God.

[sc281]

Allow me to rephrase my answer to your rephrased question thus:

I know God is real, and arguments to the contrary are made-up (or imaginary if you prefer).

So you've seen him?

Moses, is that you?

Double negative.....nix-nix

Gramatically incorrect but logically sound. Let me rephrase it:

You don't believe that God is fictional, made-up, or imaginary, correct?

[The King]

So be it, I'll take your comments into consideration.

I hear ya...you have to stand for your beliefs, but the method of your stand is what is being questioned.

[The King]

It means do not compromise yourself or your beliefs simply to be like or be liked by everyone else. The Word of God is what it is, and while it may make some people uncomfortable that doesn't mean it should be or will be diluted down to make it more palatable.

What I don't give a shit about is simple attention-whoring threads, which is what this one is. There are others, but I choose this one right now to give the due respect it deserves.

It doesn't matter to me whether you come down on anyone. This isn't a popularity contest, and I see sanitizing one's beliefs to fit in with the herd as being completely worthless. Regardless, this thread is an attention whoring thread, plain and simple, regardless of what forum it's in.

Please explain those words. He makes a valid point...What does it mean to be a Christian...in your eyes? You come across as self-righteous and condescending. Not only in this kind of thread, but even in the nonreligious threads. Why is that?Do you just not give a shit about anybody but yourself and your own agendas? That's not very Christian of you...

[The King]

In reality, I left out the complete book minus a few verses. Look man. I'm not trying to come down on you. I just thought I'd take a stab at trying to settle you down a bit. You do more harm than good. Ain't no one wants to listen to you because your words are full of spite and it makes you come off as a ass. No one spends much time with an ass. Know what I mean?

But you also don't believe that there is no God, correct?

You left out "turn the other cheek", to wit:

Matthew 5:39 (KJV)
.....but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

[The King]

You would like to believe that, but merely believing something doesn't make it true.

Hey, look, a theme for/against religion/atheism!

I don't believe that, therefore not believing that must make it true.

[Nash B.]

That's a non-issue, because you're much more easily played than you should be.

If you choose not to defend your faith, that's your decision but is not mine. Threads such as this are started simply as a mockery, and if you see them as anything different then by all means speak up or be content to sit back in silence. I won't judge you as being right or wrong either way, as you are attempting to do here, because I know that I don't have any authority to do so.

Defend our faith? Do good to those that persicute you. Love your enemies. Forgive us our traspasses as we forgive those that traspasses against us. The list goes on.
