Splitter, Thank you so much for your deep insight into the soul.
I feel the same way about everything you said. And I thank our Heavenly Father Jesus Christ.
Honesty must be Jesus's middle name.

Norton, I hope ur listening. Catholicism is a tough way to get to know Jesus. Jus because you didn't find Him there doesn't mean He wasn't standing next to you the whole time. Maybe for you that's not the avenue to heaven.

Fruity? Ur to far gone..

HFCS - ...todays educated teens are laughing at you.
LOL.

I have well over 200 undergrad and postgrad units at the university level. I have a degree in Occupational Therapy which requires an MS degree. The vast majority of my studies were in science. Your simply blind, spiritually blind. Furthermore, your driven by a spirit of hate. If there are no X'ians to attack, you turn on your fellow compadres to demean, lambaste and ridicule. For the past 4-5 years you have posted on only the "religious" threads, spewing the same crap over and over. Your full of yourself. You have inflated self esteem, and I suspect you have delusions of rising to some authoritarian position. You have an obsession with dominance and control. You speak of my parents/grandparents, I have my suspicions of how your upbringing went. Your a scary person, a troubled man and you don't have a clue. If you treat your family, friends and associates like you treat everyone here, you are going to find yourself a very lonely man some day, I suspect. You do have attributes that are admirable, but your arrogance and pompous attitude etc, belies them.

My assessment of you, regarding your "ignorance" regarding Christians, is dead on. You know nothing of Christians, what they have done and are doing in the world, particularly the third world countries; digging wells, building homes, providing healthcare/medical services, education and hope with no strings attached. It's all about love. Your driven by hate.

this vid, when i first saw it months ago (sorry to say) reminded me of you. or how you could become if the climate and conditions were just right. and they are headed in that direction. your hate for Christians parallels, in many ways, the nazis hate for Jews, Gypsy's, gays, communist, disabled & Christians that wouldn't submit/hid Jews, etc...

kind of harsh assessment, and i sincerely hope i'm wrong. but i do believe there is still hope for you. your gifted, but misdirected.

Congrats Norton!
What if I told you I went to The Jimmie Swaggart University for 8yrs and passed with straight A's? Would that make me smarter then you about the bible? Besides being a lie. My point being, anyone can read the bible like a dictionary. And you may know an apple by its definition. But you'll never KNOW an apple until you taste it. I can tell you've NEVER tasted the blood of Jesus. Even though you may know of it... Sincerely, the ONLY thing I want to get across to you is that you missed the mark, and there's sOO much more then what you have expressed of ur experience. THROW AWAY YOUR RELIGION. AND SEEK GRACE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST.

How do those words taste comin out of your mouth?
How does if feel to keep on denying The Lord with all the information you hold about Him?
I'd jus like to know. How does this affect your ego?

.

We simply say what JC said. Read the Gospels, I suspect you haven't. If you already had, you would know that.

As several on this thread have already shared:

"If the world hates you, know that it hated me first." John 15:18

THAT is the answer to the OP's title/question for this thread. Get a clue.

edit: btw, Christians on this site never start any of these threads. you probably wouldn't here a damn thing from us if it wasn't for the proliferation of hate threads that are continually popping up. sheesh

What would his response be if we called him Shirley?

I'm not sure. But there's this old guy in Rome who's taken to wearing a dress and calling himself Francis. He claims to know a fair bit about the whole God business, so you could ask him.

So about 5,000 years ago, RA, Baal, Yaweh, and a few other gods were getting together on Thursday nights for some poker. The stakes would get pretty high, those were some crazy times.

So during his day job, Yaweh was working on the genetic engineering project with some subjects down in the area around good old Babylon. He'd been working up this line of good obient workers who were strong and could go all day. But then he lost big to RA and RA took over the project. Sent the main group of test subjects down to Egypt and put them to work. After a few hunded years they bred up a nice work force.

Yaweh then had a turn of luck. RA had three of a kind and thought he had the high hand but Yaweh laid down a full house and took the pot and got his project back.

Baal was this super nice guy who was friendly to farmers so everyone kept going to him, including Yaweh's project subjects. That really pissed him off.

IF you ever run into Yaweh, tell him "Spider" is looking for him. I've got a few choice words. I think he took off chasing some skirt about 4000 years ago. Maybe retired to Arcturas or something.

Good Question...
Oct 9, 2013 - 06:07am PT
IF there is god, it is so far removed from most human understanding that the human in its attempt to understand and make sense of it waters it down to a level it can understand-which is what we have now in so called religion.

Attempting to explain the unexplainable in human terms is only fantasy hence the bible stories, the Koran, the book of Mormon, etc...


I always liked the idea of "the great unknown".

Christians don't have the patent on silly notions, fantasy, nor on killing, torturing, or waging war.

To paraphrase one of our ST elders...

Francis urged the church to "strip" itself of its worldy attachment to wealth during his Oct. 4 trip to Assisi and focus instead on the basics of Christ's teachings. "You might say, 'Can't we have a more human Christianity, without the cross, without Jesus, without stripping ourselves?'" he asked rhetorically. "In this way we'd become pastry-shop Christians, like a pretty cake and nice sweet things. Pretty, but not true Christians."

This is one of the cruxes: it is the "pastry-shop Christians" that engender the reaction.

"The church isn't an NGO, it's a story of love," Francis told the bank's staff in the pews.

And this is part of the story, as well. When one sees pastry-shop Christians spewing hate for the unfortunate, and making the acquisition of money their primary concern, the hypocrisy is very distateful.

There is God and he's eternally there.

One can accept.

One can reject.

One can make 1 billion quotes he doesn't exist.

One can make 1 billion quotes he does exist.

None matter.

He'll never ever go away because it's impossible as we are none other than part parcel of him.

There's absolutely no escape ......

So true. I love how you worked the "crux" into your post as well.
