When Jesus came along and told people that their leaders were corrupt money grubbing actors and lying frauds who cared about nothing but themselves, and that everything that they were taught to believe about God and their religious practices was false and had been for over a thousand years, it took faith to believe him even though what he said was a truth that they already knew deep inside. It wasn't anything that everyone didn't already know.Alright then..
God has given all rational people the green light to pay you back in your own coin..
How do you like them apples?
Fine with me. I know how to fight. Also, use my thumbs to grab a gun and shoot accurately..
Well goody for you.
I have a gun that has no bullets and doesn't make any noise but will set your soul on fire.
You cannot defend yourself against what you cannot see or comprehend, the truth.
Goody for you, too, and your rounds with no bullets.
Have no idea what you are arguing? Which God do you refer to? Christian? Deist?
No idea? Thats a shame. And its only just begun...
Its going to be very humiliating and embarrassing for ya'll. But the people on whom your focus your hatred are going to laugh...
If you weren't such despicable spineless cowards full of corruption and a long history of doing evil on your permanent record, I would feel sorry for you.
Why would I be a coward *IF* pain and suffering is the truth that atheists want? Maybe God does that in the after life and not this life.
We already know that the Bible states that one has to have faith and that it takes courage to take the leap of faith? Maybe it takes courage to have faith.
What he taught them that they didn't already know is what was the only right way to interpret and conform to the divine commands that reveals the wisdom of God and fulfills the promise of life.
To believe in Jesus meant walking a straight , narrow, and difficult path for the rest of their lives....It wasn't hard to believe him, it was hard to admit it and side with him openly. Just like now, there were real consequences for opposing evil.
Having faith is not about adopting an irrational belief in the ridiculous it is the belief in truth when the rest of the world professes a belief in lies and had consequently gone completely insane.,
Like you said, having faith takes courage.
You have adopted an irrational belief in the ridiculous even though deep inside you already know its a lie.
Thats why you are a coward.
You actually have no faith.
