What are you talking about? I don't believe in your sky-daddy. Period. I don't believe in an afterlife or a heaven or a hell. I don't need outside things to get me through the day. Apparently others do.

Except that their outreach projects consist of blowing people up. Muslims have the right to prosletyze...I've never suggested they didn't.
And christers kill doctors in church.
There's no difference between pushing your religion on others if it's unwanted. No matter what brand of sky-daddy you have.


Some of were those things, yes. If you find someone that still is, then they're not Christian. It's that simple.
You get to decide who belongs to your club? Aren't you doing what your sky-daddy should be doing? Judging.

Well I was asking because I guess centuries ago Christians used to call Muslims "Mohamedans", which apparently they did not like so the term went away. In Mark Twain's The Innocents Abroad they are referred to as such, I'm assuming with no ill intent.

I don't care if you believe Oprah is the goddess in the sky...it doesn't change things. Honestly..you call me arrogant for daring to say I'm right, but you're just as arrogant as anyone for throwing out your "sky-daddy" insults.

There is a God. He has told us how to know Him. He's not a "sky-daddy". He is the Creator of the Universe.

No, they don't. A wingnut wacko killed an abortionist. But he wasn't a Christian and the abortionist wasn't a doctor.

You push your "non-belief" on me, though. You're the one that's here whining about it on an internet message board. Honestly...who is the bigot here?

I was actually quoting Paul, the apostle. He wrote 1/2 the New Testament.

I honestly had never heard the term. I can see that though....people used a lot of terms to identify people 100 years ago that wouldn't be used now. That's probably a reasonable title for back then.

Nope, muslims, I refer to christers as christers or xians.
You have a preference as to what I call you, why does it matter?

There is a God. He has told us how to know Him. He's not a "sky-daddy". He is the Creator of the Universe.
Using man made words for your imaginary friend. Prove that your sky-daddy created the universe. I'll wait. Just your imagination.

No, they don't. A wingnut wacko killed an abortionist. But he wasn't a Christian and the abortionist wasn't a doctor.
He was a christer; and the MD is, of course, a doctor. Duh.

You push your "non-belief" on me, though. You're the one that's here whining about it on an internet message board. Honestly...who is the bigot here?
If generic you kept your religious beliefs to yourselves, there would be no issue. It's when you want your beliefs to color my secular world, it becomes a problem.

I was actually quoting Paul, the apostle. He wrote 1/2 the New Testament.
After your no record of god thing was "dead" for how long? Ever hear of the Council of Nicea?

I honestly had never heard the term. I can see that though....people used a lot of terms to identify people 100 years ago that wouldn't be used now. That's probably a reasonable title for back then.
Again, responses in red.

You don't push your religion on others?
Here's a post of yours refuting that statement:

Does it bother you that we believe in Christ that you need to try to insult us with a new title? We're Christians. Where does "christer" come from?

I'm sure you have a legitimate reason in your mind for hating on Christians. I get it. You referred to pedophiles, and abortionist killers...I realize that not everyone that calls themselves "Christian" is not a nice person. But it's not correct to judge all of us by one nut job.

Prove God didn't. The idea that it just happened is just totally crazy and out there. It's simple, common sense logic. If the universe exists, something caused it to exist. Until you can tell me how that happened, your arguments are bankrupt.

I can call myself a cow but it doesn't mean I am one. And that guy might have been educated as a Doc, but he made a living killing babies. Duh.
