For a small fee I will take all of your sins to Hell with me when I die, and I will even let you decide how much you pay me for each sin, what do you think? let me take the wrap, after all what have you got to lose?
for each mistake I make? lol. that really doesn't do me any good.

-The concept of "sin" holds no value to me.
-Even if it did, I see little reason why sins could be passed on to others, either in the case of payment or sacrifice. Such a system is broken.

Let me throw you back a few questions. You need not reply to just think about them.

1) Would my life be complete if I throw religion out the window?
Obviously not, you seem to need your religion, I have never had religion so I am not really the one to ask.
2) Is your life complete now? Nothing lacking? Your reason of being fully satisfy yourself?
As far as it goes yes, no more than most, fully satisfied? should I try and fool myself into thinking there is a God floating around somewhere in order to be fully satisfied? what good would that do?
3) Have you ever deep within asking things to go your way knowing for sure they will never? Have you ever hope against all odds?
If I have I'm sure talking to myself would not have helped, if I can change things I do, if I can't I don't worry about them, all the faith in the world will change nothing, I have dreamed yes, I have wanted something so bad I could taste it,
but wanting something and convincing yourself that there is something out there that can help you get it just by believing in it is just sad.

4) Have you find yourself self-comforting after being defeated? Isn't it foolish to comfort yourself when you should spend that time to learn the mistakes and give it a go again?
Yes it is.

Your God is in your mind, if it helps you then keep your God, just don't let it rule your life.
Thinking positive and not negative will help you just as much as a God.

I guess it's because they believe something that I think only someone who is either ignorant, brainwashed or desperate would even consider believing.

What would you think was wrong with me if I said that Santa Claus (or any mythical being) was real and that he speaks to me and I can feel his presence?


Well you're entitled to your opinion, but there are many religious people who spent their entire lives and put a lot of thought into why they believe what they believe. Not all religious people are desperate, perhaps they need religion for moral guidance (and yes I'm well aware that people don't need religion to be moral) but some feel it is needed.

Though it's probably something you won't understand.

And as for your OP, why do bother asking since you don't seem to believe in the concept of sin nor in Hell? :confused:

On that point you're right.

I have been warned about speaking my mind and saying things that religious people might not want to hear,
I will change this OP from me to a church, if a church offered to take away your sins for money would you pay?

Yes it is.

Thinking positive and not negative will help you just as much as a God.

Then I hope in all that you said comes from your honest heart. No one will know if you truly meant it besides yourself. I'll take your word for it.

How I see it now maybe I should acknowledge you're superior to most religious people. Make the most out of your life then.

Then why do you ask if anyone is interested in you taking their sins/bad karmas? Obviously you don't believe in any of it. Your offer seems sarcastic and to a lesser degree insulting (not that we don't already know about it in the first place). :)

Despite what you think about us we are not retarded, gullible or "dysfunctional members of society" (I read the last one from undoJesus.org). We don't have blind faith. We all know about the "incorrectness" of our Scriptures.

no, this is great, but I need to know the offered terms for this shipment of sin: FOB earth? you pay cost of transport, insurance, unloading, and transportation from the arrival port to the final destination in Hell.

deal????

don't flake out.

I meant it.

I am superior to no one in fact I'm inferior to most.

It was written tongue in cheek, we all know there are gullable people out there but even they wouldn't fall for that.
Despite what you think about us we are not retarded, gullible or "dysfunctional members of society" (I read the last one from undoJesus.org). We don't have blind faith. We all know about the "incorrectness" of our Scriptures.
Yet you still put that to one side and believe in them anyway???

If you seriously want to undo religion I can recommend other sites which are better. Drop me a message in my inbox.
I do not want to 'undo' religions all I would like to do is reduce some of the damage they do in this world because I believe they do more damage than good, and to my mind all for nothing, but that's just wishful thinking, it would take a government to do something like that over a long period of time, but they won't because it's in their interests not to.

You still haven't answered my question as to why you think you need religion.

the same way I know there are no .. Dog Gods
Anubis and Wepwawet would beg to differ! :p

As for the rest of the thread? I don't share the Christian concept of sin, nor do I believe in hell, so I'll pass on your offer... I'm sure we could work out a deal where you do my dishes now and I'll pay you later, though. ;)

I don't need religion. Theologically I need God. But in the interest of all I use religion as a cover term for God.

Simple - I need His grace and teachings.

For the brief period in my life that I was an atheist I was a useless person (I don't mean atheists are useless just myself cause people tend to misread my intentions). I was full of anger, hatred and everything a man shouldn't be. I was wasting my life away. One day God called me back everything started to fall back in place. Thats my reason.
