"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....

ReplyDeleteI enjoyed that, and it does remind of the kinds of arguments theists try to make. Not that I'd be inclined to believe in either one, but I'd sooner believe in Santa Claus than any god. At least I've SEEN Santa Claus. Although the last time I saw him, it was the local country club Christmas party. I sat on his lap for a picture, and my bf swears that when I leaned in innocently enough to give him a peck on the cheek, Santa tried to slip me some tongue.

ReplyDeleteHey SkyBone,
ReplyDeleteI hope you don't mind but I grabbed what you wrote about Freud and post it on my Face Book page.
"But I have emperical proof that Santa exists..."
ReplyDeleteI love Mr. Deity.
"Turn your omniscience on for a second!"
Hahaha
The "rational and loving gods" I was referring to are the ones that, indeed, I HAVE created from my imagination, godfree (clever name!). And I agree that they ARE better than those from the bronze age - or from any other age for that matter.
ReplyDeleteI have an imaginary music god, too. But, music is so powerful that a music god almost seems to exist. But, I do know better.
Still, music is as close to the numinous as anything ever gets, I think, especially when I'm playing with and for people I love.
I don't mind, psychman. Do good with it.
ReplyDeleteHey, maybe she's an Episcopalian. Who knows. She can't be Fundamngelical because she is married to Mr. D, so she has to be a liberal Xian of some sort who doesn't buy into the bizarre thinking.
ReplyDeleteBecause I see these videos as being very instrumental in showing how ridiculous some christian beliefs are and she is instrumental in displaying that. Yet she is still one?
ReplyDeleteWhy? It shouldn't kill it for you or it doesn't for me.
ReplyDeleteI love Mr. Deity skits.
ReplyDeleteSkybone, there ARE no rational & loving gods, but go ahead, create some. They're bound to be better than those from the bronze age.
ReplyDeleteLucy is cuter than a bug!
ReplyDeleteI think Amy is, but she plays Lucifer- AKA Lucy.
ReplyDeletewell, that kind of kills it for me...how?
