If Christians don't 'go on about their faith' then they are disobeying the Christ they claim to reverence.

The rest of your post is your opinion, to which you are, of course, entitled.
"for, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."

Most people will talk about what they consider to be right or wrong, and be happy to "impose" their views on other people once they believe the wrongness to get past a certain level. Religious or non-religious alike.

If a person's faith means anything at all to them, surely deeds are better than empty words, if they wish to have non believers seeing it their way?

The JW's think they are trying to save non believers from eternal death, that is why they proselytize.

As for the remainder, that is a typical Floo rant.

I don't apologise for my 'rant'. Some of these people are more evil than poor old Satan is reputed to be, in my experience!

What is your definition of evil?

Whilst the majority of Christians don't go on about their faith, and many do a lot of good helping others, there are others who claim to be Christians, but are nothing but WUMS, imo. There are the hell fire brigade who drool at the thought of others burning in hell for all eternity. There are the bigots who use the Bible as an excuse for their nastiness, particularly towards gays. Forums seem to bring out the worst in some Christians, who just love to wind others up, and refuse to turn the other cheek!
If you are anything to go by, Floo, the equivalent could be said about those without a religious faith.

Quote
If Jesus was everything they believe him to be, instead of long dead, don't they give a thought to the phrase, 'depart from me for I never knew you', which might apply to them too, as well as the heathen like myself?
I suspect that most of us have that idea in the back of our minds all the time.  I've referred to it often enough, both here and elsewhere.  But you need to remember that, as humans, Christians aren't perfect (though we are working towards that aim), and when comments that misrepresent Christianity and God - like many of yours do, by the way - fly around in the way that they do, it can be difficult not to become fed up with the attitude of the authors of such comments.

Deeds are at least as important as words, but for some people (believers and non-believers), they need the reassurance of words and logic.

How much experience of Satan and Satanic activities do you have, floo, so as to compare the two?

Have a care in your use of the term heathen to define yourself.

In modern parlence 'heathen' is a term used to define Pagans - or neo-Pagans - who follow the Norse or Germanic (Asatru) pre-christiqn deities and they would, almost certainly, not take kindly to your use of the term to describe your particularly virulent and unpleasant form of atheism.
The Holy Bible, probably the most diabolical work of fiction ever to be visited upon mankind.

Belief and logic are more often than not an oxymoron!

Never in my life have I met a Christian "drooling' about hell. They must all be living in Wales.

If they are, there must be very few of them.

Thanks, Floo, for that vivid insight into your attitude to the beliefs of others, you really are apiece of work, one of the most intolerant people I have had the misfortune to come across.

If Floo's comments on an online forum make her that, you really need to get out more.

Shaker, I would have to agree - at least to an degree with Matthew on this.  I have often found Floo to be extremely intolerant in certain aspects of her understanding of and attitude to Christianity: assuming, for instance, that the way she was brung up is the norm for Christian families.

Floo has a real hang-up about Christianity in particular.

A matter of opinion, that.  It's not healthy to have any hang-ups.

It's a matter of Floo's opinion and the opinion of innumerable people who have had a religious upbringing they consider to have been abusive.
