That Atheist Blog

What i know is this
Many religions teach that God is a Trinity. They say that “the Father is God, the Son [Jesus] is God, and the Holy Spirit is God, and yet there are not three Gods but one God.”
The Bible does not even mention the word “Trinity,” nor does it teach that Jehovah is three persons in one.
Jehovah alone is God. First Corinthians 8:6 says: “There is actually to us one God the Father.” Jehovah is the Supreme One.

Jesus is, not God, but “the Son of God.” (1 John 4:15) Likewise, the holy spirit is not God. The holy spirit is not even a person. It is God’s active force.—Acts 1:8; Ephesians 5:18.
John 17:3 also urge us to have a knowledge about Jehovah the only true God who sent Jesus on earth.
That means there is a different between the creator and Jesus who is his son.

Good comment! Can I assume you are a JW? I have some questions for you if you are.

I MUST BE JESUS

According to Christianity - and you do have to know something about it, Christ was NOT born on December 25th he was CONCEIVED on this date. Even Christians know this but then most Christians especially American ones are only introduced to Christianity as a circus show of BS and lies and no preacher actually teaches scripture and is only out to get material support. Or sex. America.

Still it is in the Bible, Jesus was conceived on December 25th. That means, and if you are not too brainwashed into believeing that a virgin birth can actually happen - another misconception (if you know what I mean) then you might have a mind about how nature really works and that 9 amazing months later...........Mary had a baby. That would put Christs birth - a natural act, that can only occur after the natural act of procreation between two humans - at about August 24. MY BIRTHDAY.

I THANK YOU VERY MUCH
TW

@Julia so if I need something done... I can ask you ? LOL great post!

Hi JoLynn,
Yes my dear simply ask with your simple heart a simple thing and yeah it will come. For unto this parabalic formula for gettin' stuff from your order supplier (which must be God according to televangelists) is the simplicity of greed.

BOY! It's great knowing who I am. I was so mystified before and now I'm clear.

PS Dont you have something goin' on in the supernatural arena here in FB?

And hey peeps out there - it's not enough to chime in with 'yeah i like it' and 'that was great' -
You have to quantify it with an expression. Who What Why When Where and How was it great to you.

I your Lord am actually interested in knowing not just that you like a thing, say for example me but I WANT TO KNOW THE 62 REASONS WHY.

BLESSINGS
JC

Hi JoLynn,

I'm not here to argue with you. Believe me, i respect your opinion and i'm also not very fond of arguing about religion.

I don't comment much but i found this post interesting. First of all, i'm a believer (and i hope you can respect that). I believe that it's not about how real God is. It's more of Faith that makes Him real. There are people's lives being changed everyday and their faith leads them to believe that there is a higher power moving in their lives. I'm one of them.

Just waking up every morning, seeing the light of day and just being blessed by the people around me makes me believe that God is there.

Sorry if this contradicts your belief. I guess we all have different opinions.

See you around...........

@Marc - just because I don't believe in a God/Jesus, doesn't mean I absolutely do not respect anyone that does. Quite the contrary. I think that's beautiful comment actually!

@Julia Green - you totally rock and I can give you 62 reasons why! But I think Fanbox would run out of room - to answer your question (I thought you were all knowing wtf?) yes I am doing the paranormal thing too...

@Chris - no amount of feeling or faith makes a fact. And the absolute truth is that no one knows for 100%, I just know that there's a lot of verifiable evidence that doesn't point to God or Jesus being real and honestly, that shouldn't ruffle your feathers one bit that I don't believe. It's fine that you do if that's what makes you happy and fulfilled, I'm all for it. I just choose not to believe based on the evidence I've read. You choose to believe based on the Bible that you believe. Viva la difference :)

@Chris - You put a lot of thought into this didn't you? Am I afraid to pick up a Bible? I think not. Which version would you like to discuss? I've read many, but you have to tell me which version you're using so I know where to refer to.
I don't believe in God, I don't believe in Jesus. I believe the Bible is little more than a violent, bloodythirsty Bronze age book and I believe we'd be a lot further along as humans without religion mucking things up.

I will ask "God" if there is assurance I am saved from sin, guilt and hell. I had 60 seconds to waste... I think I could have asked the milk jug in my fridge and gotten same divine response.

@Chris - you dare me to read a book? Now that's hysterical. Okay if I have to read "Evidence that Demands a Verdict" - I want you to read "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins. I'll check out your recommendation however.

depend of what you believe

or don't.

@Chris -Thanks for your comments. And for the record, I'm not against Christians.
Trust me, there is no wall between Jesus and myself. I do not in any way shape or form believe in Jesus. It's not anything I feel remotely conflicted about. I'm totally cool if you want to be Christian and it makes you happy. You say with certainty that "Jesus believes in Me" I could counter with "The Flying Spaghetti Monster believes in you" and tell you I absolutely believe it. It's the same difference to me. I'm good without God and that shouldn't bother you one bit. Shoving your faith on people is a little arrogant, why presume I want to be like you? I'm happy as I am and I am not trying to change you.

God is energy, is light, is Peace and "who know what is it" the truth is that he is the one who created all these (including the Universe) and Jesus is his son (a piece of himself like a man) He sent his son to give us an example on how we should be, act, perform etc... That is all! I personally believe that many things that has happened in this world are the result of the wrong interpretation of messages sent bt God and maybe some other forms of life out there... There are sooo many things that does not have any explanation...A lot of things in the Bible are actually the answer for many of our questions. However Bible was written by men (men who were guided by Jesus) but they could make mistakes or have a wrong interpretation of God's teaching.
So we better stick to "Love your God and everybody around you, as you love yourself" LOVE is the key!

Good comment Mariel! And you know with or without God in the equation - I think everyone can agree - Love is indeed the key. :)

@Ange that's very true. It was originally to take over the pagan sabbat Yule on the winter solstice. It all gets into astrological at that point. It's interesting how many myths pre-date the story of Jesus and yet, mirror it.

Even if all of this IS true; it doesn't change the fact that he's real TO ME. It's totally cool is people want to believe what they want, to me, I answer for no one but myself. Far as I'm concerned, one day I'll stand before my creator and give account for myself- otherwise, what is the point in being a righteouls person? I didn't make me, that's fairly certain, and I have no control over where I go when I die (as every one does) so I figure it's better to err on the side of caution and be prepared. If I"m wrong, I've lost nothing; if I am RIGHT, I gain heaven and all that stuff.

@Heidi - I would say why not just be a righteous person regardless if there are consequences or not? Acting in love and doing the right thing is always the best. But I absolutely acknowledge your comment and I think it's great you feel that way. It sounds like Pascal's Wager almost and if believing gives you peace - I'm all for it!

@Chris - and then there are those of us that don't need religion at all. I don't believe in imaginary beings, I don't believe in magical thinking. I think prayers are mostly used for selfish purposes and absolutely useless.
I would never surrender my life to "God" - You wrote a ton of stuff that is all feelings, there is no way to prove and I mean with facts not feelings - one single thing you wrote about god, demons, Jesus or any of that.

Believing something doesn't make it a fact no matter how feverishly you believe it.

I prefer to live in the real world and do good things without the interference of religion. I don't have to worry about "Who is the REAL religion" and I can love my atheist, christian, Buddhist, Muslim, pagan and hare krishna friends equally. And that works for me. I'm not trying to convince you - Please stop shoving your religion down my throat - it's a little rude to presume I want to be like you. Because I'm happy as I am.

How can you obseve the world and not see God. How can you live and not witness devine intervention. How can you have purpose in your life walk without belief. The Truth is whether you believe or not. And your prayers will not be answered any more than a milk jug without belief. Why should you be granted any blessing without faith and works.

You seem determined in your not believeing so any scripture will fall on eyes that will not see and ears that will not hear. Good luck..

Also one major flaw in the presentation there besides Jesus being concieved in Dec, not born; is that during his crucifiction and consequent ressurection there were hundreds of thousands of people there. They gathered from all over for the trial and sentenceing. None of these witnesses have disputed the writings. And the fact that every detail of his life were written thousands of years before they happened. All witnessed by the people of the time. IDK about these other religions that were mentioned, but were they propheted and witnessed by all the world?

@James - I see the world as a beautiful place. The sky, the sun, the sunset, the sunrise, oceans, and every human and animal it - beautiful in my eyes absolutely without God. I'm more of a naturalist if I had to be given a definition.
All prayer are answered with "Yes", "No" or "Wait"... and if you believe you'll see any sign you want to that your prayer was answered.

I'm not asking anyone not to believe -believe all you want - just understand I do not.

@James - you asked" IDK about these other religions that were mentioned, but were they propheted and witnessed by all the world?"
I'll give you a great example, Hercules. Stories were told about him, people prayed to him, there were temples and he supposedly did miraculous healings of the sick. Once their society died, so did their Gods and now we know, Hercules was a myth. But at the time, he was very, very real to the people.

JoLynn,
I am not going to repeat what Chris White has said. He did an awesome job of supporting the true fact that God is the True and Living God. But what I would like to say is I know He is real because of my personal experience with Jesus and the power of God. You see, I am "suppose" to have a disease called "Postpardom-Cardiomyopathy" (a fatal disease unless a heart transplant takes place)---I am totally healed; Doctors ran different tests trying to find the problem, but could not. I am suppose to be scarred horribly from fire (I was engulfed in flames from the waist up and only ended up with singed hair to almost my scalp in places that took two hours to cut my hair to where it was a decent, but SHORT, hairstyle, despite the excessive uneven hair results, LOL! And of course it singed all my hair off my arms and eyebrows and eyelashes too. But, praise God, I did not have one burn! My husband watched in horror/and amazement as I dropped and rolled instantly when the outdoor grill exploded on me. He couldn't believe I wasn't burned/disfigured. I was in a car accident that could have been (should have been) fatal. I was under "highway hypnosis" and went diagonally through an intersection at at least 60 miles per hour , so the witness said. He said the car barely went between a light pole and tree and does not know how I fit through the space. Hitting the pole would have been fatal. Also, the car hit an embankment causing the car to go up in the air and going in the motion of flipping over, but he said he did not understand it but it flipped back up right and went back up straight and landed. With natural gravity/motion that was should have been unavoidable that was a Divine intervention/protection.
I recently (last year) was diagnosed with "Chronic Benign Neutropenia". I was sent to a Cancer doctor and they did all kinds of tests and could not find out the cause. All blood work was normal except my white count, which was staying seriously low. After 3 weeks of prayer and fasting I was totally healed. The doctor had scheduled me a recheck on my blood work on January 21 (The doctor's office had no idea, but that was the exact last day of my fast). The blood work came back within normal levels! The doctors and nurses were confused and amazed!
People who do not believe in God would try to "explain away these things". But I KNOW the God I serve. All I can say to you is, I pray that God will make Himself known to you in such a way that there is no doubt what so ever in your mind that He is the True and Living God Who sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to die for you to give you eternal life. Just like some of the Muslims (now Christians) testimonies that I have heard of: They did NOT believe in Jesus Christ, UNTIL He made Himself REAL to them, even appearing before them in open-eye visions and in dreams that changed their lives. They way I see it is that through all of these Christians pointing you to Christ, God is trying to get your attention. But He is a loving God and will not force anyone to serve Him, it is a choice. Regardless of what your choice is, God has always loved you and will always continue to love you unconditionally!

@praiseand Victor - WOW! What a story and thanks for sharing your experience and I'm glad your okay. Just because I don't believe in god/bible/jesus/religion does not mean I discount your personal experience, quite the contrary.
If someone believes it - that's good enough for me, I accept and acknowledge god/jesus is real for some individuals. But seriously, don't pray for me, it's kind of presumptuous to assume I would want to be a Christian. I'm deeply fulfilled and happy in my life as it is and there really isn't room for religion of any kind.

::::every tongue....even JoLynn's:::: hahahaha love that comment. You don't have to convince me Chris, I just don't do the imaginary friend thing. But the things you're presenting as fact is intellectually dishonest. I said it before and I'll say it again, a feeling isn't a fact. No one is trying to convince you to be anything other than you are - you want to believe hard and I don't believe at all.

@Chris - of course I throw it out the window - the window is FACT.
The window is real.
God is in fact not a FACT. You cannot believe something true.
Faith does not make a fact.
Belief does not make a fact.

Your reality is what YOU personally believe but you need to pull back a bit and remember that YOUR reality doesn't make something true for someone else.
Your reality that God is real to YOU doesn't make it so in the same for anyone else and pushing that on people is just rude.
Quoting the Bible to prove a point that God exists, doesn't do that.

In my humble opinion..God is one's perception and sometimes reality. Some share these perceptions as well as realities. Let's take it one step further though? What if there are many worlds within worlds? Each having God,angels etc... Would not they be considered differently? Just food for thought and the ramblings of an old soul...

Hey old soul, I like your ramblings :)

Nicolas - Hello! No one he here to change anyone else - just sharing another point of view about the reasons I do not believe. It's fine by me if someone does. No one has to prove anything to me :) again, just sharing things I like.
