I am going to Christianchat.com "Your account is currently awaiting confirmation. Confirmation." I filled everything out and submitted my request to join, but I was honest about my favorite bible verses.
Deuteronomy 13 "Kill anyone who disagrees with your belief. Your hand should be first to strike them dead." and Luke 14:26, "Anyone who does not hate their mother, father, sister, brother, aunt and uncle will not be admitted into heaven."
Have not heard from them yet.
You've got the wrong version of the bible for Luke 14:26. It's all about love, not hate.
Contemporary English Version
You cannot be my disciple, unless you love me more than you love your father and mother, your wife and children, and your brothers and sisters. You cannot follow me unless you love me more than you love your own life.
Good News Translation
"Those who come to me cannot be my disciples unless they love me more than they love father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, and themselves as well.
Luke 14:26 New International Version (NIV)
26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple.
Contemporary English Version - History
Published by the American Bible Society, the Contemporary English Version has the goal of was uncompromising simplicity. Also known as the Bible for Today’s Family, the CEV is written at a fourth grade reading level, making it appropriate for children and adults with limited English skills.
Contemporary English Version - Pro’s and con’s
The Contemporary English Version is easy-to-read and easy-to-understand. It is written in quality and contemporary English. However, when it goes more toward dynamic equivalence and less toward formal equivalence, the CEV sometimes goes astray, interpreting rather than translating.
IT'S NOT WORTH THE PAPER IT IS WRITTEN ON.
@ New Skeptic
LMFAO...don't that say it all.......
Have actually done that, twice, quite some years ago .
First time I lasted 20 minutes before being banned. Umm, I guess I was insufficiently circumspect . Second time, I was a bit more careful .Asked about something, in a most respectful manner, and asked members to THINK about it. I was banned after an hour.
I concluded that Christians tend to be treated with more acceptance on most atheist forums than atheists on a Christian forum. Although, to be honest, I would ban them immediately on discovery if could. That is because they tend to be ignorant and impervious to critical thinking, and often disingenuous in the way they present themselves. (they lie)
I owe such idiots nothing. I afford them the same respect they offer me. None.
@cranky47: I have to agree. The worst thing that can be said about an atheist on a Christian site is that we are trying to take their money from them.
Really? How? I wasn't aware of that.
That's one of the things I've noticed about god; he always needs money.
Recently I read that one of his televangelists absolutely must have private jet. Apparently god can't hear his prayers in a public airplane
I kid you not.
Then you will love/hate this article. Here is one passage.
"When asked why the plane is registered in Aruba, rather than the U.S., Angley said he was just following orders from God."

@ Christianchat.com: 2 DAYS AND NO RESPONSE - HA HA HA HA HA ..... Could it be the bible verses I chose?
@Cog
There is a part of me that wants very badly to find a Christian site and try to ask a few questions there. For real. But then there is the other part of me (my annoying conscious) that would feel like a wolf strolling into a flock of helpless sheep.... *chuckle*... Even if I made it through the enrollment process, I doubt I would make it more than five minutes before getting my ass booted right back out the door... lol
If you really want to have some fun-----
A few years ago, I joined an egyptology forum without realising it was based in Cairo-------------all I did was to reject the claim that the Q'uran is a reliable as a history source.
Pickle me grandmother! Those bastards are nuts! I mean who makes death threats on an internet forum?
@Cranky: Who? Obviously "Those bastards ." When Old Man is drunk and on the keyboard, he has been known to threaten to run people down with his trike.
I do understand.
When my dad was in care, he used to threaten hit people with his walking frame.
I don't threaten. I'm an imploder. I seethe. I swear one day I'm going to set fire to one of those morons in the shopping centre talking loudly on their mobile phone. Either that or my head will explode.
Personally, I do my best to avoid making threats. I mean, why on Earth would I want to give somebody a warning by telling them what I'm about to do to them?... *chuckle*...
Indeed. Only a fool makes threats. Choose your time and act.

Element of surprise can take even the most extreme david vs goliath situation and turn it on its head.
Threatening takes away that element of surprise.
Give me the element of surprise and even me with minimal fighting training can easily ambush the most highly skilled trained fighter. But yes, it would require fighting "dirty."
Fighting "honorably" is for sport/games. In the real life, what matters is that you win. If it is life and death, you versus the other person, you would be a fool to threaten, giving up the element of surprise.
@ Tin Man
"Ah shit busted"...*sulkily starts putting the bell back on the trike's handlebars and removes sabres from front and rear wheels*
*Another day come and gone and not a word from Christian.com I feel so rejected!!!
Should present yourself as a Muslim, see if you last longer.
I wonder? I think I could pull it off in writing. (PBUH) just ends every sentence. The Kalam Cosmological Argument is Islamic in origin and I can totally be one hell of a presuppositionalist. Might be fun.
Well, here it is.... nearly a week later and I have no story to tell. I was not admitted to the site. No one sent me an e-mail with a secret code. I am rejected and dejected. Hell, they treat me no better than the folks around here. Life sucks!!! ;-)
@Cog Re: " Hell, they treat me no better than the folks around here. Life sucks!!!"
Aw, shut up and go eat a banana, you loser! Nobody here wants to hear your bitchy little whiny ass!
@Tin-Man:
*FOOT STEPS RUNNING AWAY* "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" *DOOR SLAMS*
Reminds me of my tin e back on Catholic answers forums and how it took me like 28 bans and finally throwing a fit before they ip banned me :p
Unfortunately there is still intolerance against the Atheists!
@Kundalino Re: "Unfortunately there is still intolerance against the Atheists!"
Well, hell, how can you blame the poor theists? It's quite obvious that atheists are nothing but a bunch of arrogant and evil know-it-all assholes who have no respect for the theists' imaginary spirit friend. In all fairness, if somebody were to tell me MY imaginary friend isn't real, then I know I would get all butt-hurt about it and not want to be around them. Because if you cannot accept and respect my imaginary friend (His name is Todd, by the way.), then you obviously have no respect for me. After all, Todd has imaginary friends too, and I am totally okay with that... *turning to Todd*... Come on, Todd, let's go play in our imaginary tree house with some of your imaginary friends. Just don't serve any of that imaginary tea, though. It gave me gas last time.
Tin: Aw hell, you know Todd!!?? I went to High School with Todd. One hell of a hide-n-seek player. I remember shoving him into the girls locker room once, all he did was emerge with a shit eating grin on his face. I asked him what happened and he told me "No one noticed him." He played basket ball for shit, Could not hold onto the ball to save his life. Still he was a whole lot of fun to hang out with and talk to. A great listener. I always wondered what happened to ole Todd. I never knew he was into robotics. Kwel!!! Tell him I said "Hi." And if he is telling you about the alien invasion and how he once saved the earth, he is lying. It was a well flung bit of poo that did the trick.
@Cog Re: "And if he is telling you about the alien invasion and how he once saved the earth, he is lying. It was a well flung bit of poo that did the trick."
Hey, if it's all the same to you, we'll just keep that to ourselves. Todd is pretty proud of having saved the world. He brags about it all the time. I would hate to break his heart by telling him it was all a lie. Todd is entitled to his delusions just like the rest of us.
Edit to add: Besides, I never know for sure when one of Todd's imaginary friends might be nearby eavesdropping. And I don't want to make him look bad in front of any of them. That's just rude.
@Tin: RE: "I never know for sure when one of Todd's imaginary friends might be nearby eavesdropping."
Damn, he still has that problem does he? He was seeing a shrink in HS. I used to take him after school on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. He was so delusional that he could not tell which imaginary friends were real and which were not. I can't count the number of nights I woke to find him in a rage upon discovering the friend he was having sex with was not really a friend. You know how imaginary friends are during High School, raging hormones and all. Hope he is doing better. Just a quick warning. Don't let him near any small furry animals. Okay, bye for now.
