Though alternatively, one could take my approach and post evidence that Jesus was gay. Whatever one chooses to do with this thread, it's clear that it does no one any good to take it seriously.

Guest Marty Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I wish we would just lock this shitty, pointless thread. After that fucking prayer from last week I'm more disgusted that annoyed. christian language has become revolting to me, I cringe when I hear the phrases.

midniterider Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Sunday Dispatch.701 Steve McQueen is one of my favorite actors. One thing I liked about him was that in scenes where he was being shot at, he looked scared. This made his films more realistic to me. He didn’t come across as a super hero immune to danger. He could express a wide range of emotions. I was watching one of his films a few nights ago and it brought back some thoughts about Steve McQueen and his life…and about his faith. The part of his life I want to share concerns the last part of his life. Note: Quoted paragraph is from Southern Yankee Gospel and McQueen quotes from Notes in the Key of Life. This final chapter of his life started when he hired a pilot to teach him to fly. "The pilot who taught him was a man in his early 60s by the name of Sammy Mason. Self-described as cranky and difficult to get along with, he became fast friends with McQueen. As they shared long hours in the air, talking together about the meaning of life, Steve sensed that there was something different about him. The more time they spent together, the more he wanted to know what Mason’s secret was. One day he asked him outright. Mason sat down with the aging actor and explained what, or rather who, had made the difference in his life. The answer, he said, was Jesus Christ." A few weeks later while attending church, McQueen accepted Christ. Several months later that year McQueen was diagnosed with pleural mesothelioma, a fast-spreading and incurable form of cancer. The news was crushing because he had expected God to use him in some great way now that he was a Christian. While he was undergoing experimental treatments for his cancer, McQueen met with some doctors who practiced visualization techniques to encourage healing. In his interviews with them, McQueen repeatedly talked about his faith and how he wanted to share it with others. "...you mentioned earlier about finding a cure in my life. Well, that cure was finding the Lord in my life.” McQueen endured several treatments and operations, but a physical cure was not to be. Four days after Billy Graham visited him in the hospital McQueen died with a Bible resting on his chest. It was opened to his favorite verse: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, so that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Mom got religious when she was diagnosed with cancer...Dad got religious his last couple years around 80 years of age. I think it's probably common when you feel death approaching to take on a faith. I would like to start writing my own fictional account of the afterlife so I'm ready. It will be a pagan type of afterlife story. I prefer my own personal fantasy to the premade Christian one. Christian heaven is for people too lazy to make up their own fantasy. It shows a lack of effort. :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously Ironhorse...why are you on this forum? To proselytize or to have discussions? Because I don't see the latter and the way you behave in this thread speaks for the first. No interest and no need for that. We do have an interest in honest and sincere discussion though. Unfortunately you used up all my benefits of doubts and if you don't make a huge effort to proof me otherwise I conclude your only and sole purpose to be on this forum is to proselytize...Or you are a complete troll.

duderonomy Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Isn't it true that the word for "actor" also means, or can mean, "hypocrite", in the Bible? So IH has a favorite hypocrite. Wow! We've all shown any lurkers that we are more patient than Jehovah. Even Jehovah drowned little unborn babies and young people and old men and women in the flood when He'd had enough of their bullshit. He didn't need a reason, other than that He wanted to flush his creation down the toilet of His creation. They thought about the evil He created all the time, and some of them even practiced it, so to Hell with them. He was done with them. I guess they weren't good enough for Jesus. Whatever.

Moderator TrueFreedom Posted August 4, 2014 Moderator Share Posted August 4, 2014 It's difficult to support a regime that retaliates for fifty or so military and three or four civilian casualties by killing one-thousand to fifteen-hundred civilians before asking us to provide more ammo so that they can reload during their two or three-day truce. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydisplayname Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I don't get why Christians are concerned over this war. According to their beliefs those who reject Jesus Christ are going to hell. Both the Jewish and Palestinian people reject Christ. That means if you believe Jesus is the son of god and that he died for your sins then you believe everyone in this crisis are going to be tortured for eternity anyway.
