Atheism

True Christians obey the Word of God which plainly teaches to avoid Atheists.

Rom_16:17  Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.

True Christians obey this verse. Nicolaitan Christians do not obey it, they choose to disobey this very and justify doing so, because they think they are going to get through to them, and change them to the light.

Those who draw close to God are they that God will draw close to.

You can't talk a person into drawing close to God, nor will you ever be able to convince an Atheist that there is a God, no not with a million words. let them alone, let them be. Today's Christians trying to reach an Atheist is doing nothing more then throwing pearls to swine, which Scriptures teaches us NOT to do.

Note: i am not suggesting we not answer them when they ask us a question, what i am saying, is we are not to engage them into conversations, or associate ourselves with them.

So you're sinning . . . you can avoid us right now by getting the **** out of here. We sure as hell don't want any religious retards associating with us.

Well then wtf are you doing here Dave?

You beat me to it Set

Man, the title of this thread is just a holy roller magnet, eh?

God dammit.

Beats the hell out of a romance novel, eh?

Best meme ever!

Funny, a few of us on another thread were just discussing why Jesus was such a bastard that he approved of slavery and wanted people to be his.

Guess there is no alternative. As Bob Dylan sang it 'You've got to serve somebody'.

I got to google that and see if that’s a book instead of just a meme. That could be a good read.

What a loon . . . just doesn't get it.

Goonies will be goonies.

You were thumbed down twice (at least) for posting quotation marks. :-)

How dared you?

Amazing isn’t it.

And condemning people for wanting something good for themselves gets four thumbs up. When did wanting good for yourself become immoral?

Obviously the thumb monkeys don t actually read what you write before thumbing it down Otherwise you d have to assume they disapprove of punctuation marks

Says the "thumb monkey" who went right to work as soon as he showed up in this thread. Why don't you two get a room?

Yes, It would seem that A2K has devolved into a popularity contest.
Hell, the mods should eliminate the text box altogether, just give us bigger thumbs up/down gadgets. Makes moderation easier for them too.
You can’t even agree with someone without getting blasted.

It depends on what you mean by 'good' and what you mean by 'want.'

Hedonism considers pleasure good without considering the broader context of how the pleasure is functioning to produce good/evil. So hedonists consider it good to want pleasure without concern for the effects.

In terms of 'wanting' good, what your id wants is not always good, and what your superego asserts to repress the id's desires aren't always good. So the ego/self is supposed to find a balance between id and superego that's healthy, according to Freud; but that involves balancing wants against higher moral reasoning.
