First off, It's one in the morning so i don't know if i lost the humor in
that website or if it was a joke or something. So sorry about the rest of it
if i am just too tired to see the joke.
After that, What in God's name is wrong with you? Are you really a pastor?
I'm not gonna threaten anything to you or your family. The people who have
done that were misguided, but i see where it comes from. There is a lot of
hate in your site, where there should be compassion.
First, you say that you hate gays. I thought God didnt want us to hate?
Would jesus ever utter "I hope all fags die!!!"? Um, no. Why dont you just
learn to live a life of understanding. My best friend i grew up with is gay.
And guess what, its not a choice, at least not for some, and there are
studies being conducted right now that show that it is indeed something in
the body. However, as i understand it, its not genetics as much as a
chemical in-balance. But i digress...
Now i think that abortion is kinda wrong, but i think also that people
should have a choice. Killing is wrong, but we have wars and murder on the
streets. Stealing is wrong, but i dont see you ranting on about pickpockets?
When i first came to your site, i read the hatemail first. After i saw the
fury of people i wondered what they had read. I was shocked to see a
"christian" such as yourself talk so horribly of people. I pray that god
looks upon your damned soul with mercy, and maybe he will understand that
you meant good, but were corrupted.
My 3 best friends are Atheist, Agnostic, and Gay and i wouldnt trade them
for anyone. I dont care that one is gay, and ive tried to convert the other
2 but hey, some of us are stubborn. So are you probably and you will
probably read this laughing as i have read other hatemail towards christians
in general.
Maybe you should look around at how much hate and hurt you have cause by
your simple website and take it as a sign from god that what you think about
certain things are wrong. If that many people looked at my beliefs and said
i was going to hell, i would seriously think about what i beleive in. But so
far no one has, except for my 2 friends, who think there is no god. They say
im wrong, and i listen. I dont neccesarily agree, but i consider it.
I seriously hope you actually read all this and that i didnt waste 18
minutes of my life trying to help someone.
Then again trying to help someone is never a waste of time, even if you dont
succeed.
-Alex
p.s. I'm 15, my parents are divorced, I talked to my grandfather 3 minutes
before he died, i have step parents with which i dont get along, ive had to
move around for awhile, finally settling in florida, i live 9 hours away
from my dad. i had a choice of religion growing up. My oldest brother is an
athiest.
I think that even though thats not alot for most, thats alot for a 15 year
old. All those pains, and discomforts have taught me alot of lessons. So
maybe you should consider what ive been talking about.

They aren't misguided, they are just

No I don't.

Yeah it's the lost 11th Commandment.

Dear "True Christian",
This is not hate mail; it comes from a Christian who is totally
disgusted with your site. Let me share with you a little of my background.
I was raised in a strong Christian home but went to school with many people
who claimed to be atheists. All of them are good people and help our
society in a superior manor. It is true that the bible says "no one come to
the Father except through me". No where does it say that atheists cannot be
good people. No where does it say that they do not have morals. To be
bluntly honest, atheists are some of the most genuine, honorable, and moral
people I have ever met. I'm not dissing Christians, after all I am one, but
how in the world do you expect atheists to get saved when all you do it bad
mouth them? Job 5:17 say "Blessed is the man whom God corrects, so do not
despise the discipline of God." Yes, it is true that God will punish all
none believers, but the way you portray people doesn't make them want to
seek God; it makes them despise you and your religion. Atheists truly do
not know God; if they did, don't you think they wouldn't be atheists?
Atheism comes when a person questions how they came about and science, to a
certain extent, proves that there isn't a God, but there is a difference in
knowing God is real and being able to prove it. Atheists have come to their
own conclusion that there is more evidence in a "big bang" theory than a
God. They haven't given God a chance to touch their lives and show them
that he is a loving God. You make God out to be something he isn't, a
heartless bully that downs everyone. I don't know about you but I don't
want people thinking we are like violent terrorist religions. The Christian
God is the only God that shows any love toward his children. Allah, the
Muslim god, says that you can only get to heaven by good works and shows no
sign of loving humans unless they please him. Our God shows an eternal and
everlasting love toward EVERYONE, ATHEISTS, MUSLIMS, CHRISTIANS, AGNOSTIC,
BUDISTS, AND EVERY OTHER RELIGION OUT THERE. It's true that no one gets to
heaven unless you accept Jesus into your heart, but God loves everyone. Our
prisons are not 100 percent atheists either. For example, Francisco, a 22
year old man in Peru was sentenced to serve jail time. He was thought to be
a suicide bomber because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. He
knew he was wrongfully imprisoned, yet he did not fret about his wrong
doing, he saw it as a way to reach others for Christ. He stayed in that
jail for many years and led over sixty people to Christ. He is still out
there in Peru reaching others for God. Don't believe me? Google it. Or
look it up in Jesus Freaks by the members of dcTalk, true Christians. Paul,
the apostle, who in his early years persecuted Christians, wrote these words
in Philippians 1:20 and 21 "Everything happening to me in this jail only
serves to make Christ more accurately known, regardless of whether I live or
die. They didn't shut me up; they gave me a pulpit! Alive, I'm Christ's
messenger; dead, I'm his bounty. Life verses even more life! I can't
lose." Paul was in jail, yet he wasn't atheist, Francisco was in jail, yet
he wasn't atheist. There are millions upon millions of people around the
world and here in America that are in jail that aren't atheists. People
screw up and are punished for it, but it doesn't mean they're atheists.
P.S. Jesus wasn't American, he was born in Bethlehem and grew up in
Jerusalem, both of which were in Israel. Do a little more background
research before posting false ideas for the entire world to see. Stop
giving Christians a bad name.
Praying for you and God Bless.

I have a question about this statement
Keep her locked up for seven more days. She still needs to to cleanse the demons
from her. Then the final step must be taken to rid her of the evil. She must take
either two turtles or two young pigeons to a priest like myself and then I will
sacrifice one for the woman's sins and then I'll set the other one on fire to burn
her uncleanness and make her clean again.
I just want to know why you think we still need to make sacrifices when Jesus was
the last and perfect sacrifice needed. The book of Hebrews answers this subject head
on.
Hebrews 10:11-18
Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again
he offers the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.
But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at
the right hand of God.
Since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his footstool,
because by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.
The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First he says:
“This is the covenant I will make with them
after that time, says the Lord.
I will put my laws in their hearts,
and I will write them on their minds.”
Then he adds:
“Their sins and lawless acts
I will remember no more.”
And where these have been forgiven, there is no longer any sacrifice for sin.
I do not agree with most of what you are saying on your site, but it seems that many
people have tried to sway you of your ways, and have failed. I do not understand why
you do not open your mind and heart to what people are saying, not all of it is true
but some of it is. I hope that you will at least open your heart to this subject,
because I have not made one point, but the bible has made it for me. There is no
need to make any more sacrifices for God has sacrificed his son for us.

Hello My good christian friends. lol. I love that you are christianshat y. that is
great! But I found some information about the Goth section to be wrong. This is not
hate mail, But we are spoussed to share information, and knowledge. But anyways, you
said that when goths practice 'Wicca' that they sacrifice animals. Well I used to be
a Wiccan. Before I became a christian. Wiccans are not harming people. Yes, it is
bad because it is not of God, But they DO NOT SCARIFICE ANIMALS NOR HARM PEOPLE!!
They are very kind. If you are truely Gothic, then you follow the Gothic religion
which in turns happens to be satanism. With a twist that is. But yes, there are some
Homosexual Wiccans...... I am a very Good Christian, not the best, but a good one.
And I wear Black alllll the time. I wear werid Gothic looking jewlry. And I am
interested in what is classified as Gothic interests, like Medievil Architcure,
Bats, black clothing, and just plain out werid stuff..... My Pastor Has
tattoos. My Pastor also has piericings, and my hair has been Orange. and my other
pastor had pinkish hair once. And we allllllllLLL LOVE God with all of Our Hearts,
and I have even helped People to Jesus, and I also have the Baptism of the Holy
Spirit... So, I believe that you need to change some of your information. Just
Because a person dresses a certian way, or has certain things on their bodys like
tattoos.. and dyed hair... It does not mean they are truely Goth... And if I am
classified as Goth, because I like certain spoussedly 'GOTHIC' stuff, then I am a
christian...... Oh and also, I love death and graveyards. Because I like to learn
about people who have died and i also love to honor those who Have died...... But
thak you for listening to me....
May God Bless

Before I get to the main purpose of this, let me just say, it seems like you are
pushing your religion onto everyone else. Religion generally only pertains to the
person that believes and if you have studied up on the Bible enough, you should see
it contradicts itself many times. Just because there was more than one author. Nice
to see you try though.
That is all.

I'm surprised at how many people believe what you are "selling". You
are obviously familiar with the Bible, but I'm not sure if you are an
embittered ex-Christian, or just someone who likes to fuck with their
minds; whichever it is, you're definitely no "moran". When you started
this site, did you think you'd have as much reaction as you've had?
You've really gotten them hook, line, and sinker. Oh, and I'm NOT

Jesus, Dietary
Limitations, and Biblical Law |
| From: |
"Christopher Bezy" <guma.kawauso@gmail.com> |
| Date: |
Wed, June 27, 2007
7:27 am |
|
| |
Pastor Jim,
You didn't send me a copy of your response to my email. Again, I am very
disappointed.
Arguing on Jesus and dietary limitations, I have cracked open a Bible. I
also know that Revelation is not written by Jesus not does Jesus say any
words related to food. I have a red-letter edition and have scoured it to no
avail. Quite to me the line form the lips of Jesus that say anything about
food. Show me the verse and passage when Jesus himself says anything about
food. The apostles and followers are not Jesus, so their words mean nothing
as compared to the words of Jesus
Revelation is a book that was most likely written in the 16th Century
anyway. It's more apocryphal than Tobit or Maccabees 1 and 2. Even more
apocryphal than Thomas or even the recently discovered Judas. Romans and
Corinthians are not written by Jesus, nor was Jesus physically alive. Also,
both of those books were letters to churches that needed correction and
guidance. Not something for the general public, and thus the reason why
those pieces have a tendency to conflict with other letters in the latter
half of the Bible.
It goes against the teaching of Jesus, who said that even he didn't know
when the end would come. That day is known only to God... no some scholar
faking to be a biblical character.
And as for killing homosexuals, it honestly doesn't say that either.
Lesbians are actually given a free ride, while gays are the ones who should
be stoned. But the exemption (which you said doesn't exist) is in the Bible.
It's the 6th Commandment, Thou Shall Not Murder (Exodus 20:13). If you
believe a human possess souls, then you then believe that all humans have
souls. And to kill a creature with a soul is to commit a murder, a grievous
sin-- taking a life that God created. It might not be the best of life, but
what right does one have to kill a single one of God's creatures just
because one does not like what it does?
Also, the Ten Commandments say nothing about sexual immorality. Those were
Moses' laws to his people. After all, they were in the wilderness and needed
to survive as a whole. Moses' laws do not apply to the world, and are hardly
form the mouth of God. If I recall, Moses' wasn't allowed into the "promised
land" because he killed the taskmaster.. therefore, he was flawed and not
godly. His laws hold very little relevance when you think about it. They are
not direct from God. Also, we are not an "exodus," we are not going to a
"promised land", and we are not "Moses' people." To apply such law is not
better than to apply French law in the United States.
As for cracking open a Bible, I do so often. I even have different copies
for referencing when frothing mad religious fanatics turn the book into a
weapon. Dewey, KJV, NIV, and NAS are but a few of the versions I own.
|
|
|
|
"And as for killing homosexuals, it
honestly doesn't say that either."
Yeah besides Leviticus 20:13. That one
probably doesn't count since you forgot to mention it.

Oh yes! One additional thing...
By quoting Romans 14, you invalidate not only your own arguments, but you
whole web page.
So, whatever you believe about these things, keep between yourself and God.
(Romans 14:22)
So.. do you actually READ the Bible, or do you just skim it?

You should share that one with all the

I found it hilarious. Well done! It so accurately reflects the willful

Question about the

Dear pastor,
I have a question for you. Where did you find in the bible that we should kill all the
Muslims? Did you ever really read enough about Islam before making comments about this
religion on your website? Islam is probably the only religion in the world (that I
know of)
that worship only god and nothing else. That I know of all Muslims believe in Jesus
Christ
and also believe that Muhammad (Peace be upon him) was a prophet. Read the story
about Moses in your bible and the worship of images. Acknowledge the fact that most
Christians are still worshiping image of god or something else, that is strictly
prohibited in
the bible. Muslim don't worship rock, the rock is to make sure that nobody is in the
front of
them when they pray.
I am not Muslim, but I am thinking about converting. All the informations that I
gave you is
base on the information that I think true but you should make your own verifications
before
writting something false on a web site (http://www.truechristian.com/) that anybody
in the
world can read.
Thank you for your time,
Maurice Courtois

To whom it may concern, I am writing in response to the blog on Mormons.
I do not generally write e-mail concerning things I agree on, but in this
case I feel that I should!
First of all I also believe that the Mormons are deceived and they are
leading many people away from God, and for that they will have to give an
account to God in Revealtion 22:10-12. Where we will also have to give an
account to God, of what we have done and said!
And slandering them with your vile pictures and crude words, is not really
showing the fruit of the spirit!
Yes, we should make a stand for what we believe but, we should do so by
still esteeming our brother higher than ourselves.
Why?? Because: 1 John 4:7-13
7Beloved, let us love one another, for love is (springs) from God; and he
who loves [his fellowmen] is begotten (born) of God and is coming
[progressively] to know and understand God [to perceive and recognize and
get a better and clearer knowledge of Him]. 8He who does not love has not
become acquainted with God [does not and never did know Him], for God is
love. 9In this the love of God was made manifest (displayed) where we are
concerned: in that God sent His Son, the only begotten or [a
<http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20John%204:7-13&version=45#fe
n-AMP-30611a#fen-AMP-30611a> ]unique [Son], into the world so that we might
live through Him.10In this is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved
us and sent His Son to be the propitiation (the atoning sacrifice) for our
sins. 11Beloved, if God loved us so [very much], we also ought to love one
another. 12No man has at any time [yet] seen God. But if we love one
another, God abides (lives and remains) in us and His love (that love which
is essentially His) is brought to completion (to its full maturity, runs its
full course, is perfected) in us! 13By this we come to know (perceive,
recognize, and understand) that we abide (live and remain) in Him and He in
us: because He has given (imparted) to us of His [Holy] Spirit.
God clearly states, how we should treat sinners and everyone, because we can
see how Jesus treated them! Read the Gospels: Matthew, Luke, John and Mark.
I believe it is important to take a standpoint against what is wrong, but
you should do so in love!
Please read this and search your heart before you write your next article.
James 2: 5-13 and
5Listen, my beloved brethren: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the
eyes of the world to be rich in faith and in their position as believers and
to inherit the kingdom which He has promised to those who love Him? 6But
you [in contrast] have insulted (humiliated, dishonoured, and shown your
contempt for) the poor. Is it not the rich who domineer over you? Is it not
they who drag you into the law courts? 7Is it not they who slander and
blaspheme that precious name by which you are distinguished and called [the
name of Christ invoked in baptism]? 8If indeed you [really] fulfil the
royal Law in accordance with the Scripture, You shall love your neighbour as
[you love] yourself, you do well.(A
<http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James%202;&version=45;#cen-AMP-
30300A#cen-AMP-30300A> ) 9But if you show servile regard (prejudice,
favoritisme) for people, you commit sin and are rebuked and convicted by the
Law as violators and offenders. 10For whosoever keeps the Law [as a] whole
but stumbles and offends in one [single instance] has become guilty of
[breaking] all of it. 11For He Who said, You shall not commit adultery, also
said, You shall not kill. If you do not commit adultery but do kill, you
have become guilty of transgressing the [whole] Law.(B
<http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James%202;&version=45;#cen-AMP-
30303B#cen-AMP-30303B> ) 12So speak and so act as [people should] who are to
be judged under the law of liberty [the moral instruction given by Christ,
especially about love]. 13For to him who has shown no mercy the judgment
[will be] merciless, but mercy [full of glad confidence] exults victoriously
over judgment.
James 3:2-14
2For we all often stumble and fall and offend in many things. And if anyone
does not offend in speech [never says the wrong things], he is a fully
developed character and a perfect man, able to control his whole body and to
curb his entire nature. 3If we set bits in the horses' mouths to make them
obey us, we can turn their whole bodies about. 4Likewise, look at the
ships: though they are so great and are driven by rough winds, they are
steered by a very small rudder wherever the impulse of the helmsman
determines. 5Even so the tongue is a little member, and it can boast of
great things. See how much wood or how great a forest a tiny spark can set
ablaze!6And the tongue is a fire. [The tongue is a] world of wickedness set
among our members, contaminating and depraving the whole body and setting on
fire the wheel of birth (the cycle of man's nature), being itself ignited by
hell (Gehenna). 7For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea
animal, can be tamed and has been tamed by human genius (nature). 8But the
human tongue can be tamed by no man. It is a restless (undisciplined,
irreconcilable) evil, full of deadly poison. 9With it we bless the Lord and
Father, and with it we curse men who were made in God's likeness! 10Out of
the same mouth come forth blessing and cursing. These things, my brethren,
ought not to be so. 11Does a fountain send forth [simultaneously] from the
same opening fresh water and bitter? 12Can a fig tree, my brethren, bear
olives, or a grapevine figs? Neither can a salt spring furnish fresh water.
13Who is there among you who is wise and intelligent? Then let him by his
noble living show forth his [good] works with the [unobtrusive] humility
[which is the proper attribute] of true wisdom. 14But if you have bitter
jealousy (envy) and contention (rivalry, selfish ambition) in your hearts,
do not pride yourselves on it and thus be in defiance of and false to the
Truth.
My prayer for you: Heb 13:21
Strengthen (complete, perfect) and make you what you ought to be and equip
you with everything good that you may carry out His will; [while He Himself]
works in you and accomplishes that which is pleasing in His sight, through
Jesus Christ (the Messiah); to Whom be the glory forever and ever (to the
ages of the ages). Amen (so be it).
Kind Regards

believe in everything he did. well i guess not then. Hell here i come.

How dare you include yourself with upright and righteous men and women that
consider themselves to be Christians and would never subscribe to the hate
and the poison on this web page? I am ashamed of what this website has on
it. Decent Christian citizens would shun you for this awful misuse of your
1st Amendment rights!
True and upright Christian folks would be very hurt and disgusted by this.
Shame on you! We don't "hate" anyone! People who are non-believers will be
forgiven for their faults and failures and will eventually see the light and
turn to the truth. We need to pray for them. They are missing a wonderful
part of every day living. The belief in our lord and saviour Jesus Christ.
You need to take a long look at yourself and try to reconcile what is going
on in your OWN heart and head.

Yeah, I hate Christians too. They should all be rounded up and shot like rabid dogs.

That would be the Christian thing to do.

Let me start by saying some things that I like about this website.
1. I like the idea of staging non-violent actions against abortion clinics but if
you seek to use violence, then you are in the wrong.
2. I agree that homosexuality is wrong and that it is a choice that the individual
person makes. But to hate homosexuals and wish for their deaths is wrong. God's
word tells us; “Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the
Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?”
--Ezekiel 18:23
I think I really have to figured out. A lot of people say that you are not really a
Christian... I agree with them however it is not in the exact same way. I believe
that you are merely posing as Christians to post all sorts of hateful things so that
non-believers will further hate us. I know that a lot of bloody things happened in
the bible but under the new rule of Jesus we are called to be as little lambs and to
not take judgment into our own hands.
Awww, I don't care. You are only going to respond to this with insults...
ohhhhhhhhhh, good for you!!!! Hating sodomy is a good thing but hating people for
the color of their skin is just plain stupid. A well, there is a great judgment
coming down on God's people.... I really do hope that you are able to make it
through it.

Pastor,
Just wanted to say I got a real kick out of your site. Some funny stuff going on. It
makes me sad to see people get so worked up about it and getting all pissed off.
Love the irony, the satire, and the cleverness of impersonating an ACTUAL Christian.
You seem to have the whole world believing you're actually a PASTOR! I laugh.
Honestly. Nice site, keep up the good work.
Sincerely,
AAA (an amused atheist)
