Athanasian Creed said:Doesn't the Person of Jesus, His teachings, His miracles, His love compel you to at least "give Him a try" ?? After all, that's essentially what Christianity is all about - JESUS, JESUS, JESUS !!!
I pray God gives you not only the desire but the courage to come to the One who is "the Way, the Truth and the Life." (John 14:6)

Poor answer. What scares me is not that YOU would do it. But that you would probably stand idly by and watch it happen.Linux98 said:I don't know what they propose because I never pay attention to them. I am a conservative Christian and I don't give either of those guys 5 minutes of my day. I don't like them or dislike them, I simply have not made them a part of my life because I have to work in the real world. I don't line my closet with tinfoil to keep out the secret alien radio waves, I don't place newspaper clippings on my walls about the shooter on the grassy knoll, but I do go to work and eat at McDonald's during lunch.
I am the regular conservative Christian who earns income, pays taxes and votes. And the simple fact of the matter is that I don't have the time or inclination to put you in a concentration camp. Trust me, I would rather spend my time in Hawaii or Lake Tahoe than nailing barbed wire to a fence post.

Carico said:I'm here! Which garbage? you mean the garbage that humans have produced humans since the beginning of recorded history? Or the garbage that apes have been breeding apes? So when was the last time you saw anything other than an ape coming from an ape or a human coming from a human except in your imagination?
Carico said:And who has witnessed a completely new species coming out of an animal?
Setters are still setters. Chihuahuas are still chihuahuas. I've never seen a Great Dane come out of a chihuahua! have you?
Dark_Lite said:While it may be frustrating at times, do not let it get to you. I will not lash out at all Ásatrú people I see just because the fanatics are extremely violent and racist.
Northern Christian said:I doubt that Creationists did anything to damage the image of Christ ever. For 1900 only Creationists were Christians and vice versa. Then Darwin made his theory and people started turning on the Bible. And look where it got us. World Wars, diseases, pain, and social discord.
Linux98 said:What is that these Creationist Christians do that makes you so emotional? You used the words "hate" and "contempt." Are those feelings justified?
Linux98 said:If I were an atheist I wouldn't care a wit about what Christians did or taught in their churches. It sounds as though you have assigned yourself a mission to make everyone as smart and as honest as you. If I were to take a guess I would say that the source of your frustration is your personal expectation about how other people should think and act.

Matthew777 said:Pre-Christian German spirituality? I've heard that Hitler was into that, not that it means anything related to your situation.
Matthew777 said:As far as young earth creationism, it is seperate from true Christianity if not mutually exclusive.
LAWise520 said:Tocis, you are quite right in all that you say and I hope that the many Christians who act this way would see that this is not right and not the way of Christ...we all need to be more like Christ whether or not we believe in him...he was still a man who loved everyone....and that is what this world needs.
Ledifni said:Hold on. If they believe it's better to believe in God even if it's not true -- then why are they still atheists?
Matthew777 said:You seem to either be denying Hitler's obessesion with paganism and the occult or are just displaying ignorance of it.
And-U-Say said:Poor answer. What scares me is not that YOU would do it. But that you would probably stand idly by and watch it happen.
Sorry, but I live in the real world as well. No tinfoil, no clippings, no grassy knoll. History is an especially interesting hobby to me . I have two full bookcases of various history books. I know what can happen.
tocis said:As I wrote, I try to not get overwhelmed by my negative emotions. But it doesn't get easier with willfully ignorant people like carico babbling the same old nonsense yet again...
Linux98 said:Do you have your eye on any other groups, or is it just the Christians that scare you?
Halruaa said:To be honest, from my own personal experiences, i've only been scared by christians. The most memorable experience happened years ago, when I was back in high school, one day upon ariving to the campus there was a pack of "religious" people standing across the street protesting homosexuals. I have no idea why they were there, they were only there for that one day, but they were there holding signs that had such Jesus loving phrases as: "God hates (insert bad homosexual term here)", and "(insert bad homosexual term here)'s will rot in hell".
Needless to say, that one incident has forever changed my view of christians. To be honest, I know it's silly of me to judge all by what these few did, but then I came here and saw so much of that same ignorant anti-homosexual nonsense. In my mind, it has heightened the sterotype image of a "loving christian" image that has been burned into my mind on that day.
Im not homosexual, im straight. But to see such vile hatred coming from people who supposedly follow Christ, just make's me sick. To make the problem worse, I see nuts like Heidi(christianforums.net) and other select individuals who will not hesitate to say horrible things about other religions and their people. They will use the bible as their support, to use the good book to spread hatred is pathetic.
