Nero Became Demon Possessed After Paul's Testimony?

[Tassman]

No death, no pain, no evil, no suffering, sounds great! Maybe fundy atheists are too busy looking for the catch? Other then the clearly stated increased risk of persecution and trouble in this life(is it really a "catch" if it's a clear disclaimer), there aren't any downsides. And what is a few decades of the school of hard knocks compared to an eternity in the presence of God?

The European wars of religion, the Crusades, Puritans vs the Established Church or the social disputes and religious rivalries of today, indicate that the differences are not necessarily as trivial as preferred types of chocolate.

Are you seriously contending that the "social disputes and religious rivalries of today" are in any way comparable to "the European wars of religion, the Crusades" or even the "Puritans vs the Established Church" from many hundreds of years ago?

Forgetting those things which are behind, I press on..... Satan and his minions will always try to drag a Christian back to the past, but Paul (who used to slaughter Christians) advises it's time to move on.

[Cow Poke]

You're just an anti-Christian who loves to cause division. You must be a riot at parties.

Christians are responsible for their own past behavior are they not.

He that 2,000 years ago. But still Christians owned slaves, discriminated against blacks and homosexuals, disenfranchised women and saw nothing wrong with depriving millions of indigenous peoples of their land and culture etc. etc. etc.

What happened?

I guess I must be just one of Satan's minions, right?

[Cow Poke]

Christians are responsible for their own past behavior are they not.

Christians have done bad things, absolutely, but I am responsible for my own actions, not those of people thousands of years, or even hundreds of years ago.

If the hoof fits...

[Tassman]

Christians have done bad things, absolutely, but I am responsible for my own actions, not those of people thousands of years, or even hundreds of years ago.

So, there have been no eternal moral truths exhibited by Christianity down through the ages, just individual actions perpetrated by the likes of CP.

Sin.

Oh,

If the hoof fits...

It seems that the cloven hoofs belong to sinning Christians, not to me.

[rogue06]

The cloven hooves belong to those who revel in their sin.

[Tassman]

The cloven hooves belong to those who revel in their sin.

But not to those who, with scriptural justification in the name of their deity, disenfranchised women, owned slaves and etc. etc. etc.

You're working overtime at trying to sound like an idiot when you really don't have to.
