[taikoo]

My mom, for her courage and wisdom.

 

[One Eyed Jack]

Jesus, because everybody else disappoints me.

 

[kmoney]

Probably my father. He's the most patient, positive, honest, and strong person I know.

 

[taikoo]

Jesus, because everybody else disappoints me.

Is it really accurate to say that jesus is a person?

 

[chrysostom]

I actually look down on her
and
she makes me feel important

To atheists He's a fable.

I agree with Jack, you can't get any better when it comes to perfection.

I'll go with the Son of God.

Really? Your actions say otherwise. lain:

 

[Persephone66]

I'd say my mother, but she's shorter than me. Sweetest, kindest, most patient person I ever met. Fiercely strong will to live too. Don't know what's keeping her together after all she's been through, but I am thankful she's here.

 

[taikoo]

I cant see how anyone could say that Jesus "is' a person.

I suppose he is a historical figure, however much the story has changed.

But no "person" is alive for 2000 years and has all the power of a god.

That may be something, but isnt a person.

As for some who claim to be followers but are filled with hate, prejudice and disdain for their fellow humans, i think there was some sort of promise attributed to the man, Jesus.

That if such came to him, he would say, " I dont know you, go away".

 

[Granite]

It's impossible for me to pick one!:noway:

My wife and my parents.

Fable: : a fictitious narrative or statement: as a : a legendary story of supernatural happenings b : a narration intended to enforce a useful truth; especially : one in which animals speak and act like human beings c : falsehood, lie

 

[Architect]

Dad.

For leading by example and unconditionally loving his wife and children.

Josh

 

[Rusha]

My mother. The woman is the closest thing to a saint and loves unconditionally.

 

[aSeattleConserv]

We're all sinners kmoney, even you (GASP!).

If mocking atheists and pretend christians like yourself might mean eternal damnation for me, I'll take my chances.

So, you being an atheist, do acknowledge that Jesus Christ rose from the dead.

There is still hope for you P-66 (and one more of your posts that I have to...ahem...adDRESS.

And what's not to love about a woman that shares her clothing with you?

meanwhile it can just make you the most unpleasant and least respected person here.

About as much as I acknowledge Darth Vader living long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away.

And what's not to love about a woman that shares her clothing with you?

You really sunk to a new low on this one, just when I thought you couldn't be any lower.

You must have missed where I said "she's shorter than me." Besides, she dresses rather frumpy, doesn't have anything I'd want to wear. I prefer corsets and short skirts.

Speaking of clothing, are you ready to come out of the closet yet?

I take being called a pretend Christian by you as an honor. Thank you. :up:

And you go beyond mocking. You should be ashamed, whether or not it means eternal damnation.
