I first posted this "testimony" to the web on July 27, 2001. If you too have found Christianity specifically, or religion generally, to be less than satisfying for any reason, please consider posting your own "testimony" to this site by clicking here , or message me by clicking here. I t is invariably a shock to Evangelical Christians to come across someone who has turned his or her back on the “faith was once delivered unto the saints.” Most believers will quickly dismiss an ex-Christian by piously pointing out that anyone who turns away from Christ was never a real believer. Or, as an insider might say it, “They were never born again.” There is Biblical support for the assertion. 1 John 2:19, which addressed the problem of First Century apostates, states that: “They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us....
This guy's hilarious. He sums them all(the desert spawned religions) up perfectly.

ReplyDeleteHello all, I found this link from another poster on the the Richard Dawkins site. It's the comment page for Marcus Brigstocke where you can leave a happy note to offset his hate mail.

ReplyDeleteNice to hear someone telling like the rest of us would like to. It is about time we stood up for our rights.
ReplyDeleteThis guy is smarter than 99% of people I know. Way smarter. And funnier too.
ReplyDeleteYou know, religion is the man made rules and regulations one does gymnastics through to belong to a particular group of people. If you look , it was "religious people" that killed the "Messiah". I tend to believe that there is a Creator, that He is love, that He wants HIS creation to thrive, but can't stand men or women that try to oppress and rule over HIS creation. Hence, He gets P.O.'d and we all suffer. Try loving a person, not because they can do something for you, but that you can do something for them. Then you know you truely love, because you don't get anything back in return. In other words, sacrifice your comfort for someone else and see how good you feel.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
