But can you say the same if someone says they don't believe in your sky daddy? Based on the evidence posted by the conspicuous christians, including yourself, you can't.

An atheist merely has to say "I don't believe in god", and the sky is light up with the flames of outrage, insults and name calling. .

Atheists don't merely say "I don't believe in god", atheists always use insults like "I don't believe in your "sky daddy" or something a LOT WORSE!! If you really want to bring up "flames of outrage and name calling" we can bring up your past posts for an example of GROSS HYPOCRISY. Do you really want to go there? Who do you think you're kidding???

Yes, this website has many hundreds of members but only three or four continue to defend their fairy tales with nonsensical arguments and insults when they run short of anything else, and of those one merely posts walls of text of other people's thoughts, another with nothing but one liner insults.

Wrong! If you look at the 640 posts in this thread, all are pro-religion with the exception of a few atheist pain in the asses who keep posting insults; which in itself is very telling about a person's character. Normal people don't enter a religious thread looking for a row. Look back. See for yourself. Just a handful of you.
 
This is very true, but we are not the ones that rant and rave, we bring reason, logic and facts to the debate, and every now and then a theist will stop, listen, and begin to think about what they believe, and question that which they have just swallowed without ever challenging it. Many a former theist has become an atheist, not because of what anyone said to them, but because they began to question what they have been taught, often with instructions to not question.

Your post above demonstrates which group does the ranting and raving, and name calling.
Facts? XD, there are no facts in support of either argument. You think ridiculing people, calling them stupid and making the fairy-tale, skydaddy remarks is reasonable, logical or factual? You said you were raised by atheists. Thus you're an example of "gut value programming." You believe what you were taught. Take a sociology course. Understand who you are and where your beliefs originate.
 
Conspicuous Christians (the annoying and grating loud ones) can say anything they want as obnoxiously as they want about anybody who doesn't share their beliefs. That's constitutionally-protected religious free speech.

Athiests who offer anything in rebuttal are "agents of the devil" who constantly "spew." They are not supposed to do that because religious free speech is supposed to be off limits for adverse comment. They are engaging in a "war on christianity."
Neither of you have religious free speech rights on private property. Anywhere but public lands such speech may be regulated. Go try the local mall and see what happens. Same is true for a private chat forum.
 
nosrene there is nothing wrong with being reasonable...everyone is entitled to their belief. I believe the rub on some threads comes when some state their belief and others attack. If a poster states he believes in MonkeyDaddy I'm pretty sure no one here will make it their life mission to hammer them. No need to attack, just share your thoughts.

sinful nature is always hostile to God....

Atheists don't merely say "I don't believe in god", atheists always use insults like "I don't believe in your "sky daddy" or something a LOT WORSE!! If you really want to bring up "flames of outrage and name calling" we can bring up your past posts for an example of GROSS HYPOCRISY. Do you really want to go there?

Speaking of hypocrisy, I think it just bit you on the butt.

You should also note that saying "sky daddy" does not insult the person, though some can't seem separate the two. It is no different than if I use a derogatory term for your choice in guns, or what you drive. The theists are the ones that insult the individual because they are an atheist.

Example of the theist and their name calling, this one coming pretty much out of the blue, can be found above, but for your convenience I'll just quote it here:
The atheist can rant and rave and bloviate all they want, but I can tell you they will never convince 1 Christian to disbelieve in God and Jesus. Because a true Christian NEVER gives up. NEVER! So put that in your pipe and smoke it, atheist morons.

Granted none of the examples I included were your words (you words are a rare commodity, you usually just copy/paste the words of others), but they do demonstrate the actions of the conspicuous christians.

You,

Farmhood,

The above I would consider participants, those below not so much for reason stated.

Ringo, occasional joins the discussion, typically just posts links or a wall of text of someone else's thoughts, and definitely posted more than his share of personal attacks, often repeating them with his superior copy/paste skills.
FF - but usually just a one liner attack or insult
SR9 - typically just name calling/insults
Stan - typically just name calling/insults
 
While there are no atheist subforums in gun forums that I'm aware of, there are quite a few atheist forums and blogs. There used to be an atheist gun forum but I don't think it's operating any more. There is very little religion talk (beyond discussion various violations of the Establishment Clause all over the country--but no trashing of religious people for being religious, as opposed to what they try to force on society with it), and especially nobody mimicking the christian forum style of trying to "out unbelieve" anyone else or screwing themselves into the ceiling because somebody's take on a Hitchens or Dawkins book differs from theirs, or whining because somebody forcefully disagrees with what they say. Atheist forums deal with mainly with topics like guns (there are LOTS of nonbeliever 2A proponents), bettering the community, volunteering, improving education, music, cars...the same things as everywhere else but with well-developed thoughts and a lot fewer grammar, spelling, and syntax errors than you generally see in religion forums.

I find your comments very interesting but why the parting shots? If you would like a grammar, spelling and syntax error free zone....please start that thread. #bealeader

Ok now I feel a bit convicted. I realize I stooped a little low and copied a term, converted it (SkyMonkey) and used it poorly to make a point. X you are right on that one...you called it bit in the butt. My Pops called it leadership. Sorry about that one and gonna try not to do that stuff.

No problem, in fact since evolution is a fact, it didn't workout to be the insult you might have intended. But I salute your courage to make that admission, not a common trait.
 
One more thought...I like the cut and paste articles also the links. Thanks Ringo and others. I am busy (not as busy as that one guy) and it's very helpful to catch some of those links on my phone.

If we don't display the fruits of the spirit when we are dealing with the lost then we will never reach them. We are living in sad times when mans heart has become so cold and calloused concerning God. Christians should carry a true burden for the lost. Sadly Christians (ALL) fall short but thankfully we're forgiven. Fruits of the spirit should be displayed not only in the mission field but also in this forum. By the way you don't have to go to a foreign land to to be in a mission field. Your home town will do. We need to be mindful of how we interact with the lost . If God once showed us mercy can he not do the same for others?
 
Colossians 3:15 NLT

And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful.

Sorry longslide, that's going way too far. The last true prophet to use “thus saith the Lord” was John the Baptist. Any other use of "thus saith the Lord" was never spoken by any disciple, apostle or believer. What I find interesting is why would anyone bother even listening to any believer that says, “Thus saith the Lord” when not one disciple, believer or apostle did that in the entire new testament account. You"ll find hundreds of references in the New Testament saying the Holy Spirit spoke through believers or the working power of the Holy Spirit, but you will not find one reference in the new testament of the Holy Spirit telling a real believer to say “Thus saith the Lord". Jesus did away with that at Calvary and Pentecost, so if they say "thus saith the Lord" I wouldn’t even blink an eye in concern or take them seriously, except maybe I would be worried for those listening to them. (2 Timothy 4:3).."For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear".

So let me ask you, do you think this guy is a quack or a false prophet since he says this is a pre-rapture event meant to shake Gods people ? I wasn't to sure with some of what he said or what that other pastor / priest that died had said or which was the one that had the so called vision. I did find it interesting in the fact that revelations does make mention of such a thing happening right, maybe not exactly like that but similar. I think other visionaries like Edgar Cayce for example have seen the same thing too. As we get closer to the rapture and tribulation period the earth will go through more and more violent changes which could include this meteor strike correct?
 
No problem, in fact since evolution is a fact, it didn't workout to be the insult you might have intended. But I salute your courage to make that admission, not a common trait.
Evolution is God's method of creating and sustaining life. Even the catholic church supports evolution. It's called "developmental creation or theistic evolution." See www.catholic.com for the info below.
.
People usually take three basic positions on the origins of the cosmos, life, and man: (1) special or instantaneous creation, (2) developmental creation or theistic evolution, (3) and atheistic evolution. The first holds that a given thing did not develop, but was instantaneously and directly created by God. The second position holds that a given thing did develop from a previous state or form, but that this process was under God’s guidance. The third position claims that a thing developed due to random forces alone.
.
Concerning human evolution, the Church has a more definite teaching. It allows for the possibility that man’s body developed from previous biological forms, under God’s guidance, but it insists on the special creation of his soul. Pope Pius XII declared that "the teaching authority of the Church does not forbid that, in conformity with the present state of human sciences and sacred theology, research and discussions . . . take place with regard to the doctrine of evolution, in as far as it inquires into the origin of the human body as coming from pre-existent and living matter—[but] the Catholic faith obliges us to hold that souls are immediately created by God" (Pius XII, Humani Generis 36). So whether the human body was specially created or developed, we are required to hold as a matter of Catholic faith that the human soul is specially created; it did not evolve, and it is not inherited from our parents, as our bodies are.
.
OK atheists... now what?
 
Israel: America Danger Point

America-Israeli relations have reached a crisis point, according to reports that continue to grow. The mainstream news media, like in so many cases these days, prefers to adhere to White House news governance and just remain silent while dissension grows within diplomatic enclaves.

News sources report that the top Israeli defense official, Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon, was barred from meeting with Vice President Joe Biden, Secretary of State John Kerry, and other top administration officials during his most recent official visit to Washington, DC. The flap began with Kerry pressuring Israel to come to the table of peace without first getting certain precursor agreements the Israeli government wants in order to sit down at the table of peace with the Palestinian Authority and other of Israel’s avowed enemies.

The Israeli defense minister, at the time of Kerry bringing the pressure on Israel, called the secretary of state's over-the-top demands “obsessive and messianic,“ and said, "Kerry should win his Nobel and leave us in peace."

The American government’s (Obama’s) treatment of the Israeli defense minister personally--and of Israel in this recent occurrence--is likely in response to this statement. However, the president and his top officials have consistently dealt with Israeli officials in this way since the current administration was installed in Washington. It is a most dangerous method of interacting with the city and nation that God calls "the apple of my eye." This almost certainly amounts to, at the very least, “poking in the eye” Benjamin Netanyahu and his efforts to keep the Israeli nation safe from surrounding peoples blood-vowed to push Israel and the Jewish people into the Mediterranean.

Despite the fact that even the UN ambassador, at first, and Obama’s closest advisers were prohibited from giving the Israeli defense minister an audience, Ya'alon did manage to have a successful meeting with his US counterpart, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel. Finally, when Ya'alon was allowed to meet with the UN ambassador, he was reportedly subjected to a diatribe of how Israel must give in the matter of settlements in the disputed areas that are blocking the peace effort.

At the same time, like in any political venue, Israel has its peace-at-any-price group. Such is the case of Israel's finance minister, Yair Lapid, who is quick to praise the Obama administration and call on the Israeli government to soften on the matter of giving up land for peace. He shows his colors by his statements, in my humble view.

Lapid, who has often opposed Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon over the Israeli defense budget, recently put in his two cents in regard to the serious crisis developing between the US and Israeli allies. After learning of those tensions, he said, “We need to act with more respect. We must remember that US funds and technology helped Gaza operation.”

He went on to tell a Tel Aviv meeting, "We mustn't pretend there isn't a crisis.… Our relations with the US are vital and everything that can be done must be done to end this crisis."

So, Mr. Lapid prefers the Chamberlain approach. Just give in to your enemies and all will be okay, so long as you have a document of peace to wave before the people who will then soon be sent to gas chambers.

With the growing anti-Semitism throughout the world and the storming of the likes of ISIL across the regions north of Israel--movements that have at their hearts satanic hatred for the Jewish state and people--the danger is obvious. US relations with Israel are at a crisis level. The ramifications of the American government acting contrary to Israel’s interest could be devastating. Make no mistake, though. Those ramifications wouldn’t be devastating to Israel. That nation and people are God-guaranteed to be the one nation on earth that will be standing tall when all of the vicissitudes of history have played out.

The effects on the United States will be nothing short of devastating if we pull away from Israel--in her time of need, or ever!
Israel is far from perfect. The nation and the people have time and time again pulled out of God’s traces. He has dealt appropriately with that nation, as the Perfect Father disciplining a wayward child. In the end, though, that nation will stand as the apex nation of the world. God has spoken that fact. All other nations will be dealt with in accordance with how they have treated God’s chosen nation. America, under this administration, is dealing any way but in the Biblically prescribed way. It is a dangerous course our leaders have chosen.

I don't like having post number 666 so I am posting this post just to post a post.

Don't allow it to concern you.

(2 Corinthians 6:14) "Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness"?

Superstition is based on ignorance or lack of true knowledge of God and His ways. Superstition is also based on the fear of the unknown. Astrologers and other similar conmen make great use of this factor. Our faith is based on trust and confidence in God and His revealed word. We must be willing to leave the unknown in the faithful hands of our God who knows and plans our future.

Evolution is God's method of creating and sustaining life.

Evolution didn't exist in the christian's vocabulary until advances in science (biology, DNA and related fields) made it impossible for christians to merely brush aside evolution, so it was re-categorized as "goddunit" and the BS continued.

85% of the members of the National Academy of Scientists are non-believers. Within the NAS, the discipline that has the highest rate of non-belief, 96% are the biologists.

The challenge of debating with a theists, is that when loosing the hand, they merely throw down the "goddunit" card, thinking it is a trump card, and claim victory.

And even as a evolution believing (well kinda, you hedge your bets by injecting 'god magic'), but at least you acknowledge it exists. Sadly 42% of Americans are stuck with the ignorance of creationism. But look closer, that is 42% of Americans, while 78% of Americans identify as some variety of christianity. Assuming (safely) that the other 22%, atheist, agnostics, and non-christian don't buy into this it indicates that a majority (54%)of christians believe that god spit and blowing on a dirt clod and a rib are the origin of life.
 
So let me ask you, do you think this guy is a quack or a false prophet since he says this is a pre-rapture event meant to shake Gods people ? As we get closer to the rapture and tribulation period the earth will go through more and more violent changes which could include this meteor strike correct?

If he said, "thus saith the LORD", then yes IMO he's definitely a quack. Everything will continue to wax worse & worse until the Rapture happens. After the Rapture, even before the 7 year Tribulation Period, peoples worse nightmares will come true and living conditions will be the closest thing to HELL ON EARTH. During the Tribulation Period meteor strikes could easily be happening as part of God's judgement.
