I do NOT believe in god

[horsecrazy120]

Well, in my stance on the subject I am neither Christian or Atheist. I was raised Apostolic, walked the Path closely for 15 years. I left it because I felt there was more that I was looking for than what I was getting.
I am now happily Pagan.
I found my niche in spirituality and it works for ME, that's all that matters. It doesn't matter to me what religion anyone is from or even if they believe only in themselves. What matters is the character of the person and how they choose to act.

I don't think, I KNOW!! Wow, it is too bad that you won't open your heart. I pray that God will show you, that God will come into your life and you will believe. For me, I was running around drinking partying, and wasting my life away, I figured I was only going to die, might as well get there quicker, yeah right, I seen all my rummy pals, die pretty quick also, they were young, then God wanted me to see other things, it is amazing how my life has changed. I tried everything to quit drinking, nothing helped, I just didn't have the will, why should I stop, ya know, I had nothing and no one, as far as I was concerned. But I seen something that changed all that, and I guess that was the only way, I pray your heart changes, but until you believe, you won't believe, and ya probably dont' even know what that means. Ya gotta have faith, He loves us, He created us. He sent His Son for us. The devil is the one who controls doubt and disbelief, and when that is present, well, I will let you draw the rest.

I also say, I cannot believe anyone can congratulate this. How can you serve two masters, you either serve God or you serve the devil, there is a heaven and a hell. that is it. No more. Do you think humans created themselves, ha look what we can do. We certainly can mess alot of things up that is for sure. Yea, congratulations for speaking your mind, none here. I serve God.

So why exactly can't God and the Devil sit down together and have a freakin' round of MOJITOS and shoot the sh@#?
 That's exactly why I give no truth to belief in God and religion, because every ideal it embodies is so separated-which is contradictory to the whole idea of belief to begin with!!!!

Sooooooooo if you serve God, what bar do you work at, and what kind of drinks does God like??? Is God just one of your regular barflies??? Does "silent" J show up with him, or does he drink alone??? Does God play darts? Does he smoke Cuban cigars, or does he prefer Black and Milds?? Drinking Games? Has he ever had to be carded??? Has he ever gotten thrown out of the bar for accidentally changing all of the beer taps to fine wines?

OMG!!!!  God is the Master?  He's a GOLFER??!?!?!?! WOW I had no Idea!!! When did he win the Masters Cup, he's probably REALLY GOOD at Golf, and instead the traditional Green jacket-I bet you they made it technocolored!!!! What's his favorite club in his bag?  Is "silent" J his catty??? Has he ever been in a playoff with the big "D" and Tiger Woods or John Daly? If so, who won?.....

These are questions I must know the answers to.....Please enlighten me, all knowing master server!!!!!!!

Why do most Christians assume the people who don't buy into their religion are all drug-dealing, stealing, killing, whorish drunkards?  I don't smoke, I don't drink, stealing and killing are bad m'kay, and I don't sleep around.  If you need some imaginary deity to prevent you from doing these things, then I say that's sad, but go for it.

We congratulate it because it is you, my dear, who does not know who is truly correct in this situation.  Hard lesson about life: just because the masses follow one way does not make it correct or right.  And the two masters are Impossible Wishful Thinking vs. Reality, NOT "the good guy" vs. "the bad guy".

No, humans did not create themselves...well, at least not in the beginning, which is what I assume you're referring to.  We're doing too much of "creating ourselves" today, lol.  In regards to your phrase, "Ha, look what we can do" I refer back to why god was so incompetent in the first place that he couldn't understand basic logic...Adam and Eve could not know eating the magical fruit was wrong until after they ate it!

They kinda sorta did sit down and have a round, or at least made a bet of sorts in the story of Job.  Job was a really good, God fearing man.  So one day God basically said to the devil "look at Job.  Isn't he awesome?  He loves me and worships me.  He's great!"  The devil was like "duh he worships you.  You give him everything. Take away all the stuff you've given him and I bet he won't love you anymore." God disagreed, but He allowed the devil to test Job.  The only rule: he wasn't allowed to kill Job.  The devil runs wild destroying Job's life.  He loses everything.  His children, possessions, etc.  He ends up covered in boils. People are telling Job he must have done something to make God mad, so he should just curse God and die.  Job won't do it though.  So the devil loses, God restores Job's health and doubles his riches. 

The End

That vid was one of funniest I have ever seen! I know a few of my friends, who also happen to be Christians, will absolutely love it too and not get all bent out of shape. They fall into the (small) group I love to discuss the topic of religion with because we don't argue, they are not closed minds, and they are reasonable enough to agree that much of what is written in the Bible is impractical and impossible. I'm sure you'll get taken to task by some on here for your 'blasphemy', but I loved it!

Glad you liked it!     Here are the top three channels I recommend if you're looking for some more afternoon atheist entertainment:

That's good you have some reasonable Christian friends!

The bible is not the only record of the birth life and death of Jesus of Nazareth, the Nazarene, which means  thats where he came from. Those that come from the fertile crescent the wedge of land between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers still take the name of their hometown. Remember Saddam Hussein al Takriti from Takrit. That He lived and died during the reigns of Herod the Great and Pontius Pilate is unquestionable, too many secondary sources to back up His existence. Tradition and some historical sources call Him Rabbi (teacher). He taught that Rome was not the ultimate source of power, wealth and had ticked off the power that be. He shook up the ruling class of the Hebrews calling them out for being hypocrites and worse. Recall that the world was a much more violent place 2000 years ago and public execution was commonplace. Via Delarosa  wasn't named for tears shed for the Christ It carried that name as the route to Golgatha- loosely translated Skull Hill or Place of Death. ON the other hand, Modern Bible thumpers  are sorely misinformed thinking that the Good Book is the unabridged unquestionable word of God. The current version was translated from the Spanish and Latin that were translated from the Greek that were translated from Aramaic and although it is alleged that Jesus (pronounce it hay soos) spoke it, The words were written from the oral tradition. I believe in History recorded, not he said he said. Christian principles are for the most part good. The practice of modern christianity is at best questionable. Their holier than thou bit has been around for at least 5000 years. Professed and practiced are vastly different. You can only find God within yourself you sure can't believe anything someone tells you about Him. There IS something more to life than skin & bones but I can't tell you what it is. Any responses from our Mormon friends about the Inspired word of God delivered here in 1840 America?  fomclol.

Hhahahaha nice

[queenofnines]

I will say it again belief and non belief is lame. I prefer to stick with what I know.

Exactly.  Why does one have to "believe" in god?  If that isn't obvious irony, I don't know what is.
