Win Prizes Ask an Atheist II

[Gethelred]

Welcome to the Ask an Atheist thread II.

Previous part:

Win Prizes - Ask an Atheist - Shoe's on the other foot now!

Alright, we're going to have a change of tack. As I'm sure you can see, the thread title has been changed to Ask an Atheist. People who have a question to ask of the atheists who populate this thread - more than the christians do - should feel free to ask questions of them. If you've still got...

Because that's their golden ticket for getting others to believe like they do. It's fear mongering. For example, Rapture teaching is relatively new for Christianity. Not really embraced till around 1830. It's pure craziness, but it has worked so they keep using it.

But they funny thing is everyone in evangelical Seppo land knows how the Mormons and the JWs aren't "real" Christians, but not enough know how much of their rapture theology came from the leader of another questionable Second great awakening sect. How many of them are aware of this?

Mainstream Christians do not regard the Rapture, and Jesus and Paul did not believe it.
Mainly American evangelists.

Yes but vast majority believe we are living in 'end times'. About 60% according to Pew.

Trump to the rescue? unless he is indeed the antiChrist. Time will tell.

He wants everyone to read the Bible, hardly the antiChrist. How convenient to accuse someone when it doesn't suit you. What about God's chosen people??

How typical is your post. You have no idea about what suits me. Perhaps you don't get the antiChrist concept. It is not my theory, but many people believe Trump could well be. He will present as the peacemaker of the world...I personally do not know, and Trump at least is a doer.

I posted the stat here, vast majority of the Christians voted for Trump. So you are wrong.

Irrelevant. Most people voted for him, and around the world, that would probably be the case.
He could well be the antiChrist, as I said, but we will only know over time. Unlikely but possible.

How is it irrelevant when your heathens think he is the one to rescue America? they must not be real Christians then. LOL

You hold a minority position.

As I said, it is NOT my position. No need making argumentative comments.
If you are not aware of the theory, and have not heard the comments, be thankful that you've been informed.
I reiterate , it is unlikely but possible, and not my position.

Everything is possible, but that's hardly my point. Sure there might be others who agree with you, but that's not my point either. I said vast majority of the Christians disagree.

The Antichrist is no more real than any other fictitious villain such as Voldemort or Sauron.

Most people voted for him

Define “most”. Does just under 50% of those who voted equate to “most”? When about as many who voted for each major candidate didn’t bother to vote for either?

Poorly worded statement, meaning majority, but not what I was getting at.

Is that what you think, Jesus is not real?
But if you agree He was a real person, but disagree with the N T descriptions, so be it.

The character in NT the myth was built on is real, the myth isn't.

We had a 6 year discussion on this..go back and read.
