Is your 'god' so shallow that he needs everybody to love him? I am a little worried that your god is stalking me. Should I file a report?

Logic never works on these guys. I find that if you gently mock them, that helps.

Pastor: Have you met Jesus?
Ben: Of course, I'm dating his dad.

Pastor: I'm sorry that you've never felt the love of God.
Ben: I'm sorry that you haven't either. Or experience the love of Zeus, or gotten to kiss Eros on the mouth.

Pastor: You're going straight to hell.
Ben: Pastor, of all the ways I'm going to hell, "STRAIGHT" is not one of them.

Pastor: Jesus loves you.
Ben: Yah, but he's two thousand years old and still lives at home.

Pastor: Jesus sent me to you.
Ben: I'm not surprise, Heaven always did have it out for me.

He only said sorry to your face. In his mind he is thinking "smug little bastard! I'm going to enjoy watching you burn for eternity. Nha nha nah nah nah!"

The preacher told me I was going straight to hell. I'm like “Hellooh <finger snap and palm in your face denial>! There may be a lot of ways I'm going to hell, but ‘straight’ isn't one of them.”

"he is sorry that I have not felt the love of god" - just like all the alter boys have?

It's sad when people's lives are so empty that they have to resort to imaginary friends to feel loved; and sadder still when they earn their livings trying to convince others to buy into the delusion.

Sorry for your living with the belief that your friends or family might be eternally punished for morally irrelevant and finite things.

We don't need his pity.

We are so lucky to have this site to say what we feel and meet so many with more or less the same principles....good for you...

Omniscient, all powerful, and he STILL wants y/our money!!!

Well, I'll be saving that for Facebook!!

Well-stated. Clear, grounded, and unequivocal.

I always want to respond to that line of talk with "I am sorry you're wasting your life misleading and wasting other people's lives with your faith in your religious fantasty." But I don't out of respect for freedom to do whatever stupid thing you want with your time on this rock.

“watch-dog divinity” -- laughing out loud.. I’m learning fun terms and new phrases every day around here!

That's a lot to say at one time... very good. Proud of you standing your ground.

fuck that's brilliant

Best antI-relIgIon speech ever !!!!!

brilliant well said

I like the attitude of your approach, because I use something similar once in a while and find it quite effective. Go Git Um Tiger.

I'd love God more, if he'd give me the winning numbers for the next PowerBall!

Your god's an asshole.

Here is my standard answer, " I'm sorry you don't take Zeus more seriously.

Pastors are in it for the money honey.

I told one preacher, I did feel the love of god but it was delusional euphoria. Same dude admitted his own faith is circular logic and he can't convince anyone without the bible.

I'm betting he'll drop xtianity sooner or later.

The love of god, ha
