OK I get what "rational" means now. It means you don't believe in God because you are intellectually honest, but you can sin all you want and say you didn't because "sin" is a religious term.

It's all coming together. Thanks fellas.

Aw. That was cute,but I still don`t think you get it.
Keep whacking that head of yours against the wall and you might get it eventually.

Oops the Gang of Four is here to derail one of the most widely read and visited thread in the last week.

Funny how that works. We also note how rarely one of the Gang is instrumental in starting or growing a large thread.

But that's OK, Jesus loves the Gang anyway.

New arrivals might wish to read my "Thread Highlights" on page 6 I believe.

Has it ever crossed your mind that people come to your threads for no other reason than pure entertainment and to see what you`ll say next?
No. I don`t suppose it has.

Hurry up new arrivals and get over to page 6 to read Radorths lone voice of reason before you all get all swept up in the great atheist cabal!

I`m afraid that the only thing new arrivals are going to find on page 6 is a scared little man who`s not so secure in his paper thin faith.
But by all means,go see for yourself!

P.S.
Perceptive readers will notice on page 6 that Radorth accused Fenton Mulley of misquoting him AGAIN. Perceptive readers will also note that Radorth has yet to provide any evidence for his claim.

That was off-topic.

So was that; you are being hypocritical, again.

If you no longer want to see your posts shot down as hypocritical (or, as they often are, irrational, contradictory and/or dishonest), you must first stop making posts that are hypocritical (or irrational, or contradictory, or dishonest).

It sure is, and simple, too; give it a try.

So just how many are inside your head right now?!

Your threads rarely grow, Radorth; they usually just fester.

While those who are "Saved" can (and quite often DO) sin all they want because they know that the kind, loving ol' Jesus will save them and take them to heaven, while the unbelievers who have 'sinned' relatively less than them go to hell, for the 'sin' of not believing, despite all the evidence against the bible.

I also feel that 'sin' is also a concept invented by religious leaders to control the population. Any views on this?

From Rad
Quote:
Ciphergirl told Rad he should take a logic course, then apparently realized her proof of God’s nonexistence was based on assumptions gleaned from thin air. When confronted, she wondered if God couldn’t be omnimax as defined by her, what was he then? A” weak bumbling kindhearted simpleton?”
HaHaaaaahaaaaa! Perhaps you should take an English reading comprehension class. I was mainly illustrating that unless assertions are spelled out clearly at the start of a discussion, then everyone is free to assume. I pulled my assumptions out of the air Rad. Where did you pull your assertions from?

But you should at least keep your assumptions straight during the course of the argument. You started this thread highlighting the verses which say that god is to be feared. Then later you stated that god is only love. If your deity is only love, why then the component of fear? One cannot love what they fear (excluding masochists ).

In previous discussions with christians, I've noticed that they seem to change their description of said deity based upon their audience. It also seems that each individual christian has their own version of said god. So instead on one god for all christians, I think each individual christian has their own god. And this is supposed to make me want to "come to Jesus"?

Radorth,

Read this post I make several times. You can stop when you think you've finally grasped the concept.

"Sin" is the act of disobeying the will of god. If there is no god to disobey, then "sin" is impossible.
