Anas09:I would claim God detests those who do not do his will. Anas09:Good, so let's work with that alone, love, and not more than one loves oneself. In fact, the prayer, "Forgive us our trespasses" sets a nice limit on how much love one should have for others. "As much as one wishes to be loved" , to be exact. In effect, if one wishes to be loved a little, one just need love others a little, and the more loving one wants, the more one needs to love. Be aware that I have replaced "forgive" , for "love" in the Lord's Prayer. I am not changing the law, just fulfilling its spirit. And borrowing that, would I be correct in claiming God detests those who do not love others? Now back to op. Have the Land grabbers not loved themselves at the expense of others by grabbing their land? Anas09:I do not have any intention of seeing anyone live according to Christ's teachings! That is a choice every individual makes for themself, after all no one would be punished for the sins of buda and buda would not be punished for the sins of others! As to an atheist not knowing "what the Life and teachings of Jesus means" , well, I guess that's an opinion, and one a certain Pharisee had that made him thank God he was not like that tax collector over there. It is also the lesson of the Good Samaritan. Are you aware they were considered in the same way Muslims are seen by some today? Yet, it does seem Christ was saying the Samaritan would enter the Kingdom of God way before the Priest and the Levite, both who believed, would. There is a reason why some who call "Lord, Lord" will gnash their teeth, why there are many mansions in his Father's house, why common stones would be raised up to sing haleluya, and why some will hear from the mouths of babies. Anas09:If I believed Christians became perfect saints, do you not think I too would be a Christian? Christianity simple shows a way and how to be so there would be peace on earth where the lamb would not be eaten by the lion. It is why the peacemakers are blessed. The Spiritual growth of a follower of Christ makes them the salt of the earth. I know you know the value of unsalty salt. As for me, my credentials are displayed for you to observe if I understand the teachings or not. You may want to ask why an atheist detesting Christian might refer to atheist buda as "my dearest" and "my love", by the way. Is it because she sees the devils spirit in buda, perhaps? By my fruit am I known, my dear, and not by mere words like "believe". I guess I can be said to be a James sort of guy than a Paulinite, I exhibit my actions, rather than my faith and let people see if my eye is dim or not. Anas09:As you well know, buda does not believe, nor does she consider 'believing' to be a virtue since even the devil is said to believe. You have claimed I "can never know the intricacies of being a believer", and you may be correct. I personally prefer to know than believe, as I see no virtue in what even the devil is said to do. Go and read any of the Gospels. You would find that those who opposed Jesus Christ also believed, but I am certain you would not claim their believing was of any merit. I find a foundation based on knowing to be firmer than one based on mere believing. I'll end this with that Pharissee and the atheist again and have you consider Christ words when the former says, "Thank you Lord that I am not like that atheist over there"! “I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” I refrain from saying an amen lest it be seen as buda cursing. But I will say, 'salt', as in, may you be salted. |

Anas09:Wrong that Jesus did not teach in those instances that because a person calls on the same gods as one doesn't mean they really worship God? Then educate me love. But note that your response as quoted already shows you acknowledge my point, albeit the inverse - that one who does not call on the same gods as one can be loved. |

michlins:Its really sad that people blindly support those who claim to worship one's gods even when they do things those gods are supposed to detest. Jesus preached numerous sermons against such stupidity (Parable of the Samaritan, the Pharissee and the tax collector, the gnashing of teeth, the mansions of his father's house, to name a few), but that lesson just seems to fly over some people's heads. What a waste of the blood of Christ if people can't learn the lessons wrote in it, I say. |

peteregwu:Peter, go get yourself a Bible and read it. Then read some history too please. The land grab was way back in the early books. When it was grabbed, there was slaughter too so no one was alive to say "gi'me my land back Jew!" Many years passed after that and it just wasn't an issue when Christ was said to be alive, and besides, didn't it belong to Rome at the time? After the first world war and much in between, Europe felt guilty for killing the Jews and offered them land to form their own nation. Are you aware they were offered Uganda? But the Jews of the time, who had never been to Palestine, dusted their Bible and said they wanted Palestine because, "that was the land their god had promised and given them", and Britain and USA just took it from its occupants and said, "there you go, have it". They had to lie and make various dodgy deals with the Arab nations and the Palestinians too to steal it from them and give it to the Jews whom actually, they detested and didn't want living in their countries! The thing is that it might not have been the issue it is today if those land grabbing Jews hadn't gotten greedy and occupied more land than they were initially given. Now Palestinians watch lands their forefathers had cultivated and lived on for years being occupied by some other people who have no title to the land except for some god book! Its very similar to how we treat the oil regions of Nigeria. We steal their resources, pollute their land so they can't grow or fish for food, and expect them not to complain! I'm sorry, but I would not like or accept it if I were the one treated the way the Palestinians or the inhabitants of Nigeria's oil regions are treated. It is not fair, and I can't accept any god worth worshipping should sanction such theft! I've left out quite a lot of detail here so do some research and don't just take my word for it. 2 Likes 1 Share |

bloodofthelamb:So, because I might not know how land is formed, it's ok for some people to come kick me off my land because their god said they should? I wonder how it would go down with you if I came over to you on your land, claim my god said its mine, and besides, because you don't know how the land was formed, it definitely is mine. You would pack up, say ok and leave the land for me right, you nice God fearing person? Now try thinking how you'd act if some people turned up claiming your land was given to them by their god called say, Allah, and you should pack up and vacate the land! Pack up and go, right? 4 Likes |

I wonder how you'd feel if some people turn up to your land and inform you to move because "their god has given it to them". I bet you'd tell them to fuq off with their god. Except in this case, their god didn't say move, it told them to kill you and take the land for themselves, about 2000 years ago. Now imagine, that many years later, some people turn up again and claim that land is their's because their god gave it to them 2000 years ago and it's written in their book so it's true, and besides, "we got the might of UK and USA behind us". I bet you'd say fuq off again. But just because you are now convinced that those land grabbing people's god is your god, it's ok to go stealing other people's land, right, because your god says it's ok to do so and in your opinion, those other people don't worship your god so it's ok to take their land?! If I were Palestinian, I would fight you to the very last breath of all my descendants, and I will be marrying many wives and having tons of children just so I don't run out of generations who will continue fighting you and your land stealing fake god and document which you wrote yourself but make the gullible believe your god wrote! If you were one of the people who's land was being stolen, I bet you'd see the Palestinians point of view. If anything, this is the worst atrocity of the modern era, and the fact you claim your god sanctioned it is enough reason to kill your god off to be honest! 10 Likes 3 Shares |

The entire sky was rent asunder and I bawled like a baby who had been denied its mother's tit. I had trained that dog from 3 weeks old now 3 year old dog dead. Part of the consoling was what you said up there, "don't worry, you can get another dog". Like another dog could ever be my dead dog, right? Guess when ma dies, I needn't cry then either because, "don't worry, I can get another ma". That dog died in '84, and while I've had dogs after that, something in me went with my dog. I've only shed a dead tear once since, and that was when grandma lay in her coffin giving me joke all night. It was just such a special dog. Sorry about your dog Ishi. 3 Likes 1 Share |

It wouldn't surprise me too if the servings they take for themselves is not much more than you get served. Or do you serve yourself too? They are guests in your house and should not even be going into your kitchen if you asked me, and if your wife has any regard for her home, she would stop treating it like it were her and her siblings father's house! You've told her. If they go in my pot again, I will not eat from that pot until new food is cooked, and I will go eat out, deducting the cost from what I give my wife until she gets the message (which, apart from cost, is a matter of respect!) Personally though, my wife and I are on the same page, or "Houston", we got problems far greater than a pot of food in my kitchen, I think. 1 Like |
