I'm a Nhilist. However, I'm far from the typical psuedo intellectual non believer who hates Christianity yet doesn't even understand it. Im not against religion and honestly believe that Christianity is the only faith people should follow considering how our country was built on Christian principles and upheld by Christian law. I respect the faith and some of the best men I know are God fearing Christians. It's just not for me. I would never attempt to attack your faith because I know it's the most important aspect of your life. I do have some issues with religion as a whole but again...i don't think it's proper to insult a Christian man by mocking his faith.

No..I agree...I mean you don't have to look much further than Genesis Ch 19 to understand exactly where society is going and what's in store for us (minus the Devine intervention part)...I'll be the first one to tell you how our society would be a lawless debauchery without Christianity and what is happening now is proof of that...my only issue is that you shouldn't be so threatened by other people who don't follow your path...I personally don't believe in good and evil and simply treat my fellow brothers and sisters the way I would like to be treated.

In so many words...it's not my aim to try and convince you to believe what I do or even change who you are...I just don't think I'm relevant enough to put myself in that position...I understand the "evil" nature in man and why he needs religion...I myself follow the basic principles of Christian morals just without the Devine intervention part...my only issue is that the only thing keeping you decent is the promise of a Devine reward. I'm not trying to insult you or your faith but I just see it as something figurative and not so much literal.

And those criminals who rape and murder still have a place in the kingdom of heaven while someone like me who has never committed harm to my fellow man doesn't simply for the crime of not believing in the Devine being who supposedly created me.
I would only ask you again...what part of your faith requires looking down on those who choose a different path? You're supposed to help people open their eyes to the path you feel is the only way to be saved right? I'm not the smartest man in the world but I don't reckon insulting people fits into that plan.LE6920CA Magpul

It's not really about the reward, it would be much easier to not be a Christian and partake of the pleasures of this world. Was an atheist for most of my life, and I loved it, but when God makes Himself known to you, as much as you would like to continue your way of life as you once did, you simply cannot once you are born again.
When you read the Bible and really study it as a born again Christian, God speaks to you as you read it and when diving deep into it, it becomes abundantly clear that it is a book (66) from God. Man could not have possibly written it so cohesively and prophetically

And this is why I fancy having conversations with Christians...because I obtain knowledge about why their faith is so important to them..im not here to say anything you believe in is wrong...I just want to know as much about the faith as possible so long as I'm obliged with the same respect.

I never said you were looking down on any crimes I've committed because I never have..im just saying you're looking down on me in general for not sharing your beliefs which to me seems like something an insecure person does...and...I have no idea what you're referring to pertaining to any movies from the 90s...you lost me there.

I can give countless examples of how God has worked in my life, as well as my wife's but until you truly seek after Him with your whole heart, you'll never know the reality of Him. God wants to be in your life, He wants to guide you, be with you in every decision, every moment, but God does not force Himself on anyone, and until a person makes a choice that they want Him in their lives, He will not force Himself on anyone. Because what kind of relationship can be built upon forced love?

No offense but I personally don't care how you view me or if you look down on me.. let alone put any effort into giving you any reasons...I simply want to have an adult conversation with Christians because I want to know more about the faith...yet you choose to succumb to vanity and assume you're in the position to look down on me...
