Actually you would be quite surprised as I was pleasantly surprised by the good many number complementary e-mails that I received during this discussion completing me on my conduct, whit, insightful responses, and my charitable demeanor in the face of bullying opposition. Those who share your views on me and my response are surprisingly in the minority.

LOL. You certainly have no shortage of imaginary friends - that much has always been obvious.

Instead of saving the people they raped or killed? Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.

BTW, Hitler was a xtian.

No my academically naive friend. Your guy Hitler used your guy Nietzche to rationalize his evil doing.

Hitler rejected his Lutherean faith and became an athiest like you. Doing what athiest do best.

Remember it was books like "Beyond Good and Evil" (a Motors favorite)that gave the idea to kill millions Jews. He wasn't reading the book of Galatians if so he wouldn't did the evils that he did!

And as far as the few Christians who do murder people. yeah that does happen Christians sin too but they unlike you because of the grace of God who moves in thier hearts to repentance.

Motors your heart is cold and hard like that athiest Hitler!

You're far closer to Hitler than I will ever be. You're the one who, given the chance, would probably exterminate everyone who doesn't agree with you. You won't see me at any of your god-approved anti-gay rallies. The only thing I hate is ignorance and even still, I wouldn't want you exterminated. Interesting how you project .....

[Quite Life]

Not imaginary friends Motors, very real and encouraging. I just have the discretion not to name drop my friends.

[i_like_lectric_motors]

Sure dude, I believe you. Really, I do. [;)]

First thing I would never have you exterminated. Remember it is God who serves up the wicked not man. My hope is that you would do well in life and prosper, so that upon hearing the gospel you would believe and give glory to God who is so providentially good to you Motors.


If I were a betting man, and sometime I am. I would bet on the fact that you would want to wipe out and kill all bible believing Christians. The bible says that you are the seed of the devil and the devil’s children will always want to kill God’s children every time. My call is to share the gospel with you so that someday you may become one of us. In a sense I guess that is killing you off that is killing off your old nature of unbelief. Rest assured one thing, if there was a gun in the room and it was just the two of us, I can grantee that you would use that gun to kill me and other Christian brothers and sisters (like Cain killed Able) because you would like to see us Christians dead!!! That is the nature of unbelief.

John 15:18-19 (NASB)
18"If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you.
19"If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you.

Gee, thanks! And I wish the best for you as well. It's just that I feel that a life free of superstition and subservience is the best. [:)]

Sorry, you'd lose. I wouldn't kill anyone. Build you your own planet to ruin maybe .....

BTW, what does your rulebook say about gambling? I can't believe god would approve unless it's bingo.

[Quite Life]

Dude there are tons of atheist that are superstitious if we hung out I would spot a few.

As far as gambling it is a Christian liberty thing. We do have liberty to do fun things as long as they don’t dominate or damage our lives. I have no problem in dropping $50 on a football game as long as it is well with in your means and you are not betting the rent money or taking food from the family table.

<br>One more thing Matthew 18 is a wonderful text and I do thank you for mentioning that. But it only works if your in “The Churchâ€￾. Question 2Nu, how do you apply verse 17 to those who are not a member of a church? Or one who goes to a church that doesn’t recognize your church as a Christian. That is if someone in the Southern Baptist Church or Evangelical Free Church would have a charge against lets say a member in the Mormon church, the Mormon would not recognize that charge because Mormonism sees these churched and all evangelical protestant churches as non-Christian (Just like Evangelicals don’t see Mormons as Christian the exclusion is mutual). How do you apply Matt. 18 in this case? How do you apply Matt. 18 to Muslims? Don’t Muslims have to cease being Muslims and confess Christ as the only truth and way (John 14:6) and be in the church according to the appeal in Matt 18:17? Please help me out here.

Sincerely yours,
QL

QL, It is not my intention to engage you in theological debate.
My reference to Matthew 18 was simply meant to touch on how people need to witness in a manner that intrigues and encourages others to join in the discussion rather than putting them on the defensive and tuning out your 'message'.

It is obvious that you are a man of unshakable moral convictions who is particularly well read on many salient aspects of Christian doctrine.
You have indeed made some valid points regarding inconsistencies within the ecumenical philosophies of various bible based churches which is worthy of further elucidation.

That having being said, it still leaves me in a position to come to YOU as a fellow Christian to call attention to what some of your pejorative statements were eliciting. Rather than spreading the 'good news', I instead, sense that you are calling others out to invoke shame upon them.

[b]1 Thessalonians 2:10-12[/b]
[i]10You are witnesses, and so is God, of how holy, righteous and blameless we were among you who believed. 11For you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children, 12encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory.[/i]

As stated previously, I need to set a tone of respect for all concerned.
Therefore, it would indeed be best that you (and others) take MM's suggestion to engage/debate one another via direct email correspondence.

Quite Life -

You're a twit. A crazy twit. A crazy, self-righteous twit. A crazy, self-righteous twit with a massive ego. A crazy, self-righteous twit with a massive ego and a truly fucked up image of "atheists". You try to equate Motors with Hitler because he doesn't believe in your lunacy. Your past posts indicate that you worship at the altar of Ann Coulter, George Bush, and the Republican Party, which are all false idols if you're smart enough to understand the bible. You promote guns and violence which indicates you have a massive lack of faith in your own god's ability to mete out justice. You're a total loon. A huge ball of contradiction. Yikes.

Why do I share a county with you?

Can I have your Pinto when the rapture comes?

You still thinking about guys in butless chaps from the Gay Pride parade?

When is the meteor passing by that takes you and the rest of the Koool-Aid nuts away?

Can you please get a vasectomy? I can't bear to imagine you spreading your loony beliefs to another generation.

Does listening to music made by homosexuals indicate some kind of lack of moral fiber?

For a guy that reads as much as you do, why can't you spell?

So many questions...

Hahaha. David Sylvian is not ghey, but I thought there was something in the bible against wearing and using women's apparel[:X][:I][}:)]

[quote] Of the 3% of the population who claim to be atheist how many of them are in jail? Good chance that it will be more than 66% (2/3rds) rotting away in some jail cell for doing the atheist thing of lawlessness.[/quote] So much for intellectual discourse and honesty.

I'd say certain individuals here have their lines firmly drawn in the sand ... their circles definitely DO NOT intersect in the Great Venn Diagram of Belief![|)] How 'bout we take the personal ping pong match offline and stick to topic at hand without having to constantly call out specific memebers?
