A Christian Response

[Doctor X]

Someone PM'd me ELSEWHERE the following quote. I do not post PMs unless the poster lies about the contents or otherwise breaks the rules. By sending me this, he violated the site's TOS, obviously. However, I will allow him to remain otherwise anonymous.

I merely find it a hilarious exemplar of the level of debate offered by fundamentalist christians who troll internet pages. This genius posted the typical "ur ar all morons LOLS" screed and was called on it. Posters paid particular attention to his inability to construct a coherent sentence whilst denouncing everyone who tore him apart as "morons."

Apparently I merited particular attention for raising some minor objections regarding his characterization of the biblical texts that suggest that--to him--they were something that "happened to other people."

So he wrote to me:

i will find out were you have been online, i will track your IP. i will recover passwords from all your social networking and i will send trojans to your computer.

However, after taking another sip of this wonderful red zinfindel, I remember:

Whatever happened to the Golden Rule or, turning the other cheek? ... unless of course he's just blowing raspberries at you.

[Smilin]

......he's just blowing raspberries at you.

[Stormlight]

I will send Trojans to all of you!

[Doctor X]

Is there a "shake condom" smiley?

He REALLY started to back track when I started mentioning who HE was, that what he did was not only in violation of the board's TOS, it was of his ISP, and his country's law.

So he said my writing to him was against the law! He is . . . "under 18!":

i think your threat is empty since repeatadly contacting an under 18 against their will is an offence slightly more serious than the internet crimes which i threatned yet did not actually commit.

Explains a great deal. I noted that replying to threatening messages is not against the law.

So . . . now he is begging me to stop replying.

I advised him to stop sending me messages.

Is it that difficult?

You are harassing him via reply!

First, I thought somebody did that to me, I at least crashed two times.

For MYSELF it is a wise guy's response, because I just do not see a christian, I do not want to see a chistian, and so of course any other religion.
I just see all kinds of PEOPLE, and not "artifacts".

Wise guy's for example . are as real as they come, chistians are not.

A Cunt tries to justify the slaughter of infants ordered by his god:

jsn9333 There is plenty of undeniable historical evidence that the cultures (like Amalek) that God wiped out were entire cultures of people who tortured and sacrificed children for no good reason. That is a historical fact. It is not, but like Blutto and the Germans bombing Pearl Harbor, this Cunt is "on a roll."

Given that reality, and the fact that children will almost always follow their parents culture and defend their actions, God remains love because those children likely went to a better place. All commanders, good and bad, have had to see children killed, for good reasons and bad.

So apparently YHWH cannot even save infants. But, you know, if you pray to him, you will get that home run and parking space. And people you do not like may get ass cancer.

And spend an eternity with either excruciatingly boring religionists, or psychopaths like Saint Francis Xavier! I would rather roast slowly over hot coals and listen to the Beatles for an eternity!

I'm always amazed at the Believers who seem to be convinced that everyone is a horrible, horrible person by nature, and that it's only the fear of punishment that keeps them from raping and murdering.

Yesterday, I was informed that because Christians have an objective and unchanging standard of morality, as laid down by God, and atheists don't -- that a moral atheist is, at best, a hypocrite. According to him, a moral atheist must have "borrowed" his moral principles from Christianity, and that if he truly followed his own beliefs, he would behave in a completely selfish and immoral manner.

*Sigh*

I didn't bother to even try to have a serious discussion with him about it. What would be the point?

He also made it perfectly clear that he's a Creationist and a dyed-in-the-wool Libertarian who believes that the National Parks should be sold off to the highest bidders immediately.


Sometimes, I truly fear for the future. ...

You did not respond by telling them that a moral athiest is in fact more moral than the most Christian, for the athiest is not moral for some future reward or out of the fear of an eternal punishment, but for morality's sake alone?

I've seen that argument before. When I was a believer, it's one that caused me to look in horror at the person smugly relaying it to me. Of course, I've never been overly PC and my response to that individual was somewhere along the lines of, "What a crock of shit. You really believe that?" It also caused me to delve much deeper into the OT which eventually was the biggest contributor to me becoming an atheist.

Yeah...I've nonplussed a couple of bystanders by responding to taunts to read the bible with, "Sure...Read the Bible. Read the WHOLE Bible. Cover to cover. Then read it again, like I did."

Considering I'm a known atheist, some of them do double-takes.

I tell 'em the 'begats' alone will bore them into agnosticism.

He further claimed that "you do not understand Christianity" if you do not understand that his god occasionally "has to kill children."

I wish I could state that I am being hyperbolic.

You refuse to accept his Love [Tm.--Ed.]?

You realize you will be tortured for all eternity for failing to accept his Love [Tm.--Ed.]?





I will pray for you. . . .

I understand "God" abhors duplicity. In which case maybe we should be asking which (or whose) "God" we are talking about here?

[Doctor X]

Though here is a gem:

Oh, someone sent me the original:

If you can't think of a logical and loving reason a logical, merciful, and loving God would have a child killed, then you may perhaps never be able to understand Christianity.
