I propose a day of prayer for Our elected officials!

[familydog]

Why not? Dont you care if your beliefs are true or not?

Meh. I find it funny. The religious are often the ones pegged as the bad guy prosyltizers, pushing their beliefs on everybody else. Yet that is not the case on this forum (generally speaking). If one does not want to explain their religious/spiritual beliefs then that ought to be respected. Again, spirituality is deeply personal. It ain't politics or law that affects everyone--in which case one's position should have to be explained. It is something that truely only can effect the individual.

Frankly, I'm not sure why a poster suggesting a collective prayer to fellow believers should warrant trollish behavior. The OP didn't ask for others opinions on whether God exists or not.

If you get your jollies off on believers refusing to explain their spiritual beliefs to a random person on the internet, good for you. That doesn't change the fact that trollish proselytizing is trollish proselytizing.

I am a free man. I don't have any "elected officials", except maybe on boards of corporations.

Because its an absurd proposition that should be ridiculed. Mythology and superstition should be discouraged.

Its a personal choice to smoke crack. Doesnt mean Im not going to try to convince people that its a bad idea.

See what good saying "you don't believe" on Judgement Day helps you.

Just as the Romans could only be certain of Apollo?

Mythology is silly. Christian Mythology included.

We are His children being led by other children trying to fashion the world into what they think it should be.Not God.
And I agree that mythology is silly.Who exactly Jesus is and what the gospel is? That's not silly.That's your future.

How do you know Apollo is not real?

You continually prove how non-neutral "atheists" are when it comes to religion. Are you trying to force your beliefs that "Christianity is mythology" on other people? You're such a hypocrite, Mitt, and you seriously need to grow up and stop whining about a Person in which you don't believe exists.

When did I ever claim to be neutral?

And why are you under the impression that my complaints are complaints about God? My complaints are about the ignorant and gullible sheeple such as yourself.

Time will prove whom the gullible 1 is.

Time will prove whom the gullible 1 is.

Absolutely. Just as time proved the Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Norse, Aztecs, Babylonians, Sumerians, Germanics, Anglo-Saxons, and all other believers in ancient dead religions were ALL wrong. In a few thousand years, Jesus will be tossed in the pile with Zeus, Thor, Ra, VHS videos, and Hillary Clinton campaign posters. No doubt.

Your constant attacks over the months against any sort of faith only shows that you're unsure of your own doubt.

"Me thinks thou dost protest too much"

~~~~~~~~~~

Most/All of those earlier belief systems you mentioned were based on the worship on demonic entities - otherwise known as "fallen angels".

The same entities are still worshiped today in certain Satanic circles where they summon the spirits and communicate with them
and worship them, including the biggest loser of all Creation, Satan.

Those religions are still as alive and well today as they were in times past, they just go under different names, one being Satanism.

~~~~~~~~~~

BTW, have you ever considered just not raining on other people's parade?

Someone makes a thread about prayer and you have to take it over. Mr know-it-all strikes again.

People just ignore this troll and he'll be stuck with talking to himself.

~~~~~~~~~~

Can we get back to the subject of the thread?

What's a good date? -- I'll post it on http://PaulPrayer.com

The people who believe in the religion of Atheism have always been allowed to roam free on these boards attacking other belief systems.

It's simply systematic of society at large, and the trends of this Age. Atheists have sneaked and forced their religion into Schools,
Governments, Entertainment et al, all under the guise that what they teach is not "religion", when it clearly is.

Welcome to The Last Days.

Also, many so-called "Atheists" are in reality worshipers of Satan, and use the mantle of the religion of Atheism to hide their true intentions.

This branch of Satanism has run-a-muck because many of those in power who force it upon this world are in secret literal servants of Satan.
That's how they've gotten their positions of wealth, power and influence, they've been rewarded for their service by the god of this world.

And don't feed the Trolls, why give Satan and his demons the satisfaction? Incorporate a little spiritual discernment in your thought processes.

Hey Mark, haven't seen ya in a while.

I see you're still mischaracterizing atheism.

Atheism is not a religion and your Satan-fearmongering is quite ridiculous.

e. It also makes no sense that an Atheist would worship Satan because isn't Satan a celestial supernatural being? If a person worships/believes in Satan then he can't be an Atheist. Period.

Hey Mark, haven't seen ya in a while.

Howdy Yonrel... been here, there.. available time is constant, so of course increases in some activities necessitates reductions in others.

Just trying to set the record straight about belief systems. If one can't prove there's not a God, or Spiritual dimension, to life, then they have to "believe" it.

Atheism is a belief system because people have to believe it.

And if someone who believes in the existence if God is characterized as following a religion, then it's only fair to call it religion if someone believes there isn't a God.

It's all about belief. Si?

And it's not right to let one belief system claim it's not one in order to force that belief system onto others in the establishments of Government/Society ect.

e.g. If someone wants to practice their belief system in school and not pray because they don't believe God exists,
then those who do believe in God should have the same right to practice their belief system and pray.

It's wrong to force someone to pray, and it's wrong to force someone not to pray.

Government should not sanction one belief system over another.

My point has always been, don't call it "religion", and use that classification to deny something, if you don't classify other belief systems as "religion" as well.

Belief that's there's no other dimension to existence other than the physical we experience on Earth,
should not trump the belief that there is a dimension other than the physical.

And neither should one be called "religion", and discriminated against on that basis, while the other is not. Both should be treated equally.

Isn't that fair all around?

 

[yongrel]

Atheism is not a belief; it is an absence of belief. As someone much smarter than me once said, calling atheism a religion is like calling bald a hair color.

I said some Satanists pretend to be Atheists, as well as pretending to be Christians, Muslims ect ect.

It's to hide their true thoughts in order to manipulate events.

I wasn't fear mongering. I didn't say I was afraid of him, or anyone should be afraid of him,
in fact just the opposite, I mocked him by calling him the biggest loser of all Creation.

Which is true btw.

So it's not just mocking or making fun of Satan when I do it, it's also pointing out a fact.

Satan and I are quite familiar with each other. My "pet" name for him is Loserfer.. (a play on his name "Lucifer")

That's "Agnostic".. one isn't sure one way or the other. One who has a lack of belief one way or the other.

An "Atheist", on the other hand, is concrete in their belief that God doesn't exist. They do not "believe" God exists.

In other words, an Agnostic is someone who doesn't - not believe - in God, while at the same time doesn't - believe - in God.

They've drawn no conclusions one way or the other, they have an absence of belief.

While an Atheist is someone who has decided to believe that God does not exist. They have drawn a conclusion. They have a belief.

And it's indeed a belief because they can't prove it, they can only believe it.
