Dear Believer
by Dan Barker Dear Believer, — You asked me to consider Christianity as the answer for my life. I have done that. I consider it untrue, repugnant, and harmful. You expect me to believe Jesus was born of a virgin impregnated by a ghost? Do you believe all the crazy tales of ancient religions? Julius Caesar was reportedly born of a virgin; Roman historian Seutonius said Augustus bodily rose to heaven when he died; and Buddha was supposedly born speaking. You don’t believe all that, do you? Why do you expect me to swallow the fables of Christianity? I find it incredible that you ask me to believe that the earth was created in six literal days; women come from a man’s rib; a snake, a donkey, and a burning bush spoke human language; the entire world was flooded, covering the mountains to drown evil; all animal species, millions of them, rode on one boat; language variations stem from the tower of Babel; Moses had a magic wand; the Nile turned to blood; a stick turned into a snake; witches, ...

A god nor jesus never wrote any part of the Bible, so you're just repeating something that a bunch of mentally insane people wrote down over 2000 years ago. It has absolutely no meaning, and no basis for truth.
celestials1938, you're just a brainwashed fundy troll.......
Oooppps - off the menopausal hell for you..
And besides, how are you supposed to know which deity will be there on judgment day? Suppose it is Allah, but why is it your fault that you weren't born and raised in the Middle East and you deserve to burn in hell for eternity?
Or what if the ancient Greeks were right and Zeus is the supreme god? No matter what you do, you'll burn in hell anyway, so just life life to its fullest without the threat of religion.
It is obvious you think you are clever and well-versed in theological discourse. But here is how your rambling postings appear to us…
"Catchy, provocative title meant to titillate". Blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah…(inserted bible verse that may or may not have anything to do with prior blah-blah-blah.) More blah-blah-blah-blah-blah. USE CAPITALIZED LETTERS TO DRAW ATTENTION TO SOME SCRIPTURAL GOBBLEDEGOOK TO MAKE CELESTIALS1938 APPEAR INTELLIGENT!
Blah-blah-blah-blah-blah…(regurgitate another bible verse) Ending blah-blah-blah-blah-blah, but make it appear that Celestrials1938 had a deeper understanding of scripture than the last fundamentalist troll that posted here.
Then close with blah-blah-blah@msn.com – that Celestials1938 doesn’t respond to.
You don’t take hints very well so let me say it straight out…Your postings are not welcome here. GO AWAY, permanently!

Can't take hint? Scram!
Any further comments to him are a waste of time as far as I'm concerned.
First I point out that the two things that I enjoy doing more than anything else are solving problems and helping people. Then I point out that, in heaven, there won't be any problems to solve and nobody will ever need any help. While hell, on the other han, must have lots of problems and a gazillion people just begging for assistance. So, ultimately, I would be able to do much more good in hell than I ever could in heaven.
Then I ask them why they want to go to heaven and what good deeds they intend to do when they get there.
For is i not said that "it is easier to make mantecinni without eggs than for a christian to enjoy a meatball sub".
