The Lie: There Are Many Paths To God - The Truth: Jesus Is The Only Way To God

@redredred
What's your story, Red, why are you so bitter?

@GodSpeed63 I belong to a species that has spent at least 50,000 years digging itself out of ignorant superstition toward the light of reason and rational behavior. It sickens me to see idiocy like religion, astrology and other worthless superstitions dragging humanity back toward the depths of ignorance.

@redredred
50,000? Where'd you dig that number up?


It sickens me too how people think that religion can save them.


What makes you think that belief in God is a superstition? BTW, you never told your story.

@redredred Why is it ludricrous? The spirit world does not go by, nor is defined by the same physically limited rules that apply in this dimension. That's why they call it Supernatural because it is, and I've seen people healed by the supernatural.

@LadyGrace you don’t have evidence, let alone proof, of a single syllable of what you just wrote.

@redredred Oh sure I do but I don't need to prove it to you to feel validated. How about you answer my question. Or can you?

@LadyGrace it’s ludicrous because the idea that there’s a sky-daddy that takes care of you if you say the right magic words, adhere to his non-rational diet and ignore the other 40,000 gods that all make pretty much the same claims and requirements is silly, stupid and basically shameful for any one.

@redredred
Hmm....i guess others could say the same about your beliefs. So what? Ludicrous to you. You're assuming it takes magic words. Has it ever occurred to you, that you just might be wrong about some things? And what if you are? Christians don't have to assume things about God or use magic words. They know in Whom they believe, and why. We stand on the solid promises of God. Those stand forever. What do you have to stand on, except assumptions and guessing games? And you can call it Pascal's Wager or whatever you want, but the truth of the matter is, if Christians are wrong, we've lost nothing. But if you are wrong, you have lost everything, including your own soul, for eternity, and you would think, as smart of a guy as you think you are, with all that intelligence, you would want to make darn sure that you and your family don't miss heaven...just in case you're wrong.

@redredred
What's way more ludicrous and irresponsible, is that someone would gamble with their own soul, leaving its destiny to chance. That's just tragic when they could have saved themselves. Eternity is an awfully long time to get it wrong. It sounds like pride and stubbornness, when a person won't say one simple prayer.... "Lord, I know I'm a sinner. I ask you to forgive me and come into my heart and life as my Savior." Yep I guess that's really hard. I guess you're too good for that.

@redredred Being religious is part of the human condition. It’s not always something spiritual, but everyone worships someone or something. The trick is to find something worthy to worship.

@JPWhoo bullshit. I don’t worship anything and most of those who claim to are faking it. Rape, murder, theft and deceit are part of the human condition too and spring from the same dark pit as religion and your bogus spirituality.

@redredred
If that were true, Red, you'd be dead in the ground. Where's your story, Red?

@GodSpeed63 I’m very much alive. The god bullshit is repellant to me. I just believe in one fewer god than you do out of the 40,000 myths people like you have fallen for.

@redredred Nope, all humans don’t rape, murder, or steal, but all humans are religious. Religion is transformation in response to a perceived ultimacy. As humans we are constantly changing, right? Otherwise we’d be dead. So how are we constantly changing? In response to our perceived ultimacy. Whatever you value most, that’s your perceived ultimacy, and that is changing you somehow. People who worship Jesus (not just going through the motions of praying, going to church, and performing rituals, but those that actually value him the most) become more Christ-like, following his teachings. Those that worship money become more adept at obtaining it and holding onto it and become more like Ebenezer Scrooge in “A Christmas Carol”. Those are just two examples.

@JPWhoo I am not religious at all. Fools like you can twist what passes for logic in your crabbed little brains but just because you fell for the bullshit doesn’t mean I did.

It’s a crappy myth, just one of forty thousand other god myths.

@redredred Oh there’s infinite number of gods out there. Everyone worships something, even you, Mr. Tough stuff. You might not worship a mythical deity, maybe you worship something secular, perhaps even concrete. But something that you value more than anything else is changing you, transforming you in your life’s journey. Do you deny that?

@redredred
Glad to hear it Red. That means you still believe and have faith. What's your story, red?

@GodSpeed63 my story is a good education, a very strong sense of logic and an extreme distaste for superstitious nonsense like astrology, alien abduction, religion of any sort and myths about invisible sky-daddies you might call gods.

@redredred
Like what, Red? You haven't told me anything yet.

@GodSpeed63 A BA in English, a Masters in economics and an MBA, I read physics for entertainment and I’ve been an amateur astronomer for nearly fifty years. What’s your resume?

@redredred
So?

@GodSpeed63 well, what high school did you drop out of?

@redredred
Like you, Red, I didn't drop out of any high school.

@GodSpeed63 couldn’t get in, huh?

@redredred
Where's your story, Red?
