Everyone welcome ThePreacher from Vancuver. He seems to have gotten lost trying to preach in the Lounge, but I thought he might find a better audience here. So here are a couple of comments from ThePreacher that I'm sure you can be a great audience to giving him plenty of good feedback:

perhaps you should ask yourself why are you so hostile to God. I think there's more than your letting on.

I thought you guys were against zealotry overall. and not religion per se

I was born quite fine the first time.

We're not hostile to god per se, it's the concept and/or the believers that we have a problem with. Why are you so hostile to Zeus?

We're not hostile to something we feel doesn't exist. It's like asking why Buddhists are hostlie towards the Easter Bunny. It's the evangelical mentality that we tend to have hostility towards.

I've always wanted to know: how does one go about being 'filled' with God? How do you know you are?

Sexual connotations aside.

I cannot perceive the existence of God. If God exists, why has he insufficiently revealed himself to me?

I'm not hostile to non-existent Gods.

What's life without living it with zeal? It's just zealotry against the rest of mankind that I have a problem with.

God smashed any hopes he had of me believing in him when he handed me the bible. My estimation in man's intelligence had since drastically fallen since reading that book.

That aside, 'ThePreacher', can you please define 'God's love', as every Christian I have encountered who has made similar claims of his 'love', cannot sufficiently answer that question.

Umm....has anyone let him know that this thread exists?

Well, maybe God will turn down the Radiance for a few minutes and instruct him with the Holy Spirit to come see stuff in another forum. Presuming God has omniscient powers, and isn't needing glorification too badly at the moment. But if you just want to play the part of a crazy materialist, I suppose a PM might serve notice, too.

I'm not hostile to god. I'm hostile to fairy tales.

And anyway, since god doesn't exist, "he" doesn't really give a crap about my opinion anyway, so what does it matter?
