.......I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known ? , except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. Romans 7:7

Are you telling me that you don't believe in ? , therefore there is no such sin as covetousness? So, as a result you can do whatever you want, pursue materialism without restraint, indulge in all of your lusts without consequence.


Why aren't atheists constantly winning then??? what's holding you back from mercilessly taking whatever you want as long as you can "get away" with it?


Serious question.

    "CLAIMING" Christian is a great tool for fueling your lusts, Christians are known to other true Christians by their fruits, fruits of righteousness and kindness so we are not decieved by every tom ? and harry that says "hey, I'm a Christian!"


    So your statement actually makes no sense. Like I said in another thread I could go around claiming to be an albino Panamanian midget but as soon as you see me, you would know that I'm not that at all.......It's kinda like that.

    I've heard the whole "? was even a Christian" Bullsh*t before GTFOHWTBS

    It was a sincere question. let's see if we can get an answer from somebody that isn't being deceptive wit themself.


    PEACE

    A likely story. That's a major fault with religion right there. You deny another's beliefs because of what they do. A true christian response would be that everybody falls short but a true christian prays for forgiveness.

    For me, knowing that this is the only life, i rather live it peacefully rather then making enemies which is a recipe for an early or unpleasant end. I also rather not live it lying to myself and creating illogical restrictions based off belief. Why isn't this in R&R?

    The answer is obvious. Christians always want to know where your "moral compass" comes from but the majority of that ? can be answered with simple logic.

    This is a respectable response. I made this thread because I'm a ghetto niqqa from the hood who just happens to be convicted by the Bible at every turn. I would be a beast if i didn't have something to keep me humble, in my case it's not the so called religious people in the church building.......but it's the Bible itself.....It's an unavoidable mirror that shows me the dirt that I have on me that I can't wash off on my own.


    I'm just curious to know by what mechanism do you subdue your inner beast if you're a non-believer.......No diss to anyone!!!

    and yeah this probably should be moved to R&R

    Society created the idea of good and evil, not a ? . When we remove a ? from the equation, we answer to ourselves. We no longer sin against a ? but humanity. I try to refrain from causing suffering on my "brothers and sisters" because they are just that.
