How to deliver the Message of the Creator-God?
No, it isn't against the law, but it is against having respect for others, which is something you don't appear to have.
Actually, a social call would be not be one in which the sole intent and purpose was to evangelize a religion.
But, I can understand why you would defend those folks, as they too denounce other religions in order to support their own.
Yes, I would suspect you would find degrading other religions reasonable and you're free to do so and be thankful it isn't against the law.
Funny though, Muslims don't offer the same "reasonable" freedoms when it comes to others criticizing their religion.
Isn't that a double standard?
Not for you, buddy...I have already heard some of your schpeel...and I ain't buyin' it!
Move Along...though...Next?!
Always got to get the last word in...don'cha?
Funny how some people don't see how telling other people what to believe and how to live is disrespectful.....

0But - you believe nonsense and are always trying to get others to believe the same nonsense you do.
Odd that you do not understand this. Perhaps now you will stop sharing your hate mongering.
As if.As opposed to your "message" which is different every time?
LOLOLOL
This is why your religion causes so many conflicts.
Stop spreading nonsense - I stop telling you it is nonsense.
Deal?LOL
But you are lying and have no Truth.
Oh well - Kausing Konflict For Satan is wot u r all about i Guess.
This would be why your religion causes so many conflicts.You go girl
Suns out ,think I might take a lil walk.
Maybe when I get back Beezel and Mark might have started their own thread,instead of causing confict again on Christian onesI think they get bored without us.
Have fun on your walk!Brenda, I think so too
Kiwi, Enjoy your walk. I have completed my walk for today.
Really? I thought your majik book told you not do do this.
Silly me. I have actually read it of course.
LOLOL
So - you won't let him just get on with it huh?
You don't trust him enough to leave the work to him?
Jesus is not capable of speaking to me himself.
You need to spread the word because you have no faith in the Power of the Lord.
You are not standing in Awe of God's Power.
You do not trust Jesus.
You feel you are qualified to speak for him and I won't notice unless you warn me the shark is going to eat me?
Sadly - this is why your religion causes so many conflicts.
I wonder how many people "come to jesus" without the carrot and the stick sales pitch from the unpaid sheeple?
I am going with ZERO.
If the world doesnt judge them ,rest assured God will. In fact He says Woe to them ,who should know better ,but do not do it.
Woe to them who use His name in vain,thats an awful lot of churches and well known churchy people.
All who call me Lord will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven ,in fact God says He doesnt even regonise their voice?
No Justice will be done -for everyoneNo church but a perfect one will ever earn my respect, if there is a perfect God then only a perfect church will do as an institution to build around this perfect God concept. This is the first post of yours that has given me any inkling that under all the religious sounding rhetoric you might actually be slightly spiritual, to bad you don't speak from a spiritual place and rather use the language of religion and subsequently control because in real life I can just about imagine having an interesting conversation with you about the nature of things, like nature
We might even be able to agree on basic concepts of right and wrong without the religious language getting in the way. As someone who does not think God gives a toss what I believe and might (or might not) have a passing interest in what I do I still believe that trying to be a good person by constantly critically thinking about every choice to discover what impact you will have is the way to go. Humanity will not survive otherwise and no God is needed to understand that by having a destructive impact on the lives of others puts humanity itself at ever so slightly greater risk of destroying itself. When I hear someone say that religion and God are wrong what I see is someone who has seen the history of destruction caused by religion trying to take a stand and do something to stop something with such potential to create human suffering and worse. I may believe in a god concept but I have more respect for the angry atheist because I see someone trying to do a good thing for the world whereas I see a religious person spouting religious slogans I see someone who isn't thinking cause it's easier to let religion do it for them.No, there isn't. No one has ever shown that "thing" whatever that "thing" is supposed to be. Sorry.
Well that took me so long to compose (kept going off on tangents, something I am prone to do) I am now having to think about bed time!
I am sure there will be some interesting reading when I wake and am looking for distractions from work
People who hate God will do an say anything to get a reaction ,even if its a lie.
They do not want everyone to have the same rights as themselves.
They want to control what you say ,who you say it too and when you say it.
I am commanded to love them (love everyone) but I will resist their ideas and their lies whenever I meet them
I am liberated from being bound up and give God the glory for my freedomI can agree with that.
kiwi, Well stated post.
Agreed. It's a game in an attempt to silence us, and yes we are imperfect people.
God bless you Brenda.Really? Then by your own words, you would have to be saying something in the first place if you were in fact trying to be silenced. And, considering you have the freedom of religion and the freedom of speech, who exactly is trying to silence you?
Thats exactly why you pop up like a rubber duck everytime Christians gather Beezle.
Like a moth to flame ,you cant stay away.
Why not start a thread about 'What Do Athiests believe in" and see if we flock thereSo, you post this and you expect no response?
In other words, what you're saying is that "everytime Christians gather" it is to make open and public declarations that there are god haters and that they will lie, and that they want to take away your right to state there are god haters and that they will lie.
Uh-huh.
Very funny Beelzedad
I never stated I was trying to be silenced. You are truly a master of twisting my words around. Yes I do have the freedom of speech. I don't need to answer that question. If the shoe fit, wear it. Have a happy day.
Funny how you deny reality as well as deny things you said.
Faith is believing in things unseen.
Anyone can believe in what they can see-
Beelze thats the difference!
No eye has seen ,no ear has heard .....Yes, I know, the difference between believing in leprechauns and unicorns and gods; faith. Yeah, I get that.
And, had you been indoctrinated into a leprechaun belief system instead of religion, you would state emphatically that leprechauns existed as it is "believing in things unseen".
WOC.
Do you remember childhood games we played that drove our parents nuts! saying things like.
I know you are ,you said you are?
Im (insert lastest whatever) now ,what are you?
Im taller ,no I am , Ive got brown shoes so there na na na na na
kiwi, Yes I remember
I think it should be allowed
I mean, since when has it been illegal to save someone's life?frogtalk.I never heard of it being illegal to save someone's life.
Those who come with the sole purpose of promoting their religion unannounced on ones doorstep are not objects of the occupants happiness. Far from that.
Of course, having the right of freedom of religion and freedom of speech does give you the right to evangelize a religion door to door, and many would defend those freedoms.
However, you shouldn't expect to see happiness from an occupant who understands that using those freedoms to promote a religion door to door is intellectually dishonest to the principles those freedoms represent and shows a motive lacking of integrity and respect.
It should be perfectly alright, as a propagandist, you successfully maintain control over the entire time of delivering the message irrespective of the occupants desires or wishes that you do indeed need to deliver it and they need to receive it.
