"When not choosing to accept God, You have become a part
of the many who choose to follow Satan."
It's a bit laughable to suggest that I reject one of their imaginary creatures but worship another instead! The truth is of course that all their grimorie are equally ridiculous, whether it be gods or demons or angels or whatever.
I choose reality.

jim: Yeah it's truly bizarre what some people will believe. That's what you get for being mired in religious mythology from an early age, I suppose - You have no faculties with which to distinguish fact from fantasy, truth from fiction, reason from downright foolishness. These people need a *lot* of education.

no/evil/surm...: Tried it. Even asked people to pray for me to be 'shown the light'. Nothing.

Shaa: *Every* religion says that only their god is the real one, and you must follow him/her/it... but by your reasoning they must all be true!
Time to wake up and realise that they're all equally fictional.

Their god and their devil are still part of the same religion. they are so stupid that they can't see that in rejecting the existence of one, we are automatically rejecting the existence of them both.

Reality can surprise you and fact is stranger than fiction. I don't care about proving Christ to you because you have already made up your mind.
But this is the question you asked: "Do Christians believe that rejecting Christ is following the devil?" The answer is: "That depends." There are many denominations and all of them have a different opinion. I believe in the Bible. The Bible does not say you are following the devil; it just says that the devil claims you are.
God always gives you a choice. It is your right, and a true Christian should always respect your right to make a choice.

If you are an athiest. You are choosing the Devil over God, but you are not aware of that because in your mind seeing is believeing, the Devil likes to blind us from the truth. For an exsample in your statement it says. " It's a bit laughable to suggest that I reject one of their imaginary creatures but worship another instead! "
The word that you wrote in your statement that stood out was imaginary creatures. If you think these creatures are imaginary then this can be a sign that the Devil convinced you to believe, because that's what he's good at blinding us from the truth. This statement can be a sign of what the Devil made you believe, because the last thing that the Devil want's from us is to be closer to God. So he tries to perswaids us not to believe in what the Bibles tells us.
Now that's reality.

Perhaps these quotes from my book "The Plain Truth About God-101" (what the church doesn't want you to know ) might help
**“I think if the devil does not exist, then man has created him.”
”He has created him in his own image and likeness."
“ Just as man created God, then?" observed Alyosha.
-- Fyodor Dostoevsky, in “The Brothers Karamazov.”
** The bible states clearly that nobody can earn his salvation through morality and good deeds (Gnosticism) since we are all sinful by nature. We have the perfect catch 22 situation were only in the blind acceptance of Christ atoning for our deeds can we be saved. In other words, we are in a no-win situation against the so-called logic of the shaman; if we do not take his word for it then all is lost! –A.W.J.

The Christian Faith is based on the logic that you either worship Christ or Satan. You cannot do both, no matter what you think. There are many people, including myself, that "straddle the fence", meaning they go to church, pray and still commit everyday sins. Many think that as long as you repent and ask for forgiveness you're o.k, but that's not so. The purpose of repenting is so that you do not commit the same sin again. So to answer your question....Yes. If you reject God, you have accepted Satan's way. Because that is his purpose.

If you reject their religion, then you reject all facets of it. you are choosing to ignore their doctrines altogether. To say that you are choosing their devil when rejecting their god, is a great way to always be right, don't you think? "You reject A, so that means you choose B" is an argument that children will use in order to make you choose A because it is a better choice... .C never comes into play. It is an argument ploy that works right up til round age... 8 or so.
They may believe you will go to Hell when you die, but to say you CHOOSE Satan, that is plain ridiculous.

Jesus said "I AM the way the truth and the light, no man can come unto the Father but by Me."
Everyone has to make a decision on Jesus Christ, either He was a liar or He was what He was the Son of God. I choose to believe in what He said and I have no regrets, He takes care of me and looks out for me, most of all He has prepared a place for Me (John:14:1). I guess we will all find out what happens when we die, I am going to choose to go with what Jesus said, He hasn't led me wrong yet.

That must be a pretty big brain you have there snake-bate. Did you think up words like 'infinite' yourself? Or, do you get words like 'omnipotent' from somewher else? One day, your reality will end, that word is 'finito'. And sadly, you great mind won't have the time to say 'oops...'
Please consider the source of the words I've mentioned, as I think it is impossible for a finite mind, to generate anything infinite. Not even the word. Can you really say you understand an infinity?

This is not really that unusual. You see, being a Christian doesn't actually ensure intelligence. There are plenty of Christian morons out there, (as there are in any religious sect before some loser attacks me as anti christian.) Just look at the KKK.
It is just merely another form of emotional blackmail. Christian missionaries have been using it for years. Worship my god or burn in hell, and all that clap trap.
Ignore them. Believe in whatever you want to believe in, but base your beliefs on intelligent thought and deduction, not the narrow minded preaching of the uninformed.

There are many who have been taught this way, and as such do not anow anything else. They have been taught that everything is completely balck and white, and that there is no third option to anything.
These are the same people who will preach that G-d loves everyone, and that He died for the sins of every man, woman, and child on Earth... and then scream at the top of their lungs that you are going to Hell because you don't follow THEIR thinking and THEIR version of the Almighty.
The best way to deal with people who are like this is to simply walk away and leave them to their beliefs.

I choose to not accept God, and worship other gods and not believe that there is no other choice but the devil. If I burn in hell for all eternity for my beliefs, well, I was probably going to do that anyway as I have not been to church since I was ten. It's a risk I am willing to accept.
