Thanks for the encouragement.

However, the atheists need more protection from you than they do from me. Why? Because I would give them a chance to see truth and change. You simply want them to die. So...

Protect yourself.

You need to remember BADecker: this forum is full of atheist.

Protect yourself.


Best regards.

Why, thank you, BitNow. One of the nicest things you've said about me!

You need to remember Videodrome: purpose of BADecker is to save us all!


Best regards.

You need to remember. Religious people have children. They make lots of lives, too.

You need to remember. The irreligious people killed by the religious people would have died anyway.

You need to think. When irreligious people die, they are being saved from doing more sins. Why? Because dead people can't sin. How is this important? This means that they will have less to be punished for in eternity. So religions that kill the irreligious are actually doing them a favor.

Without religion, nobody would be saved to have a glorious eternal life with God.

Without religion, the irreligious would pick up and slaughter each other anyway.

simple answer:

an atheist hate the religions because the religions have maded to many deaths in history

Not all atheists do hate religion. I'm an atheist and I don't.

i do not hate it, i just don`t do it.

Alright, I'm coming....

But, but, but...  We gotta let the scientists rule. After all, think of all the unemployment if the truth came out, that science is quackery.

Think of all those particle accelerators that are finding new subatomic particles... or are they creating them? We'll never know. Only the word of the scientists exists to determine this. But it all comes out of our tax dollars.

I do believe in karma because there is a significant weight of scientific evidence suggesting that consciousness is NOT produced by the brain.

I think it is likely you do not understand that NDEs are a medical anomaly.

If researchers could prove that clinically dead patients, with no electrical activity in their cortex, can be aware of events around them and form memories, this would suggest that the brain does not generate consciousness.

In the AWARE study, consciousness and awareness appeared to occur during a three-minute period when there was no heartbeat. This is paradoxical, since the brain typically ceases functioning within 20-30 seconds of the heart stopping and doesn’t resume again until the heart has been restarted.

To be honest i don't believe in any immortal soul, Karma or Cosmic justice. I think That study is total BS. If you believe in any of those you are not an atheist
I would take it more seriously if they asked atheists and not agnostics

Evolutionary explanations of the origin of religion utterly fail to explain the totality of religious experience and belief.

By the way. New studies shows that religious people are less generous than atheists

No big surprise there.

When we get to the point that no one would be preached to anymore, then no one will convert. They go along with each other nicely. With the invention of the internet, I think we're probably at least in the high 90s percentage on that one already. There's no way to measure whether a person has been preached to. I think it includes those who feel close to the Holy Spirit, and make good choices too. It says all, but you know there will be babies taken who have never heard (understood at the least!) the gospel the way we think of it.

Well, yes, but a second reason is that the prophesies may not all have been fulfilled yet. For example, not every tribe in the deep, dark jungles of the world have had a chance to hear the Word yet. True, this is giving the world a chance, as you said. But it is also fulfilling prophesy.

Jesus said in Matthew 24:14:

The only reason Jesus hasn't come back yet, is because they are waiting for more converts.

2 Peter 3:9 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.

As soon as there will be no converts repenting, I believe that is the moment He will return.

Exactly! Another way of saying my point. We should not execute non-violent atheists simply because they are atheists. Rather, we should hold out eternal life to them. If they won't turn, God will judge them by throwing them into the Lake of Fire along with the devil and his angels, as the Revelation says.

The law has been fulfilled by Jesus Christ. Remember, Jesus said that he came to fullfill the law, not to change it.
It had been fulfilled, there is nothing more we can do or not do about the law. Sort of a case dismissed in a courtroom.
Heaven and eternal life are achievied by Grace alone, no more law.

If you don't accept James, how can you accept the Bible, of which James is a part? In such an instance, your idea of using Bible Law to condemn anyone is completely flawed.

James goes on to say in James 2:11-13:
In other words, if you are a law-breaker, you deserve punishment for being a law-breaker, no matter what law you broke. However, the law of mercy through the salvation provided by Jesus overcomes the judgment of the Law.

----------

Jesus said in Matthew 7:12:
Note that showing mercy to the atheist just as you would have mercy shown to yourself, is what the Law and the Prophets of the Old testament are all about.

----------

Jesus says in Matthew 22:37-40:
Again, all the Law and the Prophets of the Old Testament hang on the idea of love. Is it love to want to put atheists to death? Rather, isn't it love to get them to turn, and to start believing in God, so that they can be saved?

----------

Luke 16:16,17
Even the Law gives way to the Gospel of salvation, rather than death. The Law will only disappear when the heavens and the earth pass away. Think of how strong the Gospel is that is even stronger than the Law!

----------

If you do not turn and believe what the Bible says, you are not only wrong, but you are also throwing your salvation away. This is the thing that happens to people who follow the Pope in a dedicated way. Why? Because the Pope is not of God.
