Diogenes comments on Dec 9, 2017:

YESSSSS! It is their way of showing total disrespect for you. Like the Christian mythology, the Greek mythological god, Zeus, gave Pandora her box with the key attached and a note saying not to open it.

webbew1 comments on Dec 9, 2017:

It's less their version of "fuck you" and more along the lines of a southerner saying, "Bless your heart." In other words, it's them in a more round about way saying, I don't want to insult you, but you're an idiot.

My brother is a pastor and he did not speak to me for years for asking a few negative questions from the Bible. His answer was you gotta have faith. My last 3 girlfriends in a row, dump me because I couldn't be saved. I just don't know if God exist. Don't even claim to be agnostic or atheist....

EmeraldJewel replies on Dec 8, 2017:

What gets me is how people can flaunt jesus’ death as a guilt trip as it was our fault his father/himself set up man to fail in the first place.

I didn’t mean to go off like that, but if absolutely pisses me off to think that there’s so many children who has been molested and raped and lives has been destroyed lives, due to this immoral act.

EmeraldJewel replies on Dec 7, 2017:

I’d have to agree. From what I’ve read, god is for sure the evil one. I don’t think a person can get any much lower than that to predetermine two people’s fate in advance then go ahead and create hem, anyway. Never mind the fact they’d allow them to be tricked then punish them for it.

Most Christians I’ve come across defends this monsterous behavior and is completely fine with animal and human sacrifices. They refuse to see logic.

Infinitywrytr comments on Dec 5, 2017:

I read somewhere, that around 80% of people in prison who have been convicted of high level violent crimes, claim to be affiliated with a mainstream religion, like Christianity, Catholicism, etc.. Something like less than 2% claimed they were atheist, and the remaining were not affiliated with any...

EmeraldJewel replies on Dec 5, 2017:

Yep it does. Japan is actually an atheist country and their crime rate is low compared to America’s.

Diogenes comments on Dec 5, 2017:

I don't often lose my cool over nothing- and the evangelicals, specifically, are "nothing"- otherwise I just treat them as a little bit more foolishness- in a very foolish world. They give me a two-second laugh.

EmeraldJewel replies on Dec 5, 2017:

Lol good point.

JohnGlass comments on Dec 5, 2017:

I’ve had people pray for me to find THEIR god. I know some of them think the devil is keeping me away. One girlfriend told me the reason the devil is keeping me away is that he knows once I would find god, I’d be a great spokesperson for god. I just chalk it up to crazy thinking and try to move ...

EmeraldJewel replies on Dec 5, 2017:

Lol I’ve had them tell me the same thing. I’ve even had some that told me,” The devil got a hold of me.”

Thought these were cute and funny! I dare myself to post these on Facebook!!! LMFAO!!!

Have you ever tried to believe in god, but you found yourself not able to?

I won't step a foot into a church now. I'll burn. Lol. The music irritates me too.

EmeraldJewel replies on Dec 5, 2017:

Lol I thought I was the only one.

Coffeo comments on Dec 5, 2017:

I suggest you stop trying so hard. If you're going to end up religious, it's not going to be because you've tried hard. As for the church music, I couldn't agree more. There is some truly magnificent church music out there, but most people never hear it. Music was the only thing I DID like about ...

EmeraldJewel replies on Dec 5, 2017:

That was a long time ago when I gave the religious life a shot, just so I could say,” I tried.” This must be who I am, and there’s no changing it.

Isn't the idea about the rapture silly?

roberbro comments on Dec 3, 2017:

A friend of mine used to have a bumper sticker that read, "After the rapture, can I have your car?"

EmeraldJewel replies on Dec 5, 2017:

I think I should get something like that, especially on my door where the idiots bug me at the privacy of my own home.

BucketlistBob comments on Dec 5, 2017:

Hell, nobody knows. I keep it to myself. I haven't had to deal with yet.

EmeraldJewel replies on Dec 5, 2017:

People started getting suspicious because I live in a small town that is a Bible Belt and people started catching on that I was never going to church, didn’t belong to a church community and my refusal to go to anybody’s church when people would knock on my door or when I was invited, despite my attempts in the past, due to church doesn’t do anything for me. Gossip gets started fast where I live, but I’m working to GET OUT!

What’s your view on free will?

BucketlistBob comments on Dec 4, 2017:

I can see your pissed at free will.

EmeraldJewel replies on Dec 4, 2017:

Heck yes! The stupidity of people putting thing out their a** and poisoning the mind of innocent children with this garbage and a fear of nothing does anger me.

Am I the only one who have high respect for scientist?

Sarahroo29 comments on Dec 4, 2017:

I also have a high respect for doctors. They help us, and what do the pious do? Thank jesus for saving their life. Jesus gets the credit. No, the doctor should. I do respect a lot of scientists.

EmeraldJewel replies on Dec 4, 2017:

I hate when he religious gives Jesus or god the credit. Lol I agree with you.

Am I the only one who have high respect for scientist?

Dougnostic comments on Dec 3, 2017:

I still have respect for most scientists- as long as they stick to the scientific method and are not beholden to persons or entities who are funding their research.

EmeraldJewel replies on Dec 4, 2017:

Agree 100%

Prayer selfish?

atheist comments on Dec 3, 2017:

Pray for shellfish! :)

EmeraldJewel replies on Dec 3, 2017:

Let's pray for healthy brains for everyone, but considering Yahweh love his followers brainwashed, that'll never happen.

Prayer selfish?

noworry28 comments on Dec 3, 2017:

Do something about it, don't pray for it. Prayers are useless. Praying to an invisible super being that lives in the sky and control all and knows all. He does not need anyone to pray to him if he is all powerful and knows it all. If someone is hungry, give that person some food. If someone is ...

Jesus isn't coming back. People need to get over it. It's silly. Dooms day 3x this year, so the theists predicted. Lol. It's funny. I survived many raptures. Another check on my rapture card. Lol.

SKDeitch comments on Dec 3, 2017:

It's no sillier than the notion that the creator of the universe embodied himself as an obscure Jewish carpenter or that the universe was created in six days or any of a thousand crazy beliefs held by a thousand crazy religions. Even so, the idea of them all going away at once sometimes makes me...

EmeraldJewel replies on Dec 3, 2017:

Yes, I'd love that. If they'd just go away and get out of his fallen world, as they say, I'd be happy.

Brainwashing is a horrible thing.
