I find jesus to be the most vile, hateful being I can possibly imagine, and I would rather spend eternity in hell than spend a single nanosecond groveling before the xian god.
Deal with it!

Well James, I guess the open forum, staying civil experiment isn't going too well. But the security check is a good thing, as I remember the yahoo group got its fair share of spam.

I would have thought that if you don't subscribe to Christian beliefs you would have thought he was merely misunderstood or misrepresented rather than positively bad.

Why would you think that I need to "deal with it?" I'm an agnostic. You can say whatever you want about the Christian God and it won't bother me in the slightest.
It sounds like you're being controversial just for the sake of being controversial.

Just getting the good word out that a) not everyone is a xian and b) not everyone wants to be a xian.

Well, you're not getting the word out about either of those. I'm pretty sure everyone knows that, certainly anyone interested in the subjects to be discussed on this board would well aware of both of those facts, so your posts are at best redundant.
On a side note, I have rarely encountered someone who primarily loathes God, it is usually no evidence, miracles are fairy tales, then talk about how awful God is in the Bible. I don't think I've never heard someone flat out say that he hates something that he doesn't even believe in. Then again, I've heard a lot of people come close.
Then again, you might not be serious at all and just trying to start a flame war, which will not happen here. Go to a more hot-headed discussion forum for that.

The Commission should forward a report on this to the Apostles, for whom evangelism, as you are obviously aware, was a completely uneventful cakewalk. |

If I were you I would take your complaints up with him when you next see him. I hear he can be quite forgiving. I doubt he will be in the least bit wounded by your insults though. After all, the last time he was here the Romans nailed him to a plank of wood. The sub-literate rantings of a message board troll are a walk in the park in comparison. |

Actually, Goliath's post is quite interesting because most atheists explicitly deny that they hate God. See here for instance. I can only assume that Goliath is either a renegade atheist or else a theist who does not like God. The later would be a fascinating position to take. Best wishes James |

Hi,
Firstly as an atheist I would like to disassociate myself from Goliath's embarassing rant.Secondly James is it not because it would be absurd to hate God when you believe him to be imaginary.
Perhaps if Goliath gave a little more considered thought to his position he or she would see this absurdity.

Firstly as an atheist I would like to disassociate myself from Goliath's embarassing rant. You are finding out what it is like to have embarressing extremists ostensibly on your side! We Christians are very familiar with this problem. Best wishes James |

When you say imagine are you speaking merely colloquially, or are you implying that God is merely imaginary? If the latter then I can imagine an even more vile and hateful being than an imaginary one, and that is a vile hateful being that actually exists. |

If I were you I would take your complaints up with him when you next see him. Ah, but I won't. I'll be cast into the lake of fire, whilst you people get to cheer as you watch me burning in hell, remember? I'm quite literate, thank you very much. |
