I get tons of threats and warnings (as THE CPT) from believers saying I better fess up and believe or else....

well, quite frankly, the choice of what I believe to be God is mine alone, not yours. So if there is a judgement day, I'll be prepared to come as who I am to engage whatever is store for me. All the voices around me are moot and empty, since they are not God, they are just people like myself looking for answers through different beliefs and perspectives. Some may feel they are more correct than others, but all in all, it's still an empty threat or warning, for they are not God.

My idea of God genuinely respects those who think freely, and who come as they are, and who don't mindlessly obey man-made concepts as God.

I'm prepared also to just 'die' and become nothing. The idea of everlasting eternity seems scary, suffocating and too incomprehensible for me. The greatest relief could very well just be becoming non-existent.

Again, all your demands are empty

Women's breasts are important sexual objects:

The Bible in numerous places teaches us about women's breasts and talks about them at the same time it is talking about sexual fantasies and intercourse.

Comparing the sister's breasts to the size of the towers: Let us look at the following verses: "We have a young sister, and her breasts are not yet grown. What shall we do for our sister for the day she is spoken for? (Song of Songs 8:8)" and later about the sister....."I am a wall, and my breasts are like towers. Thus I have become in his eyes like one bringing contentment. (Song of Songs 8:10)"

Let us look at Song of Songs 4:5 "Your two breasts are like two fawns, like twin fawns of a gazelle that browse among the lilies."

Let us look at Song of Songs 1:13 "My lover is to me a sachet of myrrh resting between my breasts."

Praising the bed that they had sex on: Let us look at Song of Songs 1:16 "How handsome you are, my lover! Oh, how charming! And our bed is verdant"

Let us look at Song of Songs 1:2-4 "Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth-- for your love is more delightful than wine. Pleasing is the fragrance of your perfumes; your name is like perfume poured out. No wonder the maidens love you! Take me away with you--let us hurry! Let the king bring me into his chambers. We rejoice and delight in you; we will praise your love (i.e., semen) more than wine. How right they are to adore you!" I don't think this would be appropriate for a kid under 18 to read. Also, I don't think it is appropriate to have such open sexuality in a divine book anyway.

His right arm sexually feeling her body: Let us look at Song of Songs 2:6 "His left arm is under my head, and his right arm embraces me."

Let us look at Song of Songs 3:4 "Scarcely had I passed them when I found the one my heart loves. I held him and would not let him go till I had brought him to my mother's house, to the room of the one who conceived me." So in other words, she was not married to him, and when she found him, she took him back to her bed room to have illegal sex with him? If she were married to him, she wouldn't take him to her "mother's house". She would take him to their house.

Let us look at Song of Songs 3:10 "Its posts he made of silver, its base of gold. Its seat was upholstered with purple, its interior lovingly inlaid by the daughters of Jerusalem." Why does the Bible teach young men to spend all of their time and effort to try to impress all of the girls in their town so they can possibly end in bed with them?
The entire Bible is corrupted anyway according to its Theologians!

We must know that the Bible can not be trusted. Let us look at what the Theologians and Historians of the NIV Bible wrote about the Book of Song of Songs:

* Please be advised that the Bibliography of the NIV Bible that I used is listed at the end of this article. I used the latest version of the NIV Bible.

About the book of Song of Songs: "Verse 1 appears to ascribe authorship to Solomon. Solomon is referred to seven times, and several verses speak of the 'king', but whether he was the author remains an open question. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 997)"

As we clearly see, no one knows who wrote the porn-full book of Song of Songs. How can you claim that the books were indeed all revealed by GOD Almighty? If you're not sure, and you still insist on your claim, then you are committing a crime against GOD Almighty's Revelations.

(www.answering-christianity.com/authors_gospels.htm)

The NIV Bible Theologians and Historians also commented on other books of the Bible to be corrupted by the scribes:

"...portions of the book were probably added by scribes or editors from later periods of Israel's history... (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 183)"

The Jewish scribes had very badly corrupted the Bible and turned it into a big lie. That is why GOD Almighty said:

"`How can you say, "We [the Jews] are wise, for we have the law of the LORD," when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely?' (From the NIV Bible, Jeremiah 8:8)"

"How can you say, 'We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us'? But, behold, the false pen of the scribes has made it into a lie. (From the RSV Bible, Jeremiah 8:8)"

In either translation above, we clearly see that the Bible has too many narrated stories and man-made cultural laws that were inserted into it that were not Divine Revelations from GOD Almighty.
It's quite obvious that the Bible is more like a man made cultural book than a divine book that is meant to be for all times and all places. Anyway, the Bible was not even written by its original authors. That is why you see things such as "And Moses went up to the mountain...." instead of "And I [Moses] went up to the mountain....", or "And Jesus said to Matthew...." instead of "And Jesus said to me [Matthew]...." Most of the Books and Gospels of the Bible were written by third party people that were not even chosen by GOD, which makes the Bible just a cultural history book rather than a divine book from GOD Almighty

We christians believe the bible and we put our trust in God. We believe God made everything, and we believe He is comming back very soon. We have the bible to back us up, although you dont believe the bible. Now look at what you believe and tell me who's belief is the bibbest joke. You believe you came from a cosmic burb BILLIONS of years ago. You believe your great great great great great great great great grand parents were apes or monkeys, you believe they came from slime that washed up on the beach, you believe the slime evolved from a rock (like to know what the DNA of a rock is), and you believe that when you die you get recycled into a worm or a plant.

It doent take allot of brain power to figure out who's religion is the biggest joke.

Shall I go round my parents and have a catch up with them?
Or should I just stay in doors and tuck up in bed with the tv?
Or should I go down to the pub to sit like a third wheel with my mate and her new boyf?
Or shall I do something else totally random?
Boyf not available tonight- how very dare he!

I don't know, seems like too many people in here play God, thinking they know what God would say or think.....isn't that being arrogant and vain? Assuming you know what God thinks and does?

Shouldnt' you leave the answer as 'thats between you and God' instead of saying stuff like 'you need to believe how I do or you go to hell'....that's playing God isn't it?

Since I see that all the time in here from self-proclaimed 'devout Christians'.....am I pointing out a very obvious flaw?
