I asked a Jehovah's Witness the same question. He said "The others are just cults" I said " But that's what they think you are" He said "Well, they're wrong"
Now you are sounding like the fat half naked chick on Jerry Springer who thinks every bodies disapproval is due to jealousy. Totally weak.
That fact is part of the problem. Believers convey the impression that more believers makes their belief more true. They fail to acknowledge that 100% of the people could believe in God and it wouldn't make it true that there was one. It doesn't matter if a majority believes in anything because belief alone doesn't make anything true. If you'd stand back and look at the big picture you'd see that it's theists that cope poorly with skepticism. They want you to simply believe as they do just because they say so. They think they are right and anyone that questions it is a heathen. For those of us that do question their unfounded beliefs this is offensive so they shouldn't complain if we respond in kind.
Denominations tend to distort/add to the original message. They are man-made. They add their own rules, beliefs, conditions etc.. We don't need denominations. We need to get back to the basics.Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
The majority of ancient Greeks believed in Zeus and the other gods. The majority of ancient Romans believed in Jupiter and the other gods. The majority of the population of earth believed that the earth was flat and that the sun revolved around the earth. We know all that stuff to be bullshit now. How did we find out that the earth was round and that the earth revolved around the sun? *cough cough...science...cough cough*
Which are recorded where? In which language? No opportunity for adding own bias / rules / beliefs / conditions? And who chose what was included in the Bible? No opportunity for adding own bias / rules / beliefs / conditions?
Maybe I'm wrong, I thought it was in the bible. As I don't feel like reading the bible back to front now, I will retract my statement.
God created the Universe, but I believe He then willed Himself out of existence for the non-believer. So, God then left no one to create the atheist.
Scientoligists are higher than atheists on your list. Isn't worshipping FALSE gods is worse than not worshipping anybody?
2 Peter 3:9. And i quote: "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." (taken from the KJV). Please explain how this is possible if he doesn't want everyone to believe in Him.
What a load of tripe ! It's difficult to be polite in the face of such crass stupidity. Do you ever think about what you say ? "..God willed himself out of existence ..." extra, extra, read all about it, god commits suicide. " God then left no one to create atheists " extra, extra. read all about it, atheists don't exist. They were never created. Christians rejoice!
