Let's not be the ones to judge those who post hateful comments. Let the Lord judge them, after all are you any better to judge those who have sinned. All people have sinned the same, and in the end God will pass judgement, It okay to make debates i guess, but wouldn't it be better to just be obedient in the Lord and worship him? :)
I guess you can agree or disagree to anything, but it's just my thought :D
guys we need to stop arguing with ppl tht post dumb comments! they only come on here to start one...Gods word says in proverbs 26:5 "do not answer a fools folly..."
I get the privilege to play the lead electric for this song TOMORROW. Sooooo excited. Oh yeah, and I'm 15. Just thought I should throw that out there. God is MORE than Able. <3
God is with us, He is on our side. He will make a way! Far above all we know, far above all we think. He has done great things!....OUR GOD IS ABLE!!!!
Know what its the blood of Jesus that cleanses,forgives and gives eternal life...
Its the precious love of Jesus that saves us no matter what - religion, community, church we belong to... Its actually a relationship with God that matters rather than the so called "religion" we humans debate on.......
Hey, cant you guys stop fighting over such things.. People who dont believe in Christ should be made to believe by your actions and verbal usage. You cant be a soul-winner by arguing/debating/abusing but by the love that Jesus showed us that day., instead of fighting we could PRAY about those souls which are lost and with God all things are possible.. With a faith of a mustard seed when a mountain can move into the sea then even the athethist will believe who Jesus is.......

@ausGeoff1You seriously disgust me If you dont like the song, then dont watch the video, its as simple as that. .Oh and you being atheist and all need to consider the fact that you're most likely going to Hell someday so honestly why would you even look this song up if you're not christian or any other religion that believes in God and actually wants to get to know Jesus and go to Heaven someday. So like i said earlier, KEED YOUR HATE COMMENTS TOWARDS GOD OUR FATHER TO YOURSELF! kay? thanks :)
"Oh and you being atheist and all need to consider the fact that you're most likely going to Hell someday..."
"Hell" is only a fictional construct developed by the Christian hierarchy in an attempt to keep the believers in line. ALL religions rely heavily on the 'fear factor'. It's NOT a 'real' place where dead people literally burn for eternity! If you truly believe that, then you're disregarding all 21st century science in favour of Dark Ages dogma. How sad.
@167Dancer —As I've said NUMEROUS times before here, I did not "look this song up"! Please read my earlier postings.
My argument is centred on the "Hillsong" organisation insidiously posting their dogmatic viewpoint all over the internet under the guise of allegedly propagating good music for (gullible) kids to listen to.
The argument as to the existence of god (or otherwise) was actually introduced by Christian respondents, and NOT myself (if you check back all the comments).
@ausGeoff1 My bad but i dont wanna look at older posts... but what do you mean (gullible) kids to listen to ? because im only 14 and I listen to this and i love it
@ausGeoff1 Oh and by the way.. Hell is NOT a fictional construct developed by the Christian hierarchy in an attempt to keep the believers in line. Its a real place i dont care who you are go read the bible alright yeah im only a teenager but im still a huge believer in God and when someone like you gets on here and starts all this, it really ticks me off okay? so the best this for you to do is get your sorry butt off of this video and stop comment because you're only making things worse kay? kay
@167Dancer — You claim that hell "is a real place". And your supporting evidence for this belief is...? Or do you simply accept uncritically the dogma of your church?
You also say of people like me "it really ticks me off". Are you really incapable of having a philosophical discussion without getting angry? Do you not think anger may distort your perceptions of reality?
AFIREwithin played this song for us as well as many other songs at the ONE event in my hometown and hearing this song and worshiping with Brock Gill changed my life.. ive made my choice in life. i want to know Jesus and I want to go to Heaven someday.. this song is truly the best song ive ever heard. it inspires me
@ausGeoff1 ...is it okay to rap about sex, drugs, gangs, and getting drunk? Cause if those are your standards, this world has become even more sad than I believed it had.
@kikischultz13902 — I'm sorry... I must have forgotten the part of my comments that said (illicit?) sex and alcohol and gangs were okay by me?
Or are you simply unfairly putting words into my mouth? I'd appreciate your quoting those specific comments you attribute to me. But you won't be able to will you?
It's also interesting that you equate atheists' morals with those of the gutter-dwellers. Why cannot atheists have identical moral ethics to Christians? Christian hypocrisy again?
@ausGeoff1 Saying that everything is "Christian hypocrisy" is about as immature as it gets. This is an awesome song sung by an amazing band. If you don't like it, don't listen to it. Simple as that. Apparently that's a hard concept for you to grasp, but really. No one is forcing you to listen. I happen to think all of lil' wayne's songs are disgusting, but see, some of us know how to act like adults and not troll for an internet fight :)
If you'd read my earlier posts, you'd have noted that I have NOT watched this video!
And I certainly DO know how to partake in philosophical debates, which is exactly what I'm endeavouring to do here. It seems though that most "Christians" are simply telling me to go away, rather than providing any empirical evidence for their belief in the supernatural (IE: God). It's also interesting that Christians inevitably reduce EVERYTHING to the "fight" between good and bad. Sad.
@ausGeoff1 You know what's sad? When a guy tries to start what he considers a "debate" because he has nothing better to do than bash other people's beliefs. Hate to tell you, but you cannot believe in nothing, which is what atheists claim. It's the easy way of saying "I don't have the courage to put my faith in anything so I'll just pretend like I don't care". So no, you certainly DON`T know how to partake in a philosophical debate. Because if you were, you`d sound like someone over the age of 2
@ausGeoff1 If you really believe in nothing, you should back off and stop pushing your arrogant attitude on people who did nothing to you and a band that is loved by many. Because even if you're right, and there is no God, who cares what we believed? We won't get punished because there will be no one to punish us. But if we are right, and God does exist, well... you're kinda in deep crap :P
@ausGeoff1 oh one last thing. debates and arguments are good. it shows that we can help u and show u what exactly we believe in. but please be more open to our answers. becuz, if u r not open to our answers, in the end only quarrels and hatred will be shown.
@ausGeoff1 How in the world can you say you are not trolling this thread?! You post a hate comment on a song that has done nothing to offend you unless you seek it out. You can call us hypocrites all you want, but you are doing the exact same thing. So I don't know how you think you're better than us.... as for the number of copies of this song, I don't hear you complaining about how many dozens of pointless videos are posted with the newest Rihanna or Eminem song are on here...
— Uh... Eminem-style songs are a totally different, unconnected issue compared with subversive religious proselytizing.
You're simply trying to blur the lines here. "Hillsong" is a rabid, fundamentalist, extreme right-wing group attempting to "spread the word" with music rather than preaching from pulpits. They simply hope the kids won't see their true message buried in catchy songs. Dangerous stuff in a supposedly enlightened society.
@ausGeoff1 Your complaint about how one version of this song being posted on youtube would be enough is unreal. What's even more unbelievable is that you completely dodged my point (a typical atheist arguing strategy). There are songs that have hundreds of versions posted on here, yet no one is complaining about them, no matter how disgusting and inappropriate they are. Your claim that Hillsong is "rabid, fundamentalist, extreme right-wing group" is actually comical. Seriously, grow up.
Why is it that every song I look up By Hillsong or Matthew West, there is someone or people trolling for an argument? If you want to make a point, have a meeting with CNN/BBC or something. Please not on a video where people seek hope and love. :/ I know for a fact that arguments can be prevented if someone just ignores the video. I wish upon a day when everyone stops bashing each other's belief...
@lman6415 —I for one am certainly NOT trolling this thread.
I'm simply positing an argument that Hillsong are insidiously indoctrinating us - particularly young people - with their single-minded fundamentalist viewpoint by flooding YouTube with this song. There's more than a dozen examples of this same song here - why is that? Wouldn't one be sufficient?
It's also of interest to me - as an atheist - that Christians, given a chance, are more than eager to "bash" atheists. Hypocrisy anyone?
@ausGeoff1 hey! firstly, i dun think that this is posted by hillsongs themselves, but ppl who love worshipping God through their songs. secondly, we are not forcing ppl to believe in what we ourselves believe in; which is Jesus. I do agree that there are christians that are bashing atheist in many ways. but do forgive us as we are human after all. our mission is actually to share the good news with non-believers. to believe or not is ur own choice. we are here to share, we are not convertors.
— "I wish upon a day when everyone stops bashing each other's belief..."
I wish for the day when Christians stopped hating atheists with such determined vigour! I guess that'll never happen in my lifetime though. This hatred of course typifies the Christian hypocrisy of "loving thy neighbour" and "forgiving their sins". Ha!
This is - in the real world - the very last thing Christians will ever do LOL.
@ausGeoff1 Christians don't "hate atheists with determined vigor". If you feel that way, then you got some crazy crap going on in your head. However, when atheists deliberately write hate comments on a loved song, you are asking for the protests. Every atheist that has a huge problem with Christians is constantly looking for a way to call us hypocrites. You said atheists can have identical morals as Christians. So are YOU loving other people and forgiving someone who's offended you?
@ausGeoff1 And at least Christians try. For some reason, this world has come to believe that Christians think they're perfect. That's the last thing we think. However, we are saved. And we try to live by God's standards. Pretending like God doesn't exist is like a child running away from home. They think it'll be better if they didn't have someone to answer to and were "independent". There's my theory of what atheists are. Just like a teenager looking for an easy way out. They learn eventually..
@ausGeoff1 Funny you say that because you probably shouldn't be looking towards man to pass your anger, your telling me to love my neighbor as myself but yet you come over to my comment just to bash it. I do wish on a day when we all love each other. Not all Christians hate Atheists first of all, that is just a dirty stereotype. Not all Christians are hypocrites, that's just a stereotype. If you are an Atheist there is a lot of stereotypes I could bash you with Punch line: Not even religious!
What kind of truly compassionate entity (God) would force perfection upon us, without allowing us to tell the difference between the horror we see on this earth and true perfection?
@sdubbert55 he doesn't force perfection on us ..he gave us perfection before us sinners sinned against him there in the garden of eden. Our God loves us that is why he gives us a choice to be saved by him or follow the wide destructive path down to hell, its up to you and me.. I've made my choice, I hope you have too. :)
@GodOurFreedom: I love your words...so kind and special. I love the words you said about God, so beautiful! It makes me feel that peace on earth will be here! :)
@sdubbert55 If god forced perfection upon us then why would you be calling him an entity if we had perfection forced upon us you would be worshiping him just saying i will be praying for you hoping that you come to realize that jesus christ died upon a cross for you me and the rest of the world because we are sinners and that you see hell is real
YOUR god is (allegedly) able to halt the murder of children, the rape of women, world wars, abject poverty, famines and disease and yet he CHOOSES not to. Although he's all-powerful! What sort of truly compassionate entity would allow that? How can YOUR god condone the death of even ONE innocent, AIDS-infected baby and NOT care? What a bastard of a god that would be... if he existed.
@ausGeoff1 I understand what you're saying. God never wanted it to be like this; when Adam and Eve sinned, it cause the Devil to be the God of this world. 2 Corinthians 4:4 The god of this age(devil) has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God." God cares about each and every one of us. That is why He sent His only son to die for us; He knew terrible things would happen but gave us the choice
@ausGeoff1 our God is a good God. because man sin right from the start, all these things happened. but because Jesus died for us, we can choose not to let this things happen to us. God loves us and of cos it is his will to not let these things happen. And its a gift to us - He sacrificed his life for us. however, if one puts a gift on the table, and people dont take it, that gift does not belong to him. God does not force the gift on u. cuz he gave us free will:)
OUR GOD IS ABLE!!!!! do u believe our able God if so try telling some1 2day about how our God is able to make good out of any and all situations in our lives ^.^
@ausGeoff1 How dare I? That's not rude in the slightest way. I'm merely asking you to not post your hate on the page of a song that is clearly loved by so many people. Take it somewhere else. Again, you're looking for a fight on the internet which is about as immature as it gets. So please drop it. God bless.
@kikischultz13902 — Ha ha... this is classic! A true christian telling me to go away because I'm "immature"! How is it that your god hasn't given you the reasoning abilities to defend your beliefs logically and assertively? Is this really your best philosophical shot? Oh dear.
I'm endlessly bemused at how easily christians get upset if their beliefs are ever questioned. It seems that in their view of a "democracy" nobody else is allowed to have a conflicting opinion of their ideals.
@ausGeoff1 and you seriously need to be a little more mature and just keep some things to yourself. because im not scared of you in any way possible but comments like yours offend me along with many other Christians. because like i said when it comes time for you to face God, you're going straight to Hell dude im sorry but really? you dont need to be hating on God, he's truly amazing and so is this song so leave.
It's always about riling up a Christian then using that age old line, "That's not very Christian-like". We all make mistakes, but honestly, if you don't like the song, don't look it up! It's an amazing song, sung by an amazing band. Keep your negative opinions aside and stop trolling for an argument.
@kikischultz13902 I didn't "look up" this song as it turns out. It's being flogged by the Australian media such that we can't avoid it! And it's NOT an "amazing song" at all. It's simply another piece of pro-Christian propaganda disguised in a palatable form for innocent kids. And how dare you tell me to keep my "negative" opinions aside? Or is this your standard Christian defence with anybody who disagrees with you? Tell 'em to go away? Very Christian I'm sure LOL.
@sunnypig05 Please don't patronise me with your suggestion that Christians should pray for "these people". And just what, precisely, can your all-powerful god do? Apart from ALLOWING global famines, tsunamis and earthquakes, worldwide wars, infanticide, rapes and murders, and pandemic diseases? And you really need to Google "intercessory prayer" if you truly desire 21st century enlightenment.
@ausGeoff1 I think you should listen to this song: youtube.com/watch?v=OsNr5mCeWYA. Just saying. I just don't like to debate but just listen to the song or go to another video.
My God is able. I want you to know that Yahweh made everything perfect it was called Eden. Instead of living happily we chose to turn our backs on God. As a result of our sin the earth was cursed, that's why you have global famines, tsunamis, earthquakes, world wide wars, infanticide, rape, and murder. I hate those things just as much as you do. They make me angry beyond words. But I am constantly reminded that I have the choice to become consumed by the sin of this world, or choose my able God
@sunnypig05 Agreed...by arguing with these people, we will run the risk of turning them away from Jesus...let God convict each person that has posted negative comments on here ♥♥
This sort of insidious religious proselytizing is totally unacceptable in a secular country such as Australia. The fact that less than 10 per cent of religionists attend church on a regular basis is more than enough proof that religion is a spent force in Australia. To release a (boring) song about a totally fictional paranormal event, without acknowledgment as such, is deception at its worst. We should NOT be subtly indoctrinating our children with bogus dark ages dogma in the 21st century!
@ausGeoff1 you're entitled to your own opinions on God and whether he exists. However, the blatant disrespect of a group of artists who are trying to worship their God and provide a culturally relevant means for other Christians to worship as well is bigoted and discriminatory (not to mention immature.)
And as for this being insidious or "subtle"... holy cow buddy, uh, the name of the song is "God is Able"!!! It doesn't get any more overt and clear.
@reyshenry Ha ha... this is a typical "Christian" response from someone not prepared - or ill-equipped - to have a meaningful dialogue with anybody who dares to question their blind faith in the supernatural or paranormal. And also typical of your hypocrisy is that in one breath, you're saying I'm (apparently?) entitled to my opinion, bur later on tell me to "shove it"! Charming I'm sure. (PS: Love the "due respect" bit LOL.)
@ausGeoff1 you are entitled to your opinion; this does not mean you should convey it in a rude and impolite manner!!! Fine, call the song boring, tell the world God doesnt exist, etc. but keep the immature insults to yourself. So yes, take your nasty tone and shove it.
We don't see Christians posting on atheist bands (like 30 Seconds to Mars or the Script) youtube pages mocking atheism and calling them bogus!
@reyshenry Uh... you don't see the irony of your response? You choose to describe MY comments as "immature", "nasty" and to "shove it". Presumably you see this as a polite response? Whatever happened to Christians turning the other cheek? Or is that simply another myth from your holy book? And why may I ask are Christians so afraid of us atheists and so defensive? Surely your god will smite us as he sees fit? Or is your god so powerless that he needs mere mortals to defend him? Amusing.
@ausGeoff1 You said, "Why may I ask are Christians so afraid of us atheists and so defensive?". We are not scared of you, we are scared for you. We don't want you to end up in Hell. God is able to save you. Will you let him? For more info, please watch my video about salvation. God bless
@ausGeoff1 Christians get offended by comments like yours. You think Christians are stupid because they believe in something they can't see! God thinks you're a fool for not believing in Him. You can't explain faith in God, faith has to be discovered! If you refuse to seek God you won't find Him. Perhaps one day this will all change for you and something will trigger faith in your life. This happened to me when I was 29 and have something to live for!
so funny how non-believers post random nonsensical comments on every Christian video I see:p

I do agree that there are christians that are bashing atheist in many ways. but do forgive us as we are human after all. our mission is actually to share the good news with non-believers. to believe or not is ur own choice. we are here to share, we are not convertors.

— "I wish upon a day when everyone stops bashing each other's belief..."
I wish for the day when Christians stopped hating atheists with such determined vigour! I guess that'll never happen in my lifetime though. This hatred of course typifies the Christian hypocrisy of "loving thy neighbour" and "forgiving their sins". Ha!
This is - in the real world - the very last thing Christians will ever do LOL.

@ausGeoff1 Christians don't "hate atheists with determined vigor". If you feel that way, then you got some crazy crap going on in your head. However, when atheists deliberately write hate comments on a loved song, you are asking for the protests. Every atheist that has a huge problem with Christians is constantly looking for a way to call us hypocrites. You said atheists can have identical morals as Christians. So are YOU loving other people and forgiving someone who's offended you?
kikischultz13902 6 months ago
@ausGeoff1 And at least Christians try. For some reason, this world has come to believe that Christians think they're perfect. That's the last thing we think. However, we are saved. And we try to live by God's standards. Pretending like God doesn't exist is like a child running away from home. They think it'll be better if they didn't have someone to answer to and were "independent". There's my theory of what atheists are. Just like a teenager looking for an easy way out. They learn eventually..
kikischultz13902 6 months ago
@ausGeoff1 Funny you say that because you probably shouldn't be looking towards man to pass your anger, your telling me to love my neighbor as myself but yet you come over to my comment just to bash it. I do wish on a day when we all love each other. Not all Christians hate Atheists first of all, that is just a dirty stereotype. Not all Christians are hypocrites, that's just a stereotype. If you are an Atheist there is a lot of stereotypes I could bash you with Punch line: Not even religious!

What kind of truly compassionate entity (God) would force perfection upon us, without allowing us to tell the difference between the horror we see on this earth and true perfection?
sdubbert55 6 months ago
@sdubbert55 he doesn't force perfection on us ..he gave us perfection before us sinners sinned against him there in the garden of eden. Our God loves us that is why he gives us a choice to be saved by him or follow the wide destructive path down to hell, its up to you and me.. I've made my choice, I hope you have too. :)

@sdubbert55 If god forced perfection upon us then why would you be calling him an entity if we had perfection forced upon us you would be worshiping him just saying i will be praying for you hoping that you come to realize that jesus christ died upon a cross for you me and the rest of the world because we are sinners and that you see hell is real

YOUR god is (allegedly) able to halt the murder of children, the rape of women, world wars, abject poverty, famines and disease and yet he CHOOSES not to. Although he's all-powerful! What sort of truly compassionate entity would allow that? How can YOUR god condone the death of even ONE innocent, AIDS-infected baby and NOT care? What a bastard of a god that would be... if he existed.

@ausGeoff1 I understand what you're saying. God never wanted it to be like this; when Adam and Eve sinned, it cause the Devil to be the God of this world. 2 Corinthians 4:4 The god of this age(devil) has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God." God cares about each and every one of us. That is why He sent His only son to die for us; He knew terrible things would happen but gave us the choice
93ilovejesus 6 months ago
@ausGeoff1 our God is a good God. because man sin right from the start, all these things happened. but because Jesus died for us, we can choose not to let this things happen to us. God loves us and of cos it is his will to not let these things happen. And its a gift to us - He sacrificed his life for us. however, if one puts a gift on the table, and people dont take it, that gift does not belong to him. God does not force the gift on u. cuz he gave us free will:)

@ausGeoff1 How dare I? That's not rude in the slightest way. I'm merely asking you to not post your hate on the page of a song that is clearly loved by so many people. Take it somewhere else. Again, you're looking for a fight on the internet which is about as immature as it gets. So please drop it. God bless.
kikischultz13902 7 months ago
@kikischultz13902 — Ha ha... this is classic! A true christian telling me to go away because I'm "immature"! How is it that your god hasn't given you the reasoning abilities to defend your beliefs logically and assertively? Is this really your best philosophical shot? Oh dear.
I'm endlessly bemused at how easily christians get upset if their beliefs are ever questioned. It seems that in their view of a "democracy" nobody else is allowed to have a conflicting opinion of their ideals.
ausGeoff1 7 months ago
@ausGeoff1 and you seriously need to be a little more mature and just keep some things to yourself. because im not scared of you in any way possible but comments like yours offend me along with many other Christians. because like i said when it comes time for you to face God, you're going straight to Hell dude im sorry but really? you dont need to be hating on God, he's truly amazing and so is this song so leave.

It's always about riling up a Christian then using that age old line, "That's not very Christian-like". We all make mistakes, but honestly, if you don't like the song, don't look it up! It's an amazing song, sung by an amazing band. Keep your negative opinions aside and stop trolling for an argument.
kikischultz13902 7 months ago 2
@kikischultz13902 I didn't "look up" this song as it turns out. It's being flogged by the Australian media such that we can't avoid it! And it's NOT an "amazing song" at all. It's simply another piece of pro-Christian propaganda disguised in a palatable form for innocent kids. And how dare you tell me to keep my "negative" opinions aside? Or is this your standard Christian defence with anybody who disagrees with you? Tell 'em to go away? Very Christian I'm sure LOL.

There's no need to argue with these people. We all know what our Everlasting and ever powerful GOD can do. Let's just pray for them.
sunnypig05 7 months ago 31
@sunnypig05 Please don't patronise me with your suggestion that Christians should pray for "these people". And just what, precisely, can your all-powerful god do? Apart from ALLOWING global famines, tsunamis and earthquakes, worldwide wars, infanticide, rapes and murders, and pandemic diseases? And you really need to Google "intercessory prayer" if you truly desire 21st century enlightenment.

@ausGeoff1 I think you should listen to this song: youtube.com/watch?v=OsNr5mCeWYA. Just saying. I just don't like to debate but just listen to the song or go to another video.

My God is able. I want you to know that Yahweh made everything perfect it was called Eden. Instead of living happily we chose to turn our backs on God. As a result of our sin the earth was cursed, that's why you have global famines, tsunamis, earthquakes, world wide wars, infanticide, rape, and murder. I hate those things just as much as you do. They make me angry beyond words. But I am constantly reminded that I have the choice to become consumed by the sin of this world, or choose my able God

This sort of insidious religious proselytizing is totally unacceptable in a secular country such as Australia. The fact that less than 10 per cent of religionists attend church on a regular basis is more than enough proof that religion is a spent force in Australia. To release a (boring) song about a totally fictional paranormal event, without acknowledgment as such, is deception at its worst. We should NOT be subtly indoctrinating our children with bogus dark ages dogma in the 21st century!
ausGeoff1 7 months ago
@ausGeoff1 you're entitled to your own opinions on God and whether he exists. However, the blatant disrespect of a group of artists who are trying to worship their God and provide a culturally relevant means for other Christians to worship as well is bigoted and discriminatory (not to mention immature.)
And as for this being insidious or "subtle"... holy cow buddy, uh, the name of the song is "God is Able"!!! It doesn't get any more overt and clear.
So with all due respect, please shove it.
reyshenry 7 months ago
@reyshenry Ha ha... this is a typical "Christian" response from someone not prepared - or ill-equipped - to have a meaningful dialogue with anybody who dares to question their blind faith in the supernatural or paranormal. And also typical of your hypocrisy is that in one breath, you're saying I'm (apparently?) entitled to my opinion, bur later on tell me to "shove it"! Charming I'm sure. (PS: Love the "due respect" bit LOL.)
ausGeoff1 7 months ago
@ausGeoff1 you are entitled to your opinion; this does not mean you should convey it in a rude and impolite manner!!! Fine, call the song boring, tell the world God doesnt exist, etc. but keep the immature insults to yourself. So yes, take your nasty tone and shove it.
We don't see Christians posting on atheist bands (like 30 Seconds to Mars or the Script) youtube pages mocking atheism and calling them bogus!
reyshenry 7 months ago
@reyshenry Uh... you don't see the irony of your response? You choose to describe MY comments as "immature", "nasty" and to "shove it". Presumably you see this as a polite response? Whatever happened to Christians turning the other cheek? Or is that simply another myth from your holy book? And why may I ask are Christians so afraid of us atheists and so defensive? Surely your god will smite us as he sees fit? Or is your god so powerless that he needs mere mortals to defend him? Amusing.
ausGeoff1 7 months ago
@ausGeoff1 You said, "Why may I ask are Christians so afraid of us atheists and so defensive?". We are not scared of you, we are scared for you. We don't want you to end up in Hell. God is able to save you. Will you let him? For more info, please watch my video about salvation. God bless
ExtremeFaithInJesus 7 months ago
@ausGeoff1 Christians get offended by comments like yours. You think Christians are stupid because they believe in something they can't see! God thinks you're a fool for not believing in Him. You can't explain faith in God, faith has to be discovered! If you refuse to seek God you won't find Him. Perhaps one day this will all change for you and something will trigger faith in your life. This happened to me when I was 29 and have something to live for!
