I attended a convention for skeptics called (oh so cleverly) Skepticon. It happened to be inside a convention center that was also holding a gun show. Now, which among you would be comfortable with having someone stroking his pistol, looking you in the eye, and telling you you're going to hell?<br /><br />That's terrifying! Not because I'm afraid of death (there's nothing that happens after death to fear), but because I happen to have a young boy who would miss his mother if something were to happen to me.<br /><br />Now, in all fairness, there were some people standing outside who were offering prayers. I don't know who would be afraid of prayers, honestly, they're as harmful as a poetry reading, and I think any fellow who would offer either has only good intentions.<br /><br />But seriously, please spread the message for people to at least <i>put down the firearms</i> before telling us how worthless our (supposed) souls are. Otherwise, our justified fear is nothing for you to gloat over.The Nerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00617669314398652449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-64143779025868386842011-01-11T07:44:17.857-08:002011-01-11T07:44:17.857-08:00Curiously I've found that when challenged most...Curiously I've found that when challenged most of these valiant warriors of rationality lose their rationality and slink away.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11485138043858836382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-43472235144262572442011-01-10T21:04:44.200-08:002011-01-10T21:04:44.200-08:00Very timely message for today, although my fear is...Very timely message for today, although my fear is less of this lot of people, and more for my united Methodist family members and so much of the bizarro doctrine they imbibe...Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13068196575763786944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-37603247146929796222011-01-10T07:45:10.148-08:002011-01-10T07:45:10.148-08:00"Their loud blusterings and their constant sn..."Their loud blusterings and their constant sneers are the index of real fear."<br /><br />Lately I've been wondering why so many unbelievers online have to viciously mock believers and the Bible.

I guess it becomes a question what you are more in touch with? The current social seeker-trends, or the timeless truth of the Word? Sad that the two are so often mutually exclusive.Steve Bervenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02137453259611119361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-86465158177765127652011-01-09T23:10:13.707-08:002011-01-09T23:10:13.707-08:00Glaring typo in the sermon title: "Barley&quo...Glaring typo in the sermon title: "Barley" not "Bakery".qizhihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00384887776892817322noreply@blogger.com
