"Atheism is what happens when you read the bible. Christianity is what happens when somebody else reads it for you." - Bertrand Russell

@PatientlyWaiting25 i’m reading the Bible and it’s making me more atheist

@PatientlyWaiting25 23 Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. 24 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it. 25 What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit their very self? 26 Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.

27 “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.”

…. Not convincing

@Ferise1 what's not convincing? That seems a really straight forward passage to me and not that challenging.

@PatientlyWaiting25 it’s made up!

@Ferise1 It's clearly convicting you because you keep posting all this stuff and can't just leave it though, you can't deny that the Bible is a powerful book that at the very least will search your heart.

@PatientlyWaiting25 it’s not powerful at all. It’s just made up stories and where did they find a John James and Mark in the Middle East? It was all written 60 years after Jesus‘s death.

@Ferise1 sixy years is really not that long a time period.

@PatientlyWaiting25 of course it is it was written by people who didn’t even know Jesus

@Ferise1 ancient Jewish people were very skilled at remembering oral stories.

@PatientlyWaiting25 it’s not credible at all the more I read the more I’m an atheist

@Ferise1 it is your choice.

@PatientlyWaiting25 no it’s precisely not a choice!!!

@PatientlyWaiting25 it’s like try to believe the moon is made of cheese. You can think it you can say it, but you won’t believe it.
Same thing
