No, everyone is born Christian. Only later in life do people choose to stray from Jesus and worship satan instead. Atheists have the greatest "cover" of all, they insist they believe in no god yet most polls done and the latest research indicates that they are actually a different sect of Muslims.

[about a girl being born with mental disabilities]

Most afflictions like this are caused by sins committed while still inside the womb. If she can repent for what she does god will embrace her and make her as human as you or me but if she chooses not to she'll always be like this

[on the sunject of a Bible printing company]

The only thing I don't like about them is they sell foreign language versions of the KJB. I don't think that's right. We know the only true translation is the 1600's version in English.

It's too risky for anybody to translate that into other languages. Mistakes can creep in... and that can lead to heresy. True Christians should only read English.

To say the Bible was written by men and may contain inaccuracies completely contradicts the word of the Bible.

so you think if no one believed in any religion there would be no wars or fighting? i think it would be worse. i know if i didn't fear god's judgement i would have killed many many times.

Now some people might object to killing atheists for there (and obviously it is there and not thier as they are not whos but whats ) organs but think of all the full human persons that would benifit from the organs and the medical research that could be done on these non-persons.

Deoxyribonucleic Acid, for example... sounds impressive, right? But have you ever seen what happens if you put something in acid? It dissolves! If we had all this acid in our cells, we'd all dissolve! So much for the Theory of Evolution

There's a submit button, btw.


As a Christian, none of these resemble anything I believe, and I don't believe that any of these are quotes from real Christians.

They are likely quotes Mxy (who routinely parodies people he doesn't like) or someone like-minded with Mxy made them all up. If they piss people off, it's because they were made up with the intent to piss people off, to direct hatred at Christians, not because any Christian actually said them.

The only one that somewhat resembles an Old Testament Bible verse is the one about if a man rapes a woman he has to marry her. That resembles a verse somewhere in Leviticus or Deuteronomy. And keep in mind it was written around 1,400 B C. Written around the time Moses and the Israelites fled Egypt, and were in the Sinai desert or beginning to conquer Canaan.
I took a course in college in 1985 titled "The Bible As Literature", taught by a secularist Jewish professor in his 80's, discussing the literary structure and context of the times of the Bible. He explained that relative to the outside world, the language of the Bible was relatively more appreciative and respectful of women. It was a time of slavery, and women were basically regarded as property. So in the Bible (again: 3,400 years ago) that would have been regarded as providing some level of rights and protections and compensation for women that didn't exist in the outside world. Needless to say, Christians today would not not expect a man to marry the girl he rapes, or find that a reasonable compensation.

My college professor teaching the Bible course had a great sense of humor, and some interesting views. In one example, he regarded slavery as basically a necessity in the pre-industrial ancient world, to build things like cities or pyramids or colliseums or other great works of architecture. Other things like the numbers 40 or 7 also have recurring symbolic meaning in the Bible. 40 indicates a long or ideal time. Noah's ark was at sea for 40 days and 40 nights. King David and King Solomon each reigned for 40 years, symbolic of a long period, and of divine blessing. 7 again represents perfection, and God's blessing. The number 6 represents imperfection, and 666 (the number of the Beat or Antichrist of end-time prophecy represents imperfection empasized 3 times. Red robes or clothing represents wealth, and purple robes represent the highest wealth and position in ancient times. In some churches, the clergy still wear symbolic red or purple robes. Blood is a recurring symbol of animal sacrifices, and of redemption and salvation, and finally the Messiah. Just a few representative biblical symbols.

If these opening quotes are just for laughs, great, have at it. But if anyone wants to get angry at Christians for what they actually said, I recommend reading the Bible itself. Most Christians I know read the New International Version (NIV) or New American Standard Bible (NASB), and I recommend what's called a "study bible" that has an introduction for each book of the Bible, explaining literary, symbolic and historic context, and footnotes throughout for most verses, and explanation for words that often had a far different meaning in ancient times.

And keep in mind also how in 50 or 100 years (if there is still a human race and we haven't killed ourselves off) that future culture will look back at 2020 with scorn and astonishment at how barbaric and unenlightened we were.
