Lord Jesus Christ, I thank you for this day you have given us. I thank you for my life and the lives of all the people in the world. I thank you for dying on the cross for our sins, Lord Jesus. We are simply unworthy of your salvation, Father.
Lord, I pray that you give us the strength to resist satan, for I know that he is very much alive and working in this forum. I pray that you give us courage, so that we may look him in the face without fear. And Lord, I pray that you give us the wisdom to make right and fruitful decisions.
Lord Jesus Christ, help us refrain from saying or posting stupid things in this forum. I pray that you give us time to humble ourselves, Lord, and not be fearful of the truth. Lord, I also pray that you forgive us for our sins, Father, and guide us on the right path to Your Glory.
All these things I pray in Jesus Christ's name.
Amen.

Taken from a christian standpoint talking about how great we are is considered messed up. I mean, they believe that humans are fundamentally flawed- that people are naturally bad.
They are wrong, but what can one do against such a worldview.
I'm not a bad person. Ergo, people are not fundamentally bad. (because I am a people.)
I dont expect the aetheists of kmc (or any in particular) to be able to understand the concept of salvation. To not oppose wisdom with mockery, just as the soldiers who crucified Jesus did when they said, "If you really are the Son of God, save yourself" or when they put a crown of thorns on His head and said, "behold, the king of the Jews"
Its happening all over again, but on a much larger scale this time.
Father forgive them, for they know not what they do. They really dont...

But c'mon, as honestly and politely as you can, tell me what you guys believe in, since you all seem to believe that you know about how things came to exist more than i or any Christian would know.
Enlighten me, please...

I believe that the Universe (and beyond) are so amazingly complex that to even wager a guess as to what it really is bascally ridiculous. I do put faith in the scientific method, due to it being time and time again being shown to work and help advance human society. As such I don't see any prove within this Universe as to a creator that ever interfered. Meaning, I do, pretty strongly, believe that Christianity is nonsense. You have to make quite a few additions and "that's just metaphorical" to make it even fly theoretically. I am not saying there is no creator, I am just saying I don't even understand what the hell "I" am, why I believe I am the same I was 7 years ago when everything has absolutely changed...the world is extremely complex and wild guesses and blind belief are to me the most idiotic approach towards understanding it. You have exactly one belief system....there are an endless amount of different belief systems, and there is NOTHING, not one piece of empirical evidence to suggest that yours is in any ways superior to any other.
So, I am agnostic, I guess...and atheist when it comes to most of the Christian Gods as people belief in them. So, I believe I am superior to you in my view as I don't claim to know the truth, as I realize the inherent doubt a human must have in a universe where all he has are his five senses and the ability to compute information...especially when you witness the senses being jaded and conclusions that have been evaluated to be incorrect.
And please try to get all you want to say into one post. We have an edit function for you to use, quintuple posting is frowned upon. Thanks.
Kinda condescending, isn't it? I'd say most on this forum, of any belief, can fully comprehend what you're saying. They just disagree with it, and don't appreciate being talked down to like a petulant child.
