Stupid poo poo atheists and skeptics do not believe: Angels don't exist. Hey but actually I saw them myself and have proof. Oh, I also just proved it to the law and they don't know what to do about it. HA :actually:

If there is no God, then any ground for regarding the herd morality evolved by homo sapiens as objectively true seems to have been removed. After all, what is so special about human beings? They are just accidental by-products of nature which have evolved relatively recently on an infinitesimal speck of dust lost somewhere in a hostile and mindless universe and which are doomed to perish individually and collectively in a relatively short time. Some action, say, incest, may not be biologically or socially advantageous and so in the course of human evolution has become taboo; but there is on the atheistic view nothing really wrong about committing incest. If, as Kurtz states, “The moral principles that govern our behavior are rooted in habit and custom, feeling and fashion,” then the non-conformist who chooses to flout the herd morality is doing nothing more serious than acting unfashionably.

there might still be a God. He just doesn't care what we do

I do a lot of research about sexuality and theology, those are the two biggest areas of research in my life. It’s no surprise, then, that I eventually started a blog exploring the intersection of these two interests. But my research is not limited to the Bible and personal experience. Before you get scared, let me explain:

also if there is a god that does care what we do then morality is still subjective. god is still, by definition, a subject, and we are still free to disagree with what he thinks is moral.

also the point is irrelevant unless they are admitting to being fantasists who are arguing that we should pretend things are true because we want them to be.

The City of Orange received a request to place a banner in front of City Hall from the Orange County Atheists on December 9, 2015. This request was based on the annual Nativity scene that has been erected for many years at City Hall. The City is denying the banner request.

Based on this request, the City reviewed current case law. Supreme Court decisions have tried to address this question in an array of decisions but there is not a clear case that gives affirmative direction to displaying the Nativity scene. This makes it difficult to formulate a policy for Christmas decorations on City property. Based on this and knowing that the Constitution makes a distinction between church and state, the City will be removing the Nativity scene to avoid the legal costs associated with defending the placement of the Nativity scene and focus on the true meaning of Christmas.

The world isn't always what it appears and even though you have your opinion I respect that since it is out first amendment to the Constitution but let the haters know that I can factually backup everything I say and prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that we are under the control of a luciferian government and I have lived nearly 40 years here and at some point if you don't make a stand then you are yourself allowing these atrocities to happen and I refuse to do this.

And not a word was said about it. More stupid poo poo atheists actually believe, that the logic of man is actually worthwhile in deducing the expanse of the known universe while not a single one of them has been on the moon. In fact, only 12 have walked the moon, none of them atheists, and it wasn't the 12 apostles of Jesus. I'm still trying to find out the pinnacle of atheist science but I have yet to see it. btw angels exist.

One of the reasons why I doubt Gene Autry's salvation is the fact that he penned the lyrics to this song. In a million years, I would NEVER give false security to unbeliever's by telling them that “we're all God's children.” Galatians 3:26, “For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.” If you don't have faith alone in Christ Jesus, you are NOT God's child. That means Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists and followers of Judaism are all going to burn in Hell, because they all reject Jesus as the Messiah (1st John 2:22)!!!

Trump’s plan to ban all Muslims is the epitome of “American values,” Shoebat explained, just as was Jackson’s treatment of the Native Americans.

“Any Indian that expressed any sort of anti-American sentiment, he killed them,” Shoebat rejoiced. “He had no tolerance for evil and wicked people. He got rid of them and he purged the society of these pagan heathens and he did an American Inquisition and that’s what we need now.”

“Homosexuality? Death penalty. Blasphemy? Should be punished. Pagans coming in to your land? Kill the pagans, defeat them, convert the to Christianity.”

“I’m more American than you,” Shoebat declared. “Back in the day, just 100 years ago or so, 200 years ago, the American people 100 percent would have agreed with me. The Founding Fathers would have agreed with me.”

So why are we all still here? The answer is a gracious God. Forget about the rest of the globe for a moment and let’s just talk about your own life. By now you’ve done all kinds of nasty little sins, and God could have used any one of them as justification for wiping you out. How many times have you blown off God’s convictions not to sleep around? The first time you had sex with someone outside of marriage, BAM, God could have nailed you with some heinous STD and had you die some agonizing death. Why shouldn’t He? He’s God and you’re some little fleck of dust—how dare you defy His Authority? Ever have an abortion? In the laws that Yahweh gave to Moses, He said it was “eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth.” So since you went and had your baby’s body hacked apart, you can’t possibly argue why God shouldn’t rip you apart limb from limb and let you die in a pool of your own blood. The same goes for all of you men who pressured your women into murdering the baby who you helped procreate: you’re just as guilty. And how about all those times you said cutting words to someone? How about all those promises you broke?

Honestly, I don't see the difference between this and when math people talk about axioms. Or any of the myriad different metaphysical assumptions scientists hold, yes even in physics. Not a theist, just trying to stir the pot a little.

The current market for Christian video games is small. A lack of money, investors, and retailer exposure remains an obstacle for Christian developers while mainstream game developers have all the resources they need. So far, Christian games have mostly been on PC. However, developers are eyeing a shot at the big time: making games for a console such as Xbox, Playstation, or GameCube.

Some wonder of the place violence has in Christian games. Scott Wong of Brethren Entertainment puts it this way: “The actual act of pulling a trigger and hunting something-–somebody might have a problem with that. I always tell people that if you want good drama, you have to have conflict--without that, you can’t make your point.”

Despite being called “Christian” games, some may question whether they reflect Biblical values. In reality, the division among developers is not whether they are Biblical, but just how much of “the message” should be presented in their games. Mike Salmond, teacher of digital media at Elon University, believes that if games are not entertaining and if the message becomes the point, it will be a tough sell.

The market for Christian video games is growing similar to the Christian music genre several years ago. What was once a small niche genre is now a powerhouse in the music industry. Could the same thing happen with Christian video games? Only time will tell.

A New York pastor warned recently that President Barack Obama and other leaders were convincing young girls — like pop singer Justin Bieber — to become transgender.

“We’re talking about young girls, 6 to 10 years of age,” Atlah World Missionary Church Rev. James David Manning said in a YouTube video that was posted on Friday. “They can be led or influenced to cut off their breasts once they get into puberty. They can be led to have operations — like Justin Bieber — they can think that the best choice for their life is to cut off their breasts.”

“And then by the time they reach the age of 20 years old, they say, ‘I wish I had never cut off my breasts, I wish I had never mutilated my flesh, I wish I had never cut off my penis, I wish I had never done that, I was just young. And the people in the church or the people in the media said or gave the impression that I had a right to choose any kind of sexual orientation that I wanted to choose, and so I cut off my penis or I cut off my breasts.’”

Manning, however, promised to use the power of God to fight leaders who gave children the impression that they could “choose any kind of sexual orientation.”

“I will chase every sodomite, I will chase every lesbo, I will chase every political leader with the power of God, with the chariots of fire,” he insisted. “That these children be not misled by people in congregations and people in business or in politics like Obama that are influencing these children to throw their lives away the way Justin Bieber threw his life away.”

“And then 20 years old, can’t grow their breasts back. At 20 years old, can’t grow their penis back,” Manning added. “People need to wake the hell up and see what’s going on in our world! They need to understand just how diabolical this devil and evil spirit is.”
