Why are christians so desperate to deny those who became Atheists were ever christians? [Spirituality & Religion]

I used to be a devout christian but, after seriously studying the bible and examining my faith, determined it was all BS. I found the bible to be nothing more than a jumble of myths and superstitions taken from various older belief systems and frequently contradictory. As a result of my studies, I became an Atheist.

Now I find some christians are desperate to deny I was ever a christian. They just can't accept the fact that a christian could ever break away from "the truth" (as they like to call their beliefs) to become an Atheist. The idea is so alien to them they deny it's even possible. They even claim to know what the person experienced better than that person knows. Another claim is that I couldn't have studied the bible "properly" and that I should ask (their) "god" for help. What are they so scared of?

I don't deny it at all. God speaks of those people in the Bible, they are called Reprobates. All the evidence was there, they understand it and rejected it. When that happens God then rejects that person. That is what a Reprobate is. They have no hope, their end is to be destroyed and they know it.

@Reverend Evidence? What evidence? 🤦‍♀️

suzie1960 · 61-69, F

@Harriet03 They don't have any. They just keep repeating the same tired old rubbish hoping someone will eventually believe them.

Harriet03 · 41-45, F

@suzie1960 That's why they go for the children! Indoctrination early.. SICK 🤷‍♀️

Reverend · M

@Harriet03 evidence of what?

Reverend · M

@suzie1960 thats cute, i bet you hear abour Reprobates everyday dont you? Youve heard it a million times.

Harriet03 · 41-45, F

@Reverend Do you know what the term Reprobate means?

Reverend · M

@Harriet03 The difference between believers and yourself. A believer knows what they believe, they know where they are headed, the know from where they came and they dont waiver on it. They dont change because the next Stephen Hawking made a prediction from his wheelchair. Basically, we know what we believe, you dont even have the capability of doing that for yourself.🤷‍♂️

@Reverend So God is not loving. Thanks for admitting that you serve a tyrant.

Reverend · M

@Harriet03 Yes, I do. Biblically speaking. God has given up on that SICK individual. His love has turned to hate, there is zero chance of life for that person.

Harriet03 · 41-45, F

@Reverend Your indoctrinated into what to believe. We think for ourselves!
As there is no God, the term Reprobate is meaningless..

Reverend · M

@canusernamebemyusername God is loving, he loves everyone until a line is crossed, one that is difficult to cross. Contrary to what you might hear about God being all love, he isnt. There are 22 mentions of God hating in the bible.

Reverend · M

@Harriet03 I was indoctrinated into nothing, i wasnt taken to church as a child or anything else. Reprobate means exactly what i said it means. Im sorry if you fall in the guidelines of such, im hoping not vut i havent interacted with you enough to know. You dont know what you believe, you have no certainty at all about anything. You can call it thinking for yourself if you like.

Harriet03 · 41-45, F

@Reverend Just a smidge of evidence, would be handy hun!
Call me old fashioned 🤷‍♀️

Reverend · M

@Harriet03 Evidence of what? Im not clear on what evidence your asking for. If your asking for evidence of Gods existence, I cant do that. All the evidence we have is a self sustaining world in all its beauty. That alone is enough for me to believe theres a bigger power.

Harriet03 · 41-45, F

@Reverend Yes it's called Science hun. Evolution, you might of heard of it?

Reverend · M

@Harriet03 no hun im sorry, the gaps of evolution does nothing for me. Evolution has no sold ground to stand on, no pun intended.

Harriet03 · 41-45, F

@Reverend You a Genesis guy?

Reverend · M

@Harriet03 Im not sure what you mean. Im a Bible person.

CopperCicada · M

@Reverend [i]hun[/i]

Are you a reverend?

Harriet03 · 41-45, F

@Reverend Genisis is the first book hun!! 🤷‍♀️
Creation of the world etc.

Reverend · M

@CopperCicada no im not a reverend, I was given this name by an atheist friend i had that is no longer with us.

Reverend · M

@Harriet03 So your question is, do i believe in creation as portrayed in the bible? Yes i do.

Harriet03 · 41-45, F

@Reverend Do you tell children that??
