Authority?

Alam mo po Mr. Cruzado, the bible like any other religious book has no authority over those that don't believe its contents. Parang ganito...

Whatever is written in the Bhagavad Gita, stays in the Bhagavad Gita. Maaaring makapulot ako ng mga good moral lessons that I can use on my everyday life pero hindi ako affected ng stories na nakasaad sa mga pages ng Gita, unless ofcoure I have a very keen interest with the lives of those people in the time the Gita was being written.

The same with your bible po. There are good stories, irrational narratives, and ancient superstitions found in the pages of the bible. Maybe if I have an interest in the study of ancient Semitic culture, but mas interested ako sa ancient Egyptians than ancient Hebrews po eh.  But just like any other old book, I criticize the folly, inconsistencies, and errors of the bible. If this book is "inspired" by a god as the writers of Timothy imagined, obviously they were worshiping an ignorant god.  Sabi ko nga, it's a hobby.

By the way, I was born in the 20th Century po so I am more into the democratic system of government po, not on some ancient "Might Is Right" tribal form of leadership so I'm not really into this uh, "Lord is commanding me." bullshit. Hindi po ako nakatira sa serf and I don't have any so-called "Lord" commanding me what to do.  

Masyadong Assuming

 Hayz! Masyadong assuming si Paul. 

Personally, I was not affected by the words of a certain Joyce Pring. (Sino po ba yun?) Another idiot on the Internet is not much of a surprise. 

What surprises me is the intolerance Christians like you and Ms. Pring are capable of spewing out of your mouth. It's so easy for people like you and Pring to condemn people who don't believe your belief. 

Oh my, how cringy. 

Is the Gospel offensive to me? Not at all. Just like other common ancient books, if I don't like what I read I can always put it down and look for better literature. Hayz, but I guess persecution complex is a common trait of Christians like you. You always thought people give too much fuck and persecute you because of your religious belief. 

Hohum.

Get Out Of Jail Card

Do you know that serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer (who killed seventeen men and boys) is now in heaven for accepting Jesus as his Lord and Saviour before being beaten to death on November 28, 1994 by Christopher Scarver, a fellow inmate at the Columbia Correctional Institution in Portage, Wisconsin.

While Carl Sagan (an American astronomer, planetary scientist, cosmologist, astrophysicist, astrobiologist, author, and science communicator.) is now burning in hell fire for being an agnostic. He didn't accept Jesus as Lord and Savior when he died on December 20, 1996 due to pneumonia.

Note: According to their doctrine, when a sinner accepted Jesus before dying, he automatically gets a "Get out of Jail" card. Sorry for the pun, but seriously it's just accepting Jesus, and all your sins are washed away. Anyone who didn't believe in Jesus is damn in hell. (See: John 14:6 ) except for those characters in the Old Testament. As Christian philosopher Raymond D. Bradley in a debate with fellow Christian philosopher William Lane Craig said, "Neither good works nor generous donations will get you there. The legions of the damned, according to Jesus, include all those who don't have the right belief, the belief that he, Jesus, is Lord and Savior. In short, those who will be sent to hell include all those who, as the evangelicals put it, have not been born again. "

So looking at this doctrine we can say that even serial killers get to heaven as long as they accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior before they die. In the case of Dahmer - Dahmer becomes a born-again Christian in prison, eight months before he was murdered by fellow prisoner Christopher Scarver.

Lucifer

Christian Claim: God is perfect and all his works are perfect. God is all-knowing and all-powerful. God created innocent Lucifer.

Me: Then how did Lucifer and some angels become evil and transform into Satan and his demons?

Apologetic answer: Lucifer has free will.

Me: Still didn't answer the question.

Even if Lucifer has free will if evil didn't exist before Satan he will not be corrupted. So, does that mean evil already existed before Satan? And how come some angels other than Lucifer were also corrupted to become demons? How corruption entered heaven which is the abode of a perfect god? Doesn't make any sense.

Apologetic answer: Lucifer was corrupted by his own pride.

Me: Which again brings us back to my first question: How can Lucifer be corrupted by pride if evil doesn't exist before Satan? Where does this evil thought of pride come from? And why is it that some angels became demons? Why did rebellion enter their mind while living in perfect heaven ruled by a perfect, Omni-being called god?

Fall of Man?

Adam and the woman were thrown out of the Garden in Eden because they disobeyed God and ate the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge because the snake (which was Satan) tempted the woman.  

Questions:   

1. How the hell was Satan able to enter the garden in the first place? If this god can order an angel to guard the entrance of the garden with a flaming sword, why did he didn't employ this before Satan entered his playground? Does that mean Satan just outwitted god?  

2. If god is all-knowing, he already knows that  Satan is inside the garden. So why did he not able to remove him? Being all-knowing, he already knows what will happen.   

3. Being all-knowing, god already knows that Adam and his mate will be tempted by Satan to eat the fruit of Knowledge. Being omnipotent, what did god do to prevent this from happening? He already knows what will happen, right? Can't this all-powerful god make an unpenetrable fence around the tree or even a simple picket fence?   

Typical Christian response: God is testing Adam.  

Me: Test? Wait? If god already knows the outcome why does the need to test the subject? Would it be better that he made some kind of prevention since he already knows the outcome?   If god already knows the outcome yet didn't even make any attempt to prevent it from happening even if he has the capacity to do so then that makes god more responsible for letting the world become corrupted since Adam and the woman are innocent.   

It's god fault!
