Gaps in beliefs

Church… the Taco Bell of hungry people.

The larger the gap is between your expectations and your reality, the larger the seedbed is for bitterness and resentment.

So, if you can't change your reality (drugs work at that temporarily…) then change your expectations.

...change my expectations...?,…you mean the ones that Jesus told me to expect...? You mean all the expectations Christianity said you could rely on because God doesn't lie? Like - ask and you shall receive? Like, those that put their trust in him shall never be disappointed (ashamed) Romans 10:11...?

Are you talking those expectations? Because well then...it appears the bible is a made up book of random shit and real life proves it's nothing but bullocks (those are balls)…

Or, God can't seem to do two things...override man's free will or do miracles when people don’t believe he can. (Mathew 13:58) “yeah, so much for sovereignty, looks like Simon Cowell’s grandfather was at “Judea has talent” back then as well.

Apparently God is pretty powerful...unless you don’t believe in him - then he's as helpless as a Midianite virgin about be penetrated by our friends - the people of God. ((Numbers 31:17-18)--"Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man intimately. 18"But all the girls who have not known man intimately, spare for yourselves."

Let's add up the score for the people who like keeping track of things. God hates women who've fucked before...but not the ones who haven't. He's all powerful unless you use stuff made from iron, or doubt his authority...then he's like -"no way man, that shit's for real, just ask the 12 unemployed guys I met"

I'm sorry, but God is sounding like an insecure middle-eastern "man" with every sentence. Now, middle-eastern men are just like every other man except for one important detail...some of us EVOLVED.

Now I realize vulgar language is offensive and I apologize if you can't see past that to get the point. But my next question is what are so offended at then...my use of the words, or the fact that it's "God's will" or that, is written more "acceptably" by the idiots who want you to believe it.

Gee...I wonder why Christians are so upset by Muslim theology. Same guy. Same Agenda, just different initials.
Christians tend to like large sounding words and terms, especially if they sound Greek. Not so much the Hebrew though, those being Jewish and all. But Greek…Oi, they love that shit. So, πιστεύω σκύλα – that’s Greek for “believe bitch…

The theme of the bible is hate – not love. It’s about war and planting the flag of Yahweh. Nowhere in the bible will you find “and Abraham made love to Sarah and raised their son to love their neighbors…” No, it’s “dammit to hell Sarah, you got two weeks to get pregnant or I’m fucking the maid…you pregnant yet?

Then, once the little guy is born and gets old enough; it’s conquer them Isaac, kill them all, and keep nailing their virgins until they speak Yiddish. Sorry…I mean, “go forth and occupy Cannaan.”

But Unsurestill, aren't you just bitter and making a mockery of everything you've learned about the bible.

(…uh, yes, yes I am) But, being bitter is just the beginning. I have much more ambitious plans.

The theme of the bible is hate – not love. It’s about war and planting the flag of Yahweh.Think back to when someone hurt you that you trusted. They had your total and complete trust. Devotion in fact. You defended them even when you knew they were wrong. But you did it because you loved them and never wanted to see them suffer, because you’d suffer too if they did.

Now fast forward to the day that person turned on you. They made you the target of all their crimes and openly humiliated you for being so stupid and gullible. And when you dropped to your knees and pleaded with them… all they did was mocked you in your most vulnerable moments and accused you of being needy and “not worth the effort.”

I plan on kicking in the fucking doors to where that son-of-a-bitch lives and dragging his lying, deceitful ass out into the open and showing everyone what a piece of shit he is. Church doors don’t have locks strong enough to stop then truth from getting in, and don’t have people strong enough to stop it from getting out.

If you’re a believing Christian you are not the problem, I have no issue with you, in fact we were all one of you at one time. I think you have a lot of potential and you are considered a friend…well worth investing the truth into.

However, if you refuse the truth, and want to vainly defend your stand against all logic and reasoning, then good luck with that. You are the majority of Christians that know 20% of the bible and only read less than 10% of it. Keep listening to you pastor (paid liar)…he’d never steer you wrong.

Sorry, I mean just do what you do in every other part of your life when it comes to the bible. If your employer said: “do this and I’ll pay you on Friday for it”…and you did it. What are you going to do on Friday when your employer says: Sorry mate, but you didn't believe me enough when I said I’d do it, so keep doing it until you “really” believe?”

Would you show back up on Monday for work at that pricks’ business?

Then why do you keep showing up at church on Sunday? You’re not stupid…you’re just deceived, and there’s a difference.

Are You an Atheist Success Story?

By Avangelism Project ~ F acts don’t spread. Stories do. It’s how (good) marketing works, it’s how elections (unfortunately) are won and lost, and it’s how (all) religion spreads. Proselytization isn’t accomplished with better arguments. It’s accomplished with better stories and it’s time we atheists catch up. It’s not like atheists don’t love a good story. Head over to the atheist reddit and take a look if you don’t believe me. We’re all over stories painting religion in a bad light. Nothing wrong with that, but we ignore the value of a story or a testimonial when we’re dealing with Christians. We can’t be so proud to argue the semantics of whether atheism is a belief or deconversion is actually proselytization. When we become more interested in defining our terms than in affecting people, we’ve relegated ourselves to irrelevance preferring to be smug in our minority, but semantically correct, nonbelief.

So Just How Dumb Were Jesus’ Disciples? The Resurrection, Part VII.

By Robert Conner ~ T he first mention of Jesus’ resurrection comes from a letter written by Paul of Tarsus. Paul appears to have had no interest whatsoever in the “historical” Jesus: “even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, we know him so no longer.” ( 2 Corinthians 5:16 ) Paul’s surviving letters never once mention any of Jesus’ many exorcisms and healings, the raising of Lazarus, or Jesus’ virgin birth, and barely allude to Jesus’ teaching. For Paul, Jesus only gets interesting after he’s dead, but even here Paul’s attention to detail is sketchy at best. For instance, Paul says Jesus “was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures” ( 1 Corinthians 15:4 ), but there are no scriptures that foretell the Jewish Messiah would at long last appear only to die at the hands of Gentiles, much less that the Messiah would then be raised from the dead after three days. After his miraculous conversion on the road to Damascus—an event Paul never mentions in his lette

Christian TV presenter reads out Star Wars plot as story of salvation

An email prankster tricked the host of a Christian TV show into reading out the plots of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air and Star Wars in the belief they were stories of personal salvation. The unsuspecting host read out most of the opening rap to The Fresh Prince, a 1990s US sitcom starring Will Smith , apparently unaware that it was not a genuine testimony of faith. The prankster had slightly adapted the lyrics but the references to a misspent youth playing basketball in West Philadelphia would have been instantly familiar to most viewers. The lines read out by the DJ included: "One day a couple of guys who were up to no good starting making trouble in my living area. I ended up getting into a fight, which terrified my mother." The presenter on Genesis TV , a British Christian channel, eventually realised that he was being pranked and cut the story short – only to move on to another spoof email based on the plot of the Star Wars films. It began: &quo

ACTS OF GOD

By David Andrew Dugle ~ S ettle down now children, here's the story from the Book of David called The Parable of the Bent Cross. In the land Southeast of Eden – Eden, Minnesota that is – between two rivers called the Big Miami and the Little Miami, in the name of Saint Gertrude there was once built a church. Here next to it was also built a fine parochial school. The congregation thrived and after a multitude of years, a new, bigger church was erected, well made with clean straight lines and a high steeple topped with a tall, thin cross of gold. The faithful felt proud, but now very low was their money. Their Sunday offerings and school fees did not suffice. Anon, they decided to raise money in an unclean way. One fine summer day the faithful erected tents in the chariot lot between the two buildings. In the tents they set up all manner of games – ring toss, bingo, little mechanical racing horses and roulette wheels – then all who lived in the land between the two rivers we

Why I left the Canadian Reformed Church

By Chuck Eelhart ~ I was born into a believing family. The denomination is called Canadian Reformed Church . It is a Dutch Calvinistic Christian Church. My parents were Dutch immigrants to Canada in 1951. They had come from two slightly differing factions of the same Reformed faith in the Netherlands . Arriving unmarried in Canada they joined the slightly more conservative of the factions. It was a small group at first. Being far from Holland and strangers in a new country these young families found a strong bonding point in their church. Deutsch: Heidelberger Katechismus, Druck 1563 (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) I was born in 1955 the third of eventually 9 children. We lived in a small southern Ontario farming community of Fergus. Being young conservative and industrious the community of immigrants prospered. While they did mix and work in the community almost all of the social bonding was within the church group. Being of the first generation born here we had a foot in two

Morality is not a Good Argument for Christianity

By austinrohm ~ I wrote this article as I was deconverting in my own head: I never talked with anyone about it, but it was a letter I wrote as if I was writing to all the Christians in my life who constantly brought up how morality was the best argument for Christianity. No Christian has read this so far, but it is written from the point of view of a frustrated closeted atheist whose only outlet was organizing his thoughts on the keyboard. A common phrase used with non-Christians is: “Well without God, there isn’t a foundation of morality. If God is not real, then you could go around killing and raping.” There are a few things which must be addressed. 1. Show me objective morality. Define it and show me an example. Different Christians have different moral standards depending on how they interpret the Bible. Often times, they will just find what they believe, then go back into scripture and find a way to validate it. Conversely, many feel a particular action is not
