Why atheism over agnosticism?

[Munch]

CP, I hope one day you discover a more awakened development, you seem like someone who might one day question your own beliefs instead of the beliefs of others, and realise the faults in your own following of such a cult as christianity

The case that you say your only in it because it feels like your community, isn't an excuse however to be part of such a thing, because all that means is your wrapped around the want and beliefs of others instead of your own. People from middle eastern countries leave there own country because of the violence in those lands, their 'community' or religious zealots and barbaric animosity would more then likely kill them for stepping even slightly out of line, and that is living in fear, because of the beliefs and rules of others.

I do believe that Jesus died on the cross, rose on the third day

I'm sorry I can't let that one go.. You actually believe someone died, and rose from the dead after three days being dead.
Please, explain to me the science behind that, tell me how that could possibly be a reality for you?

The Church I am a part of provides free ESL classes (our town is 1/3 immigrants from Asia, South America), and helps fund humanitarian aide projects in South Dallas, I am willing to be a part of that

I heard of Jesus from Aaron Brockett in Indianapolis via Gospel
In addition to Tacticus, Pliny the Younger, James Ossuary

I agree with the philosophy of Jesus; helping people, self control, et cetera

Brockett gave a sermon about people who believe in God but haven't done much about it, asked if anyone wanted to Baptized
I did, and I was

Are you happy?
You gonna ridicule me now?

Yes, yes I am, you have yapped about jebus but then back track on the whole jesus is jesus thing and now you admit to some of some of some of something somebody said made you feel good about a guy named in a story about him being special and ………really? You think I need to ridicule you? You do enough of that yourself. You are not a christian of any sort, so stop that. You are like a fag…no…more like an albino..yeah an albino…thats it.. you yap about a jesus that only exists via the NT but proclaim that THAT jesus is NOT the jesus you speak of… YOU speak of a jesus that is spoken about in the babble but didn't actually do any of the shit in the babble except all the flowery stuff that you agree with….hmmmmm,  gee, I wonder why we get so confused about you so-called "christians"…….yeah.

well, good god then, lets all give you a fucking rose and a glass of water! Holy Crap a human being that helps others and wants to be honored for that……my gosh……


I await the onslaught from my brothers here for being so mean to such a wonderful human that brags about his willingness to help others…...

[Contemporary Protestant]

I don't want to be honored, I mentioned in regards to dogma. I am not so much associated with the dogma, I care more about helping others. I really don't see how attacking my personal beliefs furthers anything, the question of the thread was answered, and I think the conversation is over.

I really think answering questions about myself is worthless considering I want to ask questions, and I am not interested in proving anything. if anything can be proven

[aitm]

No it is not answered. Answer Munch. I want to know how you claim to be a christian but ignore all the "naughty bits"…please stand up and answer Munch.

The Law is simplified by the maxim "love your neighbor as yourself" I follow that maxim and thus follow the laws of the bible

Galatians 5:14

So by living by that phrase, I am obeying the Bible

(edit)
There is no proof that it happened, proof being defined as 100% certifiable
Past criticisms of the Bible have been refuted such as "Pilate and David do not exist"
So I do think that more evidence will be available in the future
But I don't understand how anyone can claim to know with certainty whether or not Jesus existed
I am an agnostic christian, because I am not totally sure, but I do believe it

This topic has been debated so much, and I doubt I will bring more to the table, so I implore you to lay this to rest

You did not answer Munch..please do so at your earliest convenience, and please take you time despite three requests…we don't want you to feel unloved.

I amended my last post

Whoa!! Now you are quoting the babble that you have previously stated was pretty much a bunch of whacko shit that you have dismissed in favor of some guy in Biloxi who said something about jesus being a sctientlologist or some shit like that? Really? Now you're going to say the babble is for sure the shizzle?

[Contemporary Protestant]

You are in violation of rule 10, by definition you are trolling

You post brings nothing to the table

It is only meant to evoke an emotional response

If that idea--the golden rule (which I like myself)--is a good guide for you actions, then christianity does not own it.  The GR was around long before any thought of the Jewish religion, much less christianity.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Rule---checkout that site with literally hundreds variations of the GR.

I am aware of that, Confucius coined it, (so i think?)

I was only answering a question

I have stated the obvious, as all of my posts have been.  There are 3 billion christians in the world all yapping the the stuff you are except many of them kill other people for not accepting the same mythology they do, many have a live and let live attitude and then are are some like you, that walk around pretending to be a christian while saying you do not follow the babble but in reality you do, but you don't here or there, but you do here or over there and some think this is all cute and cuddly because others in history were very polite while they ignored the death of thousands because the people in charge were proper christians……

I think everyone in the forum is aware who the troll is. You cannot be a christian and call the babble bullshit and hold jebus up as an example of humanity and then dismiss the definition of him in the babble as …meh…..yeah. I think everyone with a brain knows who the troll is.

Even those without too much brain power knows who a roll is, they are the idiots that come here!  Solitary
