I challenge all Protestants

[znr]

to repent.

Additional challenges, a partial list. Feel free to add your own.
​

Of course first and foremost I want to challenge all Atheists to believe in God by the time they finish reading this sentence. Come on, I know you can do it.

More challenges:

Anyone involved in any religion that requires ritualistic kneeling, sitting and standing, or genuflecting at an altar should consider speaking in tongues.

Charasmatics, discussion about visions and dream interpretations are off limits--instead, I challenge you to do community service at your local homeless shelter. Laying on of hands considered cheating unless it's to help someone in a practical way.

Agnostics, off the fence already. Pick an answer. How hard can it really be?

Calvinists...oh nevermind.

Methodists, time to get serious and recognize sin as sin.

Nihilists...Go outside and get some vitamin D. Your challenge is to visit a pentacostal church every wednesday for 3 months.

Word of Faith / Propsperity gospelers. Your challenge: Sell everything to the poor and then ask for no more.

Universalists, all gurus are off limits. You're allowed to pray for more, but your challenge: do it in the name of Jesus

(feel free to add your own)

All in fun, of course.

You make it sound as if believing something is a trivial choice. Like flipping a switch. Sorry, rational minds don't work that way.

Agnostics are not people "on the fence". Agnosticism pertains to knowledge, not to belief.

An agnostic is someone who is of the opinion that one cannot prove that gods exist or don't exist. That we cannot have that knowledge. That doesn't prevent them from believing one way or the other.

I am an agnostic atheist.
I say all people are agnostics. Theists too. Otherwise, you wouldn't call it "faith". If one could obtain knowledge about the existence of god(s), then one would not require faith to believe he/they exist.

I was just having a little fun in the spirit of some of recent challenge threads. So you didn't chuckle at all?

Believers, go to your bathroom, set out a martini and a half smoked cigarette, turn out the lights, look into the mirror and say "Christopher Hitchens" three times...

 

[pyramid33]

Agnostics are not people

Now that's funny.

Worship of men is so against truth. Hope you catch on.

 

[znr]

I laughed out loud.

I'm a monist.

Deal with it.

OK - but it all right to worship women - using certain rituals? I'm hoping so.

That's hilarious. Milk came out of my nose. That impression is spot on!

If you weren't drinking milk at the time better see a doctor.

Doing it wrong, has to be Johnnie Walker Black mixed with Perrier

All the Brethren ladies, let your hair down (er)

 

[JGL53]

What is the name of your god?

What's in a name? "Name" is like "person" - it is a mask that has no substantiality.

Let's just say that I have a realization that god's center is everywhere and god's circumference is nowhere.

Unless your god is my god then my god is bigger than your god.

If any of this is over your head, or sounds like nonsense, then I suggest you start doing less believing and more thinking. It won't hurt your brain. Honest.

So, your god has no name. How do you call him?
If a center is everywhere, then is there a "center" of the center?
What's in the center of your god?

Hey, don't get excited. I respect your god. I just want to know more about him.
