being chill and smarter than most

My personal favorite book of the Bible is James. It points out what I’m doing wrong and makes me sad

Concviction is good tho, then you can learn from it and become better

That’s why I like it so much

That's good

Your mortal words cannot bind me. They cannot control me. They cannot harm me. Ink on paper will be meaningless in the end. I control me. I pull my own strings. I am no one's puppet, "god" or not.

That's like saying a history book isn't true because it's ink on paper.

Can you prove to me that WW2 happened?

A history book can be false though, or bits and pieces can be untrue

Did WW2 happen?

sure but that doesn’t mean all parts of a history book are true. who discovered the USA?

Lief Ericson.

I think there's enough evidence back then and today to prove it

Sure, but most history books I’ve seen have said Columbus discovered it.

Yeah, Columbus did discover it

Most books I've seen say that, but also mention the Lief Ericson technically found it first but never named it or explored it

columbus never even set foot in the US

he went to Jamaica, the Bahamas, Cuba, Panama, but never the US

Okay

What was the reason for the American Civil War?

wrong!

the Civil War was actually about economics.

Wym

look it up

I did

What kind of economics ae you talking about

i dont know just economy

Dang

it did not have to do with slavery btw

i knew that

gaynobii apparently didn’t

Yes because we have credible proof of its existence and people who lived through it.

Just like we have proof that Jesus came down to earth and that God created everything

The only “proof” we have is a 2000 year old book, which makes statements that can be proven false with science

It's amazing how a book that's 2000 years old is still the best selling big today isn't it? I think that definitely God having his hand in it

Give me an actual argument other than we have sold a lot of books

Look around at the world and all the beautiful nature, and try and convince yourself that something didn't design it

Maybe something did maybe something didn’t, mankind cannot know that yet.

That argument also supports every other religion

We know it can be proven true in the Bible

Which is a biased source finished being written 2000 years ago that was written over the course of a few thousand years

Not really because they all have they're own false beliefs on how that happened

And what makes them false?

It doesn't mean it isn't right just because it's old

And what makes it right?

They have been proven wrong in the Bible

You’re only proof they are wrong is a SINGLE oldass religious text. Thats it you have no other proof

Was Jesus a real person most likely yes, was he the son of a god? I highly doubt it

I kinda laugh when people try to say Jesus existed but wasn't the son of God, like bro you didn't have some secret smart opinion

Ok and?

Because it's ridiculous

How?

Because the Bible is the only book that talks about him and you choose to only believe some of the things it says but not the other parts

That works mean the Bible isn't true, and we know that it is true

Other books speak of Jesus, we have other written historical accounts. Also other religions such as Islam acknowledge his existence

Yeah and other books tell us that he is the son of God

All of which are Christian

f**k's sake okay then

1. i was trying to have fun being cryptic
2. a book about events 86 years ago holds a lot more validity to me than one about events 2000+ years ago

people that were affected by ww2 still walk the earth today, can you say the same about your god's acts?
and before you say im an atheist, im not. to put it simply; sometimes i think there is a god other times i think it's stupid.

People who are affected by Christianity, like me walk the earth.

And yes you are not an atheist, that's right. So it's only wise if you accept that God is real and worship him

I refuse to accept a god who's followers caused me such intense pain i feel it nearly 10 years later.
I would rather die standing than live kneeling underneath the sword of a false King.

Do you remember "love thy neighbor?" or was that simply for those rich, able-bodied, cisgender, heterosexual and white?

I don't know what you've been though, but many people give up because of the trials they experience. We don't need to put our faith in people, it needs to be put in God and God alone

What part of your god's followers caused this pain dont you f**king comprehend? Your god's people are the REASON for this trauma.

You are so blinded by ignorance that you fail to see your own people are driving others away from your "god" and yet you try and convince them the same "god" will save them. I cannot express my intense disdain for you and your people.

Some of you are okay. However, your type, those who attempt to convert people at every step they take, make me so violently sick i'd rather gut myself like a fish than breathe the same air as you. You attempt to muffle and mute people's trauma by saying "put faith in god."

There's one of two reasons

Either they were fake and weren't actually Christians, or they took things too far and need to repent

Or they were genuine in correcting you on things and you can't handle it

Your entire faith is centered around preaching your morality
They were very real Christians

What exactly was it these people did to you

i could ask you the same thing mf

It does not matter whether or not it was in good faith, the damage is done and cannot be repaired.

My last words to you: Not everyone wishes to accept your faith, if they dont, shut your mouth about it. You'll find many more allies this way.

But he can't shut his mouth
The entire point of Christianity is to preach the word of God, so if anything he's a very good Christian, which makes it even worse
