Nothing but Jesus
Offline Ok lets start here.....In 2005 I was stationed out in Hawaii, and going to pick up my 'then' girlfriend, i side-swiped a bus and drove away. I lied to my command about it, and everything got found out. I faced non-judicial punishment (losing rank and pay), as well as a felony conviction on the civilian side. The night after I got back from the police station, I got on my knees and cried out to God, committing myself to him. This girl I had been dating had pulled me away from the church, and I ran back. After that there was no NJP, just 5 written counselings, and on the civilian side i just had to pay court costs. ONLY JESUS.
In 2006, the morning after watch, i ran into some friends that wanted to go to the beach. We ended up at this really high cliff and the dude jumped, then we went to a lower one (like 10 ft) and I jumped. I had no swimming gear. I couldn't beat the current and I got scared. I called out to God and prayed for my life. I got to the side of the cliff, got swept into it by a wave, and got knocked out. By God's grace there were rescue swimmers training around the corner, and they saved me. ONLY JESUS.
Shortly before the swimming accident in 2006, I had been driving some friends to visit another friend in the hospital (she took a face plant riding a moped), and on the way back from the hospital, they are sitting the back seat of my jeep (it was a wrangler), and one of them just happened to whip out a joint. I freak out because i'm in the military with a zero tolerance policy, and my freak out caused me to run a red light infront of a cop. I get pulled over (I forgot to mention I didn't notice till it was lit and I smelled it) and the cop didn't notice and just gave me a ticket for running a red light. ONLY JESUS.
In 2011 I moved out to Chicago to become a drill instructor and met the woman of my dreams. ONLY JESUS.
I was too afraid to tell her about my past, and she accidentally found out about it. We sought Biblical counseling, and are still together. ONLY JESUS
On August 9, 2013 my little baby girl was born, but 8 weeks early. Everybody at the hospital was telling us that she was gonna be there anywhere from 4-6 weeks. Every day that we went in, the NICU nurses told us how amazing she was doing, that he progress was unheard of, and she was out of there in less than 3 weeks. ONLY JESUS.
And that is just the tip of the iceberg for me. Those were the things in my life that immediately came to mind, but there have been too many "close calls" and coincidences that they couldn't be either. ONLY JESUS.
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.

What exactly did jesus do? Magically persuade the court not to NJP you? (Incidentally, did jesus also magically repair the bus?)
What exactly did jesus do? Magically conjure some rescue swimmers to be nearby?
What did jesus do? Momentarily shut off the cop's olfactory senses?
What did jesus do? Take control of your and/or her mind to move to Chicago so you could meet?
What did jesus do? Alter her mind to get over any inhibitions about your past? (Incidentally, was jesus ok with you hiding your past from the woman of your dreams?)
What did jesus do? Magically accelerate her progress? (Incidentally, why didn't jesus just magically have her be born at the correct time, instead of prematurely?)
There are no theists on operating tables.
haven't we 'started here' a couple of times before? God didn't give you a second chance, people did.
You are doing no more than insisting everything that's happened to you that's fortuitous was miraculous.
Everything you list is the product of happy chance and universal human kindness - that thing your sort denies exists.
I'm sure the gaols, cancer wards, spinal units and asylums of the world are full of people thinking: FUCKING JESUS.
"Experiments are the only means of knowledge at our disposal. The rest is poetry, imagination." Max Planck
Ah, so Jesus supports lying scumbags.
The rescue swimmers were Jesus? Why would Jesus need to swim to save you? Couldn't he just walk?
Huh, so Jesus supports smoking pot too. Good to know, I like pot.
I wouldn't thank anyone if I ended up living in Chicago.
So you didn't learn to stop your lying from the earlier incident? Not only does Jesus love liars, he apparently doesn't expect you to learn from your mistakes. Must be nice to be able to count on him to bail you out every time.
Or you know, you could thank the hard working medical professionals who have dramatically increased the survival rates of premature babies. Apparently Jesus didn't give a fuck about premature babies 100 years ago.
Is your hypothesis that people who don't believe in Jesus don't have similar experiences in their lives? I hate to break it to you, but you aren't special. I doubt there is a single person on this site who can't come up with similar experiences off the top of their head.

Yes, think of the terrible death agonies of billions who suffered before medical science. Maybe at the sermon on the mount jesus should have left off the stoic monologue and taught the people how to make soap.

I was actually thinking of a number of close calls I had where I called out to "OH SHIT" and things didn't turn out as bad as feared. I suppose I should start going to the church of Oh Shit and thank shit for all my good fortune.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_population QUOTE FROM THE ARTICLE.
56 MILLION DEATHS WORLDWIDE UNDER THE ALLEGED WATCH OF YOUR GOD CHARACTER.
You suffer from sample rate error and selection bias.
The reality is that EVERY HUMAN will go through good and bad to varying degrees and everyone will die from something at some point.
I do not see any magic in survival and or death, BOTH have happened and have always happened. No god needed to explain either the good or bad in our existence.
Now, your kid is special TO YOU, and even atheist parents would say their kids are special to them. But no human past or present is special to our species evolution. If one human, kid or adult dies, there are still other humans that will go on to live and make more babies.
If you can accept that Allah did not save your kid, and Vishnu did not save your kid, and Yahweh did not save your kid, and Thor did not save your kid, we'd suggest that your God does not exist, and the survival is based on both luck and DOCTORS.
The only difference between you and an atheist is that we simply reject one more god claim than you do. Understand why you reject all other claims and you'll understand why we reject your claim as well.

I agree with Beyond Saving on his Chicago comment, In fact I agree with most of Beyonds comments on this OP.
Jesuslovesyou my sister in law had a son back on June 27, he was due on Sept. 1 that's 9 weeks early. At 1.9 lbs he didn't have much of a chance. HE is still with us at 10 pounds +, his parents credit medical science; his grandmothers credit Rama & Vishnu.
Just like you jesuslovesyou I don't think Rama or Vishnu had a thing to do with it; so why would any rational person buy into JC vs. R& V?
"Very funny Scotty; now beam down our clothes."

If man was formed from dirt, why is there still dirt?
zarathustra and Beyond Saving answered this topic too well for me to do more than agree with their responses.
Enlightened Atheist, Gaming God.
I get the feeling that this may be the work of a POE more than anything else.
However, I have encountered many a theist with that same thought pattern.
There is this one dude that I am unfortunate enough to work with that is forever prattling on about "I inherited my uncle's house, I have this and I have that...(long and boring list) this is definite proof that GOD IS WORKING IN MY LIFE"
(Deliberately inserted all the caps because he has to say it in this huge profound voice like he is just so far above me).
My answer is : So people sleeping under bridges, without homes, eating out of garbage cans and facing bankruptcy are not loved by god ?
This is the same type of thinking with people that I have encountered (and have been guilty of falling prey to it myself, even after becoming an Atheist) where you hear a song on the radio that is appropriate for you or see something on the television that happens to coincide with something that is going on in your life and almost feel like it has something to do with you.
The cure ? When I hear a song on the radio station that applies to something, my immediate thought is how ridiculous it is. Why ? Because there are people all over the city, listening to that song, but somehow I am supposed to believe that the entire radio station, the DJ, and the timing of turning the radio on was all set up on a paranormal stage for me to hear it ?
I believe it was Michael Shermer that wrote "Why people believe weird things."
I definitely recommend it to anyone that suffers from the phenomena. Only problem is, in order to overcome irrational thinking of any sort (and no one overcomes it 100% probably) one has to realize that their thinking is irrational on the front end.
Now, I know this sounds like basic common sense and stuff that most people should have learned when they found out there was no Easter Bunny or Santa Claus, but it is rather surprising.
If I can find the article somewhere, I remember reading a scientific piece not too long ago, that actually stated that the more people who put "faith" into something are actually presented with evidence to the contrary, the MORE it actually drives them INTO their faith. Which is probably not completely true, but I have seen this happen. If I can find the article, I'll post it in another thread.

Hello jly. I used to "walk" with jesus and thought along the same lines as you. Like myself, im sure your testimonies are glorious and re-affirmed by the other christians you surround yourself with, and shrugged off by the heathens that must find you arrogant to think that your special friend is aligning the stars for you. Of course I knew it was all jesus and my faith working for me.
I knew a cute lil hippie chick who had the same faith in her lucky mojo bag hangin round her neck. Seriously she was afraid to leave home without it. She would claim that when shit went bad for her she realized she didnt have her mojo on at the time.
Ridiculous you say?
So what would you say to a muslim fellow who made the same exact post as you but replaced jesus with muhammad?
Ridiculous also?
I assume you come here to be challenged because you surely know your testimony holds no merit here with the unfaithful.
"...but truth is a point of view, and so it is changeable. And to rule by fettering the mind through fear of punishment in another world is just as base as to use force." -Hypatia
I guess Jesus hates amputees because they never get their limbs to grow back.
I guess Jesus hates Seattle Mariners fans because they have never won a World Series (or gone to one).
I guess Jesus hates Cleveland Browns fans because they have never won a Super Bowl (or gone to one).
I could go on, and on, and on with this but I don't want to confuse you any more than you are already. Praying to a dead frog would get you the same results as if you were praying to your false savior.
For that matter, you could compare all the good things which happened to people who didn't pray and get a higher percentage of "good things" happening than if you prayed to your fantasy god.
People who pray for specific things are often disappointed; and I bet you either have been disappointed already or will be soon enough given that the odds are against you.
Oh, and when your prayers aren't answered then don't say "the answer was no" because you have already tried to convince us that praying to your invisible friend is a sure thing.
She was born prematurely to Glorify God. Her progress was a testimony of His glory.
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.
Bullshit. That is your emotions, not reality. In reality there are tons of women and children who die in child birth. Not to mention only ONE sperm gets to the egg. Not counting all the fucking that does nothing which far outweighs the success.
Do you think that because we are atheists, the atheists who have kids cant feel the same sense of awe and relief if their kid survives? There is only one species and none of our species is under the watch of a cosmic security guard.
You fucked and had a kid, big deal. We are glad for you that your kid survived, but it was NOT magic and had nothing to do with a God.

If a human did anything of the sort (hurt someone to sell you the cure, or even hurt someone to cure them for free, in order to seem like a great healer), you would call them a monster. Hold your god to the same standard.
Theists - If your god is omnipotent, remember the following: He (or she) has the cure for cancer, but won't tell us what it is.

"You know JesusLovesYou, you are allowed to return to a thread [MORE THAN ONCE] and actually respond to what people say and then they will say something back. It is called having a conversation. I would think with your recent marriage counseling that you would be on top of that"
then every massacre, birth deformity and instant of human and animal suffering denigrates god.

How many of these trips to the hospital have been paid?
Is god going to pay the NICU bill? Isn't that like $10k per day?
Do you sleep at night or do you lay awake fretting jesus may not be there the next time you put yourself in one of those bad situations?

Navy paid her NICU bill. Jesus is ALWAYS there. There is no need to worry that He won't be. He is creator God almighty.

I do not care if you are 25 years old or approaching your mid-50s by now. The hard truth is, you have been lacking sense your whole life. After the nearly fatal highly damaging accident, (in many ways) your (the OP) lacking sense, has only intensified 65 fold.
In the Navy. The Navy has always been there. Come let us exalt the Navy. Hail the Navy, our Lady (double meaning). To you the Navy is much as Zeus would be, in the frankly sickening Hellenistic culture of old, to be given the WORSHIPFUL title Soter (Saviour), in your life thus far. How old were you again, Mr Zealot in training ?!?
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.
Naked assertions do not impress us. Get in line, other people claim other gods as well.
And you'd also have us believe Jesus is everywhere? You do realize that would include when you pee and shit and have sex. Nice god you have.

So what did jesus do? Magically induce her to be born prematurely...so he could magically accelerate her progress...so you could glorify him for doing so?

We don't doubt you say "things happened", we do doubt your interpretation of those events.
Now take this argument of "this happened to me" and ask yourself if a Muslim argued "this happened to me", would you suddenly become a Muslim?
The honest answer would be no, you would not. So don't ask us to buy your god based on "personal experience".
Again, we are glad you kid survived, and parents especially understand the feeling of fear and the feeling of relief that you felt. But there was no magical Satan that put your kid there nor was there a magical bearded man in the sky saving them.
Please keep in mind this is not our first rodeo with you, or people with other religions. I personally have been debating online since 01 and have heard this same fallacious argument of "personal experience" from not just Christians but Muslims Jews and others. The vast majority of atheists that will respond to you are far more educated than most theists.
All you have argued here is an "appeal to emotion". You lack of understanding as to the reality of how the outcome happened does not constitute your god existing, or any other for that matter. We have seen this argument countless times.

You are fishing for an argument.
You can't prove any of this stuff any more than a Hindu gives thanks to Vishnu for the "good job" or "healthy baby". It also doesn't matter what you think you can prove about your "career in the Navy". I was in the USMC and I had my ups and downs too. Does that mean god/jesus/devil/vishnu/shiva/or any other of a dozen gods have any control over me? LOL. PUHLEEEZ.
You keep claiming what you want to claim and these jokers will keep arguing with you. From my perspective you completely full of shit.
This all aside, in a couple of thousand years all religions from now will be replaced with another ones because that is what happens to religions, they ALL eventually die out.
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.

Did any of you hear about this recent story :
Should mom who microwaved baby get death?
By HLNtv.com Staffupdated 8:18 PM EDT, Mon September 23, 2013A mother convicted of microwaving her 28-month-old baby to death wants a new trial without the possibility of the death penalty.The video of this whole entire horrifying story can be found at the links above. Now, I ask all of these believers in fate and destiny how they can possibly explain something like this, if we are under the watch of Jesus ?
I would have hoped that if Jesus could have intervened in a situation where a woman could do this to her own baby, that he certainly would have. And to think that in one of the Yahoo articles that I had read, that it actually said that it took almost two minutes for this child to die.
Fucking terrifying to think that things like this go on all of the time. And these are the extreme cases. Think of all the children that are being abused, neglected and subjected to things that people would rather not talk or think about.
I just don't see how anyone could be so self-centered as to believe themselves in the fate of jesus, when things like this are going on.
Is this an appeal to emotion ? Damned straight it is. I wish for the religious to explain the reasoning behind this type of horror. Oh, that is right, the god of the bible seemed to delight in torture and death didn't he ?
“It is proof of a base and low mind for one to wish to think with the masses or majority, merely because the majority is the majority. Truth does not change because it is, or is not, believed by a majority of the people.”
― Giordano Bruno
As a Christian, do you also mispronounce the word as "glo-ree" ? Only religious people say it that way. Weird.
So while every parent even atheist parents DO understand the emotional trauma of their kid getting sick, it seems a bit selective that this "all loving" god would sit and watch and do nothing for a baby stuck in a microwave, but somehow manages to save your kid? Seems a bit of a selective deadbeat to me.
To the original poster, would you hire a baby sitter to sit your kid who said the following when interviewed.
Potential baby sitter, "Well, I have sat 100 kids so far. 33 of them I stopped a rapist and killed them at the door before they got in"
You, "sounds great"
Potential baby sitter, "Another 33 I allowed to be raped but shot the rapist after they were done"
You, "Oh, well at least you got them in the end"
Potential baby sitter, "Another 33, I allowed to be murdered and let the rapist go"
You, "Well I guess you work in mysterious ways"
Please tell all of us here if you would NOT hire a baby sitter with such a horrible spotty record, exactly what did that microwaved baby do to have an all powerful god sit on it's hands and do nothing?
Our point is to demonstrate to you the absurdity in the concept of ANY all powerful god. Humans are not gods but parents especially do everything they can to protect their kids, unlike the all powerful god they claim to believe in.
And the other aspect you don't want to face is the evolution of ALL LIFE. For every tree that makes it to become an adult, there are far more acorns and nuts and pollen that DO NOTHING. For every baby born, there are millions of sperm that DONT do anything but get excreted. For every baby alligator born, MOST don't make it to adulthood. For every fish that makes it to adult hood, there are far more fish eggs that DON'T become adults.
So when you look at the illusion of "abundant life" you fail to take into account that in evolution MOST attempts at life FAIL.
Combine that with 56 MILLION deaths of humans PER YEAR. That is including everything, disease, crime and war and old age.
But it also insults us as human beings to have you use your own kid to sell us your superstition as if we, because we don't believe in a god, somehow we are incapable of understanding the same human emotions you have about your loved ones.
Your kid almost died, that would suck for any parent. I don't have kids, but I have a mother I love and I get scared shitless when anything happens to her. I have two sisters I love and also would not want anything to happen to them. But as I said, everyone's luck runs out at some point. Facing that doesn't make us pessimistic or evil. It just means we don't assign either the good or bad that happen in life to superstition.
Again, we are glad you didn't lose your kid. But that does not make your god, or any god real.

TWO MINUTES??!!
What was the wattage?
It's only an appeal to our emotions. JLY doesn't care because it wasn't his kid.
Atheist Books, purchases on Amazon support the Rational Response Squad server, which houses Celebrity Atheists.
Before I read any other replies to this story I would say that the theists will say that it was "god's will" and/or that "Jesus only intervenes in cases where they are a believer/saved".
The later goes back to the "only people who have accepted jesus as their savior" will be helped. I posted this years ago when I had bible thumpers tell me a baby born on an island by apes would not go to heaven because they never accepted christ.

So says you.
Well, what do you know Joe ? Blast from the past (this one), from the era, the song, "Sing over Me", by another band. The One that goes, I'll hide in the shadow of Your wings, and listen, while You sing over me… Love that song!! I actually do truly love that one,. For any that are curious, AE and I have wonderful cultural/culture ties, though cords and snares encompass all around, that we both share (that can never be broken). It doesn't hurt, my entire life I have been living in a time-warp. Being raised by the World War II generation. Many of which are only recently dying out in my life. "Lili Marleen" songs, know it (blink).
That reminds me of a comment of a fictional character Duncan MacLeod made to a Sean Burns (MacLeod, the Immortal), in a re-run of, in season four episode 13 of Highlander. Where *Sean Burns made a reference to cassette tapes. MacLeod (of the Clan MacLeod) corrects him and says, "they're called CDs".
___
Who ever saw the episode or who didn't Refresh your memories, It's the episode where, an Immortal (of the Native American persuasion) a Coltec, who took upon himself to "rid the world of evil by killing as many evil Immortals as he could", by so doing eventually was overwhelmed by the Dark Quickening, ref. in the fictional series. Duncan MacLeod was forced to kill this man, by so doing, he himself was overwhelmed. As a result, Duncan seduces a woman and "then went on a rampage in Paris, ending with the beheading of another old friend, *Sean Burns"..

And I like it
That's just the way I am
Hey!
Yeah!
I'm fly
The original
I'm sly
Unpredictable...
I'm nearly irresistible
And I don't even try
I'm easily excitable,
Completely undeniable,
And sometimes almost unrealible.
Don't ask me why,
Don't ask me why (why)
(chorus)
I'm strange
And I like it
That's just the way I am
I can't change
I can't hide it
That's just the way I am

I'm strange
And I like it
That's just the way I am
