Name them and I bet there is more historical proof than many other religions are loosely based on. How would you know what she thought? Are clairvoyants on this site now? Lol. Let's be fair to Rayjena. I know what a shrinking violet is and Let's be fair to you. I find you offensive as well because for one, who are you to downplay the reference to a " shrinking violet doubled over in pain'? What a joke. I would honestly think that both of you would have a little bit more respect for the One who created you, and has the last say on if you go to heaven or hell. Regardless of what you think or don't think, or ' think for someone else', or believe one certain fact remains for us all. Whether you stand in circles and break crosses, or kneel 5 times a day, or say a bunch of Hail Marys until your lips fall off , or worship a blank piece of paper, you as well as I will experience the first few moments of conscious existence after you take your last breaths and you will find yourself rising or falling. You will ask yourself " where am I?" Your body will feel the same, you will have your 5 senses but heightened feeling more alive than ever. You think you are a proud ego now...lets tune into you at this moment. Will you look back and wish maybe you could have given your Creator the same respect you give yourself? You clearly put yourself above God, or do not believe at all. Where ever did I assume that?? Do you capitalize your name? Why not His tile, or reference? It is God, and you do not appear to know Him at all. God does not have a wrathful temper tantrum when you do something " deemed" unChristian. What book have you been reading? God pours His wrath out on those who chose evil over good, those who mock Him and are arrogant, sinful and cruel. I merely created this thread to get people to ask themselves if they thought Jesus would want the Day they chose to celebrate His Holy Birth by lying to kids about Santa? Very few could do that and give themselves an honest answer. They wanted to accuse me of judging them, and justify what they do, and say it doesn't matter and whatever. It's WHATEVER! I did not ask the question on my own behalf because personally though I love everyone on here, how you celebrate Christmas is your business. It ultimately does not affect my life in any way except that if I had not asked it, the people who would have heard the message and repented but did not hear it so they didn't, would be on me- and I do not want to be responsible for that. I am not judging anyone- I will admit I am not the most tactful person, but I always mean well.
You find me to be offensive, well I find you to be rather sad. As I said before you really need to chill out because you are all over the place.
You say in one breath that Rayjeena and I are offensive and in the next breath say that you love everyone here. You sarcastically ask if people think they are clairvoyant, and then you become the clairvoyant by telling us how we will feel and think as we breathe our last.
As for what you call my lack of respect, I am an atheist so therefore I don't believe in your god. I do respect a person's right to believe whatever they wish, but I am under no obligation to respect what they believe. Remember your own little dig at the Muslims and Catholics that you made in your post.
I have no problem with you or anyone else being critical about my lack of belief in their god, but I do have an issue with people like you whose attitude to me is, how dare I think what I think.
We both agreed that the idea of flying reindeer was nonsense, and I said that some people would say that some of the things Christians believed could also be considered nonsense, and now you have asked me to name one such thing.
That would be any one of the many supernatural events recorded in the bible such as walking on water, raising people from the dead, feeding thousands with a couple of loaves and a few fish. Then you have the Adam and Eve story and the Noah's ark tale.
Most religions have supernatural events and legendary tales in their CV and though they may be unbelievable to many, myself included, I just regard them as the rather strange unbelievable things that Christians think are true.
You say I have no respect for your god. Give me one good reason why I should respect a god that you believe ordered the slaughter of a nation and spared no one, not even children and infants. On reading your holy book, killing people en masse seems to be this god's favourite method of punishment.
Why would I want to respect a god like that?
