To you God bashers and blaspemers...?

Question

Do you really want so badly to not go to Heaven? Or not want anyone else to? Why in the world would you not want to spend eternity with your Creator? Don't say it's because He doesn't exist...if you do you're lying to yourself. And I'm sick of being hated on for being a Christian...Lay OFF!!!

PS for those of you who can't read...I am not calling everyone who disagrees with me a God basher. I am calling God bashers God bashers.

Answer 1

AMEN SISTER! God bless yoU!

Answer 2

I don't hate you because you're a Christian. In fact, I don't hate you at all. I don't know you well enough for that. I think much of the problem arises, and I don't know what church or religion you belong to, when Christians, particularly those with small minds, profess that they are the only people who have the truth about religion and spirituality. I know many moderate Christian people who can accept that others do no share their beliefs and function perfectly well with the rest of humanity.

I have also seen that faction of humanity that seeks profit and fame from selling of religious practice. Unfortunately, I would have to say that the largest number of this type by far that I have encountered were of the Christian persuasion. Many of these people profess to be giving us the truth. Truth is, they don't deserve our respect, much less to be entrusted with our minds and hearts.

Most people aren't interested in the truth. What they really want is reassurance, to be told that what they believe, no matter how unsupportable or outlandish, is the truth. Down through the ages, churches and other religious institutions have filtered and selected what suited their purposes to dispense to the public. In this process they had various political and social reasons for doing so, even back as far as the old testatment.

I believe in God, but not I'm sure as you conceive God. And, I believe that if Heaven comes, we will make it here on Earth. So we better get and keep busy. Too many people are worried about the after life. We need to make this one count.

I think one reason why you may continue to get negative comments is that you have yet to truly understand the beliefs of someone who does not believe in God.

Until they feel you understand, they will continue to tell you their beliefs. Some people don't have the best way of expressing their beliefs, so I'll try to help them out here.

Please try to at least understand the beliefs of those who do not believe in God. Quite simply, they DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOD, nor heaven, nor any creator, nor the idea that saying God doesn't exist is a lie, just as you believe the opposite. It is good that you have such strong convictions in your faith, but that is not what some others believe. Rather than insisting that they are lying to themselves, just accept that there are other points of view in the world than your own. Accept that it is not that they do not want to go to heaven, it is that they do not believe such a thing exists. It is called agreeing to disagree, NOT well, you're wrong and I'm right. There is a huge difference.

Before you can expect others to respect your views, then you must respect theirs. You are not being "hated on for being a Christian." You are receiving negative feedback for your comments that disrespect the human right to hold other beliefs and your comments that tell anyone else they are wrong. Please, please accept that, while you feel you have found the one correct way, others do not agree with you and that is okay. If they are wrong, then they wil find that out in the end and they are okay with that. Please stop saying these people are any less secure in their beliefs than you yourself are, as they are not.

And that's okay.

Answer 4

Dear Lady,

I'm sure that atheists that post here don't want to deny you anything that you want.

I'm a Christian, and neither do I -- however, that doesn't mean, for example, that I'm going to suddenly say "oh yes, the Bible is God's Word," when I know its a mythic book full of myths.


For example, the Bible says that the world has corners (Isaiah 11:12) and that it sets on pillars (I Samuel 2:8). It says that God accepted a human sacrifice -- he may have prevented Isaac's, but he allowed a general to sacrifice his own daughter without even a murmur, the text giving tacit support to the idea that having given his word, the man had to kill his child. (Judges 11:30-39). It clearly maintains that genocide is often commanded by God (Joshua 10:40-42 and I Samuel 15: 2, 3 and 8) and that, after killing all the adults in a race, taking the female children as sex slaves is permissible (Numbers 31: 17-18).

The God revealed by the Bible is not only both a liar who doesn't know the natural laws of his own world, and a monster, as shown above -- but he has no real regard, even for his own people, whom he forces into cannibalism (Leviticus 26: 27-29) when he is mad at them; or his priests, whose faces he wipes with dung (Malachi 2:1-3).

It is not only gays and lesbians that are hated by bible-god -- though they are the focus of many of the fundamentalists (which I call the biblio-idolators, as they have made the Bible into an idol.) This monstrosity also suggests killing kids who eat or drink too much (Deuteronomy 21: 18-21), and says that if he is angry with parents he will kill their children (Leviticus 26:22) and he blames things upon children whose great-great-great grandfathers committed the things being blamed on the kids (Exodus 20: 5).

Putting it in a word, bible-god is a monstrosity, a horrific demiurge of evil. Something that even he admits ( Isaiah 45:7 ) [Furthermore, the word used in Hebrew for evil, the word ra' is widely conceded to mean a number of different things: It can mean "wickedness," "mischief," "bad," "trouble," "hurt," "sore," "affliction," "ill," "adversity," "harm," "grievous," and "sad." So no matter what particular interpretation is given of this word -- it has profoundly negative implications. The idea that god is sovereign over the affairs of man makes this even worse, because no matter what interpretation it has, it indicates that bible-god deliberately does harm.]; evil about which he sometimes changes his mind (Exodus 32:14). What a font of unchanging morality -- that almighty God can decide to kill an entire people, and then be talked out of it by a human servant... Furthermore, it is obvious, if God can change his mind, then even if the Bible were not full of errors and horrors, you could not trust that God had not changed his mind on any other issue in it.

So, yes, I suppose if one wants to take as truth a book that says that beetles have four legs instead of six (Leviticus 11: 21-23) and that rabbits chew their cud [which they do NOT] (Deuteronomy 14:7) and if you are willing to, having accepted it as truth, overlook the fact that bible-god routinely changed his mind (I can show you other instances if you wish) then yeah, its the word of God.

I on the other hand know what infallible means -- and an infallible God could not create a fallible book -- so the Bible is simply myth.

Answer 5

See, now look what you did. See the poo? See the fan? I think someone just threw the poo at the fan!

You do realise that your logic can be used against you? YOu say that those that do not believe cannot simply say G-d does not exist, and to do so is to lie to oneself. Well guess what? To those that do not believe, when you say that G-d exists they say you are lying to yourself.

The problem here is a matter of prespective. To those that believe in G-d, the proof of existence is all of creation, or for some, no proof is necessary because of the divine nature of G-d. To those that do not believe, the natural world is not proof of G-d's existence. G-d is faith based, and does not require proof, but for those that do not believe, beliefs must be backed up with logical proof. You are at odds here. Apples and oranges, faith and logic.

Also, do you realise that christianity isn't the only religion in the world? Some people are very happy with their choices in faith and take offense at proselytisation. To say that they are wrong and that your way is the only way is extremely offensive.

Answer 6

Thanks! I needed a good laugh!

And btw, its not about what you WANT, thats why they call it reality. It is what it is. Do you think non-believers WANT to die and rot like so much garbage; to cease to exist, and to know that ultimately their life has no more meaning or purpose than that of an ameoba? Think again, girly. When you reach a certain intelligence level you lose the ability to deceive yourself. You can no longer convince yourself that 1+1=3 and that santa claus is real. I really hope you never do figure this out, cause even though your quite insane now, your tiny, fragile mind would implode completely were you to see reality as it is. Can you imagine the dawning horror of that realization? That said, go read your buy bull and think happy, warm, fuzzy thoughts lest some of this intelligence rubs off on you and you really go loony on us.

La la la. La la la. Happy happy. Jesus is lord! La la la...

Jesus said:

Matthew 24:9
"Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me.

Matthew 24:8-10

Luke 19:14
"But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, 'We don't want this man to be our king.'

Luke 19:13-15
John 15:18
[ The World Hates the Disciples ] "If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.
John 15:17-19


John 15:24
If I had not done among them what no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have seen these miracles, and yet they have hated both me and my Father.
John 15:23-25

John 15:25
But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: 'They hated me without reason.'
John 15:24-26

John 17:14
I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world.

Answer 8

Hi, sorry you feel hated for being a Christian... but you don't seem to have any respect for people who don't share your faith. I don't think there's a God, so I'm not counting on spending an eternity with him (which actually sounds a bit boring). If you think I'm lying to myself... well, I don't. I can't see what makes you the better judge of that.

Answer 9

Boy, you won't have any more fun when you are with your creator. You will have to tow the line, and you won't be free to let your imagination go wild anymore. If you are hated, it is because you are a bit crazy, and insane people are kind of dangerous. You never know what they will say or do. When you are in your imaginary Heaven, please do not dig up the gold streets or try to make it with the angels that are flying around there.

Answer 10

Do you not see the ridiculousness of your argument?

What if I were to ask, "Do you really want so badly not to get to the Summerlands? Or not want anyone else to? Why do you not want to acknowledge the God and Goddess and honor them in your daily life? Don't say it's because They don't exist... if you do you're lying to yourself. And I'm sick of being hated on for being a Pagan... Lay OFF!!!"

See how that works?

Not everyone believes in Christianity. Deal with it and move on with your life, and let them move on with theirs.

Answer 11

Hmm...I see you are one of the many brain-washed Christians out there. Can you prove that God exists? Can you prove that Heaven exists? No.
It's all. Written. On. A. BOOK.
You know that feeling you get and think that "God" or "Jesus" is inside you? That's called the feeling of self-satisfaction, genius.
Why do you people belive everything that a BOOK says?
