    this may come as a surprise to you, but when some idiot asks "what does the Bible say about....." and we tell them what the Bible says, it isn't a circular argument.......

    I never asked what the Bible said. I asked why nonbelief is bad. You countered with the circular Bible reference.

    That’s all you Thumpers have. The book that claims it’s true because God said so and God said so in the Bible.

    Laughable and pathetic at the same time.

    Circularity is the best you have? Guess your god skipped over you when he was giving out objective thinking brains. You merely got the lemming brain.

    The meaning of "rejection", is subjective and has a different meaning, depending on who's using it.

    I'm not up on my scriptures; but I believe that there is something about he who doesn't recognize me in life, will not be recognized in death (or something to that).

    My interpretation is that if you don't accept God, you have rejected Him.

    And I've already said that I don't believe in Death Bed Absolution; because in that case, everyone could just deny God until the final moment.

    So you do realize the failure in your thinking and conclusions.

    Good job on finally being honest.

    Works well for men wanting to control the weak minded.
    Has nothing to do with what a Priest or Deacon says; because it's totally depended upon your actions or lack of.

    What they expect and what becomes of it, are two different things.

    If Hitler asked for forgiveness, just before his demise, and a Priest granted it; then do you believe he's in Heaven?

    Failure on your part, moron. Your god is anything but benevolent.

    I've seen very few threads started, whos intent was to convince anyone that God exists (there may have been a few); but I've seen numerous threads started, with the intent to discredit those who do believe.

    As I've said before:
    I've never seen so much work put into trying to disprove something, that some don't believe in; in the first place.

    Makes me wonder if they truly believe that God doesn't exist.

    When that's all the opposition (atheists) has to offer, then it's best to go with the flow; because other wise they just continue.

    Since we don't know the way or wherefore, the conclusions are based on your own ability to explain them; because what this is beginning to look like, is that you're really just terrified of things you can't understand or get an immediate answer to.

    Why have you been allowed to survive, when there have those who think the world would be better off without you?

    I get it. Never question your god. More lemming thought in your part. “He works in mysterious ways.” Right?

    Stupid question on your last one. Nobody that knows me thinks that. Only you fucking idiots that I expose on this forum might believe that. But then again, you ARE idiots.
