Anonymous Coward User ID: 36874452 United States 04/14/2013 05:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Almost every athiest in the western world was a christian or jew turned athiest. I grew up catholic and am now an athiest and most of my friends grew up christian and become athiests around the end of high school or start of college. An educated man needs some tangible evidence and since there is none we move on to more important things in life. I respect your beliefs but come on are you actually saying no believers ever become athiests? |

Also, way to fail to push "play" on the whole point of this video guys. You have to listen to the vid. A Christians is defined as someone who hears his voice and FOLLOWS Him. No one was even called "Christians" until Antioch. No real Christian turns atheist. |

Christians are SUCH utter fuckheads. |

Sorry. it does not mean u were a Christ follower. it's a matter of the heart. Not if you go to a building on Sundays and go through a ritual. Everyone has to agree that's ridiculous and a concoction of men. |

Yes, a Christian could say that (what you mention above) to try to "win" an argument. But what about the ACTUAL truth of those that are beleivers. Isn't it telling that there are none of these types out there? Where's the throngs of people who can they were totally learning and walking as adults as Jesus, following commandments. Trying. But then said no, it sucks. I'm out. Shouldn't there be many example others than some catholics who worship a guy who sits on a gold throne? |

It's a fair question. How come there aren't more people who really followed His Word. Maybe they didn't even go to church maybe they did who cares. I'm talking about those that did the research to see how this fit into science, history and geology maybe. Then said "no the bible isn't real. i'm going to believe in nothing supernatural, all just by chance" Where is this huge demographic at? Not on GLP. just a few stragglers who say they went to a building back in the day for a little while. Not a Jesus believer. It should be massive numbers if what the atheist say is true. Yet it's not. Isn't that a bit of a mystery? |

(OP) User ID: 1278834 United States 04/14/2013 05:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Correct me if I'm wrong, OP, but the assertion boils down to this: Quoting: Anonymous Coward 8788578 "Jesus is validated by our conclusion that those who fell away were not really following Him." ? Yikes. No, the question of Jesus being validated is not in question. The simple question is how come those that did try to understand His message. (I'm talking truly tried without ego etc) never go back? It's about this group. It's about the atheist or non believer who has come from real learning or some period of time in walking. This number, doesn't seem to exist. That's the emphasis. |

The internet is full of ex-Christians who tossed the whole thing out, but you're disqualifying them from your proposition by judging that they weren't truly following Christ. Is it really "full of them" or is it just a few stragglers who say they went to a building back in the day for a little while? If your premise is true then how come this crazy community isn't full of them? This is a fair question (?) |

Who could disagree with you? Religion is a pathetic mess. No Christian would I don't think. But after all that it still comes down to something has to be right. All can not be. "Mutual exclusivity" Since you are of high I.Q. you do see the genius behind the smoke screen and confusion of religion right. It was by design for this very effect. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 4184140 Funny how no one ever tests with good sources on archeology, and history. Never has it contradicted the bible. not once. The point of the bible was not to explain science principles people. Just a document for something to go by in this crazy life. |

There are not that many "Christians" to begin with. Nothing like the old No True Scotsman argument. . |

Living without fear was too much for ya eh? So you HAD to return to what you knew. because... One thing all christians have in common is 1)FEAR..they fear demons..they fear hell..they fear god..the fear sin..they fear sinning. Their whole lives DWELL on and IN and THROUGH FEAR. Get them together in large groups and the fear FEEDS of itself. 2)WEAKNESS. They NEED to hang around others like themselves so as not to give in to their SELF confessed "WEAKNESSES". Its all about BEING weak. The weaker you are the HOLIER you are. They THRIVE on weakness. They make millions from it. They sell books to "Strenghten" the weak knees. Its all about being utter and total WUSSES. 3)SICKNESS. Its their favourite hobby. You want to see SICK UNHEALED SUFFERING PEOEPLE..go to a church. They CLAMOUR for healing for all their "SICKNESSES"..of the mind..of the body..of the soul..its ALL based around being SICK and WEAK and CONSTANTLY in FEAR. TRY it..go to almost any church for at least three weeks in a row so you can get the gist of what they are on about..what they say and think and do when they are together...what the sermons are always about besides MONEY. TRY it..and see SICKNESS and WEAKNESS and FEAR..in all its glory. |

Instead of the pagan holidays I was keeping, I now keep the festivals of Lev. 23. I've been miraculously healed a few times. Technically I shouldn't be alive but I am. I've had visions that saved my life a few times over. Didn't have those when I was a Sunday keeper, pagan holiday keeper. vaccinefreehealth blogspot com The risk far outweighs any benefit as the risk will vary from child to child. facebook.com/graphixyourway |
