I second that Amen! “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

You say it with such pride. A major world religious figure totally disses your religion and you take it as a compliment. Unbelievable and embarrassing. "Oh Bob, you just don't understand my religion." I understand enough to be disgusted by it. My wife's family is still on their knee's in awe that my father in laws fave song came on the radio Fri 1 min after he died. They are still crowing to anybody who will listen that it was a miracle from god. Xtionity is the ego driven me me me religion, it's all about them. They are the center of their gods universe, the apple of his eye. Kids are starving and dying by the minute in Africa and they think some god spoke to them because an old man who spent half his life making people miserable with his Baptist rantings died. Sooo glad I'm an atheist and can see the world for what it is. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

In fact anytime my Lord Jesus Christ is praised it is awesome and brings me great joy. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

Of course not, you'd have to look at what a miserable joke your religion is if you saw the statement for what it is. When you can hear Xtions talking among themselves and they don't know you're listening, they are insufferably smug and condescending. Patting themselves on the back for how smart they are and how incredibly stupid non believers are. They're hubris is breathtaking to behold. That's what Ghandi was talking about. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

That's very true. There is far more honesty coming from atheists than you'll ever hear coming out of a Xtian's mouth. Xtian's always have an agenda they don't tell you about. My wife has sent me half a dozen reactions from people about the 'miracle' that happened at her fathers dying bedside. Her agenda is, look, this is a bonafide miracle, aren't you ashamed you aren't a Xtian? I want to tell her to look up the word 'coincidence', but why bother. If you look for miracles you'll find them in abundance. I just saw a kind of bird at my feeder I've never seen before. Thank you, Jesus!! That would be my sister in laws reaction. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Hubris and pride is the root of all sin and it is definitely not exclusive to Christianity. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

Gee, who said it was. But they sure could get a patent on it if they applied. Or at least a trademark. I saw it on open display when I was a Christian but because I was part of it I didn't really care. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
