I believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.

[JoeChalupa]

Oh, and sure you are not bigzak.

[Clipper Nation]

Not condescending at all. I aways pray for the well being of everyone. Doesn't matter to me what one does or doesn't believe in. I don't push my faith on anyone nor question theirs.

My bad.... I've been told by Christians who find out that I'm an atheist that "they'll pray for me" in an extremely condescending tone plenty of times as a condemnation, so that's what I tend to associate with that phrase, tbh....

[mouse]

I too believe in science, logic and reason.

And I believe in Beef, chicken, and pork...

It's interesting that you feel that way about religious people in general, especially about them having an agenda of bringing about Armageddon as quick as possible. That seems rather negative and self defeating if you ask me. You must know some religious fanatics or at the very least some over zealous doomsayers.
I feel I am spiritual rather than religious. I use every tool at my disposal to get to the truth from philosophy to physics, intuition to reason.
And I am still traveling that path.

And you believe a man rose from the dead so his daddy wouldn't send you to eternal torture for being how he created you to be.

That makes sense.

I never said I believed in eternal torture.
You sure like putting words in other people's mouths instead of reading their posts, don't you?
I also said you are welcome to believe whatever you want.
I never told you to believe as I believe.
My beliefs came about as I previously described.
Thus there is no way you can dispute them since you did not live in my shoes.
You cannot argue over opinions anyway because it is a fruitless venture.
If you want to get into pissing contests then go pester someone else because you have obviously mistaken me for someone who gives a !

[Blake]

not if God created . Sounds logical to me and that is what matters. As I've stated before it does not matter what others believe.

Why do you believe God created a place of eternal torment?

[Blake]

Oh, and sure you are not bigzak.

U mad because I outed your satan/Jesus trolls?

[JoeChalupa]

Hooters this Saturday.

Now this is hard to believe in. My faith still strong. Noah's ark rocked! Call me re ed, I don't care.

It doesn't matter how you choose to distort the words of the religion you're advertising here. There's no custom God, and the Bible doesn't offer one either.

[JoeChalupa]

Sigh......

[AFBlue]

Joe didn't say he was praying for your salvation; just said he was praying for you. It could be he was praying for your health and well being.

Just because some of you don't believe in the power of prayer doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Bottom line: it's not condescension, it's compassion.

God bless you Joe!

[Buddy Mignon]

Good for you, no need to condescendingly "pray for" people who prefer to believe in science, logic, and reason, though....

Lol... the thought of logic entering your mind... lol. You're a Clipper fan.. lol.

[JoeChalupa]

I've seen the power of prayer. Of course non believers will call it simply a coincidence. "You can't prove it was prayer that made that happen!", they always say.

[JoeChalupa]

if that's what u believe.

Assuming that all this religious bull is true... you'd still be on the losing end with your pray and wait rituals. Why not just steal what you want then go to the gay/pedophile old guy in the booth and ask for forgiveness.

You want me to switch screen names just to prove you wrong?


Dude if your Brain was on eBay for six months you would still only have one bid ...
and it would be from me.... I sometimes collect shrunken heads.

Which Blake are you talking too?

I do not advertise any religion here, and I am not distorting any words. They are what they are, no less and no more. If you choose to make more or less of them, then that is your prerogative and consequently your problem, not mine.

Custom God? That is your definition too, not mine. IMHO there is only one God. But again I don't dictate what you are supposed to believe. I believe what I believe and have already gone over the whys and wherefors of that previously.

The bible is what it is, and differs from believer to believer, from interpreter to interpreter, and from detractor to detractor, as one sees fit. And there are many versions of it these days, thus I refrain from judging. It remains to each person to take from it what they know to be true from their own subjective experiences.

I'm sure you and Joe tag team passwords.

either way, they're lame.

Have you ever prayed for someone's missing limb to grow back?

Probably not because we both know it's impossible, even for God.

Have you ever prayed to be able to fly, or talk to someone in another country, or to stay under water for hours, or to cook a roast in minutes?
Probably not, because you can do it ......... These days.
However a thousand years ago .................... these would have been considered miracles.
Everything is relative to the times they exist in.

Very non-committal, soft and spongy response. Everything is nothing and the universe impeaches itself at your whim, or not, depending on your personal take and that's ok because we all have that right to be individuals in the cosmos.

You're just a bull ter. Nothing you say makes any sense and you're well aware of that. It's just another troll tactic, not a very good one either.

sure, but that's not the point.

And actually what you're saying is what makes the idea of a loving/caring God look more and more ridiculous.
