"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....
Nice video. Personally, I don't believe in a burning hell and would never threaten anyone with it for any reason. I do believe in a paradise though - which is pretty much the absence of all the non-sense that faith blinded people follow - in other words, total peace of the grave is heaven for me man - perfect peace profound - its natural and its easy, no worries no pain.
ReplyDeleteHow ironic, he looks like Jesus* OH...NO....HE'S...THE ANTICHRIST!!
ReplyDeleteRUNNNN AWAYYYYYYYY!!!!

Concise an to the point. Unarguable. I was disturbed that even Colin McGinn on the Athiest Tapes could say something like:
ReplyDelete"I would have liked religion to be true... I'd like there to be rewards for those who have been virtuous and punishments for those who've not been virtuous - especially the punishments would be good..."
OK, maybe he's got a point, but eternal punishment? Not even someone a billion times worse than Hiltler would deserve that.
OK... So your thinking, "Who's Hiltler." Sorry - typo.
ReplyDeleteHell yes bro! Its nice to see that the tactics of fear and guilt have not worked on one such soul :)
