What are the reasons for people negating the existance of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ? It seems like every other day someone here on mylot negates Jesus and our Lord God Almight. By saying that we're hiding behind our "religion" when we make mention of our Savior in our discussions. The devil has blinded many from the truth and he keeps them in denial.

We don't negate his existence. Atheists and Agnostics deny the fact that he was anyone special, because the only proof you have is a book written by a bunch of random guys. You can't prove that Jesus is anything but a normal guy. Oh, and we don't believe in the devil either. Where there is no good there is no evil. So what we believe is inconsequential. We don't force our religions on you, so stop forcing us to believe in something we don't want to. Maybe it is you who are blinded by the fairy tales that preachers and pastors tell to keep us from killing each other. I don't need religion to be a good person, believe it or not. I have straight-A's, and I do volunteer work on the weekends while you are condemning non-believers to your "hell". http://pandagon.net/2007/02/13/people-who-claim-to-love-jesus-write-me/ Read that. Tell a religious person (when they get in your face about your behavior or beliefs) that you find their religious beliefs to be wrong, silly, or goofy — he will beg his god to rape you. Religious people do just as many bad things as we do. Look at the priests molesting young boys. Look at the people that bomb abortion clinics. They are religious, forcing their beliefs on others. Maybe if you spent a little time outside of your church, you would see these things.

Totally agreed with LittleMs.Mrs. And ZoomZoom, it might not have been your intention to offend, but comparing someone to a swine is NOT a good way to keep a good impression about your religious beliefs.

You need to take that up with God Himself. In His Word He tells His people not to cast their pearls to swine. Check it out for yourself. I am only speaking from the Word of the Living God Almighty!!!! Check on it before speaking on it. You can agree with her reply all you want it still doesn't change the Word of God. God existance is not based on your belief in Him or not in Him. God doesn't need you to exist. He created you before the foundation of the earth.

[ignores the "Don't Feed the Trolls" sign in his head as he answers]. Here's a list: 1) Yours isn't the only religious belief in the world. There are Islamics, Buddhists, Taoist Monks, and countless more. They were shown different scriptures than you. They believe with equal fervor and passion that their religion is right, and those who don't believe it have been blinded/fooled. Who is right? Who can prove it? 2) People seek active, legitimate discussion. Folks aren't "negating" your deity, they're just asking for some kind of proof, *any* kind of proof, that it exists. "My holy book says" isn't "proof" -- your holy book was written by humans, translated by humans, and edited by humans. "Inspired by god" is nonsensical and doesn't prove a thing. You can't just say "well I *know* it's true and you can't ever prove me wrong" -- well, okay, you can *say* it, but it makes you look pretty silly. If no proof will ever convince you you're wrong, why would anyone ever bother wasting time with you? If *you* can't provide any proof other than "I can feel it in my *heart*!", why should anyone believe you or even listen to you? The point many are trying to make, which appears lost on you, is that "Jesus Christ" is *not* "our" savior. This fictional character may be *your* personal savior, but you do *not* speak for me, or for anyone else for that matter. No "devil" works its black magics on me. My *brain* is enough to work through the twisted web of hatred and deceit your religion is founded on to understand that it's as nonsensical as the rest. 3) You're noticing backlash against religions in general. You're preaching with this very post -- you're "telling people like it is," not asking any honest questions. Your "question" is bait, clear and simple, and is nothing more than a way to force your beliefs on others. I've seen many of your other posts here, and I *do* think you're hiding behind your religion. You don't answer any honest question with anything except "my bible says this" or "god tells me that." Not everyone appreciates being told by "disciples" like you that their beliefs are wrong, then hearing "because I said so" as the only explanation can offer. Worship your gods. Pray day and night for our souls. That's fine. Stop trying to force us to do it *with* you. Also, quit trying to pass laws to prevent us doing things you find unethical (abortion, stem cell research, etc.) or that force us to do things we don't want to do (i.e. teach our children "creationism"). Your religious beliefs are silly but harmless if you'd just keep them to yourself. The problem is, none of these religious nuts *will* keep it to themselves. That's why we work hard to debunk your myths and point out the flaws in your reasoning.

Lol aww..I end up ignoring the "Don't feed the trolls" signs often too..a good example being a few of Zoom's threads hee. Though, she's not THAT bad..better than some people I've spoken with or who felt it was their duty to attack me anyway. That is a wonderful list, Will. I think I'll keep a copy of it as well..to remind me we're not the only sane people left in the world -- or at least marginally sane. Hopefully. lol *is joking* You said it without sounding nasty too -- which is more than I've ever bee able to, so I'm going to rate you a plus..even though this isn't even my discussion..(thank Goddess). Good luck, Will, on mylot! I hope you enjoy this site for however long you choose to stay.

Yes, Jesus love me for the Bible tells me so. We're living in an upside down world, Zoom, where the non believers say that if I can't see it then won't believe it. But the Believers say I believe it so therefore I see it. I have heard and felt my Lord Jesus. And I see Him in my Christian brothers and sisters.

Maybe because they just don't believe in Jesus Christ. Everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion especially with regards to their own faith. Yes, sometimes, people can be so discriminating and offensive with their opinions, but as christians, we should learn to respect that no matter how hurtful they can be.

They say that we are hiding behind our religion mainly because they can't think of anything intelligent to say. They think that by saying that they are showing that they are too smart to be fooled into believing something that they don't understand. They are in denial, and it makes them feel better if they can make it sound like Christians are foolish for believing as we do. All through history, unbelievers have been trying to deny the existence and power of God and Jesus, and have claimed that the Christian religion is nothing more than a hoax. Now they believe that man has outgrown the need for religion, that the Bible is no more than a collection of fairy tales. They tell us that we can't prove the existence of God. We don't have to prove anything. All through history, no matter how hard they tried, no matter what research they did, and no matter how much science they used, the could not and can not prove that God doesn't exist. Nor will they, because there is no way to prove the unprovable, and the burden of proof is on them. How a person's goodness is measured is not by grades or deeds alone. It is also by what is in a persons heart. People can pretend to be religious, and still do things that are not Godly. It doesn't mean that the religion or God did those things, because evil deeds have nothing to do with God. The people that did those things were not Godly, they were merely pretenders. The Bible tells us that "the fool has said there is no God" and that "God is not mocked". The Bible also tells of a "Day of Judgment". I believe that all non-believers will reach a point where they not only believe, but will also know that there is a God, but then it will be too late. Casting pearls to swine is a Biblical reference, so any complaints, comments, or concerns about that comparison can be taken up with God, as those were His words. The reference to "turning the other cheek" is a valid one. It must be understood however, that there is a point where it is no longer required. There is a reference to Jesus going into the Temple and finding that moneychangers were using the Temple to conduct their business. He "rose up" in Righteous Anger, overturned their tables and drove them out of the Temple with a whip made from cords, saying that they had turned the Temple into a den of thieves. So yes, I do think there is a side to Jesus that a lot of people don't realize. As far as what a non-believer thinks or says, it is meaningless and of no importance, as are their foolish notions. If the way I believe offends someone else, so what? That's their problem not mine. These people claim they don't want religion shoved in their faces, and yet they come into a conversation like this one and start spewing their unbelief at everyone else. How hypocritical can someone get? If non-believers don't want to hear about religion and God and Jesus and things relating to them, then you shouldn't venture into conversations where these things are discussed. No one here is shoving religion in your face, instead you shoved your face into religion. If you don't believe, why do you even care if others do? What business is that of yours? The only thing I can think of is that you are seeking validation for your unbelief by trying to convince others. A lot of people may not believe in God, Jesus, or Satan, but they do believe in you.

The Bible tells us to "Trust in the Lord and not our own understanding". There are no flaws in the Bible, only in what people understand or choose to see. How is it that people try so hard to disprove something that they don't even believe? There is no way that someone who doesn't believe is going to find any answers in the Bible, because the proper mindset is not there. People have become so educated and prideful that they actually think they are more intelligent than God is. "Pride goeth before a fall"...yet the prideful ones still persist in fighting the impossible and proving the unprovable. Anyone who tries to disprove God to those who believe are just wasting their time and breath, and are actually being quite foolish by not recognizing this fact. This tells me they can't be nearly as smart as they would like to think they are. Here is one other thing to consider. In the impossible and unlikely event that those of us who believe in God are wrong, we have lost nothing. If those who don't believe in God are wrong, they will have lost everything. That then becomes the ultimate question and a major point for consideration. Which do you believe in, the Folly of Man or the Word of God?

I believe this person is seeking the truth. He's looking for the answer and the answer is Jesus. I love your reply. Beautiful. I love the part where you said "So yes, I do think there is a side to Jesus that a lot of people don't realize." Cannot deny it! This is where so many people and christian overlook or do not accept, or reject. Jesus got angry, Jesus told folks off. Jesus told it like it is. He didn't bite His tongue when it came to telling the TRUTH! Jesus is my exemplary example!!!!

You know, the bible has some major fatal flaws that help us not to believe. GE 1:3-5 On the first day, God created light, then separated light and darkness. GE 1:14-19 The sun (which separates night and day) wasn't created until the fourth day. GE 1:11-12, 26-27 Trees were created before man was created. GE 2:4-9 Man was created before trees were created. GE 1:20-21, 26-27 Birds were created before man was created. GE 2:7, 19 Man was created before birds were created. GE 1:24-27 Animals were created before man was created. GE 2:7, 19 Man was created before animals were created. GE 1:26-27 Man and woman were created at the same time. GE 2:7, 21-22 Man was created first, woman sometime later. GE 1:28 God encourages reproduction. LE 12:1-8 God requires purification rites following childbirth which, in effect, makes childbirth a sin. (Note: The period for purification following the birth of a daughter is twice that for a son.) GE 1:31 God was pleased with his creation. GE 6:5-6 God was not pleased with his creation. (Note: That God should be displeased is inconsistent with the concept of omniscience.) GE 17:15-16, 20:11-12, 22:17 Abraham and his half sister, Sarai, are married and receive God's blessings. LE 20:17, DT 27:20-23 Incest is wrong. EX 20:13, DT 5:17, MK 10:19, LK 18:20, RO 13:9, JA 2:11 God prohibits killing. GE 34:1-35:5 God condones trickery and killing. EX 32:27, DT 7:2, 13:15, 20:1-18 God orders killing. 2KI 19:35 An angel of the Lord slaughters 185,000 men. PS 78:69, EC 1:4, 3:14 The earth was established forever. PS 102:25-26, MT 24:35, MK 13:31, LK 21:33, HE 1:10-11, 2PE 3:10 The earth will someday perish. MT 5:39, MT 5:44 Do not resist evil. Love your enemies. LK 19:27 God is likened to one who destroys his enemies. They can't make up their minds! How can you believe something so HYPOCRITICAL?

I'm slightly disappointed to see the hostility in this thread. You did ask a perfectly reasonable question, however I'm more suprised at you. Acting defensive when folks were simply pointing things out. They really weren't trying to change you, how you write, what you believe, mostly just pointing out things. I did previously mention in another post of yours I replied to, that you are quite bold in the way you express yourself..and this is admirable. But there is a fine line between expressing yourself and inadvertantly sounding as if you're being..*tries to find the right word* Well I think you see my point..I hope? Please don't get me wrong. I don't believe your religion or opinions, are invalid. You're perfectly entitled to them. I'd also like to note that "Pearls before swine" was mostly about throwing your ideas before those who're unworthy, or words to fools who won't understand. But as your own Bible tells you, it is not for you to judge these things of others..to only notice if one is 'foolish'. One is not foolish to differ in opinion or viewpoint from you, hun. A fool is someone who is blind to logic..wouldn't recognize it if it hit him smack in the face. I don't tell people Jesus didn't exist. I believe he did. But I don't believe in him as God or the supreme power. Just like I don't put alot of stock in the Bible..it's been tampered with, and by all likelyhood it's probably far from the original version. Many things get lost in translation..anf the Bible is probably the foremost book to have the most reasons over history to get tampered with. But this is my opinion. It doesn't mean I never read the Bible -- I have. I've studied many religions, many holy books. I've strove my best to understand them to the best of my ability..and you know what I've found? That I tend to be able to outargue many so called members of certain religions which have been using their holy books and religions to attack or try to invalidate others' beliefs. Even if they think they know the books or religions well..they twist things, so they miss things..and I'm noy smarter than them necessarily, I just..pay attention -- which you can hardly call that as something brilliant to do. I have not seen many people claiming Jesus doesn't exist. Many people have stated their opinion that they don't believe in God on here, sure..but that's their opinion. The world is very big. There are many, many faiths..so mylot sees quite alot of different folks on here. You're probably luckier than I am though, I find more religious fanatics than the calm logicals -- athiests. Many christians are hiding behind their 'religion' when they try to win an argument which is very logical with throwin' in "God's can do anything he wants", which may very well be true but sounds highly childish to not follow the logic. Logic isn't harder than religion. Just like science isn't divorced from faith like sooo many people'd like to believe. One more thing, though I don't truly believe in the devil (at least not in the orthadox way), I believe he has better things to do with his time than to put people in deniel about things, regardless if they're true or not. Remember, Lucifer was prideful. He would not do anything he'd think was below him. Like demons, they usually need a reason to do things. People do well enough of a job messing things up without their help. Plenty of the fanatics and zealots do good enough job furthering people from any said faith..devils and demons don't need to do it. There is no denying that evil exists. It can't exist without good after all..the entire universe is about balance. 'Truth' is real, but true truth (ha) is one of the most mutable things in the world. A constantly changing, evolving thing. That isn't limited to one system, one point of view, one people. Lovely post.

Darlin' I didn't say I didn't believe in God. I just do not view her the way you do. As it is, I believe Jesus was a man, a child of God and was God in the way we all are -- the way we're a piece of God himself. (remember 'in his own image'?) Also, yes the devil from the christian Bible does come to steal, kill, defile, ruin, lie..I'm just saying he has bigger fish to fry than the common man -- though of course he'd screw with the occasional one to his own amusement. There are many foul things, but they're the making of man's choices. Many of which knew what the consequences were and longed for the results. Evil exists within every human being. But just because they do not believe something does not make them evil. As for judging..did you forget "Judge not lest ye be judged"? The Bible tells not to judge the individual..but to judge their ACTIONS and intent which mean far more than what they believe in, hun. I do not contradict myself in any way. I differ in my point of view and technically don't share your religion but that doesn't mean I don't think murder it wrong or that the world is truly infested with wrongs and corruption. As for the pearls before swine thing yet again, I've read the Bible..that verse, and what I said hasn't changed. In my opinion, and I'm sure you'll disagree with me, you're seeing differences and barrier where there shouldn't be and aren't any in truth. There are plenty of real ones which are ignored which are far worse than imagined "Mockeries of God". How can someone who simply believes in a different facet of a deity be a mocking a God they don't believe in? THAT'S a contradiction. I'm sorry you found my post offensive, that was not my intention. I was even partly agreeing with you. Partly. I'm also sorry I made you a bit angry, and that you feel it's your job to judge every living person and entity on the planet of any possible wrongs they may or may not have committed..such is a sad, dark task which I would not wish on anyone. Though I similiarly judge actions and intents, I prefer to respect individuals themselves. I did like your post, which is why I said it was lovely. But I suppose I should've known better than to compliment it.

You are contridicting yourself on every level. You don't believe in God. How can you say lovely post when you don't even know Him. You don't believe that Jesus Christ is Lord. The Bible says that Jesus is Lord and that every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord. You think the devil has better things to do than to deceive people. The devil goes around like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. The devil comes to steal, kill, and destroy. Let me share with you Matthew 7:6 "Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls to swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you." You said I am not to judge WRONG! Bible commentary for Matthew 7:6 Nevertheless, there is a kind of judgement that is necessary. Those who present the gospel must be able to JUDGE the difference between people who genuinely want to know about God and people who only want to mock and abuse. A person does not give good meat to filthy dogs, nor does he give pearls to pigs. (Bible Commentary) These two who are in disagreement have chosen to come onto this discussion to MOCK and ABUSE my LORD and SAVIOR JESUS. I must discern the spirits and they are not of GOD. They are trying to deny HIM and stir discord amongst GOD's people spew out absolute lies. GOD is NOT the author of confusion.

You have to keep in mind that your worldview is not the only one, nor the norm. Your religion and worldview is but one among many. When you talk about what you believe as if it was actual, undeniable fact and you say that those who don't have the same belief as you are in denial, you do sound very offensive and close-minded. And it does sound like you are imposing your belief on everyone else, whether that is your intention or not.

You know, calling someone's opinions "opinions", in quotes, and saying they don't mean anything to you, isn't a very good way of mantaining a nice image for your beliefs either. It only makes you seem REALLY intolerant about anyone who doesn't share your exact beliefs. And frankly, if you are not interested in other people's opinions, why did you create this discussion in the first place?

God always proves Himself true. No need to fight the truth the truth fights for me. You are entitled to your "opinions" they don't mean anything to me. It's all about what God says about me not what you may think or assume about me. "Shaking the dust off my feet".

I just wanted to say 1 more thing I think that god makes a difference between good and bad. Although all are created equal he cannot accept some are good and some are bad and gives punishment to those he feels are bad. The devil doesn't make the difference because everyone is bad so he doesn't judge the bad and separate them from the good. The truth is spiritual truth and to find the real truth you have to keep an open mind

If you're asking why so many people don't believe that Jesus is the Lord or Savior, I would say that's a fairly simple question to answer. Because they don't believe that Jesus is their Lord and/or Savior. It really is just that simple. The beautiful part about being individuals is that not all of us have to believe the same thing. We all get to choose what we believe. We all get to choose what we don't believe. I am not in "denial", I simply do not believe what you believe.

Right ~ it is my option not to believe in what you believe in. That is my option. It is my option not to bow. It is my option not to confess something I do not believe in. It is my option to say that I do not believe that Jesus Christ is my Savior. It is my option to say that I do not believe in the Bible. It is my option to say that I do not believe in your God. It is my option to say that I do not believe in any god. It is my option to that I believe what I believe. It is just as much MY right to believe what it is that I believe as it is YOUR right to believe what it is that you believe. Aren't options fabulous? On a side note ~ you asked why people negate Jesus as their Savior. I answered you. If you didn't want to know why people negate Jesus as their Savior, why did you ask?
