First of all, what about the women?

Second, you can't assume that because you've led the horse to water, it's going to drink. Meaning that because you've taught a person to fish, they're not going to be lazy and leave that chore up to someone else! Chances are, he'll eventually get bored with the fishing and go back to whining.

I don't have much to add to the second statement, except that anyone who takes things to that extreme is stupid and the laws of darwinism surely suggest that it's a good thing they starve.

But that's taking these statements at face value. Although come to think of it, my answer doesn't change much after looking deeper.

Knowledge IS power, but only if you wield it. Not everyone who knows better acts better, and not everyone with disadvantages (like being under a religious thumb) is going to choose doctrine over self-satisfaction.

I dunno. but, this is true.

.

ATHEISTS:
What does God call them? Preach love to them? Lets see what God says, to do with them.

You have unbeliever's, Chaff, Scoffers.

An Atheist is a "scoffer". The WORD of God, clearly tells, ATHEISTS are filhty rags they are, and to stay away

from them, and avoid them. We are NOT to plant seeds. God knows it is useless and that is why he tells us,

"You stand firm against them" ( Jer.17:8 14:1 Iah 44:4) You disassociate them completely. Any Believer that

does not abide in God's own Word, does not know God, according to God Himself.
Atheists are "chaff" A simile of the wretchedness of the wicked. Chaff is carried away by the lightest wind, and

it's removal brings about cleansing by extracting what is utterly useless. (Ruth 1:22). They will NOT stand in the

judgment. They will NOT be able to withstand God's wrath when He judges.( Pslams 76:7 Exra 9:15). This is

not my opinion, this is God's very own Words, in the Bible. You know, the BIble? The same Bible atheist scholars

quote. There is a reason God, said this. Psalms.1.1-3 Jer. 17:8 14:1 12. 1-2 18:9-10 Prov1.10-19 (vs 5)

scoffers:(atheists) those who ridicule God and definatley reject His Law. Prov 1.:22 Ruth 1:22 Jer 18:7 (pull

down-destroy) 1:10 (evil-calamity) 18:11

Pslams 1:
godly wisdom here, declare the final outcome of the two "ways". The paths of "sinners" (unbelievers) and the

"way of the righteous. he speaks progressively of assoociation with the ungodly and participation in they're

ungodly ways.

God said it. End of Story. Jesus Himself said "Let the dead bury they're dead".

Use all the Internet and Dictionaries they want to and call themselves anything they wish. God "defined" what

they are by His own Holy Word.

They can hang a dog tag* around they're neck in the pits if hell itself and separate each other by name

categorically.

God's Word said it. By God's definition. They are nothing but filthy rags. There is NO opinion.

Hate? Where do you get hate? If God's TRUTH is hate too you, then, so be it. You and God, can and will discuss

the means of your scriptural interpretation, consisting with a man-made defacto on a motion of plea bargin I

guess. I dunno.

Teach a man religion and he will deify the fish and charge people 10% of their income to be in the presence of the fish. He will get fat off the income and build enormous buildings to live in.

Yep, some people take religion to extremes... You have heard that joke about a big flood that happened in a small city. The water reached the doorstep of a very religous man's house.

"Come on! We have to go away and leave our house or we will surely die," his wife said.
"No, God will take care of me," the man replied. His wife packed her bags, took the children and left. The water became deeper and deeper and the whole first floor was under it's level. The man stayed on the second floor praying. Rescue boat came about and the people in it told him:
"Come with us! You have to go away and leave your house or you will surely die!"
"No, God will take care of me," the man replied.
The rescuers could not convince him and left. The water became deeper and deeper until it reached just under the top of the roof. The man climbed up on the top, sat down and continued praying. A rescue hellicopter came about and the people in it shouted to our guy:
"Come with us! You have to go away and leave your house or you will surely die!"
"No, God will take care of me," the man replied.
The rescuers could not convince him and left him. The water became deeper and deeper and the man died. He went before God and asked Him:
"God, why did you let me die? I had such strong faith in you, but you failed me"
"Idiot, who do you think sent you your wife, the rescuers in a boat and that hellicopter?"

And to top it, just a couple of months ago, there was a real case with a man that went into the cage of the lions in an Ukranian Zoo (as far as I remember), shouting "God will protect me from them !!!" He ended up meeting God sooner than he expected and probably asking the same question as well... LOL

You see, I think it is true. If you count on somebody else's help, or help from above, you "will surely die" :))) And a lot of the religious folk do it sometimes...

If you teach a man religion, he will be wise enough to learn how to
breed fish.

it depends on the religion and the way its taught. if he/she is lead to believe that everything is provided to man by the grace or mercy of a godthen sure. just sitting there on the banks praying that a jesus will decend and catch them a fish scale it gut is and cook it with some old bay, before he rises upward. but if you show him that he controls his own fate (manifest destiny) he will provide for him self.

Actually the believers should be embarrassed, God said go forth be fruitful and multiply. What did God get for that proclamation, a bunch of humans sitting around begging for assistance with daily living. Bet you God is wondering when we're all going to just grow up and take care of ourselves.

ha! yea so true! Christians are morons who think fish magically appear before us! The concept of getting food ourselves is too much for our frail minds to handle! ....dumb ***.

Take religion away from a man, the man will think he is all knowing.

Sure God answers our prayers but he did not make humans stupid! Obviously God is not going to do things that you can do unless you require help!

If I said dragons were real you would not care or try and protest that fact?

Yet if I rightly proclaim Jesus Christ is the Living God - You unbelievers immediately get upset and spout your mouths off. You know why? Because the Living Lord Jesus Christ is real!

God bless ya unbelievers I hope God enlightens your minds.
