Keep crucifying me (no pun intended) if thats what allows you to continue to feel any of my beliefs irrational, wrong, or false.

And anyway...i thought you didnt believe in God. I never got a clear cut answer as to "why" some of you live in disbelief.
i never said i didn't believe in god. i don't believe in god as you define him, and i definitely don't believe in the jesus christ dog and pony show. but i'm not a cut-and-dried atheist.

Seems to me your belief is as vague as your answers.

I'm gonna quote CS Lewis (a much much wiser and more appreciated man than this old demon)...

"I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept his claim to be God. That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic — on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God, but let us not come with any patronising nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.."

how have my answers been vague? i have been clear and direct with my responses to you. i have nothing to hide.

you seem to think my last post was vague. let me clarify since you didn't get it the first time around.

i don't believe in god as you define him.

what was unclear about this? christianity (and by extension, you) define god as a sentient entity, and i do not.

i don't believe in the JC dog-and-pony show.

again, i ask: what didn't you understand? billions of people don't believe in christ.

i'm not a cut-and-dried atheist.

you said i didn't believe in god. i corrected you.

did you get that?

ARE YOU A COMPLETE ****ING IDIOT? We can believe Jesus existed without believing he was the son of god. Can you wrap your naive Christian mind around that?

Actually he was quite sharp. He made the perfect argument. So if you can at least acknowledge Christ's existence, then...

A-Jesus was telling falsehoods and knew it, and so he was a liar.
OR
B-Jesus was telling falsehoods, but believed he was telling the truth, and so he was insane.
OR
C-Jesus was telling the truth, and so he was divine.

The personal attacks continue. I suggest you edit your post, sir.

so you couldn't say that jesus isn't god but made some pretty good points about peace and loving your fellow man?

I will most certainly not edit my post.

I'm hoping you can read, and if so, you will see that I'm asking you, are you a complete ****ing idiot?

And from your previous posts, I'd have to say that "naive Christian" is almost perfectly fitting of you.

So...I don't see at all how that would be construed as a personal attack.
