Is Jesus your personal beast of burden?

[sexysadie]

I have no problem with benign faith or belief. I think we all have a spiritual nature to appease, myself included.
I am not an atheist and call myself a Deist without a creator God.

It is the belief in fantasy and magic and miracles that I fight because I believe that that is the harmful part of religions and what causes all the type of crap that I linked you to.

In Africa they are killing little children as witches just because that work is in their Bible.

If you do not believe in those fantasy aspects or religion, we can be friends bit otherwise debates of a moral nature will become impossible because you can always say, stupidly, God did it or God does it this way or some other cop out.

literalism is fatal for your spiritual growth and please believe one that has found what most call God.
If you believe in fantasy, you will never access the Godhead. You will be denied.

This below is the way to think about whatever you read or hear about religion.

Trust me on this.

Now, the only thing I want to know from you is if you are a literalist and do you believe in fantasy, miracles or magic.
Does the God you believe in have to have these as part of what He is?

I have no idea what you're talking about in regards to Africa and witches, the bible I read mentions nothing of the sort. No offence, but you sound like one of the preachers you despise so much only from the other side of the fence. I won't allow you or anybody else to bully me into believing anything else but what I believe and like our good friend posted earlier, it'll only come between us if we make it personal. So I ask you.....is that what you're doing?

 

[sexysadie]

Instead of lambasting the whole of Christianity as people who go out their way to kill children, why don't you instead question them, since you are some so called Deist, whatever that means?

lol..I like it.

Do you think that I've never questioned Him? Well I have and I've done my exploring and as much researching as I know what to do with.....some things, you only know in your heart, and there's no other way to explain it. I'm not saying that I'm better than you, on the contrary, I'm probably a whole lot worse for knowing what I know and not being blessed with the ability to reach those who don't believe......I've tried and God forgive me, I've finally given up. I'll never deny Him and I'll never miss an opportunity to tell others that I believe....but I won't roll up my sleeves, point my finger and preach to you about God. Soooooo, worst case scenerio, what does that make me......a sinner, and aren't we all?

I believe in the God in all of us. Even your Bible tells you that your body is the temple of God.
Jesus even said-----Have ye forgotten that ye are Gods.

Lets have our first debate.

My God is a man because I can think in no other way regardless of how I can empathies with women and for the record, I do not believe in what I said earlier about what the Bible said about sitting down and shutting up. It does say it but I think it crap.
Ask my wife. I am not sexist in any way nor do I care a whit if you are Gay. male or female.

Now for our debate question.

Why is your God a He. You cannot think like a man so why is your God not a Goddess?

Biblically speaking, unless you believe in a creator God, the bible says that Eve ate first and became as Gods, knowing good and evil before Adam did and that would mean that Eve was our first Go on earth.

i take it personally that your suggesting that people take silly things like this personally and im offended at the notion of people becoming offended becuase they take things personally and become offended
(im still riding the teacups )

I am on a mission and take this quite seriously.
you have seen the links to the killing of African children and the Jesus camps and my motto is.

For evil to grow, all good people need do is nothing.

I speak with soft and medium believers and atheists to prompt them to get active in ending the literal reading of myths to stop such carnage.

I think it's disgusting how the Catholics spread AIDS in Africa, what can I do other than donate money which their corrupt governments will plunder?

I am totally befuddled about what the OP is on about, whether he is a Christian or an Atheist or probably Richard Dawkins who has too much time on his hands :dunno:

I am not an atheist and call myself a Deist without a creator God.
It is the belief in fantasy and magic and miracles that I fight because I believe that that is the harmful part of religions and what causes all the type of crap that I linked to below.
In Africa they are killing little children as witches just because that word is in their Bible.

It is my view that all literalists and fundamentals hurt all of us who are Religionists.
They all hurt their parent religions and everyone else who has a belief. They make us all into laughing stocks and should rethink their position. There is a God but not the God of talking animals, genocidal floods and retribution. Belief in fantasy is evil.

They also do much harm to their own.

Maybe a bit confused here, we have an atheist in the UK, who seems to be ramming down everyone's throat, that there is no God :24: One of my fb contacts is really annoyed about his attitude, saying that if that is the case, then why not let people decide rather than him preaching his point

Because he recognizes that religion has slowed mans intellectual progress. So do I.

Google Galileo if you want more.

I like him but do not take disbelief as far as he does only because I recognize the value in social terms of churches. I just hate the way they teach the fantasy part of God.

I have been fighting them for some time now.

Sorry I have to respond to this as cannot wait for the lady to shoot out or I forget the whole thing!!

“Hey, I believe in miracles....I am undergoing a miracle?? Magic is a petty thing!!”
Don’t be an idiot.

“BTW who sets the rule in a debate?? Not you of course...nor even me
Yes I do in this case. I am here to teach, not learn.

“I don't think anybody died due to so-called literalism!”

Then you are poorly educated about religious history.

I wish one of the few rational Christians, like AU Fred would join in the debate. Most Christians who come in these threads have a preposterous and completely irrational point of view

That is because most posters are literalists and that stupidity and irrationality is a product of literal reading of scripture.

In order to teach sweetheart, you must first have people around you willing to learn......know what I mean?
