if you make one of these threads but replace all of the "jesus" and "god" and such a replace it with "the great tempter mara" then you have got a new devout follower mate.

Salamander, stop dodging, while trying to maintain an outward facade of aloofness. You're hurt inside, but you incorrectly blame God. It's the fault of evil humans among you.

I prefer to walk barefoot

Why do you feel that way?

The true God is cooler than any fictional god of mythology, both historical, and video gamical. ;)

What's your beef with him? Tell us your story. I and more than the amount you think won't judge you here. True Christians want to be your ally more than they want to be your enemy.

i have no beef with god, i have said that in every one of these threads. i love theology and mythology and find them fascinating as an avid reader and enjoyer of dark fantasy and horror. god is no enemy of mine, nor christians. i believe anyone can and should be able to be believing whatever they wish about the nature of our reality.

as none of us can ever truly be sure anyway, aye? so it matters not to me.

Interesting how you pick the Abrahamic god out of all the gods that have ever been made up.

Obviously you were raised Christian and haven't started to question your own faith, or other faiths, or exercise any critical thinking whatsoever. You do you. You may have a fundamentalist family who would not take kindly to you deconverting, so while living under their roof it would be best not to learn about the world and stay in your tiny bubble in the vast ocean.

and a ring in your ear,

You are either ignorant of the scriptures or trolling everyone at this point. Do you know what ear piercings signify in ancient Israelite law? Its all to do with slavery.

He's talking about slavery.

Ear piercing was a symbolic act signifying a slave's permanent commitment to their master, chosen after serving a limited term of servitude. You can find more information about this in Exodus 21:1-6 and Deuteronomy 15:12-18. House will deny it of course, saying we misinterpreted the practices. No religious evil practice isn't without its apologists.
