"A Sabbatical?" or "My Anti-Testimony"
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....

I do wish he'd leave genitals out of his script, it would be just as good toned down a little. I was going to send this to my fundamentalist leaning daughter, but ...
The donations to Ex-C keep a real, live web server running. (Read the "No True Christians!" link and fork over *your* ten dollars, please.)
Televangelists claim to be using the money to do the work of their god... An intangible, invisible, omnipotent, omniscient being that supposedly has the physical resources of the entire universe to draw upon.
If you can't distinguish one scenario from the other, you really need to get out more.
Yeah, and most of these same tel-evangelists are shysters like Pat Robertson, Mike Murdock, Robert Tilton, Benny Hinn, Paul and Jan Crouch.
At least the donations are used to do something useful with this site, unlike the crooked Tel-evangelists who line their pockets with greed in the name of some God.
You need to think about the stupidity of your statement.
I think I will commit suicide so I can be with him sooner, because my life on this planet is so pathetic that I need a spiritual crutch to lean on.
Some people may not endorse suicide, however Jesus committed suicide by having himself crucified. After all Jesus did want us to follow his example.
I'm a genuine born again loser for Christ.
Hallelujah! Praise God! Amen!
Sorry to hear about your daughter. I have one, already fundy too, but she's way too old for me to influence - unfortunately. But, you know, in most countries the word prick is no big deal. It's only in this puritanical, repressed American society that it would be concidered too much for a teenager.
His message warrents the chance of offending her.
Peace
