Quoting: Lucky Charms Fear... you want more fear? I think there is enough fear in the US at this moment tbh. You want people to be afraid of God? God should be an object of fear in your opinion? What is meant by "fear God" is fear God's wrath and obey his commandments. Remember Sodom & Gomorrah, remember the Flood. God will NOT be mocked. |

Remember Sodom & Gomorrah, remember the Flood. God will NOT be mocked. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 19453323 So then the answer is yes, in your opinion God is something to be feared. You say that the US used to be afraid of God and in your opinion it should return to a state of fear of God's wrath... correct? Sorry to beat the point to death but I like to understand a posters point of view, terms like "God fearing" and "grace" are very difficult for a non believer to understand as the definitions given by believers often contain even more esoteric terminology.

You believe that God (the Christian deity of the Bible) is not actually "all forgiving" and is very capable of anger and rage and will act on these emotions and create destruction and kill people on a large scale when his anger is roused. Do you believe this has happened in the modern era? For example certain recent natural disasters are a form of punishment for "wickedness" on a large scale? 'Magically Delicious' |

I am not preaching beliefs so much as I am preaching biblical truth. That's what you need to consider. This is not belief, this is God's word. Yes, God does punish the wicked however he sees fit, including disasters. Remember, God destroyed Sodom & Gomorrah for their wickedness. God has the capacity to forgive. A sinner, such as an atheist, may have their heart softened by God's grace. God's grace is a gift. God is not all-loving. Any preacher who tells you "God loves everyone" is not telling you the truth. God does not love unrepentant sinners. He may love them if they repent, by the gift of God's grace. I hope this clarifies matters for you on Biblical truth. |

I am interested in living in a country that fears God and is governed by Godly principles. That's what you are interested in. This is a free country, a country that gives you the freedom to live that way and myself to live how I choose. I was a Catholic growing up, then I was "reborn" and atheist. We could debate this topic all day, but anyone with an education knows how barbarous and violent religious extremists have been and are being. Religion has been and always will be a tool to control the weak minded masses. Every religion believe's theirs is the proper religion and their God the one and true God. If I had to pick one, I'd go with Odin, as he actually did what he said he'd do and with the help of his son Thor he rid our world of Frost Giants. But that's just me, I go with results...

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 19453323 God's grace is a gift. God does not love unrepentant sinners. He may love them if they repent, by the gift of God's grace. So... God will not forgive me if I do not repent. This is fair enough. My heart is as you would say, hard to God. But my heart may be softened by God's "grace" (still unclear what this is). However you then state that this "grace" is a gift coming only from God correct? So basically... my heart will only soften if God gives me grace because there is no intellectual rationale that will convince me, an atheist, otherwise. So it's totally up to him. Therefore I can only repent at his will and if he does not will it (ie: does not give me the gift of grace) I go to Hell? So it's totally out of my hands then because I do not detect this "grace" in my life... I go to Hell purely because he has willed it and has decided not to give me grace. Hardly fair from my point of view. 'Magically Delicious' |

Certainly moreso than monotheists. Any idiot can choose to fear a God of their own invention; it takes real will to try and fill in the blanks of life and existence without a "God" to refer to. |

Another thing that concerns me is that people are looking for (and finding) personal truths on YouTube! Then, you come to places like this and ask people whom you know disagree with whole idea to challenge you in the some stupid debate on the matter, when you're forgetting that YouTube is a bunch of bullshit to begin with. You're better off looking for personal revelation in dreams, but you guys do that too, so I guess there is no hope. When we don't fall for your obvious trolling, and bait threads to start religious fights, you accuse us of being possesed by Satan! Of course we don't believe in that either, so you're just adding to the already miserable fail of a thread. I really wish you religitards would wake the fuck up, and realise that you're causing way more harm than you even know. You've convinced yourselves that you know you're right before the debate even starts, so what's the point in engaging you people at all? Your truths are your truths, they have nothing to do with anyone else. Atheists too, have found their own personal truths. Why in the world that makes you people so angry is beyond me. Why you just refuse to let people believe what they want to believe. People are going to act, think, and believe in whatever they want, and no fucking YouTube video is going to change that. If you're too immature, or brainwashed to think that you can change someone's mind without any evidence, facts, or proof, than you should probably stop trying to bait people into fighting with you. You should be more excited that others will have their own belief system, atheists respect that people can think what they want, unless their assholes like the Christian fundamentalists on this board. It's beautiful, you should embrace it. It's the difference that is worth talking about. Not what's right or wrong. Don't be childish.. It's just not your place to be trying to change anyone's mind. You have no more evidence one way or another than atheists have. And you should seriously consider how harmful what you're doing might be. This open challenge, and certainty in your own belief is what is wrong with the world. Take away the selfish need to be right about everything, and you take away the violence, hate, homophobia, sexism, war, and internet bullshit. Now read what I've written, and read it thoroughly, because I've written it from a humanist perspective, something you could learn from. |
