† Billy Graham, 'America's Pastor' And Noted Televangelist, Dead At 99 †

repent while you can and accept Jesus as Lord

[The Scott]

repent while you can and accept Jesus as Lord

I no longer believe.  I am the same man, just as honest, just as opinionated and the same in every facet save that of faith.   But I could no longer believe in what I could not see.  If there is a God that would condemn me for that, FTN.  I am not a muslime.  I am not a murder nor anything else that the Word decries but I am not a believer.

I honor the words of the Nazarene, perhaps more than most "believers" because wisdom should be honored.  I have never thought much of popular pastors.  To live above the means of the flock is wrong and the majority of such people do just that.

This should strike an insecure nerve with atheists..

Fantastic Find In Israel: Proof Of The Prophet Isaiah's Existence

it's hilarious that you actually think atheists would care about this

I assume this must be your attempt at a joke

[SF1900]

I appreciate that.

And in answer to others questions I have wanted to leave on multiple occasions because this board is a basically a cesspool and I have reduced my time on this board significantly.

My wife HATES this board with a passion and honestly so do I.   I've spent my time in the last 8 years on this board for the sake of people's souls.

My wife and I are in agreement that my calling to spread the gospel is done here.   I know it is too.

My reason for not leaving yet is simple.  I need time to collect everything I've written over the years for future use.   And from what I understand all I can do is copy and paste page by page of post history until I have everything (or the important stuff).

When that's finished I'll delete my account and be gone permanently.   Just don't have time to dedicate to organizing all the posts at the moment, but I'll be making time.

So if we don't speak again God bless.

MOS three questions:

1) how did the conversation between you and your wife go? What did you two specifically discuss?

2) Why does your wife hate getbig?

3) did you show your wife Vince Goodrums YouTube channel?  Further, did you inform your wife that Vince purchased a flat screen television and extra chicken?

An Atheist might not but an atheist would.  Why?  Because an atheist is nothing more than an assholist.  Me?

I'm an Atheist and I'm not afraid to admire the good in the Gospel of the Nazarene.  A great many assholists are worse than any Christian or christian because they shout their "science" from the depths of the sewer that is their mind.   Neil deAsshole Tyson-chicken is a good example of an assholist. So too is the world of science's own "TIMMY!", Stephen Hawkings.    Two very bitter little boys who should just STFU and take their toys and bugger off to their lab and discover/create something useful to this world.  It's not that have not already done so, but they seem to concentrate more on being the poster twins for assholists.

And just so you know, there is nothing "hilarious" about MoS post.  He's a good man.  Better than you or me.

who is MoS ?

I was responding to our phony coach

I don't know you or anyone else on this board so I have no evidence that anyone here is "better" than anyone else

I'm a fan of some of the stuff attributed to the dude we think was Jesus such as the gospel of Matthew and also the Thomas Gospel (which I think has a very similar sentiment to the Heart Sutra)

These are questions that do need to answered.

I'd question my fate if God told me to spread the gospel on Getbig.

Also, in MOS's opinion, which era of Getbig was the most blasphemist?

Also, how does one reconcile his love for men in thongs with being a traditional religious being?

I was thinking Coach and typed MoS.  Oops, BFD and sorry.  The rest is as I said.  None of us knows one another except by the cover of the book we present.  And yes, you can judge a book by its cover.  If the book screams "Jason Genova!", I ain't buying it.  Some might buy it just for the stupid humor but I can get that for free.  What is that joke about how do you know an atheist is in the room?  Don't worry, they'll tell you.

It's difficult to live as the Christ would have you do. No one is perfect but then no one here is claiming to be.  I have always found professional "men of God" (or women) to be anything but.  They are just people and if you treat them better than they deserve they begin to think they do deserve it.  FTN.  God, if he exists, doesn't need your money or your worship. If God is there then he is the self-evident one. He certainly isn't some dumb nebrew fucktard or a white fucktard (e.g. LDS) that is after all the women in the world to knock them  up and put you down.  I used to say that no one reallyi knows what awaits us at our last breath.

But no amount of worry will change that.  What is there will be waiting.  It sure as fuck ain't Mormonism or Wiggsian Black BS or islime bullshit to name but three retarded examples of religion.  Never put any faith in religion because most, if not all of the rules are man made/influenced.  By religion man has committed injustices upon mankind over the centuries.  Follow no man  and place no one on a pedestal because the moment you do, they will start looking down on you.

In that respect many atheists are as bad as any believer in anything.

I  find wisdom in much of what you post about religion. I admire your ability to give leeway to some religions and wonder why when you declare some religions absolutely false but then say an obscure statement that might lead us to believe you think some religions might be ok. I also like that you admire how Jesus lived and taught and recognize that few actually follow his teachings. I wonder, are you atheist or agnostic after reading your posts and I ask this with all due respect.   

[cephissus]

lol @ most collating his work, precious things they are

Couldn't let anything go to waste now, least of all my precious soul

I was a genuine born again Christian for several decades and then one day, lost my faith.  I am now an Atheist. Outcast from all save my immediate family.  But I could not believe that God would so love the world that he would allow mankind to muck it up so.  Pretty much every evil that can be thought of has been done in the name of religion and I despise "religion".  Faith I admire.  But I have no faith in man and I could no longer believe that which I could not see nor hear.  Men do evil and call it "God's will". FTN.  It is man's desire that fuels the flames of hell on earth.

For those that do have a living faith, I admire them. MoS and Butterbean are two good people here or at least as they present themselves.  I have never had a problem challenging pastors or people of other beliefs. If you are strong in your faith, you should be able  to, not so much defend it, but instead, live it.    And that is the key.

The Nazarene put it so. "Go, and sin no more".  Never did he say, "Go and sin some more".  It is difficult to live as we should, but it is criminal to tell others how to live and ignore those guidelines ourselves.  I became more and more disgusted with the behavior of christians (such do not deserve a "C") and atheists are just as bad.  John (Reeves here) taught me that Atheists can also be atheists and as he said, assholists too.  Being an asshole is normal to a degree but being a whole ass is just plain uncalled for.

I am going way off topic again and need to take my medicine and get some rest.  I hope I have made some sense and if not, I will try again some other time.
Have a good one, brother.

Sir, you describe a condition which has existed for all known human history.  Something which Christianity clearly discusses and explains in it's scriptures and scholarly works.

I am curious how only now, after so many years of being a christian, this well known phenomenon of human evil has ONLY NOW caused you to lose faith?

[pellius]

Was he saved?

His last breath on earth was followed by his first breath in Heaven.

It's awe inspiring at the number of people whose lives he changed and saved in such a positive way.
You can scoff and reject at what he believed and preached but so much hate for such a great, great man who did so much good in this world just doesn't make sense to me. Do atheist simply hate religious people across the board? I don't see this on the side of the believers which the majority of this country
still are.

[pellius]

I’m a right-wing atheist who cherishes Christian values.

P.S. An animal’s worth is every bit as great as mine, mind you. Doesn’t mean I won’t eat the fucker. Just like I don’t hold a grudge against an animal who gets hold of my muscular ass and chows down on me.

Wait! An animal's life is equal to yours, are equal to humans, yet you will kill and eat them? If humans and animals have the same worth then what is right to do to an animal is right to do to a human.
Would you kill or eat a human? If not you then would you consider it wrong if humans kill other humans for food. If a river rat and a person were drowning and you could save only one what would you do, toss a coin?

To say that an animal has the same worth as you and then kill and eat them is a classic example of cognitive dissonance.

Nope.  Neither was it the straw that broke the camel's back.  It was just another piece of the puzzle.  That puzzle will never be completed and there will be pieces that cause me to think and rethink my choice. but I no longer can believe in something that refuses to show itself.

[SF1900]

Atheists aren't for the most part organized groups that decide what they want to hate. They are simply people that lack a belief in a god or gods.

True, but just as you have some that claim to believe belittle those that choose not to, so too are there atheists that feeeeeeeel it fine and dandy to take any opportunity to belittle those with faith.  I have always maintained that none of us really knows what awaits us as the final breath leaves our body.  I have no problem accepting I could be wrong but neither will I make a statement such as "It's turtles all the way down!"   

It is fine to not know but hold fast to hope.  It's also fine to not have hope or faith. I find that aspect of my reality to be quite depressing but it is mine and I will not force it upon others, neither will I dwell upon it for to do so is unsettling at the least, LOL! I did not force the Christ on anyone, why should I now force my emptiness?  Pffft!  Look at Wiggsian "logic".  God is black, the earf is flat and whitey is gonna pay!  Who the hell would believe in such a fucked up deity?

Oh yeah...Wiggs An idiot looking for an excuse for his failures.

As for Graham, did he live above the means of his flock?  Think about that...If so, fuck him for that.  I've had many pastors cite "do not muzzle the oxen while they tread the corn" as an excuse for fleecing the flock.  There is much in Christendom that I would think not feel, the Christ would never approve of.  But that is the way of man and not the way of the Nazarene.  Christ threw the shills out of the Temple but sadly, today these scum own the Temple.
