To answer your question, I am with Non Sequitur.
It is not up to me to say who is or who isn’t a Christian.

I haven't read any of the "Christians have a good product to sell" thread. I just assumed that it was the same old song and dance, so I stayed out of it.

Its not even when his creations don't work, we all don't work, we are all sinful (Christians and non-Christians alike). Rejecting God is what the hell worthy offense is, not being sinful. Having faith is the only thing that achieves salvation. And Yes he is loving beyond anyones comprehension. He gave his son so that the rest of us might be saved. Paul says "we might give our lives for a righteous man, but how many of you would give you life for an unrighteous man?" God owes us nothing because he created us and we owe God everything.
So god wanted to create playthings because he was bored one day and when the playthings wouldn't work right he would suffer them. What the hell? He sounds like a spoiled brat to me - and quite egotistical. Maybe about 2 years old. If he gave US his son and his son was a sacrafice to us, then he's a shitty parent. Everyone knows that they would sacrafice THEMSELVES so their children or child could LIVE ON. So, god is the ultimate sinner of all in this case. And if he loves us unconditionally, he wouldn't let us suffer and he wouldn't be giving up his child for sacrafice and he wouldn't care if his creations loved or worshipped him or not. He should be forgiving (without confession), non-judgemental and accepting of all creations if he LOVES us.

In conclusion, he has all the characteristics that describes a HUMAN. Therefore, man created god. Mystery solved.

WE owe god? What do WE owe him that he has already given us first? As far as I am concerned, not all people view life as a blessing.

Oh that's cute sammy.

Now you're saying "I'm not mad, YOU'RE mad."

Then you try to piss us off by suggesting that we're just "silly and harmless fools."

Sammy it's not going to work. You're as transparent as they come.

Now, keep on spewing hatred for Christians and Christianity while blathering about how HATEFUL they are. And of course how hateful I and some others are.

Spew venom and point fingers at someone else and accuse them of the spewing.

Yeah, you're very very very very .... smart sammy

Of I go to be a-twitter.

Gosh thats funny

Re: A Question For Christians...

Why is it that someone can’t be critical of the conduct of a christian without christians crying about that criticism being an “attack” on christianity?

The two are very different…

They're reacting TO the bitter and mean they see pouring out of YOU.

Deny it forever, I know you will, but I've seen nothing but nastiness and hatred for Christians come from you.

Yes, you try to cleverly cover it with language and what you think is smart humor, but it's very transparent to many of us.

You're getting back what you're dishing out.

Please show me where I spewed venom and hatred Thane. You can't find any, so how about you stop posting rubbish and smears about me?

I've asked that question looooong before I ever got involved in this thread.

You couldn't answer it then, and you can't answer it now.

Why?

Did you bother to read post # 13 ?

No, of course you didn't.

But right in sammies footsteps you're going to try to bait me by explaining how I am retarded.

Keep on trying buddy.

Actually, Thane does not consider himself a Christian. Ask him. He'll say he's agnostic but he just doesn't like to see people riding on Christians unfairly.


I, on the other hand, AM a Christian, and you don't see me flipping a shit.

Thanks Donkey :-)

Words I never thought I'd say LOL

I DO get tired of seeing Christians blamed for every problem on Earth.

I'll tell you, Christian individuals have pissed ME off PLENTY, but for the most part they're the most decent people on the planet.

People of ALL stripes CAN be nice OR shitheads. That is shown clearly at this forum.

This reminds me when an ex-girlfriend of mine bitched me out for accidentally leading on another girl, one of her friends. I didn't mind that she was upset, but I did mind that the other girl hadn't come to her with the issue, and that she (the ex) had decided to take things into her own hands and yell at me regardless.

While appreciate your concern for us poor beaten down Christians, until further notice, I think we can take it from here.

In fact, maybe the only thing Steve and I agree on would be religion.

Alright

THAT I can respect

Now, I MUST mention the difference between how YOU handled me and how sammy and her "evil" twin new friend did.

You made Christians look good. Better than ..

Well, well done.

I'll let you handle it now
