He only said sorry to your face. In his mind he is thinking "smug little bastard! I'm going to enjoy watching you burn for eternity. Nha nha nah nah nah!"

That's a lot to say at one time... very good. Proud of you standing your ground.

We don't need his pity.

Well-stated. Clear, grounded, and unequivocal.

Beautifully stated. Perfect.

Is your 'god' so shallow that he needs everybody to love him? I am a little worried that your god is stalking me. Should I file a report?

I like the attitude of your approach, because I use something similar once in a while and find it quite effective. Go Git Um Tiger.

“watch-dog divinity” -- laughing out loud.. I’m learning fun terms and new phrases every day around here!

"he is sorry that I have not felt the love of god" - just like all the alter boys have?

The preacher told me I was going straight to hell. I'm like “Hellooh <finger snap and palm in your face denial>! There may be a lot of ways I'm going to hell, but ‘straight’ isn't one of them.”

brilliant well said

Sorry for your living with the belief that your friends or family might be eternally punished for morally irrelevant and finite things.

for real!!

What did he say? lol Nicely put!...

Well, I'll be saving that for Facebook!!

Logic never works on these guys. I find that if you gently mock them, that helps.

Pastor: Have you met Jesus?
Ben: Of course, I'm dating his dad.

Pastor: I'm sorry that you've never felt the love of God.
Ben: I'm sorry that you haven't either. Or experience the love of Zeus, or gotten to kiss Eros on the mouth.

Pastor: You're going straight to hell.
Ben: Pastor, of all the ways I'm going to hell, "STRAIGHT" is not one of them.

Pastor: Jesus loves you.
Ben: Yah, but he's two thousand years old and still lives at home.

Pastor: Jesus sent me to you.
Ben: I'm not surprise, Heaven always did have it out for me.

We are so lucky to have this site to say what we feel and meet so many with more or less the same principles....good for you...

I am sorry for you pastor you don't know to think for yourself.

Best antI-relIgIon speech ever !!!!!

Well said, and obviously, heartfelt.

Omniscient, all powerful, and he STILL wants y/our money!!!

That is a great statement Foxonaut!! They have followed the fine white line for their whole life and that would suck if I couldn't try kinda fucked up shit and test some limits!! My life is kind of a test that is still going after not normal shit!!

They keep on saying he is a caring god and gives you free will but if you do not do what the bible saids you will got to hell to me that is not a caring god and it means you do not have free will

That's a pretty tough move there. I agree with your statements. I don't know if i would ever be in a position to make all those bold statements directly to a Rabie, priests, preachers. Good for you.
