See what the Living God has to say about them and those who worship them!
Isaiah 41
21 "Present your case," says the LORD.
"Set forth your arguments," says Jacob's King.
22 "Bring in your idols to tell us
what is going to happen.
Tell us what the former things were,
so that we may consider them
and know their final outcome.
Or declare to us the things to come,
23 tell us what the future holds,
so we may know that you are gods.
Do something, whether good or bad,
so that we will be dismayed and filled with fear.
24 But you are less than NOTHING
and your works are utterly WORTHLESS;
he who chooses you is DETESTABLE

Same reason you choose to follow a book of fairy tales. Try lord of the rings next, it's much better written.

How lucky that you and other Christians have the best religion that the world has to offer and you don't have to do a thing but exist! When the rest of us "outsiders" do more good to promote a balanced nature and a productive field when you promote over population, super dump sites for your mass of people and the deforestation so you can have Bibles printed to leave in every hotel and motel room in this Country. A tad glib don't you think?
The test promoted here can work both ways and should be given by every Christian on this planet. Ask God to save the dying. Have God tell you of the future! Have God explain the human foolishness that they call the Bible and explain why it is easier to not do anything than it is to give forth a small miracle that would show the value of the human word of God.
Our Gods and Goddesses have their followers to do all the work needed to be done in this physical world. They don't condemn us for merely being born, nor do they make mistakes that they don't love. A human condition is their superior way to reduce population. They are called homosexuals and they are no different than any of us other than to be non-reproductive members of the human race and people who can love enough to adopt children that might not have any parent to give them a path to follow.
Our herbal healers and Witches have been the gatherers of plants that they have helped others with and their role in world is to provide huge pharmaceuticals with the plants that provide everyone relief from common headaches to cancer. We give this information freely and your drug companies charge the America three times as much as the drugs are worth here and dispense them in Europe at realistic prices. I guess this County's drug companies figure that they will make a profit here on the poor and the Government by jacking up prices so that when the Government says they will pay the "real" price these companies look shamelessly on and say "oh well at least we made something!"
So who can hold their heads up and say, I am proud to be nothing, to do work that is deemed worthless and be strong enough to shrug off being detestable! I have pride in my deities and their teachings... so what can you say? "Judge not lest thee be judged..."

I actual do no longer worship "the advent" as they define it. A tree is a in user-friendly terms a tree. It has no intelligence. Why might I worship it? I desire they understood how absurd they sound to us while they say that. heavily, i can not even decide what they think of i'm worshipping while they say that. i would not say I worship "the writer" the two. First, i've got not got self assurance in a unmarried writer. 2nd, i've got not got self assurance advent substitute right into a neat and tidy technique the place a being or beings regarded around and stated "hey, that's fairly empty right here. enable's make some thing!" My ultimate wager is that the gods and the actual international got here into existence on the comparable time.

As for Impotent I have examples of my gods helping me so I know there goes your Question.
1) 7 years ago I was working in a dinner in New Orleans and had to ware those stupid paper hats. One day I wrote on mine "Wanted Good Woman To Beat Me and Take My Money" six months later I married to someone that did beat me and take my money. Then I found my current and true love 4 years later that turned out to be the Good part of the request....Be careful What you ask for you just might get it!!!!!
2) I just asked My gods the other day(not quite a week ago) to help me find work to day is a holiday for them. They answered my request with a $16.50/hour job for the next 18 months in the field of my patron Deity.
3) Then there is the fact that God( the Christian) Admits in the 10 commandments that there are other Gods when he states "Thou Shall Have No Other Gods Before Me."
Christ never answered my praise like that. There are more examples but I think this is enough to prove my point .
Impotent! My Shiny Metal BUTT!!!!!!!!
I'm not saying you Faith Is Wrong, but it is not the Only Valid Faith.
You lose thanks for playing have a nice day.....

If Jesus is a deity, and you believe in the Crucifixion, then you are admitting that your own God is impotent because he could not save himself but died on the cross.
Where is the logic in God dying to save you from the sins which He himself is going to punish you for? Surely He can forgive you without commiting suicide?
Or can't he?

Some of us choose not to worship any gods.
Some worship the gods they think are real, just like you.
Do you realize quotes from your bible only mean something to christians?
Did you know that there is a difference between your beliefs and the objective truth?
Did you know that not knowing this makes christians seem incredibly unintelligent and narrow minded?
Did you know that your jesus is just a rehash of earlier, cooler gods?

Even if your god actually existed, I wouldn't worship the baby-murdering, puppy-drowning, slavery-condoning, genocide-commanding, torture-loving evil tyrant.

hmmm...well to start off with, perhaps we do not worship your idea of god because we are not of the christian faith! It doesn't take a genius to figure that one out. And btw, isn't there some corner or something that you could be standing on to promote your religion....instead of coming onto the Internet and doing pseudo-conversions?

This is all fine and dandy, if this was my god, but he isn't! He's the god of the Hebrews. I'm not Hebrew and their god does not appeal to me, therefore all the threats and "Persuasion" you have to offer affect me none. Too bad for you, all it does is attract all kinds of negativity to yourself (like attracts like) and gets you more riled up than this Pagan.

Can't they say the same for your god? What proof do you have that your god is real? If your god really cared so much about us worshiping him only, he would've given some proof, don't you think?
