You can test the most devout christians faith by asking them if they reach for Glock or begin by praying to a God if they have a home invasion.
or give them choice of foxhole or concrete bunker when it's raining proximity fuse artillery.
Heart attack - medical science paramedics..or just call for much needed prayers from your church friends cause it will fix everything...
Lots of dead church people, but how many actually faithfully living through Christ. Talk and just keeping empty appearances is cheap.
People telling themselves they know they have made the cut into a heaven.... hilarious.
I know there are lawyers who have never tried a case in a court of law in their entire. They make a living "Mitigating". If a lawyer does have to try a case in a court of law and question witnesses, does the witness still have to swear to "I swear by Almighty God [to tell] the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth." If so, how does a person questioning and a person answering in such a procedure place any credibility in the process if they hold nothing but contempt for the very oath that must be sworn in order to give or receive testimony in court. Have you ever objected to the Judge that you have no believe or hold no faith at all to the oath that must be sworn to testify, or are you yourself a hypocrite and just "play along"? I admit I have never been sworn to testify and do not personally know how everything is done in every court of law, just asking your great intellectual input into such matters.
How old and out of touch are you?
No! You do not have to swear to any divine power when sworn in in an American Court.

Nice try AS (fool, swine), but you know that's not the context of the word "fool" which refers to those who say there is no God. The Hebrew word is nabal, which often refers to an impious person who has no perception of ethical or religious truth. The meaning of the text is not “unintelligent people do not believe in God.” Rather, the meaning of the text is “sinful people do not believe in God.” In other words, it is a wicked thing to deny God,
They'll be plenty of smart folks in hell. Do I need to explain "swine" to you again as well?
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

On July 11, 2006, Hovind was indicted on 58 counts in the District Court in Northern Florida in Pensacola. The first 12 counts were charges for willful failure to collect, account for, and pay over federal income taxes and FICA taxes in connection with the CSE operation, totaling $473,818 for the 12 fiscal quarters of 2001–2003. The next 45 counts were charges for knowingly structuring transactions by making multiple cash withdrawals totaling $430,500 in amounts just under the $10,000 which requires reporting (a technique known as "Structuring"), for which his wife was also charged. The last count was a charge of corruptly endeavoring to obstruct and impede the administration of the internal revenue laws by falsely listing the IRS as his only creditor when filing for bankruptcy, filing a false and frivolous lawsuit against the IRS in which he demanded damages for criminal trespass, making threats of harm to those investigating him and to those who might consider cooperating with the investigation, filing a false complaint against IRS agents investigating him, filing a false criminal complaint against IRS special agents (criminal investigators), and destroying records.[135][136][137]
...At arraignment, Hovind claimed incomprehension to the charges, telling the court: "I still don't understand what I'm being charged for and who is charging me."[136] The presiding magistrate judge asked Hovind if he wrote and spoke English, to which Hovind responded, "To some degree."
...the jury deliberated three hours before finding the Hovinds guilty on all counts, 58 for Hovind and 45 for his wife
On January 19, 2007, Hovind was sentenced to ten years in prison with three years probation and ordered to pay the federal government restitution of over $600,000. During the sentencing phase, a tearful Hovind, hoping to avoid prison, told the court, "If it's just money the IRS wants, there are thousands of people out there who will help pay the money they want so I can go back out there and preach."[147] However, Hovind's court room behavior was in stark contrast to phone calls he made while in jail and played by the prosecution.[148] The tapes, posted online by the Pensacola News Journal, included one conversation with Hovind and Eric Hovind, who were planning to hide a motor vehicle title and property deeds to prevent the government from collecting the property to pay for owed debt.[149] At sentencing, he denied being a "tax protester",[148] but the prosecution,[116] an IRS spokesman,[148] and the Pensacola News Journal[140][150] used the term to describe him.
On June 29, 2007, Jo Hovind was sentenced to one year of imprisonment, three years of supervision upon release and fined $8,000.[144] In court, Jo Hovind offered explanations for the 45 checks just under $10,000 and for checks cashed before and after the reporting deadline, telling the judge "I really did not have a leadership role in CSE" and finished "I would never knowingly do anything illegal." The judge said that while Hovind was the principal authority at CSE, Jo managed the payroll; she had cashed roughly 200 checks totaling $1.5 million over a four-year period, relying on cash to avoid IRS scrutiny.[150] The United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit denied both appeals on December 30, 2008,[146] and the U.S. Supreme Court denied certiorari on November 2, 2009.[151]

Thankfully the end of the world preaching is out of favour, and believers go quiet when it gets real - busy praying I suppose. In days gone they used to rage that the world was ending whenever some disaster or calamity struck, only to look like complete tossers afterwards. This has happened for thousands of years and they were never right - faith, whata ya gone a do about it?
Now that things are somewhat more settled, the believers start popping out of the woodwork and can continue with their moderate levels of fear of death. Seems anger is a good substitute for hopelessness - gives drive and purpose. Hey, lets start slinging crap at the infidels again and continue with our feel good fairy tales.
Keep focusing on what they said, rather than what HE said if it makes you feel better.

Wow! Jaguartx follows this guy? He's even more of a doofus than I thought. There are plenty of decent and honest preachers to follow.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.

Say whatever you like, but evolution is just metaphysical theory. Unproven and undemonstrated..... and as we have discussed before, poorly supported .... if supported at all....by fossil evidence.
Also, appealing to a majority who all believe the same thing seems empty. If someone in Germany, in 1938, denounced Hitler and said he would lead the nation into war, death and destruction, he would have soundly denounced by the “majority.”
Men go mad in herds......
The tax collector said: “Lord Jesus, have mercy on me, a sinner.” Jesus said he went home “justified.”
