I get it Dennis. A have duked it out with staunch Catholics and occasionally one will be saved. The RCC is a brutal institution and has been responsible for millions of deaths globally since their beginnings. Truly sorry for those wasted years. Seems you have thrown the baby out with the bathwater. I am 81. Lived among both Catholics and Jews as a kid. As a Goy and an unbeliever I walked a fine line. Was 34 when I had an encounter with the living God. Never looked back. Sweet and sublime. Perhaps you’ll actually confess and repent one day. Blessings.

You are a condescending old prick!

I had an encounter with the living God bovine excrement!

How did you know it was God?

"Oh, but there's evidence for Gods existence! There are so many things!"

“There's...... uhh......eeermm ... I saw God’s face and I talk to him!”

Every fucking time.

Personal experience is NOT a valid reason to believe anything. If it were, we would have no way of determining whose experience reflects reality. Believers cannot rationally reason that personal experiences are the pathway to truth ~ because they don’t accept other people’s experiences as proof of the claims they make with whom they disagree.

“Every God is false, except the one I believe in” - every religious person I’ve known.

There are ways of determining what is actually true. Claims from Personal Experience is not one of them.

Ultimately, as with so many expressions it all comes down to intent. But the next time a Christian says, “I’ll pray for you,” and "Perhaps you’ll actually confess and repent one day" ~ notice how the sentence is used.

Is it a kind expression of love and concern, or is it what it is meant to be ~ a slap in your face? "I am superior to you. I know the truth - you are ignorant!"

The fact is Christians don't think they're smart enough to live their lives without some sort of divine intervention. They need their imaginary crutch!

Wow. Dennis you really have alot of powerful bitterness after your life with the RCC. Almost PTSD. Your deep wounds reveal a broken heart in every word you write. It is near impossible to navigate life in the midst of that brokenness. And I know it’s difficult for a spouse as well. There is a remedy but you make a habit of stiff-arming the only Man who can help you. Life and death is in the power of the tongue. They that love either will eat the fruit thereof. You always choose death by the words you say and write. Such a pity.

Really? And all this time I thought it might be the power of the penis or the big bang.

I just spent 15 - 20 minutes reading your anti-Jesus rantings, Dennis. I have an idea, why not quit your atheist diatribe and William stop his “Christian” challenges. JHK’s blog would by 1/3 shorter.

“And quit your fucking preaching”?

Try following your own request.

So my critics of Williams religion are rants and diatribes.

And his nonsense, insults and telling me I'm going to hell are just polite "challenges" to me?

You are a piece of work my friend! GMAFB.

If religion was kept in their churches and their heads, and they would quit always insisting they are superior to me, I'd be generally OK with that.

But the truth is that all religion whack jobs, not only Christian Jesus freaks like you John: The divided states of delusion, hubris, arrogance, ignorance, hypocrisy and stupidity. People killing each other trying to decide who has the best imaginary friend.

You shouldnt call yourself a Goy. That would be the enemies terminology.
