LifeHiscost Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 I have a solution for you since you see the things so grim on this planet and a conspiracy theory on each stone you lift . There is heaven for you Christians. Right? So, why you don't just expedite the process and lead the way? We atheist will be more than happy seen you fulfilling your dreams and desires, so you can be for eternity with your "Lord", and leave us here on this "falling world", to figure out what you only know how to fix with guilt trips, penance, prayers and martyrdom. Reply · 50 View all 158 replies Interesting, but it's a good thing to get your facts sorted out before jumping to conclusions. If you wrote a univeristy essay or did that in a university exam--jumping to conclusions--you would fail. Most Christians I know, and they mainly live near to me (so as a whole I don't know that many--maybe fifty or sixty), are not into conspiracy theories. Most of them are professionals with degrees, mainly as doctors and surgeons and in other scientific subjects. They are basically logical people who are saddened--but not hostile like yourself--by people falling for conspiracy theories. By your tone, it does not seem to fit that you would be happy for Christians--or perhaps anyone who has a different world view from your own--to fulfill their dreams. Admittedly, there are people who put guilt trips, penance and martrydoms on people, but that seems to be the Church of Rome of which you allude. Having been a Catholic, and was "educated" by Marists, and know much of the dogmas, history, I'm just wondering if, then, you wre a Catholic, as those things infuriated me when I was younger, so I'd understand if that's what you mean by Christians! Actually, all the Christians I know and have met don't think they are to lead anyone anywhere. They believe they are to be led, by Jesus Christ. I'm yet to meet one who gets angry at those who don't believe that. Those Christians I know are mostly so busy, anyway, they wouldn't have time to watch much of the actual news, let alone conspiracy theories. I know non-Christians too who don't watch the news because of the political bias. It's a good thing to know your enemy. But as to Christians--at least the ones I know--if they were your enemies, the choice would be yours, not theirs. I would understand your fears if they were carrying out beheadings and jihad (though, actually many of them are the victims of these things). Personally, I couldn't care what folk believe, as long as they are not killing or threatening other people. God is Love! Jesus saves! Quote Lift Jesus up!!

Members rudywoofs (Pam) Posted November 15, 2014 Members Posted November 15, 2014 LHC's post is taken from the YouTube video and comments that people posted regarding the video (which is a collage of news reports on natural disasters)... not sure what the point of this thread is, though.. Quote Pam Meddle Not In the Affairs of Dragons; for You Are Crunchy and Taste Good with Ketchup. If we all sang the same note in the choir, there'd never be any harmony. Funny, isn't it, how we accept Grace for ourselves and demand justice for others?
LifeHiscost Posted November 15, 2014 Author Posted November 15, 2014 Do you have a source for this? It's located at the URL address pasted at the top and bottom of my post,(which turned into the image in both cases) in the corresponding comments below the video on the same web page. This written comment is what precedes the video. something very strange is going on 'THE END OF EARTH' (2014) I just went back and found out Rudy told you the same thing. Both of those comments are from reactions of others, not me, to the video and answers to comments. God is Love! Jesus loves! Quote Lift Jesus up!!
Administrators Tom Wetmore Posted November 15, 2014 Administrators Posted November 15, 2014 Well OK then... I see... I agree with Pam. Quote "Absurdity reigns and confusion makes it look good." "Sinless perfection is such a shallow goal." "I love God only as much as the person I love the least." *Forgiveness is always good news. And that is the gospel truth.
