To refer back to your original post..... [......] That include Christians because we also have a stern, deep grasp on faith that is steadfast in God. That does not make us Zealots. Because we are not swayed into changing our faith just like fashion changes every season, we are now fundamentalists? Ha
I agree...
What makes you a Zealot is your stern belief that everyone else who has a different point of view from your own is "evil" and "worthy of going to Hell"

My religion and faith is in God and His Word. If He says that by rejecting Him you are part of the world that is wicked and evil then I believe it.
This unquestioning belief that all those who do not share your view of the world are "evil", is what makes your mindset not only close minded but dangerous.
How can you not see that ?

No, I'm not a fan...
You do not have to change your beliefs at all, especially not for me. Why should you care what I think? I certainly don't care what you think...
However, when people with your same mindset rise to power they often aim at controlling the populace and silencing opinions and influences that do not coincide with thier own. THAT, my freind, is non progressive.
If someone with my mindset was in charge, I would let everyone beleive what ever they want, and live as they wish....with only one rule:
Do not harm other people (or protected animals)
Yeah, that makes me SO EVIL doesn't it ? 🙄

O, and God does not require me to proof His existence, He gave us instruction to bring the Gospel to people. There is no need to do anything more as His word is proven by the thousands of people being saved daily and the miracles that happen when people pray for the sick just as He said that it would happen. See Mark 16:15-18
I know he doesn't, but how do you expect me or another Agnostic/Athiest to beleive that your FAith is correct when you have no proof of that assertion?
Do you honestly expect me and everyone else who is skeptical to just DROP our own philosophies, change our own ways of life, because YOU SAY SO ?
Let me guess...ur gonna say "No because GOD says so"
Prove to us then that GOD really said so....the Bible is not proof, as it was written by mankind..there is no proof that God wrote the Bible, nor that he exists....
You can believe whatever you want, but if you EXPECT the rest of us to beleive what YOU beleive, and have no validation to give us for changing our own ways of thinking, then you're a fool.
BTW....those testimonies are evidense but not proof....
Many many people, Christians, pray to God for thier illnesses to be cured, and still suffer and die.
There are also many mysterious incidences where a person's terminal illness dissapeared, but NO prayer was involved...
