You Should Believe In God In Case You Die Suddenly – An Interesting Argument IndeedNot long ago, a gentleman tried to convince me to convert into being a religious follower. His strategy or one of them that is, was to tell me that I should believe in god in case something bad happened and I died suddenly, unable to repent for my sins or ask god for forgiveness. Apparently, assuming that everyone tries this just prior to their death; just in case that is? Well, maybe some people do those who are sitting on the fence for instance.
I Don’t Understand Your Views On Life Because You Don’t Have Religion – He SaidAre folks who are religious stupid? Some non-religious people believe so, personally I don’t see it that way, as I see living your life with a certain set of values, could in fact be an honorable way to live. Some generate their own values from their observations and experience, others simply borrow them from religion and the wise folks who’d lived their lives previously and written down their best advice on how one should live their life in this realm. Which way is better you ask? Well, I suppose it depends on the individual, and the religion doesn’t it?
Dormant DamageWhat do wood bores and bitterness have in common? They both contribute to dormant damage.
Asking God to Save You Is Just One Step Before Asking The Government TooNot long ago, a religious chap told me that god would take me in and all I had to do was spend 30-seconds, close my eyes, and ask god for forgiveness and invite him into my life, and accept him as my personal savior. Interesting concept isn’t it – from a philosophical standpoint, and from a psychological conditioning standpoint that is.
The Religious Recruiters Misguided Belief That Everyone Needs a God to Cope and HopeIndeed, as I traveled the nation sitting in coffee shops around this country, I noted that every time I turned around someone was trying to recruit me either to their religion or some multi-level-marketing business, sometimes both. Of course, over time I’ve learned to spot these sneaky folks a mile away, and I could tell by their first few sentences what they were up to. One common trick the religious recruiters use is to find a weakness, then offer up their religion and god as the solution, but boy does it frustrate them when they find someone with no weaknesses – they just cannot relate with it at all.
You May Not Need God Today, But You Will – Get Saved Today, Is What He Had to SayOne technique often attempted and used by those who have found the fear of their invisible friend (aka God) to recruit people into their superstitious cult is to witness to the potential newcomer a particular experience of when the religious individual was down and out, with nowhere to turn, and they turned to god and everything worked out for them. Thus, they reasoned there really is a god, and he can help others too, so I must go out and tell them. Then they go out and worship, proselytize, and harass non-believers into conversion.
Seeing BeyondMany Christians have the problem of near sightedness. What they see is only the immediate circumstances, not the positives that the future holds. They must stop struggling with the problem and start proclaiming the victory.

Countdown to the End of the World: What Did Jesus Prophesy on His Way to Golgotha?While the countdown of end of the world events in the 24th chapter of Matthew is the most significant prophecy in the gospels, there is a prophecy in the book of Luke that is worth a great deal of contemplation. This prophecy was uttered by Christ on His way to be crucified and can only found in the book of Luke. In His response to the tears of the women who were bewailing His death sentence, Jesus made the following statement: “Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.
