The Christian agenda within the US military- Chris Hedges

[TwoPointsUp]

God (or the gods, Elohim), if he/they are even capable of "anger", seems to be angry at intolerant religionists, polluters, conscriptionists, war-mongers, haters, greedy Wall Street, materialists, dogmatists, the close-minded, etc.. since that is a majority now, at least in the West, and especially America and the mid-East.. How will you religionist feel if things meltdown and the "Left Behind" dogma doesn't happen? Will u still retain your sanity?

@MrMultiwatchman

It's always sad to see people with such low self confidence that they believe anything said with a hidden agenda, like some parental figure is coming to save them from responsibility and make everything wonderful forever.

@MrMultiwatchman You and every other doomsayer throughout history

[jimtrueblue99]

@MrMultiwatchman So why is God out to get only America? What's he going to do with Canada? They have have marriage, you know. Is Canada going away? How about Great Britain? The Netherlands? Sweden? Norway? South Africa? Is it only Americans who irk God?

[jimtrueblue99]

@MrMultiwatchman So floods, storms, and tornados are new in your neighborhood in May 2011 and have never happened anywhere before? Financial problems are nothing new. Have you ever heard of the Great Depression? The recession of 1920? The panic of 1907? Need I go on? And gay people are a wonderful blessing and thankfully have been with us always making the world a better place. The answer is obvious: you're clueless.

@SamaelTePersigoaTi Christianity has always been anthropomorphizing the Divine. Human do this to EVERYTHING: pets, winds (angry), mountains (majestic), ETC. There is NO reason to NOT do this with Deity. Of course He's outside our understanding. Of course He existed before time. What should amaze you about Christianity is its predictions of: A beginning of time, Special Creation of Universe, Life, Man; the uniqueness of Man and Earth (enough to be visited by God-Jesus) All STILL true.

@SamaelTePersigoaTi AZ shooter has never been diagnosed. His mental state is inconclusive. But we know the mentally unstable often participate in their own instability by allowing destructive thoughts to control them. This is why we, all humans, are at risk of horrible actions. We must corral our appetites and ambitions. I CANNOT find ONE Atheist who is able to provide a standard of human behavior on which all men can be judged in a civilization. Libertarianism REQUIRES a moral people. 

[fdzwes]

Atheism is not a worldview, but merely a belief in No God. Thus, it can't become a worldview. No civilization can ever be formed on this belief. Indeed, none has ever been. Myth (explanation unprovable) builds civilizations. Atheism always seems accompanied by "We know what we're doing without God/Myth" worldview, which is ALWAYS destructive. Mao, Stalin, French Revolution, on and on. HORRIBLE destruction. I say, be Deists if you can't stand Christianity so much. Leave Myth alone.

@SamaelTePersigoaTi These terrible acts you describe are wrong and should be severely punished if convicted in a court of law. Christianity does not make provision for lust or other uncontrolled appetites. Our excellent system of government is designed to separate the victim from the executioner so that the victim MAY personally come to terms with the offense, totally separate from the State's need for punishment. I hope you will be able to find peace about this one day.

@SamaelTePersigoaTi It is as if you never knew that Mao Ze Dong and Joseph Stalin were Atheists who ACTED on their Atheism to implement policies that devalued human life and led to the killing of MILLIONS on MILLIONS of innocent victims. Horrible, unspeakable crimes. Mass graves are still being discovered in former USSR TO THIS DAY! I read about the 7M project as you suggested. It is ONE Christian attempt to gain control of USA's culture, a right and ambition many people groups employ.

@SamaelTePersigoaTi You know VERY little about me. You make generalizations at an extreme level. I know other people that do this. They are very prejudicial, hate-filled, and usually CANNOT control their thoughts. They are being driven by an uncontrolled negative momentum in which Atheism is used to justify. Authentic Christianity, I have found, is a true alternative for this, namely Eastern Orthodox Christianity. Wiki: Orthodox Christian Psychotherapy

Christianity is impossible to do well. True religion MUST be! The only ones who MIGHT be doing it right are those who feel like total failures, but keep trying!!!! You're rants do NOT critique Christianity. So have no reason to abandon Bible study and prayer. Your Atheism is NOT a well-developed alternative world-view. In your case it appears to be based on a bad experience you had. This is not a reasonable response.

[fdzwes]

@SamaelTePersigoaTi I can respond now. But cannot do long dialog with you. Look, Christianity is an ancient, extremely well-developed sophisticated worldview. It spans thousands of years. It is robust. AND it happens to be well-documented in a book called the Bible. All variations of Christianity are subject to this ancient standard. You are in America. Enough judging Christianity by bad Christians. You KNOW they are bad. You can judge man's behavior. In the end, Christianity is .....

[fdzwes]

Hate and Atheism is a crappy life. All Atheism is, practically speaking, is hate. Go to famous Atheist lists. See how many humanitarians, interventionists, philanthropists identify themselves as Atheists. Now check to see how many were Christians. The contrast is STRIKING!

[fdzwes]

@SamaelTePersigoaTi Yet. You don't shoot people yet. But you too are at risk. If you don't like the best religious understanding of an imminent and transcendent God, namely Christianity, come up with a better one. You do not have reason to hate. Atheism and hate is a soul-destroying mixture. Add Isolation and you have a ticking time bomb. I see two in you already. Your rant suggests you may be alone as well. Dude, get a grip. DO NOT HATE! Find a better way!!

AZ shooter had embraced Religion Hate and Nihilism. There are a TON of guys out there just like him. Some reading this post.

[fdzwes]

@scottricerules He participated in his own instability. He was a religion hater who embraced Nihilism. He never got his questions answered, but instead allowed his HATE to control him. I love how Religion Haters love to put all the world's evils on Religion, but when one of YOU crazies kill SIX people the rest of you act like his religion hate had nothing to do with it.

[somethingdiffereable]

He wasn't a religion hater he was a fundamentalist christian a true christian full of all the delusions and all that.

[fdzwes]

One of you Religion Haters just mowed down 6 innocent people and almost killed a US Congressman. When will you people stop the hate!? You're getting as bad as Muslims.

[Shadowlit001]

I was in the Army and there was all kinds of Christian propaganda bullshit. They gave us free copies of the book, "The Purpose Driven Life" by Christian homophobe and bigot Rick Warren.

Needless to say, me and the other non-Christians threw that shit away. Well, one guy kept his and used it to wipe his ass when the portapotties would run out of toilet paper out in the field.

God doesn't even have to pour out any "supernatural" attacks on mankind--we are doing it to ourselves and wooolahhhh prophecy is fulfilled! In psychology it's called "natural and logical consequences," in the Bible--Revelation...
