@chaney3 saidWe are told to strive to enter into the narrow way, one of the things about that is
Fake.
that we should be worrying about if we are fake or not. Correcting others is not
a little thing it should be done with great care, because we too can fall into it if
we are not careful. What if he is fake, does that change your standing before God?
What if he is not fake, then you are attacking someone else' servant. So who are
you to do that? Quit worrying about how real others are and focus on being real
yourself, because you my friend are loved by God.
God has given you gifts to use to build up people not tear them down, let those
whose only desires are rip into others and find faults to their own devices. In the
end we all are going to get stand before God and give an account of every deed
and word that came from us. So will everyone else, even if they deny it here, it
isn't like they are going to be given a choice then. We all have choices now, make
them good ones.
@kellyjay saidI no longer believe any of that. Stuff about "the One" is not real to me. Do you think I should be pretending to be a believer? Do you think I should be pretending that I feel I have turned my back on something real?
Says the man who turned his back on the One who died for him so he could be
forgiven.
@kellyjay saidI believe that Jesus was executed for sedition and that the Jews were happy to see him executed because of his blasphemy.

You keep going on and on and on about how "evil and wicked" you are. That's a matter for you; I don't need to know what it is you do to people that warrants this hollow and narcissistic self-condemnation.
But your assertion that you are somehow "forgiven" because a rabbi was put to death by the Romans 2,000 years ago is not something you can project onto an atheist like me.
For what it's worth, I don't believe Muhammed spoke to the angel Gabriel in a cave either. So I am not 'turning my back' against "God" because of that. Nor am I 'turning my back' on any of the Hindu Gods.
@fmf saidWell since you asked, you pretend to know about it now while denying it! I have

no doubt your whole life was one giant pretense, nothing about what you used to
be could have been real, because you admit it now, "...pretending to believe...". If
it ever was real you would not deny it like you do now.
You just came to your senses and realized you were playing at being a Christian
and left the fakeness of it to acknowledge the truth between you and that faith.
The god you had was only between your ears, and when you realized he wasn't
real you did reject him, as you should have. For that you actually have a lot of
respect from me (I know you don't care). Saying that gives me hope for you, since
being hot or cold are both much better than lukewarm.
@kellyjay saidIt was very real to me back then. I'm sure it feels real to you now, right? Well, that's how it was for me.
