I know that I am not a Christian but even I, a Pagan, am getting more than a little fed up with you. You are a real "one-trick-pony", and topics that you start are monotonously repetitive - everyone on this forum knows that you are about as rabid an anti-Christian atheist as it is poossible to be.

To be honest I am amazed that any of the Christians on the forum are bothered to even read your topics. I certainly shall not be in the future; responses, yes, possibly - topics, NO!

There are some Christians who do a lot for others, but would probably do so even if they were non believers. However there are other Christians who think they have done their bit by running off at the mouth about their faith, but do nothing practical to help those in need! Deeds are much better than words, imo.

As a Christian what do you do to help others in need?
Mind your own business.

Considering how very nasty some aspects of Christianity are, and how much violence it has caused over the years, that is twaddle, Sass!
OK, Floo, and I've unuccessfully challenged you to this before, please provide 3 or 4 examples of (very) nasty aspects of Christ's teachings?
Are your, or your friends'/relatives', garages, lofts or sheds full of unused DIY gear, sewing/knitting machines or fabric and haberdashery stuff?

I was taking about the Biblical god not Jesus, who was all human and no sort of god! However that guy was far from perfect too, just like the rest of us, and I have often pointed out things he supposedly said and did which were crazy. Telling people to leave their responsibilities and follow him was not sensible. Cursing the fig tree was silly. Trashing the Temple was vandalism. Frighten the pigs over the cliff, when playing exorcism hocus pocus, was cruel to the pigs and detrimental to the farmer, who lost his livelihood! Will that do?

Sending people to hell is pretty nasty, isn't it?

Well I think so, especially if they are good people and their only 'crime' is unbelief!

Revelations 19

“And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war”, “His eyes were as a flame of fire”, clothed in a vesture dipped in blood“, and “out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.””

Not that nice.

Obey or else!

He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. Matthew 10:37


If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children,and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. Luke 14:26

Whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. Matthew 5:22
Yet he often called his critics and disciples fools.
Ye fools and blind. Matthew 23:17, 19
Ye fools. Luke 11:40
O fools, and slow of heart to believe. Luke 24:25

God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. Matthew 15:4
Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death. Mark 7:10

Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. Luke 12: 5

Sounds more like a mafia boss.

If you want a direct quote from Jesus:

"The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth."  Mt. 13: 41-2.
They were the footprints of a gigantic hound!

Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men ... whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come. Matthew 12:31-32, Mark 3:29, Luke 12:10

I think the Holy Ghost is a complete and utter tosspot.

That's me done then.

Can I repent now?
