“I don’t understand how people can be so mean. You don’t know what’s going on in the other person’s life and you make it worse by tormenting them. Everyone deserves to be happy.” - Devoted to Christ”
No-one is tormenting you, Devoted to Christ. Do you think non-Christians deserve to be happy? If your faith makes you happy then that is wonderful - but stop pretending that other people need your faith to be happy. You don’t know what’s going on in their lives. Everyone deserves to be happy - not just Christians.

“For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is a gift of God; not as result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before so that we would walk in them.” - Ephesians 2:8-10
So if I don’t have your faith I do not deserve God’s grace. I “deserve” hell.
How does that make sense? Please explain it to me!?!?

“Take the first step, in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.”
Martin Luther King, Jr (via hedwyg)
Faith is all very well, but I’m sure the blessed undercover nun will agree with me when I posit that none of us * know * what is out there, so Ido wish people would stop using their beliefs as excuses for persecuting and discriminating and hating and bashing and claiming exclusive access to the “truth”…

“Just believe” is a terrible argument
“Just believe” Christians tell me, and their religion will make sense.
What a terrible argument.
If I “just believe” swans are green, that does not make swans green.
If I “just believe” I am a princess, that does not me a princess.
“Just believing” in Christianity does not make it true any more than a Christian “just believing” in Islam will make them a Muslim or make Islam true.

“If religion is holding on to a rock in the middle of a raging river; faith is learning how to swim; atheism is simply staying out of dangerous waters…”
Modified quote from an Unknown source (via waggygee)
“
“…Reason is the greatest enemy that faith has; it never comes to the aid of spiritual things, but more frequently than not struggles against the divine Word, treating with contempt all that emanates from God…”
“…Reason should be destroyed in all Christians…”
“…Whoever wants to be a Christian should tear the eyes out of his reason…”
” Martin Luther

“I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move.”
Matthew 17v20 (Bible) (via ellespeak)
MAJOR BIBLE FAIL…
