Wow, is this ever a loaded two sentences. Please define Godly life. I hope your answer doesn't include living according the the bible as I fear that will bring utter mayhem to the world.

Gee, I forgot that only christians can be morally responsible and christians are never amoral.

As someone who lives in Kansas, it is poorly considered statements like yours that makes our state a laughing stock.

The reason that we hope more sheep stray from the flock is moral responsibility. If the rise of evangelical Christianity in the past 20 years has demonstrated nothing else it has shown itself to be the antithesis of morality.

So people who don't believe in [your] god can't be morally responsible?

I don't know whether to laugh at you or pity your myopia

Nope no one laughing here. Christians are not the only once who can live moral lives, that is your misunderstanding.

Godly life. Lets see Love they neighbor as they self, yeah thats a bad one. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Yep, there is another bad one. What was I thinking.

Nope nothing to laugh about to me anyhow. As I said in the scriptures in the above post about things we are to do.

Matt. 25:34-40
34"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.
35For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,
36I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'
37"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?
38When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you?
39When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'
40"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'

I just don't know what the Lord was thinking, teaching us to give water and food to those who need it. Then He even gets worse by telling us to cloth them and visit them when they are sick and/or in prison. Such hateful teaching, and I fell for them. Oh please forgive me. :down:

Oh, come on. I wasn't born yesterday. Christians don't follow the Gospels. It's impossible, and actually quite foolish, and somewhat immoral.

If a man slaps you on the cheek, and you just let him slap you on the other one, then he's going to learn to go around slapping people, and you are doing your fellow people a disservice because he's going to slap someone else's cheek, too. If someone was slapping your cheek, you'd call the police just like anyone else would.

I have heard of a handful of people who wouldn't, maybe like three or four real, absolute pacifists, but I've never met one.

It is impossible and somewhat immoral to do the things I listed? Then you wonder why some Christians don't think non-christians have morals.
