Why read “bible verses” when I can just look around me and see a whole lotta people not being protected by anyone/anything?

If a talking snake, ever takes me aside and says "Yo! Dumbo! This is the tree of knowledge. Want to eat some fruit? It'll wise your dumb ass up."

After a second hit of those drugs, I'll be chowing down on fruit. I always trust talking snakes in fruit trees.

Bible says pretty much whatever the reader wants it to say

I'm going to register to a diabetes website and post a recipe for Death by Chocolate.

Biblical spells of protection belong on a Xian message board or maybe on World of Warcraft. Why even post this shit here?

I actually scrolled through all of those looking for the punchline, but one never came. I'm confused at the point of posting this on a site full of agnostics and athiests.

Could it be that He, Him, the Lord, and the evil one are just YOU? The Gnostic gospels said as much but they were conveniently removed from the Biblical cannon ages ago. And you replace He, Him, the Lord, and the evil one with you, you, you, and you these things make much more sense - except of course you are fallible so you're on your own.

Ultimately the only verse you need is:

"I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."

because as has famously been said, "the only thing we have to fear... is fear itself". Thanks FDR!

OOOOOOOh I love a good sermon.
Especially in an Agnostic/ Atheistic community. Just gets my panties in a bunch.

JK.
What in the world, in your seemingly holier than though mindset makes you think any one. No really, ANY ONE wants to be 'preached' to Here.
We get enough of that shit in the real world from the deluded. And have to then have to read your propaganda. And yes, this shit is exactly that. This place is for those whom of which have questions about their faith, religion, beliefs etc. NOT to be 'preached' to.
I will gladly entertain a conversation about religion, or faith any time.

But to straight post up a, for lack of a better word, a 'sermon' . Piss off.

God was a useful concept before we invented condoms, we can protect ourselves now. No need for Vatican roulette or anything.
I’m surprised that the people most into abstinence also claim that a virgin gave birth, so they lie when they say abstinence is 100% effective, if they believe their other stories.

You may want to look Agnostic up in a dictionary .

Thanks ... but no. Not even a little.

Don't need the human crap in my life.

I get enough Christian bullshit from talking to my sister. I don't want or need them on a site for agnostics/atheists.

God, whichever god it is, is doing a terrible job at protecting us! Being aware that the bible was man-made in the first Nicaea Council , explains every mistake and deceive...

Yeah, well, God isn't very good at his job.

Where is the punchline? This post has no point. If this is your attempt to "witness," you've badly missed the mark.

Wall to wall bullshit, and the streets are paved with faeces.

Who cares!!!

Why do you not find something of interest that is Germaine to those who use this site!!!

If you read those with Trump and/or his supporters in mind, you readily see how utterly empty and dishonest the verses are. Shame on Microsoft for pandering to the stupid and helping to delude them.

God apparently just LOVES ads on Women's Day magazine. I never did see the article.

Dear Kevin, I regret that such confused and mean-spirited posts accrued. This site is often visited by Christian trolls and the link is a red flag that brings out PTSD flashbacks. So, don't take it personally. The take-home is the need for clear communication. Describing your motivation would have helped, as you replied to TristanNuvo.

This was definitely a fun post. Apparently many didn't understand my tagline and expressed anger at the post instead of dissecting it as some did. To my understanding this is not a place to hide from religion but to discuss the absurdities of it. Y'all with me?

@IAJ0163 Dude, you are a christian hiding behind an atheist label, trying to make us believe that you are not christian.

We don't go to your church and tell you about a 4.5 billion year old earth or try to make your kids non-christian, so get out of our face with your christian bullshit.

Every other thing you post on this site has to do with bible verses. begone.

Why is it that we leave the religious people alone and yet they feel the need to bother us and waste our time?

Yes, it certainly is. Do these verses strike a nerve with you? Not too pleasantly, I'd guess.

Huh?
