I have finally put my life in the hands of the Lord

[falcon9]

I agree the joy of God in your life is ...

... A mind-numbing faith-blindness which inhibits rational thought.

Like I said, you are going to think what you choose to think, period.  You are holding today's Christians' responsible for something they did NOT do, nor do they approve of what those others did, using GOD'S NAME to achieve their personal vendettas of hatred of certain groups/types of people.  This is exactly what you and another poster are doing as well - trying to achieve your personal vendettas of hatred toward Christians, today, who genuinely love the Lord, and love their "neighbors" as asked by Christ to do.  The only thing you two have NOT done is getting rid of Christians' lives on here - thank goodness we have a computer screen in between.

Nowhere in any of my post did I implicitly nor implied that Christians of today are responsible for what Christians have done in the past. Such an idea is illogical and is not something I support.

I did say however that Christians in the past have done harm (and its obvious you agree to this) and that because they did such harm in the past that they have negatively impacted humanity as a whole. We are not trying to get rid of your lives, we are trying to make you see reason (a futile attempt at best, but we try.)

You are right and I apologize - the other poster has done that very thing so much that I was reacting as if you were saying the same thing he says.

I do agree about the past.  The problem I have with them in the past, is the honest question of their intentions.  If they were genuinely believers in Christ, who said the new and greatest commandment is to love everyone, then what or who gave them the right to do those things they did? 

There was intolerance of certain behaviors and ideas, and it appears that many let their own personal intolerant feelings interfere in making a Godly decision with those situations.  It seems they were believers in name only, but not in heart, and instead used God's name to do the things they did, thereby appeasing their consciences of any real and tragic wrongdoing.

... the other poster has done that very thing ...

False; "the other poster" has stated that the same religious belief system was held by those religious zealots as is held by religious zealots today.

There was intolerance of certain behaviors and ideas ...

Xtians killing 'unbelievers' exceeds "intolerance of certian behaviours and ideas"; making it a blood-soaked understatement.

I used to think my Mom was crazy when she said she talked to God and he gave her visions, ect.  The other night, I was going to bed, and all the sudden he spoke to me.  

While anyone has the option to have, or not have such superstitious religious beliefs, there is no valid evidence to support the attribution mentioned to a supernatural egregore.  Instead, such relies entirely upon "faith" and 'religious testimony'; a dubious subjective basis upon which one could claim anything.  If such were kept to oneself, it wouldn't become some sort of 'mind virus' spread by not keeping it to oneself.

you must have something to prove. yah,yah,yah, you have an expansive vocabulary,and it "screams", HELP, im sure you have plenty praying for you, its obvious you need it. SUPERSTAR!

[falcon9]

you must have something to prove. yah,yah,yah ...

What I've already proven is that no religious claim by any religious adherent has been proven by providing supporting evidence.  That makes such religious claim specious, (logically, devoid of substance).

im sure you have plenty praying for you ...

If any are, they are attempting to do so against my permission and such unsolicited magical intercessory rituals are intentionally rude, obnoxious, and santimonious on the part of such self-righteous religious zealots.  In return, (and under the auspices of the "golden rule"), I'll be sure to advise some pagan associates to proceed with some "rituals" on the behalf of those "praying" at me.

"BELIEVERS BEWARE:"

Notice "rituals" by his "pagan associates" are threatened to be used towards anyone praying for him.  Sounds like vengeful retaliation - wouldn't this be "construed" as "harmful" to believers who may be "silently" praying for him, in their own personal life, where they have the right to do as they wish?  I cannot see how this is not breaking the "golden rule" of a forum - with that kind of behavior and attitude toward believers.  See quote below:

Such "rituals" are the same thing as unsolicited "prayers"; attempts at magical intercessory rites intended to induce supernatural interventions.  Several religious adherents, (specifcally xtian ones), have "threatened" to 'aim' such malignant rituals at me after I posted that these were not welcome.  Your entire pseudo-accusation above is facetious and false.

There's no inherent 'threat' there even if the xtian "prayers" were inherent threats.

I reject your irrational intolerance and nonsense.

I reject ...

... rational thinking and logical reasoning; as demonstrated in your own repetitious irrationality.

Accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior is truly joy unspeakable and full of glory

[falcon9]

Accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior is truly ... unspeakable ...

Horror? there is evidence to support that contention which consists of four xtian-instigated Crusades, several xtian-instigated Inquisitions, many xtian-prosecuted witch hunts and numerous forced-assimulations of pagan cultures - all of which resulted in the deaths and repression of millions.
