I personally am an agnostic, proudly so, in the belief that we do not know and may never know the answer. arguments about this subject are pointless and I actually applaud the writer for posting her 10 personal reasons why she does not believe. the religious rebuttals were silly, in fact they probably should not have posted at all since they were only going to have their responses fall on deaf ears. I find it weak that religious people must press their reasoning on a person who has made their choice yet preach love and understanding. I firmly believe that if there is a god, he's already seen why I do not worship him and accepted that it was to be and that no earthly agent will ever change my mind. save your energy religious ones, your faith is not wanted here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667116946377253622.post-30990281094873223782011-04-30T12:33:53.846-04:002011-04-30T12:33:53.846-04:00JD, that's called "Pascal's Wager.&qu...JD, that's called "Pascal's Wager." It assumes a binary opposition of Heaven through Christ vs. Hell by denying Christ. It's a false dichotomy because it doesn't account for the many other religious predictions of the afterlife based on other judgments during life.<br /><br />Has it ever occurred to you that you could be wrong and Buddhism is right and you'll be punished for the hubris of believing you are astute enough to judge the religion of your birth as the One True one by being returned to life in the body of a cockroach?LadyAtheisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12132821431322748921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667116946377253622.post-91700762094986001502011-04-30T08:06:37.871-04:002011-04-30T08:06:37.871-04:00What you believe is totally up to you. God will no...What you believe is totally up to you. God will not force Himself upon you. But I do know this one thing. If I am right and my God is real then He is the God of Abraham, of Isac, and of Jacob, He is the Messiah Jesus and If I should drop dead right now I have nothing to fear; but you have eternity before you and you will acknowledge Him, and then you will beg for forgiveness but it will be to late. Now if you are right and I am wrong I still have Nothing To Fear. I'll play the odds. I know that my Jesus lives! I will be praying to Him that He will put things in your path that will draw you to Him. One day your brother in Christ is my prayer with love.

You just refuted your own religion. Q.E.D.<br /><br />9) That's what she was saying, Einstein. Go back and read the post.<br /><br />8) Then do the Jews reject your cult as nonsense(and always have)? If Jesus had fulfilled prophecies and the promise of a Messiah, then most if not all of the Jews would have converted by now.<br /><br />7) This cannot be objectively tested or proven(conveniently for you), and is therefore drivel.<br /><br />6) See 7).<br /><br />5) Problem is, most of us have already looked for god(and not half-heatedly, either) and found nothing save wishful thinking, mindless dogma(and dogmatists), and greedy manipulators with agendas.<br /><br />4) Moron. You can't even make an intelligent response to this point, so you opt for condescension instead.<br /><br />3) Because your god wanted it to and planned for it to happen.<br /><br />2) Idiot.

There are no further covenants. <br /><br />7) He talks to everyone through all kinds of methods.<br /> <br />Through dreams, your friends, strangers, your enemies…nature, your conscience, the books of the Bible …but perfectly and finally through Jesus Christ.<br /><br />6) Your life is the only thing you get from God on a silver platter. Everything else you'll have to work for. <br /><br />"My kingdom is a kingdom of love."<br /> Jesus 33AD<br /><br />Jesus spelled it out perfectly for everyone that He was the Way, the Truth, and the Life. He spoke plainly AND in riddles. Depending on the disposition of the hearer.<br /><br />5) God is a great communicator. Most people are poor listeners. Seek and you'll find. In any field of life there are no rewards for the half-hearted.<br /><br />4) Please tell me you're not that simple…<br /><br />3) Sin brought imperfection into the world.<br /><br />2) So the world is not as you would have it? Maybe you should rip up your union card!?<br /><br />1) Jesus was above his culture. <br />He set himself against every Jewish religious faction at the time. He denounced the establishment. He counselled his followers to not be like the pagans. He ushered in the New Covenant and when his own followers hesitated, he asked them if they wanted to leave as well? He spoke to his creation, in stories and parables. Once through the prophets, then in person. He delivered the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus was foreshadowed in the Old Testament and revealed in the New. He declared himself to be man and God. None of the other religious leaders stated anything like that.<br />He doesn't resemble anybody…Never Was An Arrow IIhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/78215847@N00/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667116946377253622.post-49738887337548195402011-02-17T22:10:56.914-05:002011-02-17T22:10:56.914-05:00I agree with the bad parenting skills part -- he d...I agree with the bad parenting skills part -- he didn't lift a finger when his son was crucified!Ahabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14675629709031865432noreply@blogger.com
