Views from an E-Atheist

Another message board I go to, posted this. It's an article from an anti-christian who points out the stereotypes of Christianity.

I'm very dissapointed with the world whenever I see an article like this, and I am vastly outnumbered to evangelize anyone there. The Best I could do is just give my AIM Screen Name and if anyone wants a good lecture, then they should message me.

My faith is in God alone, but I wish for everyone too.

Most of the arguments are ad-hominen.

As I stated in another thread, we can not force any atheist to believe. This atheist is prejudiced against Christians, he stereotypes them. We cannot change him. Anyone who dislikes another person without ever having met them to me is not worth even knowing. Since he used to be a Christian and rejected it, there is really not much we can do. He knows and has rejected it.

This is garbage, and you should know better. You and I have talked about over-generalizations in other threads; you should see this as a great example of one.

Fair enough, taken out of context.

Jesus was a crazy Rabbi, who owned nothing, kept nothing, and wandered from town to town preaching a message of community and peace. If someone can’t eat, no one eats. He left his entire existence in the hands of a God that he said would reward him for good behaviour. He survived that way for a few years, before the rich and powerful got tired of him and had him killed. But he wouldn’t have survived half that long if he had been living in their uptown neighbourhood. Jesus hung out with the worst crowd you could ever dream of. Never forget, the Christian savior lived with the modern day equivalent of whores and drug addicts. And he loved them, and gave them everything he had. He shared everything to the point where he was probably as skinny as they show him (even though we know he wasn’t the Arian people paint him to be).

I do not agree with his perspective on Jesus in some parts. Perhaps the most important thing, was that he knew that one could get into heaven via FAITH ALONE. And up there, it says, "He left his entire existence in the hands of a God that he said would reward him for good behaviour"

The whole thing is the product of a VERY confused individual.

You don't read too thoroughly, do you. I SAID THIS CHRISTIAN (I have put it in bold), meaning that one person. Read more carefull next time.

Did anyone at least go to the site linked? Even I couldn't get away with that one. Scroll down.

In order to 'evengelize' the atheist who made that post, first you have to see the truth in what he posted.
The sad thing is, christianity today in a broad general sense is nothing like the christianity that Jesus and the apostles represented.
We couldn't begin to carry that cross!
I don't agree with alot of the things that the poster said christianity should be because I know that Jesus wasn't a pacifist, and He didn't go around promoting a humanistic agenda.
Those guys were stoned, beat, jailed, and killed for the gospels sake, we can't begin to understand that kind of 'christianity' or love for God in a country where there is 'fullness of bread'.
Alot of the churches today are so very far removed from true biblical christianity and are more focused on programs that offer nothing more than humanitarian efforts with a religious flavor.
I'm not saying I agree with everything the atheist on the forum had to say, clearly he lacks understanding in some areas.
But I can understand how he came to be in the position he's in.
We can't fool the world, they are seasoned when it comes to authentic and counterfeit.
I rebelled for years because of how christianity was represented to me, yet God was faithful to set the record straight.
I pray He will do the same for others who have a heart to know Him.

Hi fResH. I went to the link you referenced and skimmed down it. IMO. you don't have to comment to them. If you want to post anything, post the evangel. the gospel: that all men are sinners; that Christ died on the cross on their behalf; he was buried and was raised from the dead by God the Father through His power. Faith in this results in being a new creation, with love, joy and peace beyond imagination; and assurance of being co-heirs with Christ in the celestials.

Otherwise, the end is death. Then at the proper time, being raised to stand before Christ on His throne, to give account for all your deeds.

Reasoning with such atheists does nothing.

It is the gospel that is the power of God unto salvation.

This is basically an uneducated rambling about something just to stir up reaction... Well, I will humor you for a minute and react...just a minute though, I have to go to work.

Jesus did hang out with a bad crowd, but if you read his words it is the sick who need a doctor, not the healthy.

Jesus loved everyone... true. That is one point where I see christians failing today. Love your enemy. Just because someone does wrong, or partakes against you, doesn't mean you should hate them, but you should help them. You make it sound as if Jesus was a fool for doing this.

As for the last sentence of your first paragraph..... The proper spelling is Aryan not Arian... and only foolish militants portray him as an Aryan. Jesus was a Jew, a direct opposite of aryan.

"He left his entire existence in the hands of a God that he said would reward him for good behaviour"

Jesus never said that God would reward him, or anyone else for good behaviour. Jesus taught that the only way into heaven was through him...the son of God and one true messiah. He preached good behaviour but that comes as a by product of faith in Jesus.

You dont have to use soap to take a bath, but once you get in there it just makes sense.

I will keep an eye on this thread, cause I am interested in any responses. I am going to work now, but I will check this forum tonight when I get home.
