Driscoll would simply add to the list of wide-eyed jesus freaks who didn't make sense when I was 5 and have continued not makeing realistic sense for the last 52 years; it is a long list. I don't feel like makeing the list longer. Jesus Christ is a fictional charactor DEAL WITH IT!!!

Which Jesus? The teacher and Messiah claimant or the son of Yahweh?
The latter is no less fictional than Spock.

Instead invite him to start posting here so he can made and defend his own nonsense claims by himself. If he don't have the balls to show then he don't have the balls.
Why should we go out of our way for a crazy with no balls?
Jews stole the land. The owners want it back. That is all anyone needs to know about Israel. That is all there is to know about Israel.

The one who is no less fictional than Spock - got it. The one who supposedly came to earth as a man while fully aware of being God. the one who "faced death as a man" while knowing that he wouldn't stay dead (something that no man will ever experience).
The one that has no possible way to relate to humans.

I can prove my big toe is where it belongs, both of them and I don't care if you believe it. You still act like Jesus Christ is a real name It isn't, it never was; You are reading the English version of an ancient Latin translation of an even more ancient Greek translation of an even more ancient Hebrew word [circa 1300 BCE] for god's savior annointed ; it is not a name it IS a designation Mystic Jews gave for their UNNAMED god in the time of Gaius Julius Caeser [100 to 44 BCE] . 150 years later Saul of Tarses was persicuting these scattered Mystic's when he had an epileptic seizure on the road to Damascus and joined the opposition; proving, without doubt; that one needs a sever brain disorder to become a christian.
btw modern Jews still DO NOT CALL THEIR GOD BY NAME, it IS sacroligious, they are willing to say god NOT yahwah.

And the last brick of the last church fell and killed the last priest of the last religion... and we all rejoiced, "Praise be to god!"
All you atheists think you are 10x smarter than anyone else. so egotistical. It is common knowledge about the Jew's reverence of God's name that they don't say it, or even write it. The Talmud order even blesses their pen before they write Yahwah. HOWEVER, The Lord did reveal
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Fear doesn't equal reverence just like faith doesn't equal evidence.
I find it funny how you claim to have absolute knowledge of something you can't prove while calling atheists "egotistical".

You admit I am right, finnally!! And thanks for recognizing that I am 10 times smarter. Check out my videos for pure arrogence in action.

I never claimed to have absolute knowledge. That is unattainable. However yo athiests are the one's that will tell a college educated, United State's Sailor Drill Instructor that no matter how much knowledge he has, his faith voids it all. I have trained over 600 sailors in the past 15 months. I have seen every size, shape, belief, color, attitude, background, etc. you can think of enough to be able read a person just by looking at them. I have my view of you atheists b/c of all the commonalities i have seen and experienced both staff and student. I'm not as stupid as you think.
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Not at all.
If you had knowledge of your God, you wouldn't need faith. You acknowledge faith in God because you don't know about him - not because you do.
On the things that you know and do other than religion - do you hope really hard that the actions that you've performed many times won't produce a different result or do you know that if you perform actions the same way every time that you will get the same results?
Do you expect that the sailors you trained will achieve the same results that your training is supposed to give or do you have to hope that each one of them won't get a different result?
That's the difference between knowledge and faith. Knowledge is repeatable and demonstrable. Faith works on all but two of those things.

You are right about that, the more you post the more I realize you are dumber than I initially thought. Are you ever going to get around to providing any evidence for any of your claims?

You can't prove that Jesus was fictional. OTOH, thousands of miracles and healings, fullfilled prophecies, and changes lives suggests otherwise. A former pastor of mine saw an angel come and lift a tractor off his pinned leg. How do you explain that one?
We've been over this. He made it up.
And me saying that has nothing to do with being mean or cynical. It's simply the most reasonable explanation.
I still don't understand why you would go for a supernatural explanation, as long as there's a reasonable one.
I would ask him why angels don't do more to help people.
Do you plan on responding to that second private message I sent you?
Since you can't prove any of those incidents happened, I need not provide an explanation for them.
"I do this real moron thing, and it's called thinking. And apparently I'm not a very good American because I like to form my own opinions."

And how do you propose one prove a supernatural event through natural means? It's not like it could be reproduced in a science lab. Then it would just be a natural phenomena. Let's see if your narrow way of thinking can stretch a bit.
I've had supernatural experiences myself. Did I make that up? Am I lying to myself? If God speaks to me and another Christian receives the same word, how is it possible that two people received the exact same delusional thought in their mind? This happens all the time in the Christian church.
The more rational explanation is that God really exists and works in people's lives. Amazing things happen when you obey God and don't live a life of sin.
Lying? It's possible but I don't think so.
I think you had an experience that you didn't understand and your time in the church told you to see any thing you didn't understand as a "supernatural experience" and to hang onto that explanation because disproving that experience would disprove God in your eyes. It's like what happens when someone gets offended by being shown that the Bible is demonstrably wrong on a subject. The book is their God. The experience is your god.
The supernatural is never a rational explanation because it can't be defined. Define "supernatural" in a way that tells me what it is instead of what it's not (ex. "the supernatural is anything that's not natural" is telling me what it isn't).
As for obeying God and not sinning - does that include lying for Jesus? Not accusing you - just providing a counter example. Lying for Jesus happens all the time.

It is very possible for groups of people to form the same delusions. To prove this all you have to do is get a couple of people together and take your choice of hallucinogenic drug. Sit down together and smoke/eat the hallucinogen. There is a very good chance that the two of you (or 3 or 4) will have the same hallucination. Why? Because the brain is suggestible and when people start talking about what they are seeing the other people's brains will follow that path. Chances are that no one will be able to tell exactly who started the whole thing and each will believe that their hallucination was created independently.
It is quite common for people in groups to have shared delusions and to feed off of each other.
Then how do you explain the amazing things that happen when you disobey god and live a life of sin?

To TWD39:
I'll take your recent comments that completely ignore my post as evidence you don't plan on responding to that private message.
If you do not respond within one week from the time this message is posted, I will post our private conversation on this board and ask what people think of it.

Not everyone. Just you. And that is knowledge not belief.
Even a dimwit like you should know the name of their god is not God. So why do they have a hyphenated G-d?

Community college dropout is not what college educated usually means. Of course you can give your real name, degree claim and college so we can call and verify.
Since when does the Navy waste people with a real college education as DIs?
Where are you stationed? As to stupid, probably even more so after seeing you try to pull off the "college educated" scam and that you think being a DI is some sort of intellectual accomplishment.

Produce the name and address of the guy who leg was pinned. Better yet have him log on and tell what he saw happen. All you have posted is a story you were told that you never took the first step in verifying.

I don't propose to prove them - that's your job.
You want me to stretch my "narrow way of thinking"? Support your claims.
Asking me to accept your claims without support won't stretch my thinking - it will shrink it to where yours is now. After all, you're the one who stopped thinking by saying "God did it".

Yes you are making it up and you are lying to us. That wasn't hard.
Would you care to put up scans of the notes you both took separately so we can compare and see they are the exact, same words? Or do we get the usual, god told us both to do it/not do it?
That you are lying and exaggerating are much simpler explanations.

In Christian reality the supernatural is natural. Odd thing that.
Lying to bring people to the Christ has been approved and even recommended by Paul. Lying is not an accusation of anything other than being a good Christian.

There are, again, several rational answers to those questions, and other people here have already provided them.
Two people coming up with the same word doesn't seem very miraculous to me. The rational explanations are, again, too numerous to count.
?
Well, no. That doesn't make any sense. The rational explanations are still there. Ignoring them doesn't make them go away.
That sounds like an incentive for people to make stuff up.
Also, amazing things happen when you don't obey god and do live a "life of sin".
I don't know about you, but I find falling in love a lot more amazing than 2 people coming up with the same word. But that's just me.
If TW doesn't mind, I'd be interested to see that.
Oh the mythical jesus, as well you seem to have an issue with comprehending simple concepts, like being resurrected means he didn't actually die or sacrificed anything.
what a revelation!

What a load of lies.
No need for me or anyone else to comment on this. The comments are already there.
It was not Driscoll that said these things, but rather he quoted YOUR god, Richard Dawkins.......
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Uhm, the comments address what he said, his false interpretation of the dawkins (he's a god ? That's news to me) quote. But it's nice to see you realize Driscoll was lying. We're making progress.
Read the comments.
Realize your mistake.
Shall I quote some more of them ?
I never said Driscoll was lying. Driscoll has never done anything but preach absolute truth.
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
His claim is that atheism leads to depression.
That is a simple, bald faced lie.
Was there anything else ?
Before I knew our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ I was extremely depressed. What was my mom's answer? Well it sure wasn't Jesus...It was pills....down the road when I finally met the Lord, depression lifted.
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
My mother is fundamentalist christian with a severe depression who refused to take her medication. She thought her strong belief and prayer would see her through. She tried to take her own life on 2 separate occasions. I saved her life, twice.
As a result of having beeen a primary caregiver to a severely depressed person since I was 11, I know more about depression than Driscol ever will. He was lying. Faith is not a factor. Sorry.
Like I said, anything else ?
double post
Faith is a major factor, however fundamentalism plays a factor in depression too. I used to be in a fundamental pentecostal church before i started going to Harvest. Fundamentalism is selfish, egotystical, and wrong. Every single one of my fundamentalist friends rejected me upon my courtship of my wife. True relationship to Christ is what brings one through, not "church rules"
Funny....a religiously fundamentalist christian, and a religiously fundamental atheist
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Well, if he doesn't respond within a week, I'm going to post it whether he likes it not. While I do hope he doesn't mind, I'm getting really sick of him ignoring anything I ask/send him.
So, JLY, you believe the claim "atheism leads to depression" is "absolute truth"? If you don't, you lied. If you do, you're severely deluded.
you atheists can't distinguish the difference between an lie and an opinion.
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
It's a factor in that it can keep people from getting the right treatment.
Having faith, however, is not a factor in curing depression of any variety. A short visit to any psychiatric clinic will make that clear to anyone.
Or you could have a talk with one of our christian members suffering from bipolar. He should stop taking his pills and pray harder ?
Nope, it doesn't. I am merely mentioning the fact that it can't protect you from, or cure a depression.
No variety of faith can do that.
You're on the right path. Keep going.
My boyfriend is a christian. Not a single one of my atheist friends rejected me for it.
What was that again you said about "fundamentalist atheism" ? It was something funny.
And this is different from a fundie's rationalizations how exactly ?
Yeah, being the only person in your family actively trying to keep your mom from killing herself. Hilarious.
Driscol lied . End of story.
He's presenting it as truth. He's lying.
