When I saw the title of this thread I thought of the bumper sticker

JESUS LOVES YOU!
But everyone else thinks you're an asshole.

I said, what makes us think our G'd is the true G'd? The Greeks and Romans and Norsemen and every other post-archaic civilization thought their gods were the real-deal - hell, they even thought their emperors and kings were deities incarnate, but I digress. So why should our thoughts be any more correct or more-accurate than theirs?

I hate zealots. I hate assholes that fling their religion in my face because their figurehead told them to. If I wanted to be a friggin' Mormon, I would have converted - I don't need a bunch of short-sleeves-and-ties dudes proseletyzing at my door trying to sell Jesus to me. If I wanted to worship a guy with an enormous hat and the human mother of the so-called Son of G'd I would have become Catholic. You don't see Jewish people or devout/pious Islamic men and women or Buddhist monks and practicioners of Buddhism running around ringing doorbells at 7am on Saturday handing out leaflets and shedding crocodile tears of joy at the happiness that we've found. No - you sure don't, and you don't see massive temple-groups at Ari Goldstein concerts rocking out to contemporary Jewish praise songs (I made that name up, we don't have a Stephen Curtis Chapman or Carman or whatever).

So what, your religion is the only religion that gets you to heaven and you want everyone to be saved too. Guess what, clowns? My religion says I go because I'm a good little ***, and Hosam al Masry's religion says provided he doesn't break the Pillars of Islam and provided he lives his life according to the wisdom of Allah (another word for G'd for the ignorant) and His prophet Mohammed, he goes to heaven too. We all go, in our own way- so it comes down again to one simple thing - who's right? Me, you, or Hosam?

Wtf?

Well, I don't mind so much - whatever helps them make their case, provided they aren't blowing up children and large skyscrapers or putting people in lions' dens.

That gives me the best image

Some guy on a street corner: "Hey man, want some J?"

I was thinking of Detective Sipowicz from NYPD Blue, wearing the short sleeve button-up shirt and a tie... ties and short sleeves do not mix. Be you a cop or a door-to-door Jesus salesman.

Jesus Freak: God created us, repent! Bow to our lord!

Me: Then why does science prove that there was a massive combination of matter and anti-matter at what we call the beginning of time?

Jesus Freak: Well then what created that matter? God did! Haha, got ya!

Me: Then what created God?

Jesus Freak: God was always there.

Me: But he had to have a beginning, everything does, just like everything has an end.

Jesus Freak: Well then how did everything begin?

Me: Simple answer? Humans will never know. It is impossible to know, because no intelligent lifeform was created directly after the big bang, it took millions of years for planets and atmospheres and creatures to be created. There is no place we can look it up, it's not like google. I doubt that even when our brains advance to that of the Vulcans(Star Trek) will we understand. That is truly the one question that can't be answered for a very long time, if ever. My answer to you? Believe what you want, shut the hell up about it and move on with your life.

Oh ya, and that spinning lambs head seems satanic to me.

Sounds to me we have a grumpy ATHEIST here, kids! Run and tell an adult, right away!

My brother just went and became an athiest a few months back. What's really funny is he is EXTREMELY confronational with people. He'll proudly make some statement about anything if he knows it'll piss off someone at the table. And why'd he go athiest? Because George Carlin told him to. I'm not gonna go preachy on you, what you do with your soul is your business, but who the hell dumps their religion because George Carlin wrote in a book that it's uncool? Hell, with all the mental problems he's got, religion isn't the worst thing that could happen to him.

I swear to god, I'm gonna laugh my ass off when he finally gets a girlfriend (he's a senior and has yet to get a girl, I mean he's only called a couple of them.), and then loses her shortly afterwards because he tried to push athiesm on her (when I said he was aggressively anti-christian, I meant it. And we live in Kansas, so there's anywhere from a 60-90% chance she's a Christian, the best he can hope for is agnostic.) and started insulting her for not being an athiest like him. I mean seriously, if anybody's I know's gonna turn pedophile or psycho-killer, it's him.
