Weren't they meant to indicate your agreement that questioning doctrine was a sin?

I don't believe it says anywhere in the bible that questioning doctrine is a sin

Only a fool believes things without questioning them...

Though, religion does seem to be a gullibility test of sorts

Thanks for the input, Christian doctrine is not something I know a lot about.

It's a shame BitNow didn't feel up to sharing his opinion on the matter, I'd really like to know his / her POV on the matter.

I don't believe it says anywhere in the bible that questioning doctrine is a sin

Here is a quote implying quite the opposite:
Quote from: Acts 17:11
Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so.
The "more noble than average" Jews studied the scriptures in detail, questioning whether or not the accounts were accurate


Only a great fool believes things without questioning them...

Though, religion does seem to be a gullibility test of sorts

Why then did you respond to my statement with those quotes? Weren't they meant to indicate your agreement that questioning doctrine was a sin?


I was not answering a question.


Best regards.

Then why quote my question? You're not making sense.

If you want to address another forum member, it's best to start with something like @organofcorti, rather than making a cryptic and off-topic response to a post.

BTW, my post wasn't meant to offend you, although it clearly did. I honestly thought you would consider questioning doctrine a sin, and I apologise that it's not the case.

What sort of doctrine questioning do you think is ok?

Atheist don't hate religion, they just aren't buying whatever scam religion is selling...

You could say Antitheists hate religion, but even that would not necessarily be true.  Opposing something does not require you "hate" it...

Well done.

I can no longer discuss this here, with the level of maliciousness & stupidity shown, but keep up the good work!

Atheism is a sin.


I said that you would think that questioning doctrine is a sin. I think your first quote makes it clear that you do,


I never said that.


How does your second quote relate to questioning doctrine?


I never said that.


Best regards.

Yes it is. You ask BitNow, I'll bet he/she says questioning doctrine is a sin.

Why is belief/faith in a magic fairy required for religion?

If God were legit, why not provide a little evidence of it?  How hard could that be for a God?

Based on the available evidence, God either does not exist, or is a complete monster who is not worthy of our respect:

So, that's a "yes"?

You need to ask a question to have an answer.

What is your question, maybe I can help you.


What do the quotes mean?

What you don't understand exactly from my previous quotes?


Best regards.

Please explain exactly how they relate to my statement. I think I understand how the first quote relates but not the second one.




The quotes I stated describe where the Fear of the Lord leads you.

As an atheist you are sinning and that's perfectly described in this statement of yours:

Yes it is. You ask BitNow, I'll bet he/she says questioning doctrine is a sin.


in this statement of yours you describe the Fear of the Lord for living as a sinner.

For any doubt or information feel free to ask.


Best regards.

Why bother quoting the Old Testament?

Christians these days ignore the entire old testament, except for the 10 commandments, and that part about hating fags...

If you want me to quote the bible, I can show you, in both the OT & NT, where "God" endorses slavery, genocide, homophobia and much more...

Speaking of the 10 commandments... a 5th grader could come up with a better list... only 2 of them are even illegal... why is there no commandment, "dont rape little boys", or "dont own slaves"?  That's a bit of an oversight, dontcha think?

Religion caused wars,the worst thing with human were done in the name of religion( from ancient times till now) and we are all  witnesses how someone is using religion in his own interest. Atheists simply don't believe in nothing they live in the world that rounds them, and they follow science

Then, I ask of you, what is a sin? With your definition, it might help with some clarity... Not all atheists are malicious or have any evil intentions.

Not all the fundamentalists have evil intentions but they follow God's Law.

What is a sin for you?



cultural atheism behaves like a religion itself, they try to shove their stuff down other people's throats

If you don't put a subject in your post it is difficult that you will have an answer.

They don't follow science: atheism is a sin and science comes from Wisdom witch is acquired by fearing the Lord.

If you are a sinner you need to be forgiven before fearing the lord again to find wisdom and to follow science.

Atheists are sinners: what we need to understand is if they are doing it on purpose (capital sin) or they are just ignoring the fact that they are walking on Earth sinning (minor sin).

The fact that I'm facing this sin with you is the proof that I'm involved as well.
