Let us pray for them...
Oh, Almighty, please gather all your non-believing creations into your bosom and show them...rather...lead them over a cliff, for the lemmings that they are.
God bless.

'lead them over a cliff, for the lemmings that they are.'
"Heavenly Father, help those who do not show a godly example of who You are when they do not follow your words: -Judge not, lest ye be judged.-
Help those who claim to be Christians to know Your Word better, to cling to those words, and to show a better example of Your Truth. Break their hearts, God. Show them their error when they do not show compassion to Your creation through not judging them.
For only You know what is truly in a man's heart, and how to change 'him' to be a better representative of Your Son. And only You can reach the hearts of those who don't believe, to show them You do exist, You do love them, and You desire that they know You.
I pray that You will place these words on the heart of any person who claims to know You: 'What Would Jesus Do?'
In His precious name, Amen"
Yes, I pray for all who do not yet know our Lord, and I pray for those who claim they do. If we tell the world that our Lord represents love, forgiveness, compassion, and life (for all), then we must show them by example. "...for the lemmings that they are".... is a statement the Lord would never have made about anyone.
All believers were once non-believers, and God loved us anyway. And in His own words He told us to do the same: "Love they neighbor as thyself"; He didn't say "Love only thy neighbors who believe in Me". We are also told to love our enemies - and if we are instructed to love our enemies, then I am positive we are to show love to those who are not our enemies... including those who do not believe.
We were once where non-believers are, and I assure you that I, at least, was not a "lemming". I was a sinner, yes, and I sinned. However, as a Christian I am still a sinner and I still "fall short of the glory of God", and this is true of all Christians. Knowing this should remind us of Christ's words: "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone...."
Are you without sin? If not, then how can you judge another by calling him a "lemming"?
I pray that the conviction of the Holy Spirit will speak to you and move you to seek His forgiveness in judging others.
And, God bless you too!!! :-)
And God's blessings to all who read this post.

Not gonna happen, for all you paper christians pray, wish, and hope. You spend so much time looking out the window and past the mirror. You are so quick to judge the shortcomings of others, yet neglect your own lost souls.
I purposely didn't capitalize the 'c' in 'christian' because the very word means 'to follow Christ.' I've studied the Bible my entire life and I have yet to meet a true Christian under the banner of *any* organized religion.

Lemmings?
Interesting, I see Christians going to mega-churches, worshipping Rush Limbaugh, and spouting the same, ancient verses over and over.
I wish they would think out of the box a little. They are the ones rushing towards the edge.

Your studies & observations with faith is amazingly real and thanks to this why greater beneficial than 15% of yank inhabitants are Atheists ! ! definite Bible is intolorent and hates and immediately condemns all people who dont believe or persist with it. it is amazingly disgusting that the Bible brazenly preaches and spreads hatred. nicely this could be real for different religions additionally who additionally propagate hate and violence. And what for could we believe in a God whose existance cant be proved ! What for could we believe in a GOD who's vengeful and threatens to break if one would not persist along with his words ? There are different Gods who're in pass now and which one is to be ordinary & which one to not be and why ? while those contrdictions are reported via a rational guy or woman he or she revolts and it is the case with you. One would not turns right into a Atheist to get a NOBEL however the cirscumstances makes one so. only look at any any significant worldwide issues you will come across a diffused non secular back floor at the back of it. All religions ostensibly pontificate and propagate peace yet finally end up in violence. Then why could the rational, peace loving be a celebration to various those ? If one is powerful adequate and is confident that faith instead of intigrating , detrimental the society and humanity can deffinitely sustain with out faith. If one follows humanism, righteousnss and is amazingly specific of the products and bads of the worldwide can certainly relish the worldwide greater clever than any pseudo-religionist. come out of your melancholy you at the instant are not at fault yet your friends and others extremely have an extremely parochial and primitive mindset. they're in a convenience zone of religious safeguard which provides them a undeniable fee ticket to heaven. So why could they hardship approximately you,your rationalism and all that stuff. Theists have various shoppers on the 2d for his or her out dated wares in case you dont purchase them its your project. And certainly to resolve the project we could desire to reject those zealots thoroughly and the reasult is rising very rapid. keep going you're on the suited music ! ! ! ! ! !

Isn't religion about tolerance and loving our fellow man?
This category shows no qualities God would like to see in His so called followers.
Before you criticise, redefine yourself and what loving God means to you.
