    My God Lyrics:
    People on the street they wannna find a god they’ll never know,
    Organized religion pulls the blinds then they pull the wool,
    They open up your head, they’re fuckin’ with your mind,
    Now you can’t see because you’re blind
    You try to make amends but your heads still spinnin’ round,
    The church of Jesus Christ said it’s time, don’t fuck around,
    You wanna go to heaven, you see it isn’t free, give your money up to me
    My god is not the one that you wanna see, your god is a mirage,
    A conspiracy, you pray for forgiveness cause your sinnin’,
    Scared to death so your money you’ll be givin’, yeah

    Holier than thou with your one way morality,
    I think your shallow faith isn’t based in reality,
    You don’t like how were live, we’re sinful and obscene,
    Why are you judgin’ me?
    You’re richer than God but you’re cryin’ out for more,
    You’re livin’ like a king while you steal from the poor,
    Wanna be forgiven, get on your knees and pray,
    Send in your cash and be saved

    My god is not the one that you wanna see,
    Your god is a mirage, a conspiracy,
    You pray for forgiveness cause your sinnin’,
    Scared to death so your money you’ll be givin’,
    Yeah, better hope you’ve been chosen to be saved

    Cause your empathy only goes so far today
    Pay no mind to those in pain if you just want the souls
    Who are willing to pay
    Their way, your god’s not for me

    My god is not the one that you wanna see,
    Your god is a mirage, a conspiracy,
    You pray for forgiveness cause your sinnin’,
    Scared to death so your money you’ll be givin’,
    Yeah, my god is not the one that you wanna see,
    Your god is a mirage, a conspiracy,
    You pray for forgiveness cause your sinnin’,
    Scared to death so your money you’ll be givin’,
    Yeah, stop

  • What Would Jesus NOT Do?

    [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOfjkl-3SNE&NR=1]

    We always hear about the many amazing things that Jesus of Nazareth apparently did, but nobody ever asks about the things that Jesus supposedly COULD have done, being omnipotent, but either didn’t bother to do or didn’t think were all that important. You know, things like… reducing human misery and suffering… that kind of thing.

    It occurs to me that if indeed the miracles recorded in the bible were in fact true, and really did happen, then that only shows Yahweh/Jesus to be an even MORE malevolent and cruel being than we see in the old testament, and that’s saying something. If the miracles somehow prove that Jesus WAS in fact a god in human form, but all he could be bothered to do was turn water into wine and heal only a few hundred, or even a few thousand people with his magic saliva, then really – what is the use or good of such a god? Think of what a visiting, omnipotent deity COULD have done – but in this case, apparently, chose not to!!!!!

    And this is meant to be that god’s main advertisement of its existence! Walking on water in front of a few of his mates, for the benefit of billions and billions of people who, if they don’t believe in his divinity and surrender control of their souls to him, will be sent to burn in agony for eternity.

    People – DOES THIS RELIGION MAKE ANY SENSE AT ALL???

  • How to Persuade an Atheist to Become Christian

    I wish they tried to convert me, I wonder if after a few attempts they would keep categorizing this task as “easy.”

    I found it funny, don’t you?

    If you want to persuade an atheist to open up and listen to your Christian beliefs, you need to arm yourself with evidence, examples and a good testimony of what you led you to the Christian faith to begin with. Atheists often remain steadfast in the denial of a supreme being because they expect concrete proof that God truly exists. While no one can gather that type of evidence, you can use other resources to help convince them of your faith.

    Difficulty: Easy

    Instructions

    1. Focus on the emotional conversion to Christianity. Atheists tend to focus on the rational things of life, things they can test and touch. You cannot test and touch emotion, but you certainly can feel it. Try relating to the atheist on this emotional level by recounting the story of how you found Christ and why you decided to turn to Christianity. Retelling your story of the emotional journey you took to get to the level of faith you have now may peak the interest of an atheist.
    2. Ask the atheist what they believe caused the universe to be formed. Explain that a universe so complex and vast simply cannot come from nothing; a supreme being, often called in arguments an intelligent designer, must exist. Acknowledge that the existence of a supreme being does not necessarily negate the existence of scientifically proven data, such as evolution. In fact, science and religion can work hand in hand if one is willing to listen. An atheist need not give up his knowledge of science and the origins of the Earth to accept that a supreme being exists.
    3. Raise the question of morality with the atheist. Inquire of him where he feels he got his moral values and sense of right and wrong. Argue that morals are something many are innately born with. While our Creator has given us free will, he has also provided us with a sense of right and wrong and the choice to do right or wrong. Most of us experience that inner feeling of guilt and shame we get when we do something wrong. Acknowledge that the society and type of home our parents choose to raise us in greatly affects our moral values as functioning adults but it is difficult to deny the innate awareness we have of what is right and what is wrong.
    4. Present the stories of the Bible to the atheist and show Jesus Christ’s words in the New Testament of forgiveness and love. An atheist may think of the Bible as little more than a storybook but show the atheist your strong belief and faith in the Bible as the true word of God anyway. Persuade the atheist to come with you to a non-denominational church service that is open and informative so he can learn more.

    Tips & Warnings

    • Don’t present the evidence for your case in a threatening or accusatory way. Telling an atheist he may reside in hell one day for rejecting Christianity won’t persuade him at all to your beliefs. In fact, he may reject them completely. Explain your faith in a gentle and non-threatening way that shows him you truly care about his soul and not that you’re passing judgment or just trying to win an argument.
