"Psychologically it is a reverse psychology, mind twister. Highly effective. I was under the full belief that Aliens were real, that Aliens created HIV/AIDS. Then once the New World order thing came in; which was strategically implanted to shift the blame from Aliens to the US Government. I thought H1N1 was made by the CIA even; but it's really the KGB. Why? Because of Mission Impossible 2; literally."

He admitted that he was off by a couple of months, and it's actually going to be in October.

The craziest part of this whole thing is that almost no one will come to question their religion when nothing happens.. They'll just brush it off with some bullshit like it's God's Will that made them look like idiots and move on..
>implying real christian beleived this who actually have read the bible. Taking a read through revelations will show you that it was just a bunch of crack pots who are crazycrazy!

Well apparently he is even more unaware of true christian docterene even more than I was already aware of.
Maybe I should also mention that religion is anout faith; it isn't about proof. So for any of the people in this thread trying to just do the generic "hey im an athiest, why are you christians so stupid arguement" I'm going to just define faith here.
Merriam Webster definition: b (1) : firm belief in something for which there is no proof (2) : complete trust.

That's the best part. I realize that I don't know anything in the grand scheme of things. That is what separates us.
But faith is a very circular argument. Faith in God is justified by faith in God. In order to accept the argument you must already have accepted it.

Then you probably shouldn't critique people about something you know nothing about. Do you have any proof there is no god? Do you have any proof at all? no.
In fact all the proof that exists at all (not that i give a shit about it) is pretty much on the side of religion.
So maybe you should realize since you don't know anything, you shouldn't criticize people that choose to believe in something else. It's not interrupting your day at all, so continue disrespecting something i have faith in. I'll be over here being polite and respecting what you have faith in you asshole.

The Bible is equal in all peoples interpretations, so just because one mans interpretation of the bible seems crazy to you, it makes it no less ridiculous than any interpretation anyone else may draw from it.
This perfectly highlights the absurdity in staking any kind of faith in the words of an archaic roman story book.

Well there's a difference between withholding judgement about God and saying one is a christian. I respect everyone's faith it's just hard to understand commitment to one faith over the other when you study all the world religions.
I can't speak for the OP but I think it's this that most atheists critique. And there's nothing wrong with critiquing this. There's also nothing wrong with critiquing and debating the way in which God operates.
Critiquing if God, an entity who created the universe, exists is a moot point however and is purely argued on faith without observation. But everything else following that creation is fair game imo.

well considering the bible specifically says that nobody will know.
I'm going to go with the fact anyone claiming to know the time of the christian end of times is going to be full of this.
This is not interpretation, this is reading comprehension.

I just thought it was worth pointing out that just because you define faith and connect it to religion, it clear that having faith in something, however strong, does not force it to be true, or even lend credibility to the concept.

In fact all the proof that exists at all (not that i give a shit about it) is pretty much on the side of religion.
there is more proof that we are "created" by evolution than by a god, and if there WAS a god, he would also have to arise from natural selection and millions of years of slow gradual mutations, but even then, that "god" would have to be from a race of "gods" and then he wouldnt be a "god" would he..
if god made us, who made god?
also, nothing is timeless in the universe everything must obey the laws of physics and science in some way, and the idea of a "god" blatantly disregards science by saying he "emerged from nowhere, but was always there"
and IN FACT, THE BIBLE IS NOT A SOURCE OF EVIDENCE and this has been proven many times, the amount of times the book contradicts itself is baffling
you seem to be arguing for the sake of arguing without an actual sound argument

I never said it did. If you keep acting as such you're just going to get nig-nored though so I don't have to put up with you in threads.
You still keep being the only person judging my faith. Just because you have faith contrary to mine doesn't mean you have to try to put mine down. I don't put yours down.
Can you not just respect the faith of another person?
