@kellyjay saidHow am I an "anti-Christ", KellyJay? I am well aware, having been a Christian myself, that that is the just about the evilest and most depraved insult you can hurl at me. It would be less ghastly if you were calling me a paedophile or a rapist. "An anti-Christ"? What on Earth is the matter with you?
So you could
move from someone who professed love for Christ to an anti-Christ with nothing
but thought.
Sometimes your faith - which is, of course, "nothing but thought" too, KellyJay - seems little more than a bitter grab bag of intellectually disingenuous gimmicks and sanctimonious misanthropy.
Are you trying to [1] convert me or [2] convert others here through what you say or [3] are you just engaged in - what Suzianne calls - [self-sanctified] masturbation?
@fmf saidGod is real; the reality of God gives reality its being. Had you known that there
Your faith is "all between your ears" too, KellyJay.
IF God were real, IF God were real, IF God were real, IF God were real, IF God were real, IF God were real... exactly: IF.
would be no if, you flipped flopped on the reality of God. Since the truth is
wrapped up in God, He doesn't change; we do. He does not disappear due to
our circumstances. The "if God" was all about your flipping between opinions, not
the reality of God, which you deny. God not being real to you now means He
never was.
@fmf saidWe can know the truth and be set free by it, and your denial is simply a truth
Your faith does not create "truth". We can only speculate about "the truth" in these matters. Whatever "the truth" might be, it is not affected by your faith or by my loss of faith. That leaves us both firmly in the realm of subjectivity and personal opinion.
statement about the truth, which you are admitting is all you can do.
@fmf saidIt is simply those that oppose the reality of Jesus Christ, and you now meet that

-Removed-To lose something, one must have it; first. For one to be a Christian requires Jesus
Christ in your life. Deny God is real now, says that had to also be true for his whole
life; all the experiences with God in the past couldn't be true; they are all denied as
never being real. Many are leaving a belief system, a godless Christianity, for the
reality they belong to a godless one without the pretense; they are showing their
true colors. We are either conforming to being like Christ with Christ in this life
by the work of God in us through God sanctifying us, or we are moving away from
Him; an absolute denial of God is where some go.
