"So let's not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't give up"
(Galatians 6:9, NLT)

[JediJohnnie]

Romans 14:10-13

You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister? Or why do you treat them with contempt? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat. It is written:

“‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord,
‘every knee will bow before me;
    every tongue will acknowledge God.’”
 
 So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God.
  Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister.

Why repost a requoted bit of religious nonsense you don't follow?  You're in these forums judging constantly, (so am I but, I subscribe to judging and you, the hypocritical pseudo-xtian allegedly do not).

Romans 14:10-13

[jcribb16]

They don't affect my beliefs or standards, or studies and research, in any way whatsoever. You've made your choice and I've made mine.  

Again, such an attitude implicitly embodies blind faith and an unwillingness to question your own unsubstantiated assumptions.  At any rate, posting dissenting/opposing viewpoints isn't especially intended to penetrate the wall of darkness put up by self-inflicted blind faith but, on the off chance that others will utilize what reasoning skills they have to decide what's irrational superstition and what's not for themselves.

That's my business, not yours.  I don't get why you can't seem to understand that people are free to make their own choices, based on several different things.  Keep using those words towards me - if they make you feel stronger and bigger - go for it.  It's my personal choice what I do, and what I do does not affect you in your life - so whatever you want to think - fine, think it.  

Have a good evening.  4:45 a.m. will be here too soon.

What happens at 0445?  Hope you can understand a joke every once in a while, because some of us don't use clocks anymore, and don't get up until we feel like waking up.

I had to sub today.

That's my business, not yours.  

Yet, you made it 'public business' when you posted your religious beliefs on a publically-accessible forum.  That means such superstitious proselytizations posted by adherents such as yourself run the 'risk' of being opposed/agreed with/promoting more proselytizing or, ignored.  You don't get to choose which of those options other members choose.  I've been 'encouraging' such personal choice all along, whereas a faith-blinded standpoint does not encourage challenging inherent assumptions and arriving at conclusions based upon reason in lieu of superstitions.

You seem to forget that anyone in here can choose to or choose not to respond in a certain way, just to appease certain posters who would rather prey on believers and make fun of them.  You make me laugh when you say you've been 'encouraging.'  Your 'encouragement' in the light of its definition is quite questionable since you are more provoking and mocking such personal choice.  You are not tolerant of a believer's choice, except in your way of still mocking their choice and trying to make them look foolish. 

[jcribb16]

I don't know any versus specifically by name and location, but I think the one that is most important to me is the one where Jesus talks about the importance of the Golden Rule.  If everyone treated each other the way they want to be treated, it would be a great world to live in.

Absolutely!

Great encouraging verse!  Thank you!

Romans 14:10-13

Righteous anger is allowed.   You don't have a "free pass" just because you aren't a believer.  You are still accountable for your words and actions, as well as the next person. 

King James Version (KJV)
Ephesians 4:26

26"Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:"

[falcon9]

You seem to forget that anyone in here can choose to or choose not to respond in a certain way...

On the contrary, you seem to forget that I'd previously reminded you of that very same thing before pretended this was your idea.

... just to appease certain posters who would rather prey on believers and make fun of them. 

making posts opposing religious blind faith on a forum is not 'preying' "on believers", as much as you'd prefer to over-dramatize the actual situation here.

You make me laugh when you say you've been 'encouraging.'  Your 'encouragement' in the light of its definition is quite questionable since you are more provoking and mocking such personal choice. 

Once again, you misunderstand the use of a word in context.  In this instance, I stated that I was encouraging those who are able to use secular rational thought processes, rather than religious faith-based irrational processes.  The former doesn't constitute religious proselytization since 'logic' isn't a religion.  While the latter is religious proselytization because the blind faith-based paradigm underlying it is a religion.

You are not tolerant of a believer's choice, except in your way of still mocking their choice and trying to make them look foolish. 

I'm not required to be tolerant of an irrational choice; just as I'm to required to be "tolerant" of a cannibal, child molester or serial killers "choice".

[falcon9]

Righteous anger is allowed.

Such self-"righteous anger" is still "judging" and still a xtian hypocrisy.  Since I'm not xtian, my admission to judging is not hypocrital.   

You don't have a "free pass" just because you aren't a believer.  You are still accountable for your words and actions, as well as the next person. 

I didn't presume the "free pass" your fellow fundie did when he posted a religious admonishment against judging when he judges often, (and incorrectly to boot).  My posted words are accountable here insofar as they must comply with FC's posting policies and TOS, not to some hypothetical egregore in which I don't believe.

[falcon9]

Here's in example of 'encouraging' irrational blind faith, (as opposed to logicalthought processes of rationality). Doubtless you're still unable to discern the difference in your faith-blindness.

(Galatians 6:9, NLT)

Great encouraging verse!  Thank you!

Yes, you have proven over and over how intolerant and disrespectful you are to believers.  AND, you have proven over and over of how who do not accept anything a believer offers.  You are simply enjoying causing dissension and trying to provoke anger, trying to spam and smash a simple Bible verse thread, and trying your best to make believers look foolish.  

You have a difficult time understanding that in the end, it matters not how much you trolled and spammed believers - their choice doesn't affect your choice one way or the other.  You seem to really be bothered that people choose to believe in God.  It shouldn't matter to you - you choose to do your own thing.  You have to just keep on and on, making yourself look the most foolish one of all.

Well, see, here's the thing.  What he posted also complied with FC's posting policies and TOS.  You are the one who took it and made something of it, thinking that you are given a "free pass" to judge others, just because you are not a believer.  Judging others is way more involved than just in the Bible. 

You are judging believers contemptuously simply because you don't approve of their choice.  It's none of your business what their choice is.  You made your choice and that's your business.  Respect and courtesy are also a given, in general, when speaking with others.  It's called good manners.  But you know this, right?  You just choose to be unmannerly towards believers because of how you view what they are choosing to base their decision on.  That does not mean that you have the privilege and right of being so hateful to believers - you are choosing to act that way.

Because religion has been so tolerant of atheism in the past.

You seem to think that somehow we are attacking you. That by disagreeing with you we are trolls. A troll is someone who shares an opinion that they don't actually hold to get a reaction from someone else. Guess what? Me, Falcon9, and all the other atheist/non-religious proponents on this thread ACTUALLY hold these opinions to be true and factual. They don't just simply believe in them, they live these ideas and use it to affect and alter their lives. We are not trolls trying to prey on week little Christians. A simple search in that search bar up there would reveal several threads started by atheist that has Christians and other religious proponents posting in them, disagreeing with the original poster and other atheist who where sharing their thoughts.

Your posted words have nothing to do with pertaining to "some hypothetical egregore in which you don't believe."  You're losing your logic now.  Your posted words have to do with your mocking and hateful and intolerant attitude towards those who believe in God.
