Yet ANOTHER thread on ...Atheist/Theists... :-O :-O

by Kudra in

i know that the atheists are pissed that the theists are always trying to convert them/condemn them to hell and the theists are tired of the atheists always trying to knock down their beliefs.... .

where the heck are you hanging out that theist/atheists are always haranguing you and trying to convert/deconvert you???

am i just missing the roving hoards of these two groups that are searching for the unsuspecting pedestrian or coffeeshop patron and then whammo -they try to convert them???

Debate is one thing. Bashing is another.

Ok ,What is The definition of God?

by blueviceroy in

many times on this forum i see the word "god" and i think " so many people have so many gods".

i would like to know how you define the word "god" .

i am not asking if you believe in one, so please don't hit me over the head with verses and things you've heard from others, just speak from self please .

Sorry Blue, I didn't intend to infer that you were Atheist, I guess I just blurted it out as a result of it being on my mind from another thread. Sorry, didn't mean/intend to offend you.

That's an interesting comment Blue, one for which I have much respect. Interestingly, God (Jehovah) said the very same thing two thousand years ago; "For God loved the world (mankind) so much that he gave his only begotten son as a ransom sacrifice". I wonder....if we're so full of love as God is, could we give a life that we loved as a sacrifice to pay for the sin of others?

Who'll be the first to stand and say, I'll give my life so that others may live? Yes, Blue, you have much love, but it cannot be compared to Jehovah's love.

As a side question; If you're an Atheist, why would you celebrate Christmas? Maybe Atheist's don't? Just asking cuz' I honestly don't know the answer to that question.

Did You Feel That Jehovah Blessed or Punished You?

by minimus in

were you one of those witnesses that believed anything good that happened was because jehovah god was blessing you and when something bad happened, it was evidence of "no blessings"??

?

BlackPearl

Yes, definately have/had Jehovah's blessing
When something bad happened, I screwed up, not Jehovah

Glad he was there when I did screw up though. I've had prayers answered in ways that would make your hair stand on end. They weren't those, "must have been a coinidence" things either, there is no doubt these helps were from the "hand of God".
