  1. I wonder why people it's like that, supposedly God said, "live and let live", what kind of believers are this people ??? I'm not atheist actually I don't believe in nothing.

  2. This is not the message Jesus was framed and murdered for. If these people really were honest they would call themselves pharasees and not Christians.

  3. I am a Christian and people who talk like this are strangers to me. They do not represent all Christians.

  4. i was going to spend @2 for read the latest 'church in need' book that details how many people have been killed for being christian (not just death threats), but I reckon its too depressing.

    and Nicole has said, i dont know the people who would send the death threats. We should be allowed to disagree with each other.

  5. I've been an atheist for roughly 2 decades and I've yet to have anyone complain about my lack of religion.

    Apparently not everyone shares my experience.

    As for the suit, I haven't been following it. If the complaint is accurate, it sounds like a violation of separation between church and state. If one wants a cross (or crucifix? I'm not certain what that branch of Christianity uses) in a government-owned location, the most obvious solution is to have other similar symbols from other groups.

    Otherwise, the typical solution is to have it on private land.

  6. This makes me really upset...God died for atheists just as well as anyone else. idk what sunday school or church they are going to, but they must not be teaching the doctrine of the gospel correctly. His word say to love thy neighbor as thyself. also, people should not exploit stuff like this, making it out to where all christians are like this. That is simply untrue.

Anonymous commenters - please add a signature (doesn't have to be your real name) on each post of yours. Anne O'Namus, Norm D. Ploom, Angry from Kent, Demosthenes, or even your real initials, it doesn't matter.

Commenters are expected to be polite to each other, but the same standard doesn't apply to comments regarding me.

Australian commenters are very very strongly advised to publish anonymously. Sydney alone has more defamation actions than the entire USA and UK. Nearly double that of the UK in fact.

As Google does not reliably inform me that a comment has been posted, and I have no control over first publication, I assert that all comments are innocently disseminated under the NSW DEFAMATION ACT 2005 - SECT 32 and similar acts.
