I refuse to bow down and worship a god who is: 1. Cruel and sadistic To send his own children to hell when he was the one who created them with inherent curiousity and flaws. There's no way out of this one--God created us and Satan, and God blames US for fucking up? Uh, I don't think so. God knows everything. Either he MADE us in such a way KNOWING anyone with a rational mind would not be able to blindly obey him, KNOWING that anyone with empathy would realize that a relationship based on reward/punishment is not love, OR God screwed up in making us and therefore isn't all powerful. 2. Not there for me ever, let alone when I need him 3. Unable or unwilling to keep his promises I believe that Christians bother us out of fear. It's based on their flawed "just world" hypothesis (which I'll make another thread about later). In reality, the world is not just. Bad guys get away. People get hurt. But you make do with the time you know you have, and YOU give it meaning yourself. When you are the person who decides how and why your life has meaning (or even if it doesn't), it is so much more fulfilling that giving it away to an abusive sadistic being who can't even prove he exists.
