The return of Jesus would be the end of Christianity.

I am starting to think that these forums are a real waste of time. How is it that all of the non-believers are all attracted to the Christian and religious threads? If I were an atheist or a non-believer in Jesus I would not even bother writing anything in these threads. However, it appears that since they are non- believers they either have to get involved for the contentious factor or perhaps they are just still unsure what they do believe. I challenge anyone who writes in this forum to have a desire to learn and not just be cantankerous.

You may actually learn something.

@worldtraveler24,
Your challenge is meaningless. People participate as they wish regardless of people like you!

Why don't you take your own challenge, WT?

You might learn...if you stop keeping your mind closed...and being so cantankerous.

@Frank Apisa,
Frank, Frank, Frank,

Here we go again with your perceived mythology and what we believe versus what is real and what you can feel, touch and see.


I have taken my own challenge. I try hard to write edifying posts but for some strange reason I keep getting a lot of flak from the peanut gallery!

Could be...unless you are able to exclude people who do not buy into your fables and fairytales and all that kind of stuff that makes things go bump in the night.

Good luck with that...although I can just about promise you it will not work.

You have not been particularly successful. None of your posts that I have read reach even close to "edifying."

Perhaps it is because you consider people who disagree with you to be part of a peanut gallery...or perhaps it is because you are not nearly as "edifying" as you suppose.

Now...stop being so presumptuous...take your own advice...and perhaps things will start to go better for you.

No problem...and no need to apologize. Anyone can make a dumb mistake.

Now, stop being presumptuous...and cocky...and evasive...and get down to discussion.

We may be able to enlighten you even more.

Sorry my friend, even though religion will not be rid from humanity it will be necessarily, survalistically surpassed by the race. Your lucky religion has come to mean so much to so many unknowing people in the twenty first century. If only we could get to people before religion gets to them more times than not.

Not sure why the babble, Arcades, but there is no answer in this mass of words. I will acknowledge that they all seem to be English words...and there is structure that makes it seem like sentences are there, but it is all over the place.

Is there some reason you do not want to actually discuss the issues...rather than do that pretentious pontificating you were into earlier?

Let's discuss this thing.

You say you know what the true nature of the REALITY of existence is...and you know how to "manipulate it."

You do a very poor job of communicating about the issue...and I am trying to understand you...to see if you are on to something...or simply on something. I want to take it slowly and systematically...so it can be understood.

Answer my previous question. It is a logical, meaningful, reasonable, and germane question.

Ridiculous I say. Unless you plan to start kidnapping infants, your 'we' will never get to them before religion does. Most people's idea of religion is introduced by family, a family that wouldn't let you get near their kids. So good luck.

@worldtraveler24,
You appear to be more inclined to attack with threats of hellfire than defend with the promise of the Good News. Could it be you don't truly understand that a loving God would never consign his creatures (including Satan) to infinite punishment as retribution for finite sin? And could it be that the good news of the kingdom Jesus spoke of refers to God's return to the purpose he first assigned to Adam and Eve?

Waste of time? Not when there are in excess of 10 readers for every post. As much as I may care for the naysayers who travel these threads, I am reassured knowing my message is being read by many I don't see.

My writing has been called babble so many times that it should be a warning label on the cover of my book: contains big words declensed in unexpected ways . And sentence structure that is grammatically correct, but is not designed for the intellectually myopic. Wait I can fix this: pop culture references anyone? Mommsen was asked why his history of Rome was such a difficult read . He replied: because it was written for men, and not for boys.
