Introduction -
05-28-2016, 04:19 PM
Hi there, this is my introduction with a little info about myself.
I am an atheist from Britain. I love science and researching it in any way I can as well as writing about topics like chemistry, space, genetics and evolution. Though you say an atheist sees no beauty, this could not be more false. I love nature and animals (especially dogs and aquatic life) as well as nature walks etc and visiting the beach. I have also written essays on atheism. I am also a liberal and support the libdems in politics. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family and girlfriend as well as sports like Cricket and running (very slowly) to try and get back in shape.
I am in this forum as I am trying to understand the beliefs of fundamentalist Christians but feel free to pose me any questions about my (lack of) beliefs, but please don't be rude just for the purpose of being rude as that acheives nothing for anyone.
Oh and I also hate Donald Trump

I agree with you, besides the talk about atheism and evolution. Welcome to the magical land of Landover Baptist Church, where you will most likely be thrown out like me. They don't respect anyone of other nations, races, or religion. I'm a white American, but I'm Catholic, and I guess they hate me for that. Don't give them a bad first impression, it's a mistake I made. I suggest you take down this post before they yell at you for being a British atheist (which I find nothing wrong with, it's not your choosing to be British, and atheism is just your way of seeing the world) I'll pray for you, I hope God gives you a second chance

I thought you were supposed to be Catholic...?
Your pope loves atheists and your church approves of evolution (and it has for the last three or four popes, but I'm too busy to dig up the source for that) why don't you?

Please don't shoot the messenger, sweetie. Take your complaints directly to God - it is His Holy Word that compels us to be like that.

Oh, and hello, Goldenshark. I hope you can be a civilized atheist who has actually read the Holy Bible and can contribute constructively to our praises of Jesus.

Thank you Comatoserocker for your welcome. I have no problem with people of other faiths as long as it does not hurt anyone else, and by the looks of this forum fundamentalism hurts a lot of people. Many thanks again for your welcome and have a nice day.

Mr Shark, you are clearly and by your own admission, without duress, an Englishman. We have had many of your kind here over the years. The profile you have is provided is exactly the same as nearly every other godless Englishman we have seen here, except that you claim to be heterosexual. We are given to understand that most Englishmen are homosexuals now. I will give you the benefit of the doubt and accept your somewhat suspicious claim. As to your other qualities, let us just point to the position of the English vis a vie the rest of the more civilized world, with your 21st Century godless heathens, as opposed to your place in the world 100 years ago. Quite the change you communist wretches have wrought, eh? If you think that is a drastic change, just wait till you get to Hell.

Welcome to our Godly forum Goldenshark - the Holy Spirit has guided many from Britain here in the last few years. Given the direction of your country many are converting to the True Christian™ Faith of the Landover Baptist Church and are applying for immigration to Freehold to escape.
Being an atheist you will quickly see the light once the mooselimbs start their beheadings and stoning - to say nothing about the imminent decline in property values that your "libdems" and their "multiculturalism" have brought about. Sunday mornings here are peaceful as we praise Jesus and give thanks for Donald Trump's mooselimb cleansing policies.
Hell's foundations quiver at the shout of praise;
brothers, lift your voices, loud your anthems raise.
...and get off my lawn

Hello Comatoserocker.
You have to click the words that are underlined that will take you to a webpage that says what she is talking about it is called a hyperlink do not feel bad I had to have it explained to me also.
Thank you.

What, are Catholics too retarded to click on links? Surely you got the Vatican memo on this, or whatever it is that your silly little cult uses to transmit the word of the pope to the ears of the cultists.
Or was your priest too busy sodomizing little boys to deliver the message that day?

So, you just assumed I didn't click the links? Because I did. You don't need to be rude about it (I'm not talking to Rusty, he was actually very kindly when he replied to me) Unlike Des, who was extremely rude and disrespectful to my faith. I respect that you're baptist, can't you just accept that I'm Catholic? At least I'm not pagan or atheist (don't get started on that Mary/pope worshipper nonsense [MYTHOLOGICAL, SUPERSTITIOUS CLAP-TRAP REMOVED BY MODERATOR] But I believe in God (so I'm not atheist) and I don't worship anything else (so I'm not pagan) I suppose it's possible that some other Catholics worship Mary or the pope, but I know I don't.

Hello Comatoserocker.
Catholics say they do not worship Mary but they venerate her and ask her to do things and pray to her but none of that is supported by Scripture one True Christian™ here called her nothing more than an E-Z-Bake Oven that is a toy that cooks tiny cakes with a lightbulb I thought that was funny.
Thank you.

Now wait just a minute. You claim to be a catholic, but catholics have something called the dogma of papal infallibility in which your cult pretends the pope is the mouthpiece of God. Something about ex cathedra, or whatnot.
So, either a)you actually knew that the pope told you to accept evolution and thinks atheists are do-gooders, b) you are not being honest with us when you claim to be a catlicker, or 3) cathoholics are massive hypocrites in that they not only ignore what the Bible says, but also ignore what the person they pretend is the mouth of God says.
Which is it?

Read Matthew 16:18-19, that's where Jesus Himself makes Peter head of the church (aka the pope) So of Jesus chose the first pope, that means he should be the church head that Jesus wants. Now, papal infallibility doesn't mean the pope can't sin, it simply means he teaches what he's supposed to. That may not be what you believe, but it's what I choose to believe. I'd suppose that A is the most fitting answer, but it's not true completely. Look up a Catholic website about this to see it from our point of view if you really want to. This should answer yours as well as Rusty's question, because I found an amazing website with faq's about Catholicism. Before I post the link, I'm just saying there's no pressure for conversion or whatever. You can stick to being Baptist and I'll stick to Catholicism, but this pretty much justifies my religion: http://www.catholicscomehome.org/two-minute-answers/

I'll check your link just as soon as you quit evading my questions and actually answer them. For all I know, you are a Godmocking Anonymous member whose link will cause my computer to burst into flames.
Then again, you could be an Irish Catholic IRA terrorist whose link would cause my computer to burst into flames.

I did answer your question: "I'd suppose A is the most fitting answer..." I answered the only question you asked (just saying) But I'm not Irish and I'm not a terrorist, I'm just a regular American with a different religion. If your computer blows up, it ain't my fault.

Hello dear, and welcome to our friendly forums!
I too love science, and researching it in any way I can. As a homeschooling mother of many, I've spent many hours on the internet and have therefore learned almost as much about science as any Ph.D. in any field of the subject. As it is my duty to prepare my children for Heaven, not Harvard, I have also learned those things the scientific community would like most people to remain ignorant of. I pray you have an open mind and are willing to look at the evidence, no matter what it says.
You may be surprised to find how many scientific "discoveries" were recorded in God's Word from the very beginning. For example, did you know... - Scientists discovered that both man and woman possess the seed of life in the 17th century, but Moses wrote about it centuries before, in Genesis 3:15;
- It was discovered in 1650 that the earth is held in place by invisible forces, but this was first recorde in Job 26:7;
- It wasn't until the 19th century that man discovered blood is necessary for life, a fact written about in Leviticus 17:11;
- In 1854, man discovered oceans have natural paths in them, however we can read about it in Psalms 8:8);
- It wasn't until 1932 that man discovered light is a particle and has mass (a photon), something the Bible shared with mankind long ago (Job 38:19);
- Scientists discovered stars give off signals in 1945, but if they had read the Holy Bible, they would have read about it in Job 38:7, and could have saved themselves time;
- Scientists told the world in 1920 that oceans contain fresh water springs, but the Holy Word of God had long ago recorded that in Job 38:16;
- Dust is important to survival, we know because Jesus told us (Isaiah 40:12), but scientists didn't know how to corroborate that until 1935;
- Hubert Spencer's scientific principles were discovered in 1820, but written in the very first book of Genesis;
- It wasn't until the 17th century that scientists figured out that air has weight, something Bible Believing Christians had already known (Job 28:25);
- In 1650, man discovered light can be split up into component colors, another fact recorded in the Holy Bible first (Job 38:24);
- It wasn't until the 20th century that scientists discovered that matter is made up of invisible particles, but Paul wrote about it in his letter to the Romans (Romans 1:20);
- The water cycle was discovered by scientists in the 17th century, but had been recorded in the Word of God already in Ecclesiastes 1:7;
- Job 38:25 tells us lightning and thunder are related, but it took man 19 centuries after the birth of Christ to discover it.

Atheists don't understand civilized manners, and your intro is no exception. You see, it's generally considered rude to accuse someone of uncouth behavior simply by benefit of belonging to a particular group. As atheists are bigots and hostile against people of faith in general, I forgive you. You've no doubt been raised in a nation that has not taught you the love of Christ and the Gift of His temporary sacrifice. I pray you will read carefully and consider the Good News we have to share with you.

Hello, my name is Mary. I hope to fellowship with you! That is, unless you don't listen to church authority (Deuteronomy 17:12); are a witch (Exodus 22:17); are a homosexual (Leviticus 20:13; Romans 1:24-32); or fortuneteller (Leviticus 20:27) or a snotty kid who hits their dad (Exodus 21:15); or curses their parents (Proverbs 20:20; Leviticus 20:9); an adulterer (Leviticus 20:10); a non-Christian (Exodus 22:19; Deuteronomy 13:7-12; Deuteronomy 17:2-5;Romans 1:24-32); an atheist (2 Chronicles 15:12-13); or false prophet (Zechariah 13:3); from the town of one who worships another, false god (Deuteronomy 13:13-19); were a non-virgin bride (Deuteronomy 22:20-21); or blasphemer (Leviticus 24:10-16), as God calls for your execution and will no doubt send you to Hell, and I have no interest developing a friendship with the Spiritually Walking Dead.

That says nothing about anyone since Peter and does not support the concept of apostolic succession. The explanation in your link makes the same leap of logic.

You can choose to believe it, but you cannot choose whether it's true.
This church is dedicated to preaching True Christianity™ and the King James Bible exactly as they are, with no alterations to make them more politically correct for modern liberals. If you think that we've misquoted or twisted Scripture or quoted any verse out of context, please explain in detail how we've done so. Otherwise, if what you read on this site offends you, then you're offended by Almighty God and His Word, not by us.

I am very happy that someone on this forum has researched science instead of just binning it on regard if faith, however your knowledge of science cannot be that great if, like many of your contemporaries you disregard things like evolution even though all evidence supports it.
You say that there are some things the bible had seen before scientists, but this is a bit of a flimsy claim. Yes, some fairly crap references to scientific discoveries were made in the Bible, but the reason scientists do their own, proper research is to find it out properly. The Bible is not true and to base science on it would be silly. Science adjusts it's views based on what's observed, faith is the denial of observation so that belief can be preserved.
In fact I do understand civilised manners, and for you to suggest otherwise when never having even met me is rude and ignorant on your behalf. I am not a bigot also, and neither is 95% of the scientific community and a majority of people in my country and 90% of those in scandanavia. I am not hostile against those of faith, only when their faith harms people.
You also say that I've not been raised in a nation that preaches the irrational beliefs of the Bible, you are a little wrong there too. Primary and Secondary schools I attended were Christian and tried to wrongfully ram faith down our necks.
While I confess to not meeting Trump, I have watched a number of his speeches among other things and found him to be the most racist, sexist, homophobic and plain ignorant person I have ever met. In fact, the main reason I have not been to the US is the real risk of meeting Donald Trump.

Hello Goldenshark,
Welcome to this forum. It is lovely to see you indulge yourself in science. This however is a Christian™ forum and the people here might like it if you would elaborate a bit about your choice to forsake verses in the Bible, and why you have chosen to be an atheist. And more important: Why you chose to come here.
Kind regards,
Roland
Jeremiah 6:21 Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will lay stumblingblocks before this people, and the fathers and the sons together shall fall upon them; the neighbour and his friend shall perish.
Best wishes for the people in Ukraine.

How many wetback Mexicans do you have in Scandanavia? How many gangbanging Negro rapper mass shooters?
Likewise, how many Negro presidents have you had? How many minority government officials? Heck, how many government officials have you had that were not blond haired and blue eyed? Do you really want to play the bigot card? Really?
Now then, you claim to respect science. In fact you almost sound reverent of it. And yet you openly condemn the Donald without exposing yourself to his habitat, and you make pronouncements without applying anything resembling scientific objectivity.
Consider this. It is not sexist to call women who are fat, ugly, and stupid what they are. Trump has not claimed that all women are fat, ugly, and stupid. He has called specific women who are fat, ugly, and stupid that. How does stating an observable fact make him sexist?
It is not racist to say we have an illegal immigration problem when we do have an illegal immigration problem. While Scandinavia may be immune to this because Mexicans can't swim that far, America is not. China built an even bigger wall to keep the Mongols out, but everyone calls that a monumental achievement. The Chinese didn't want the Mongols coming over and robbing them blind. The Donald doesn't want Mexicans coming over and robbing us blind. By holding the Donald to a different standard than you hold the Chinese, you are proving yourself to be a bigot.
How is being a financial genius ignorant? How is coming up with a solution to stop terrorism and theft in America ignorant? How is finding split-second comebacks to the comments of his haters ignorant?
No sir, the Donald is neither sexist, racist, or ignorant. The simple truth of the matter is that you, all of the Netherregions, Europe as a whole, and indeed the entire world, are jealous that God has chosen America to be the home of one of the greatest figures in all of human history.
