Jesus Freaks...why do you believe?

[Juan_Bottom]

I like how it's all about "feeling" and "Believing." Just faith.

[MeDeFe]

The government wants to keep you from being religious? That's a new take on the issue.

[Neoteny]

Jesus is coming! He's coming! He's coming, oh Jesus!

[Juan_Bottom]

Jesus spelled backwards IS pronounced "sausage." Allah is pronounced "Holla." God is obviously pronounce "Dog." and Buddah is an Excursion loving fellow, "A DUB."
This is fun...

He isn't here.... and you're not getting in his clan anyway....... and God made you this way..... so who is ELK to say "no" to you...... that's like saying "no" to God........ so that would make ELK like the Devil........... and so OMG

Through my superior Tavern-like thought process I have deducted that ELK:
IS FOR CERTAIN SATAN!!!!!!!



Certainly no one can find fault with this train of thought, it's all too logical!!!!!!!!!!! ELKS HAVE ANTLERS PEOPLE..... ANTLERS ARE HORNS<<<<THE DEVIL HAS HORNS>>>>>HOOVES, the Devil has hooves too!!!!!!!!!!

OMG IM A BORN AGAIN TAVERNER! I MUST RESCUE EVERYONE FROM SATAN!

You are the Way, the Truth and the Light. We live by Faith and not by Sight.

Sums it up, y'know.

I just tried to find the bathroom by sheer faith.

It hurt.

[Juan_Bottom]

That's because you don't have enough faith.

[2dimes]

Because of this kind of thing.

[InkL0sed]

If those are natural, I see your point.

[Snorri1234]

They are indeed very pointy.

[2dimes]

Doesn't matter to me if he made them like that or granted us the medical capabilities to agment them.

[jonesthecurl]

That's because you don't have enough faith.

or maybe not enough bathrooms.

2. If God is all powerful then why doesn't he just show himself to everyone?

Well, if you take the bible to be at least reasonbly true (which all Christians would need to do), the last time he showed himself we nailed him to a cross ... so you can't really blame the dude, can you? I'd not go anywhere where I thought people might want to nail me to another object ...

3. Since Christians believe in free will, then why do they constantly want to legislate morality? Shouldn't people be free to do pretty much what they want as long as it conforms to the law or aren't killing anyone?

Well yes - see Adam. God's evidently quite up for the whole free will carry on, stopping people doing stuff seems a little hypocritical (as god himself has turned out to be later on in the bible)


I mean - I'm an atheist , but if you believed in god then those questions would be pretty easily answered. And I know that what I consider to be evidence of existance is much stricter than what your average god botherer considers to be evidence (ie the word of bible), so the questions I could raise can't really be answered - I mean, it'd be unfair to ask in a way, because I can't accept an answer that they would see as a given.

Well, he disguised himself as your average Joe of the time, walked around in a dress and stirred up trouble for the ruling Romans, you didn't need to be omniscient to guess what the outcome would be. If he doesn't want to get down here in person he could send a talking Raptor to deliver the message to every human at once or something, I think that could qualify as "miraculous".

Also, even his believers put up crosses with him on it literally everywhere. I don't think he'd like to see another cross ever.

Jesus: Thirty-three effin years I spent down there, and what do they remember?
Nailing me to a bit of wood. Nailing a carpenter to a bit of wood, fer mysakes.
Then they pee on me and call it art!

I mean, you give 'em free bread, fish, wine, philly cheesesteaks (I think they lost the records of the last one) and
what do they remember? the last three days.

[Snorri1234]

Yeah what kind of retarded PR does the christian church have? The absolutely worst time in jesus' life and it has to be about that all the time. He did all this awesome shit like miracles and teaching how swell it is to be nice to eachother and what logo does the church use? Him fucking dying on a cross because of it!

Seriously, it basically tells you that you really shouldn't do what he did because it will end shit for you.

Now you mention it for an omniscient superbeing he's a bit naive ... I mean, if I was omniscient I certainly wouldn't be going round waiting for people to nail me to a bit of wood. You'd know they were coming well in advance - why not run away? It's not rocket science. [not that he should have a problem with that anyway, what with him being omnipotent and everything]
