Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Christianity…

My theory is the numbers have been inflated by the deceived Christians who believe they are Christian only because they attend Church on Sunday. Add a little sacrifice and it separates the chaff from the wheat.

In my opinion, there are more alternatives today, simply more activities one has access to. Not only on Sunday, but throughout the week the average family with kids stays busy, continuously on the go with sports and school related activities. More divorce, more single parents, more shuffling kids around on weekends, more stepchildren, etc. exacerbates the busyness. Come Sunday, they are just too darn tired to go to church. Most mistakenly associate Christianity with Church, because with them, it ends there. They were never Christians at all.

Never had much use for religion. After all, it was the religious order or the “church world” of the day that crucified Jesus. Not sinners.
Christianity, in a nutshell, is to repent of one’s sins and endeavor to live a life that follows the teachings of Jesus as closely as one possibly can.
I became a Christian four years ago this coming March even though I had been around Christianity all my life.
That’s a whole other story.
My father always told me not to worry about what others do as I would only answer for myself at the judgement and I believe that to be true.
Life at it’s longest is short but eternity is to long to be wrong.

I love how you talk like you’re fine with Christianity when such a “objective observer” posture suits your angle.

Your mask seems to have slipped with this one but don’t worry it didn’t hide your actual feelings anyway…

Don’t put on airs. At least Mauser9mm and DBT say exactly what they are.

The church already became diluted when Paul
relaxed the Rules of membership regarding
Torah compliance and he had no Bible under
his arm as we today know it, nor had he ever
known or met an earthly Jesus.


How can one prove anyone to be Xtian?


Late 4th century by time the state apparatus
decided on the content and then had to wait
till 15th century before the printing press arrived.
yet folks were still largely illiterate up until the
19th century..that's some amazing plan g0d
had for getting his word out.

Your question begs the question, do you have any concept of infinite? It's a nonsequter like, to whom is the bachelor married?

The God of the Bible is infinite. Infinite, unlike the universe, has no beginning, ending, or limitations.

Thank You to all who have participated in this thread so far with genuinely honest responses. To further the discussion: many of us have talked to, and listened to, and read interviews and blogs and books by dozens of people who’ve left the faith of Christianity. Do you men find it uncommon to hear a story from anyone who walked away from the faith of Christianity based on anything ‘directly’ related to the faith of Christianity itself ~ at least the original version anyway…?

Antlers my friend…Happy New Year.

By “walking away from Christianity” do you mean they left the “Church” or they left God too? I can’t say that I could find fault with a man for walking away from the church unless I knew what his church was like but I can’t wrap my head around walking away from God. I would venture to guess that if one walked away from God I would question if they ever truly walked WITH God. I think that if one has a true close and personal relationship with God, a relationship that’s as real as any other relationship and far more REAL than most, walking away from God would be like walking away from air, I couldn’t do it if you know what I mean?

Sounds like someone describing the 24hourcampfire people

Among the many faithful Christians encountered to date, I have never seen such beheading.
Please answer two inquiries. What is Western Christianity? What is the core definition of what "the church was supposed to be"? Thanks.

An empty tomb or lack of corpse is not proof of resurrection.
And a mere claim of 500 alleged witnesses (without actual first
hand testimony from them) doesn't hold water.
On the evidentiary scale it ranks way down low.

According to scripture Thomas touched the flesh of
Jesus in his earthly presence, so where did that flesh
and bone food eating version of Jesus end up?

Do you make the 'RISEN' claim as an article of faith
or historical fact?

Did you see the resurrection?

Different set of standards maybe?

I am pointing out the double standard of those who ridicule people over the notion that the matter and life of the universe could spring forth from nothing and develop on its own while simultaneously believing that a specific creator god, for which they have no evidence of, made the universe by some means they also fail to explain. If all things had to come from something then were did god come from? About the only answer you will get is the attempt to grant their god special exemption status and claim that he has always existed. Another convenient double standard as they also ridicule the notion that perhaps the universe has always existed in some form or another and that we are just currently living in its latest incarnation.

You may not like it but I'm just being honest. I do not know how the universe started. But here's what I can promise you, no one posting here knows either. Some like to pretend that they do based on a book written 2000 years ago by people who knew even less about the true nature of the universe than your average 3rd grader does today.

The special pleading fallacy is strong amongst believers,
apologists can spend their whole life trying to perfect the art.


Well, Theology is nothing more than a broad spectrum of mans subjective
mind theories about a mysterious unknowable g0d they believe to exist.

I’ll answer your question but you answer mine.
What is your worldview. Are you a Jew, satanist, agnostic, atheist ,Muslim, mason, other like the religion of science ?

So you don't answer questions already put forward until someone answers
your question you jumped the queue with?

What's with your sense of entitlement?

It’s clear what my worldview is here. I don’t hide anything.


Projection much?

No,sounds like you are just avoiding the questions
put to you and you want to keep dancing around them.

I come across enough childish Xtians as it is.

The great Satan is back.....
And you’re projecting again....

LoL..thanks for proving my point.
