It appears as though I have made enemies in the IMGFlip site

I'm a Christian and I just downvote the ridiculously obtuse and mean anti God memes. Some of the more mild ones are sometimes funny. I can take a joke, but a few get way out of line.

I have no problem with anybody yours. Like I said, I can take a joke. The ones that are just out to offend... That's another story.

Thanks. A little goes a long way.

this here is an example of some thing that not that offensive to religoius people (for me at least)

A lot of anti-theists get REALLY defensive if you reprimand them for insulting God.

The FILTH that spews from some people on this site is abominable, IMO

Wrong. The only thing I regret is that I don't have the stones to leave this site permanently. And that's only because I like too many people here.

In the Holy Bible that you don't believe in, we are commanded not to use God's Name as a swear. In other words, don't use It in vain, which is basically what using It as a swear is doing because you're using It for something It surely wasn't meant for! The low life who submitted that meme not only did so anyway, he actually depicted what appears to be my beloved Lord and Savior doing so!

My problem isn't so much that He doesn't believe in God, but rather that he doesn't GIVE A DAMM that others believe in and adore Him! People are so heartless and vindictive!

The sad fact may be that I don't belong perusing a site such as this where virtually anything goes! SMH

Thanks Beckett, I was on the fence about it, but your spirited caps-lock-accentuated expose really changed my mind and got me on your side about it.

Neither really, just supporting you, conflicting with this: "But an angry, caps-lock-saturated rant isn't going to change anyone's mind." and having a good time. I'm agnostic, but a avid supporter of religious rights.

"your spirited caps-lock-accentuated expose really changed my mind"

Um, yeah. That's pretty much sarcasm.

Anyway, for the record, I didn't use all caps in order to change anyone's mind. I did it because I was LIVID!! Sincerely enraged and very hurt!

I once had a quite vivid dream where my beloved Lord and Savior, a 20 foot-tall Jesus the Christ, was standing behind me. And He was telling a couple of hoodlum punks that anyone who messes with me messes with Him. The punks fled in horror!

That's the kind of relationship i have with Him. I understand many people, Christians included, don't have that with Him, but i do. So the meme that ignorant shmuck posted just jumped out at me like a hungry bear!

Believe it or not, I have been a follower of the Baha'i Faith for a few years now. But they also believe in the Divinity of the One known as Jesus, else I wouldn't even acknowledge their existence. I'm only telling you this because you mentioned being a supporter of Religious rights. Well, the Baha'i Faith adheres to that rule, as well. All of the major Religions are Sent from the same Source

Thanks for replying. *Hugs

Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me".

John614:6 NKJV u r not a Christian.

14:6

No, "your spirited caps-lock-accentuated expose really changed my mind" wasn't meant as sarcastic, but rather as a positive spin on Octavia_Melody's "But an angry, caps-lock-saturated rant isn't going to change anyone's mind."
Like I said, IDGAF, I was just trying to be contrary to OM and supportive to you.
Thanks for overcomplicating it. :)

I saw one on fb once that was captioned "jesus fing Christ" and it was a drawn photo of jesus doing himself. I ripped the little juggalo punk who made it so hard he blocked me. Such disrespect

Boy, when people don't believe in the Lord, they REALLY don't believe!! Wow!

Made me so mad

Thanks

Romans 1:28 since they thought it foolish to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their foolish thinking and let them do things that should never be done.
Not all will come to know Him. Not all will have their names written in the book of life. Some know God's word, and deliberately disobey. Anytime I'm frustrated with someone's disrespect to God, I know that He has endured much worse, and continues to reach out despite our transgressions.

Deus vult!

Deus vult!

And what's wrong with a divine sense of humor? Platypuses rule.

I've been using an expanded line like that for decades: God has a sense of humor. After all, he made the Duck Billed Platypus, The Giraffe, The Hippopotamus, and the Republican party. I have yet to have a member of the Republican party dispute that.

Aside from people "teddy bearing" an extremely territorial and deadly animal that is...

Before making fun of Christianity, critically think about the beliefs that you blindly follow. Besides, there are so many bible stories that can be proven true by recent discoveries, and things that the bible says were scientifically proven thousands of years later. However, evolution counters actual science and other religions have been proven false.

Question number two

You must understand the bible is translated from a large multitude of languages, so some words may be slightly different when translated from Hebrew, but good point.

Also, the bible is not litteral about a lot of things. Jesus does not believe the stars will "actually" fall from the sky. I don't know the biblical reference you are using, but stars falling from the sky usually represents the end of days. Is that what Jesus is referring to?

Life is indeed a brain activity, however, what sustains the brain is blood.

Also, the "circle of earth" is not litteral. The point of this passage is to explain the greatness of God compared to the foolishness of man.

I'm funny

This kind of answers question 1. It's not exactly what I'm looking for, but many archeological discoveries have proved many of the old testimony stories to be true... Which makes sense because the Old Testament is mostly history.

Also, (I would need t get this verified) but I've heard that they found Chinese records of a meteorite heading towards the direction of Bethlahem just days before (or the same day) that Jesus was born.

There's the link. I don't want to get into an arguement, but a friendly debate, and I really appreciate the way you responded to my comment :)

It was polite and asked reasonable questions and asked for proof. Good job :) you're better at debating than almost all of the people on Imgflip.

So I'll go a couple items on that list, but the first thing that popped out at me was this, "This list is subjective, and based on news reports rather than peer-reviewed articles in scientific publications". Basically, the article is warning you to take all it's claims with a grain of salt. On to the list!

10. Asherah was a Semetic deity worship by several of the ancient peoples of the Levant, including the Akkadians, and was considered a wife or consort of the Hebrew god YHWH before they became monaltrists. The book of Jeremiah, written c. 630BCE may have referred to Asherah in Jeremiah 7:16-18 and Jeremiah 44:17-19, 25. Just because a popular regional "real" (at least to her worshippers) deity was mentioned in the Bible does not automatically "prove" the Bible. It's a fallacy equivalent to saying that a certain issue of a comic book shows Captain America fighting Adolf Hitler; Hitler was a real person ergo we have proven Captain America is/was a real person.

8. Herod was a real historical person, attested to both by contemporary records and contemporary historians. For an explanation of why this does not prove the Bible, see #10.

7. The Bible is set in or mentions several real historical places including Jerusalem, Jericho, Egypt, and Gath. The fallacy of saying that being set in a real place "proves" a work as true is so common it has a special name, the Spiderman Fallacy. The Spiderman Fallacy works like this: the Spiderman comics are set in New York City, which is a real place; therefore Spiderman is real.

Now, mind you these are just the ones that jump out at me and I'm writing purely from memory. Two of the items, numbers 9 & 4, deal with things outside the scope of the Bible, so I don't understand why they would be on the list of archeological finds "proving" the Bible at all. #9 describes a Jewish site from the Byzantine era, well after the start of the Jesus cult; #4 describes a Caananite (not Hebrew) item.

Hey Octavia, I responded to your comment from another meme. Sorry it took so long to get back to you.

Science says matter cannot be created or destroyed, and Evolution has the concept of either a dot of matter created from something, or the dot was always there. Even if there were a dot that was created by something or was always manically there, the amount of force that it would take to create the universe from a dot would be impossible, lest there were a divine being.

science has to be testable and provable. We cannot test or prove the idea that animals manically transform into other animals. We have never found a "missing link"

Also, evolution says that life came from billions of years of evolution happening on a rock? Where do I even start XD?

Please just tell me if you believe the universe came into existence out of absolutely nothing for no reason whatsoever. Because that would be rather a miracle except *nothing* includes no God. So you'd have to believe in almighty...what? Chance? So you call your God Chance? Chance would have to in some way exist outside of space and time. Or wd Chance create him/her/itself? Are you prepared to jetison any shred of rationality for the sake of...what? I get the impressiononost who hold to naturalism don't say the universe is eternal. But I'm not assuming you do. I think they fear admitting eternality because it just feels too much like a God thing. So let us know which way you go on that if you don't mind. :D

Can you tell if something is outrageously unreasonable/irrational? Is it the least bit r/r to believe everything came from the void of absolute nothing? And for no reason at all? If you refuse to squarely face such basic relevant questions what does that say about the ground upon you stand?

Is it any more or less irrational to say a really old dude in the sky created everything as it is now exactly perfectly in 6 days about 5,000 years ago, except for some trees that are over 6,000 years old (and at least one that's around 80,000 years old)? Is it rational to believe that an all-knowing god would tell his chosen followers all about how to live but leave out simple, important information like how to make antibacterial ointment or a smallpox vaccine? Is it rational to believe that an all-loving, all-powerful god would allow evil to exist?

Didn't know it was duck season. :D If you won't do arithmetic why are going to agebra? Everything from nothing for no reason. Begin at the beginning. Fleeing to irrationality and silly strawmen won't help. Ya the problem of evil as it is called is a major gut shot even for me as one who's been a Christian for decades. But if you start with hurt and act like Almighty God is accountable to you or me or humanity how does that make any sense? Again I know life gets really painful. If you knew half the stuff I've been through mostly since I became a Christian. You see the word cancer on my imgflip page? I'm not skipping down any primrose path. Any if I were God I'd do x instead of y is like a 2 yr old taliking about being president. Only the gap is infinitely bigger. So WHO. The. Hell. Are. You little finite creature?
