Quote of the Day, by exreformed

I spent over a decade studying systematic theologies, apologetics, and hard core Bible study. I even learned a good deal of Greek so I could translate the N.T. for myself. I spent many, many, hours in prayer to no avail. Finally after years of vigorous study, and unanswered prayer and an outsider test of faith, I became an agnostic.

It is so liberating not having to defend Christianity anymore. Not only do you have to accept the ridiculous story of Noah and his ark, but you also have to defend eternal conscious torment, and of course you have to defend against all of the cults: Mormonism, J.W.'s, Muslims, Catholics. No wonder I had a nervous breakdown.

Thanks to exreformed for sharing.

This brings to mind one thing abut Christianity - and Evangelical Christianity in particular - that never ceases to amaze me...

...The unbelievable lack of compassion that their religion shows to anyone of the "wrong" religion.

Merely by being born we earn eternal damnation - unless we are Christian.

John, your quote of the day states that Christians have to defend an eternal hell?

Tsk. You know that isn't true.

Exreformed's story is a lot like mine. It took me 21 years to wake up and free myself from the delusion of christianity. Congrats to him for busting free!

You have James Patrick Holding as a link to your web page LMAO. (laughing my ass off, just in case you don't know what it means. His real name is not even J.P. Holding it is Robert Turkel. He is a fraud with a masters in library research he could not even wipe Bart Ehrmans nose.

@exreformed

It is true that J.P. Holding is not his original name. So what?

Mark Twain is actually "Samuel Clemens", so what?

Is it that it's good and dandy for people to use pen names (and/or) change their legal name, EXCEPT if it's a Christian apologist in which case it's not acceptable?

"He is a fraud with a masters in library research he could not even wipe Bart Ehrmans nose."

what specifically makes him a fraud? So what of his degree? their are likewise internet atheists with degrees not directly related to the propositions they defend.

you're better off attacking the content of the work than the chracter of the person.

I don't blame you: I'm laughing my "S" off whenever I go to that particular link also .. (And J.P.H. didn't write that article: a dead Frech guy did). :-)
