A pastor told me today that he is sorry that I have not felt the love of god. Pastor, I am the one who is sorry.
I'm sorry you believe a god who does not seem interested in loving everyone.
I'm sorry you feel the need to apologize for this "all loving" creator.
I'm sorry your religion would have you believe people are incapable of loving each other without this watch-dog divinity.
I'm sorry your happiness in this life relies on hope of the next.
I'm sorry you can't see that we don't need a god to be good, or loved.
I'm sorry for all the wonder your faith would have you ignore in favor of fairy tales.
For all the confusion in doctrine.
For lies of zealouts.
For the guilt brought on by your own humanity.
For all the delusions your mind has been forced through fear to accept, you have my deepest sympathies.

Three proofs that Jesus was Jewish

  1. He went into his father's business
  2. He lived at home until the age of 33
  3. He was sure his mother was a virgin, and his mother was sure he was God.

The One that says that Jesus was Irish has a different #1. The Irish version says the "He went out drinking with his friends the night before he died." Heard it long ago and it took a few hrs. to bring it back from my 65 yrs. old mind. Still works but a little shaky on the downloads.

@Nevermind345 Here's one version of that joke:

SIX PROOFS THAT JESUS WAS IRISH:

1.He never got married.

2.He never held a steady job.

3.He went out drinking with the lads the night before he
died.

4.His last request was a drink

5.He lived with his parents until he was 33.

6.He thought his mother was a virgin, and she, bless her,
thought he was God.

Don’t be sorry! It was his choice.

Awesome post! Thoughts and prayers to the pastor.

Don't blame people for believing in God - some were raised to believe. Some can't comprehend of a Godless Universe.

You don't blame a child for believing in Santa Claus do you?

Don't hate on those that believe in God, all men have struggled with understanding life. Some are not capable of comprehending more than the simplistic God narrative. Also if someone is taught that from a early age they can get locked it.

I don't consider showing the same exact condescendence hatred.

@friendlycatlady or even half or one-third the condescension.

At that point I might ask, "It sounds to me like you haven't either. Love doesn't come with condescension, so I'm guessing you're still trying to earn daddy's love."

It's sad when people's lives are so empty that they have to resort to imaginary friends to feel loved; and sadder still when they earn their livings trying to convince others to buy into the delusion.

Well said.

Great Job!

How can someone who claims to be a jealous and wrathful god be anything other than a stalking psychotic with a sick understanding of the word 'love'.

Thats a great question.

@AnTwanSr Thank you for the correction. I note that the "?" is missing along with the edit facility!

Don't waste your time getting advice from a pastor. They are not free thinking. Their religious education clouds all other types of answers that might work than just those that religion approves. I would suggest a good friend or a counsler before a minister. Just my thoughts.

fuck that's brilliant

2

Fuckk his beliefs

2

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.

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 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!!

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.

Awesome LOL
