{{{Jesus still loves you
whether you acknowledge Him or not }}} please lighten up Abra ~ I thought my responses were light-hearted. I know Jesus loves me, and I love him too (if indeed he did exist). That’s a given. So I do acknowledge him (if indeed he did exist). I just don’t acknowledge that he was the sole incarnation of the God of Abraham. Nor would I accept his offer to be nailed to a cross for my sake (whether he was God or not). This may not make any sense to you, but it makes perfect sense to God. |

i don't know why you feel the way you do...
i don't know what persistent need you have, that drives you to get on all the Christian threads and to denounce Christ as Lord as loudly and as often as you do ~ it has puzzled me and i have lots of compassion for you i have no idea why you are like that, except that i see that it just is so strong in you ... i cannot help but wonder what happened to you all these years as to make you so vehemently against Christianity ~ and I care about you because of all these months i have seen you in such utter turmoil ~ great inner pain and suffering even though you oftentimes try to project strength and self assuredness ...I can read between the lines very well... call it a spiritual intuition ~ a compassion & understanding unexplainable by the very limited human mortal thought processes |

K L Post Rapunzel...and great observation on abra. Hi Tomie....thank you for your reply ... i don't know what the beginning part of your message means K L Sorry, I can't decipher I appreciate someone else's observation besides my own... Abra has been on my heart and mind for some time now, and when i think of deactivating sometimes, i think of people like Abra and i so want to be able to reach them with the Light of God that is within me ~ & i want that amazing peace and blessed assurance to dwell within him ~ and others ~ as well~ and if he chooses to reject it, then that is his own free will and choice ~ but i will not be easily discouraged and i believe that my prayers will be answered ... i have searched far and wide for the truth... it isn't like i was raised a Christian and have allowed myself to have been blindly led about without checking out a lot of different beliefs and lifestyles and while there is so much truth to be learned out there , still there is something very mysterious and amazingly extraordinary about Our Lord Jesus the Christ |

i cannot help but wonder what happened to you all these years as to make you so vehemently against Christianity ~
Christianity is a very negative picture of God and humanity. It has nothing to do with me personally. and I care about you because of all these months i have seen you in such utter turmoil ~ great inner pain and suffering
I’m simply saying that Christianity is mythology just like Greek mythology. It’s an intellectual observation. My purpose is to help educated humanity. Nothing more, nothing less. Your suggestion that I’m in some kind of turmoil is your own unwarranted delusion and certainly has no substance in reality. I can appreciate your misguided notion that people need to be ‘saved’. But I can assure you that any efforts to save me are entirely wasted as no one could be closer to God than I already am. |

Hey Rapunzel,
Let me explain the first half...KOOL or Cool thus K l using the laugh icons as "O"'s lol. I'm saddened by the thought you're thinking about canceling your existance here. You've been such a blessing for all of us here, let me encourage you to stay on. Your prayers for others who seem to be negative on Christianity are also negative in life in gerneral. They make their claims to be heard of the hurt they are experiencing. So, your prayers are more than simply apprecitated. Please reconsider & may the peace of GOD always be with you no matter what your decision is. T mie |

i believe so strongly Abra that if you were so happy and so free ~ and so secure in your existence & your convictions ~ Abra ~ truly ~
it would not even matter to you ~ one smidgeon ~ what any one of us who profess Christianity says or does ~ thinks or doesn't think Do you think that just because I’m happy I should be content to sit back and watch cancer consume others? To me, Christianity is cancer of the spirit. It’s seriously harmful and detrimental to humanity in general. It has a terrible historical record of driving mankind in the wrong directions. Do you realize that it was Christians who came to America and ran the natives here off their land calling them savages? Do you realize that it was Christians who went to church to be saved by Jesus whilst their African slaves picked cotton in their field. Yes, Christianity, the supposedly ‘godly’ religion. It’s bigotry gone wild, is what it is. Someday humanity will finally be rid of this terrible spiritual disease. |

Hey abra question for you? If you believe in God....... And you believe in Christ..... Then I don't see any difference in us? Do you? No, there probably isn't much difference on a personal level. The only difference between us is that I denounce an organized religion that I believe has become very anti-Christ-like and you support it. Other than that, we are probably both very nice individuals. |

Havn't I always said I don't care what religion you are...If you believe in God, And Christ as his son.....then all good with me......... and will think about the nice abra I think also abra that your always preaching to people to open their mind and look at other possibilities...but have you ever thought that maybe that is the case....and people are now living what they believe after their great search. |

I don’t preach to anyone. I just offer my views for whatever they're worth.
People can take them however they like. |

I thought the story was sort of funny...
I'm a bit surprised that the Christians like it though- it's actually quite critical of christians IMO. Christians have literally killed and metaphorically "eaten" cultures whose individuals didn't agree with or convert to their beliefs. ACtually, if I think about it too much I don't like the story because I really dislike when one religion is so intolerent of others beliefs. Then again maybe I should just lighten up and laugh at the praying bear? |

"Lord bless this food, which I am about to receive from thy bounty through Christ our Lord, Amen."
Yep, that sounds like a typical Christian alright. Praise the Lord and eat thy neighbor! ~~~ Go ahead and eat your neighbor, Go ahead and eat a friend. Do it in the name of Heaven, You can justify it in the end. There won't be any trumpets blowing Come the judgment day, On the bloody morning after.... One full grizzly walks away. Very true |
