Your ability to repent and to be forgiven. Once your dead your dead. You don’t have the choice to go back. You’ve made the decision in your life to reject God in this life, which is your choice you have the free will to choice that but you yourself have chosen that path. All God’s asks for is your heart. In all honesty when you are with God your life becomes so much alive then it could ever be.
Yes sir. It’s interesting when one reads the bible and comes to a different conclusion.
Well I live in America now but I immigrated here from the former Soviet Union.
If it’s not going to work, as you’ve asserted, why bother? My worth? Really? Yet your god would punish me because s/he has refused to reveal him/herself to me in a way I can understand?
Sir? That’s quite an assumption!
God doesn’t punish that’s a common misconception. You have chosen not to seek him out. It say Jesus stands and knocks on door. He is speaking to you weather you are aware of that or not.
You’re probably referring to the short film HAIL SATAN? Lucian Greeves is the founder and legal counsel for TST if I remember correctly. He has some very valid points about organized religion, and he decided to start one of his own.
I’ve been a member for a few years.
It’s not verifiable, it is hearsay bullshit. Show me something that verifies the Bible is true from OUTSIDE the Bible. There is nothing. I’ll wait for evidence.
So what qualifies you as more of an expert than me? You want to speak for other people which shows your narrow minded view. Even if this god existed, so you speak for him? That is heretical in and of itself by your bullshit religion. So guess I’ll see you in the pit then. You arrogant fool. You can’t even comprehend your own doctrine. You try to use it for your own ends tsk tsk.
Above is another video that better explores the point that Satanism is becoming a beacon of justice, equality, peace, and tolerance.
If anyone on this forum is a theist, then please watch it. This young man is more articulate than I could ever be.
There are no eyewitness accounts, your bible is a collection of stories written by Bronze Age sheepherders. What percentage of the population in that part of the world could read or write?
Christopher Hitchens stated it better than I ever could. If human beings have been around for close to 200,000 years, where was your god during the first 198,000 years? He only began to take an interest in his greatest creation during the past 2000+ years?
Your god/gods are fucking man-made creations, nothing more or less.
That’s just fucking great, we still haven’t seen any weather even resembling Springtime yet, now we know who to blame.
No thanks, it’s your claim, present some objective evidence or reasoned rational argument for it. I don’t mind people citing videos when apropos, but you have offered nothing so far but bombast and bare claims.
Ok so that explains all the responses, posting the same video link in three consecutive posts is spamming, and that’s against forum rules.
Actually the US constitution was originally created to keep religion out of schools and public life, so you’re misrepresenting this from the start.
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” It’s right there in the 1st amendment.
So are the Harry Potter books to many, this doesn’t make wizardry real.
Well that didn’t take long, from unevidenced superstition to hate speech in less that half a dozen posts. It’s also a bare faced lie of course, no one is forcing anything into your home, religious bigotry and homophobia is a product of ignorance and superstition, derived from an era where even the most well educated were by any contemporary standard extremely ignorant, and superstitious. Patriarchal Bedouins…
In every one of your posts it seems. Since all you are offering is subjective superstitious claims, and bigoted hate speech.
I imagine that was true of Mein Kampf for many Nazis, what’s your point?
What objective evidence can you demonstrate to support this bizarre belief?
I don’t believe you, but even if you could offer something beyond the bare unevidenced assertion here, all you would have is an inexplicable event, and that doesn’t evidence anything supernatural.
Wow, that’s an irony overload right there, along with that random capital S.
It’s your claim and your belief, no one need refute bare subjective unevidenced claims. You’re using an argumentum ad ignorantiam fallacy.
Or even in the bible come to that.
That’s a no true Scotsman fallacy, classic example, it may be a poisoning of the well fallacy as well.
Well you arrange this for us, and then you will see your claim is bullshit.
No, so what? Have you ever asked the Aztec deity of gluttony for salvation, or Thor, Zeus or Apollo? Physician heal thyself.
No they’re not, not one of them is contemporary, the earliest gospel dates to between 60 - 70 AD, and all 4 gospels of Mathew Mark Luke and John are anonymous writings, the names are fictional, and were assigned over three hundred years later at the First Council of Nicaea. Go educate yourself please, as showing such a woeful understanding of the origins of your own religions just speaks volumes.
That’s risible nonsense, even for events prior to this period that’s not true. In all of human history that is a spectacularly stupid claim. How about the second world war, are you saying this is less well documented than the anonymous hearsay of the gospels? Wow!
Oh dear I’m not sure what is more disconcerting here, the appalling grammar or the mangled parroting of Pascal’s wager. You first have to demonstrate that there it is possible for anything to “happen to me” after I die, then that you would need to demonstrate a causal link, Pascal’s wager is deeply flawed reasoning, and if you’re going to peddle unevidenced superstition then you will need better bait than this.
I am as worried by this vapid threat as I am about being dragged to a watery grave by a nefarious mermaid, and for the same reason.
The same as using Harry Potter for evidence of wizardry, do you think Harry Potter and Wizardry are real? how about the Koran, or the Bhagavad Gita, or how about the Legends of Hercules? All you are offering is a subjective unevidenced belief, so why would I believe yours over all the others?
Your is a possessive pronoun, not an abbreviation of you are, and yes all the evidence indicates that once my brain dies my consciousness dies with it, but please demonstrate some objective evidence that this is not the case?
Nope, I disbelieve in any deity or deities, I only reject claims, and you disbelieve as many of the thousands of deities humans have imagined are real as I do, with just one exception, so what objective evidence is that based on?
That’s not what you said earlier?
So which is it?
Oh ffs, really? Weather is the state of the atmosphere at a particular place and time as regards heat, cloudiness, dryness, sunshine, wind, rain, etc.
@skriten He’s right, you fowl-mouth bastard. Stop fucking cussing in here. Makes you look like a feathered asshole.
@sprinterforchrist Please forgive Skrit. He knows not what he does. If he keeps giving you any shit, just let me know. I’ll just threaten to clip his wings. That usually settles his ass down.
The “no true Scotsman” philosophy huh. You’ve lost all of the time that you spend deceiving yourself that any of this bullshit is even remotely true.
You are looking the God through the lens of Bible only. Try to look it through the lens of other religions and that is gonna change you forever if you want to know the truth.
…(cough-cough… sputter-gag-cough)… DAMMIT, YOU ASSHOLE! A little warning next time, please! I damn near choked to death on a jalapeno popper!
Well of course you are entitled to your own fucked-up opinion. Frankly I am incapable of giving even one shit what you think about swearing. I am however, concerned about your clearly compromised mental state. If you are being honest (which I highly doubt)when you say “I immigrated here from the former Soviet Union”, that would explain a lot about your inability to recognize the plethora of logical fallacies you employ in your facile rambling.
Of course my fucking swearing is bothering your ass more than the fact that you cannot demonstrate that anyone has EVER risen from the dead. ( except in movies)…
Wait! …that’s it! You think this is a mother-fucking movie!! Well I’ll be God-damned!!
This is no movie!!! This is real! (Actually this IS the last reel of a vintage motion picture entitled The Last Temptation of Skriten where the protagonist is tempted by a lunatic to abandon all reason and embrace fairy tales)
Edit (I sure hope they haven’t run out of popcorn)
Yep, ZOMBIE JESUS……
Uh, last time I checked, or rather, the last time somebody else checked, it was feathered, thank you very much!
Edit to preen my boa
