No. Educating.

Better still, let's just ignore all the preachers. That way there's no danger of inadvertently listening to a bad one, and anything the good ones tell you is worthless anyway.  It's a win-win.

I think the word your looking for is human race, not human group. You only have to open up a newspaper to clearly see humans are a very violent hate filled species. But also capable of kind, love and compassion as well of course, or we would never of survived this long.


Well it's probably just sematics. A group of people that hate something in common, is a hate group. What is actually hated is irrelevant.


Still hate.

1. Christians are a group.
2. A core doctrine of Christians is to hate sin.
Therefore ..........  Christians are a hate group, as they are all suppose to hate sin.

The reasons they hate sin, or whether it's a good or bad thing is 100% irrelevant to the above logic. OP's statement still stands true.

Is simple straight forward logic so difficult to understand? Why do Christians keep lying that they aren't a hate group?

Logic confirms it. Why is this thread still going? There's no more to discuss.

Let's hope BADecker can mature mentally as well. As I suspected all along, he's in love with the idea, not God.

LOL 

 

Don't tell me. We've got to believe in this unicorn or we will all burn in hot fiery pink hell right?

Oh dear, now look who's guilty of generalising.  You can't put all Christians in that same box you now.

I thought you lot were suppose to be a hate group. You know, hate the sin?

Now your claim to love sinning. You crazy mixed up kids.  

Err, what's this got to do with this topic? I think you may of inadvertently posted in the wrong thread.

People are simply trying to "save" you from this man-made cult you've been sucked into. It's not hate if they are trying to save you. Your words remember.

Let's suppose a stranger phoned you up tonight and said "I know who you are. I know where you live. So-and-so is coming round tonight to put a bullet in your back." and then hung up.
Now you could go either of two ways. You could believe the threat and start panicking, or you could just not believe it, shrug your shoulders and carry on as normal.
Now the point is that it's irrelevant if the threat was a sucess or not. It's still someone else threatening or at least attempting to threaten you.

Of course I understand there are different levels of threats. My example above is a very serious one. In contrast the Christian extremist one is rather a silly childish one, most normal muture adults would roll their eyes to it. But the point is it's still someone attempting to threaten you however much they sugarcoat it with "saving" you.

On a further note the Christian extremist threat is a logical fallacy anyway as it's an "appeal to consequences", so should be ignored as it's a flawed statement.



If you never experienced dark, how would you know what light is?
If you never felt cold, how would you know what warmth was?
If you never felt sad, how would you know what it's like to be happy?
If you never tasted anything sour, how would you know what sweetness tasted like?
If you never experience hate, how would you know what love is?

This is completely true of course, and I agree, all it takes is a small group of these bad weak Christian extremists to spoil it for the good ones.
All we can do is use the tools God gave us, common sense, logic and sound reasoning to attempt to deradicalise them, as they are defenseless against these three things.
Other than that there's not much hope for them.

 

1aguar isn't picking on you, he's simply trying to educate you.
It's very clear beyond all reasonably doubt that you need it. Painfully obvious in fact.

Sweeping under the carpet the fact that Christians endlessly threaten people with the old "believe in my cult or burn in hell" tiresome sketch.

All these religious cults believe that their one is "the correct one". They all know they are the correct one because they all feel it with 100% certainty in their heart.

Unfortunately anyone with an ounce of common sense can quite clearly see that they cannot all be correct. Yet everyone "knows" deep deep down in their heart they have the "correct one".

Conclusion:
Knowing it in your heart you've picked the right one is clearly a totally useless indicator and has no value whatsoever.

Good hard 14 hour days work.
You'll be exhausted and fall asleep in no time.

I find this hard to believe.
I think what you mean is 90% of those in church ignore what's in the bible and just do their own thing.
That's much more believable.

This is a serious discussion about God. Please keep your bedtime fairytale stories designed for infants off this thread. Nobody over the age of 6 believes this fantasy myth anymore. Thanks.  

What authority?

Double-edged sword here.

If just one person does not believe in a religion and does a good deed, then it's the person that must get credit for the good deed, not the irreligion. Effectively making religion obsolete; well the good deed parts anyway.
