  • How can i save "real" atheists?

    So I'm always thinking about how to persuade supposed atheists to become Christians. Then I just thought, "Imagine how they feel about their beliefs." Well, that got me to thinking, what DO supposed atheists believe? What is it like to be in the head of a supposed atheist? Is there any logical thought at all or is it pure animal instinct? Does one consider things like pleasure and pain or is an atheist simply driven to eat, sleep, and have sex with anything they want? I'm sincerely curious and wonder how can I help them overcome these base animal instincts to be saved from an eternity of torment that is due simply for the crime of having been born human and therefor depraved.

    I look forward to your replies.

  • How to tell real atheists from false ones?

    So I'm having some difficulty identifying legitimate Atheists and their organizations because it is so hard to tell fake Atheism from the real thing. As a Christians, we know in actuality, there is really no such thing as "Atheism." So in fact, "real Atheists" can also be indistinguishable from "fake Atheists" because there are people and organizations who claim to be Atheist, while we know that is quite impossible, since there is no such thing as a real Atheist. All sane and rational people believe in God, whether they deny it or not. The Bible says that people who say there is "no God" are "'ivveleth (ihv-vel-LETH)" which translates to "mentally insane" (Psalm 14:1) Thus, people who claim to be Atheists are suffering from a mental delusion that can be cured in many cases by steadfast prayer, and/or mild electro-shock therapy coupled with approved medications prescribed by an authorized Christian Psychiatrist or experienced Pastor.

    So the dilemma is: Are the web-sites and blogs that claim to be Atheist, really web-sites created by Christians who are parodying Atheists or by people and organizations who are so deluded to think they are Atheist, but in fact not, and thus lending to the extended parody of Atheism and mental delusion?

    How can a True Christian tell the difference?

  • Should Christians start an atheist registry?

    I suggest that an organization and website be created that would keep track of known atheists. The website would list by city and state all atheists with their photos and some personal information such as place of business. Should it include a physical address too?

    These atheists are no different than ... any other morally degenerate groups. The purpose of this organization/website would be to inform the public of known atheists so that they can be proselytized to and their businesses can be boycotted.

    Would this be legal?

    Anyone have a catchy name or any other thoughts or ideas for the site?

  • Are Atheists The Cause of ALL Wars ?

    We hear everyday how these crazy atheists say "religion is the cause of most wars". Well in reality this couldn’t be further from the truth! In fact I’m pretty sure that most (if not all) wars were caused by atheists, or the result of atheism.

    Take the Inquisition as an example. 9 MILLION witches, pagans, atheists and non-believers senselessly slaughtered. Why? They died because they turned their backs on Jesus, and started worshipping a bunch of nonsense. I hate it when you hear those deluded atheists claiming it was Christianity what killed all those God-haters? NO, friends, it was ATHEISM what killed them! If they just got with the script, stopped worshipping false Gods (or themselves), and got right with Jesus, NONE of them would have been stabbed, drowned, burned or dismembered! It is THEIR OWN STUPID FAULT they died, not ours. We gave then EVERY CHANCE to convert to the one TRUE religion. Is it our fault they died? Heck no.

    With this in mind, let’s look at a few of the great Dictators, mass murderers and lunatics of the past few 100 years –

    1. Joseph Stalin – ATHEIST!

    2. Pol Pot – ATHEIST!

    3. Mao Zedong – ATHEIST!

    4. Benito Mussolini – ATHEIST!

    5. Jim Jones – ATHEIST!

    6. Jeffrey Dahmer – ATHEIST!

    7. Napoleon Bonaparte – ATHEIST!

    Friends, from the list above, you can see that not only is atheism the cause of most wars, but most Cult Leaders and an estimated 80% of ALL Serial Killers and atheist too. Just remember that next time some deluded atheist tries to tell you how ‘peaceful’ their religion is!

    Am i right here or what?

  • Has the King James Bible saved you like it saved me?

    So last weekend, as usual, I went out looking for drunken fornicating sinners to rebuke. Anyway, at about 2:30-3 a.m., this drunken lez who was wearing what was clearly a man's shirt, in open defiance of Deuteronomy 22:5, told me there was a party going on at hers, and I thought it sounded like a good opportunity to spread the word to some degenerates. Sure enough, it was a complete nest of vice, as proven by the fact that one room contained a bunch of people doing coke off a mirror, although no one offered me any. I sat down on a sofa and soon enough a skinny black-clad homosexual with a trendy haircut and hipster glasses gave me a glass of absinthe and started trying to persuade me to fornicate with him. Obviously, as anyone would do, I told him that I absolutely couldn't because the Bible forbids me to do gay stuff, to which he responded that Christianity was just a bunch of made-up fairytales that didn't make sense. I challenged this atheist pervert to give me an example of how the Bible didn't make any sense, and he asked me how God and Jesus could be the same person, despite being different people. Naturally, I whipped out my Bible and pointed to 1 John 5:7 (For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.) At this point, he accepted that I was right and Christianity was correct, and therefore we agreed that it would be morally wrong for him to sodomise me. Another soul saved for Christ.

    Has this ever happened to anyone else? Was I lucky or what!

  • Why are so many believer's answers sooo long winded?

    And isn't it too bad that the only way to minimize them on my little screen is to give them a thumbs down?

    It's just an endless series of bible quotes.

  • Are we being poisoned by commies?

    Does anyone feel tired all the time. If you do, I think it may be from fluoridated water. I don't know what the point is but I know its a poison! I think its a communist conspiracy. I mean they started putting it in our water in Nineteen hundred and forty-six. 1946! How does that coincide with post-war Commie conspiracy, huh? It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works. Do you realize that in addition to fluoridating water, why, there are studies underway to fluoridate salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, milk... ice cream. Ice cream. Children's ice cream. I first became aware of it during the physical act of love. Yes, a uh, a profound sense of fatigue... a feeling of emptiness followed. Luckily I... I was able to interpret these feelings correctly. Loss of essence. I can assure you it has not recurred, Women sense my power and they seek the life essence. I do not avoid women. But I... I do deny them my essence. So, am I just crazy or am I on to something here?

  • Why do people in R&S seem so pidantic?

    So many seem to focus not on the questions at hand but, rather on the questioners grammer or spelling or punctuation.

  • What do these passages mean exactly?

    Genesis 2:19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.

    2:20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.

    2:21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

    2:22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

    Do they mean that had Adam actually found male jack rabbits to be suitable meets that God would not have needed to create women? One might suppose that dinosaurs were also trotted out past Adam to be selected from as well but, I'll not digress.

    Do women exist because, all of the wonderful beasts God created for Adam were rejected by him and god had to give it one more shot?

    Would god have considered ANY choice (prior to making women) appropriate and acceptable?

  • I am reading a book and was wondering ...?

    Am I the only one who thinks that Sade seems to have had a relatively negative attitude toward women. None of the women in "120 Days" seem to be respected by any of the main protagonists. Nor do the men for that matter. Was this a common attitude in 18th century France. Has it persisted in any way?

  • Was this sexism or not?

    So I walk into this room the other day at the gym and there's like nothing but women in there and their all like GET OUT get out and stuff. You can't be in here because your a MAN! Then they said I things like your a perv and and were gonna call security! Now I just wanted to do what I had to do and leave right but no they just kept right on yelling about me being a MAN.

    Anyway I figured they were just being sexist so I decided I'd better go. I didn't want to get in an altercation with a bunch what I figured were a bunch of feminists.

    Were they being sexist?

    There were no showers free anyway so I used the men's room instead but whatever.

  • stupid question about the speed of light?

    If you would allow me to propose a little thought experiment ...

    As I understand it, the universe is expanding and as such, other suns, galaxies, etc are moving away from us in all directions. Some of them are almost about to pass what is the edge of the visible universe. IE the space between is expanding at such a rate that eventually the space between us will grow so fast that light will not travel fast enough to ever reach us.

    Now suppose we imagine some inelastic tether fastened to one of these distant objects *just about to pass the visible edge on one end and on the other, here on earth, it is fastened to ... anything. Say a baseball. How fast would the baseball be moving as the distant object to which it is tethered passes beyond the edge of the visible universe?

    Sorry if its not a very well formed question. I'm banging out on my phone here.

  • Self harming - what the deal here?

    What's the deal with this? Is this just another stupid fad? Like wearing your pants down or something? I mean I get it if you want some piercings or a few tasteful and somewhat discreetly placed tats but they can at least be fashionable in some way but to cut yourself just because your sad/mad/whatever ... well it seems pointless. Then to come on YA and try to get people to make you feel better or excuse you for having done so just seems pathetic to me.

    Is this just a middle class young teen thing? Are they just bored? Are they just copying each other to be cool? Does it span all the races?

    Somebody hep me! I don't mean to sound insensitive I just don't get it.
