Hello Atheists for Liberty,

Thank you for letting me be a part of this community, I look forward to interesting times. I am JP Bradt, I consider myself a secular activist. I feel that the more normal and kind atheism is shown to be, the better able others will be able to relate and get along with us, which is my objective. Another aim of mine is to get religious people to realize that they will be better off to leave their religion behind. In order to do this, I think we need to respect all religious people whether or not we respect their beliefs. This may not be the most popular opinion, but I find it important to be compassionate. Again, I am trying to win religious people over, not just schmooze with atheists. Granted, until now I have not done the best job of showing respect for believers, but I am working on it. I look forward to the rest of my journey, now with you.

Peace to All,
JP

PS Here's a picture of our cats, because don't most people like a cat picture on the internet?

I will not join your group, so this is my only way to respond to your reply.

I apologise that my experience does not match yours. As a grateful follower of Christ, I am bound to tell the truth.

I wish you, and those like you, well.

As you have read Scripture, you know this one:

“You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you💔 so that you might go and bear fruit(V)—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.🥀 17 This is my command: Love each other.👩

Can you explain please why you want to convince religious people to leave their religion behind?

I am a Christian, and I have no intention other than to honor your choice to disbelieve, just as God honors your choice to disbelieve, and mine to believe.

I will share that I have observed that every single atheist I have ever met has not read any Scripture for comprehension. As an engineer, I would be remiss if I gave an engineering opinion without thoroughly studying the subject. And a natural skeptic, I was honor bound to do the same when I needed to assure myself that Christianity was based on mythology. When my premise is proved wrong, I am also honor bound to admit it. So after thoroughly looking into it, I am a Christian. Why would anyone recommend anything to anyone they have not scrutinized carefully??? I wouldn't.

Why are you going on about people not reading scripture for comprehension, as if you assume I have not? I was a devoted Christian for years, reading scripture every day and reading about to 20 books based on the Bible as well. I read the Bible cover to cover. I made an informed decision.

Most atheists I know have read scripture for comprehension. I do not know where you found the of atheists you say have not done so at all, but that is not my experience.

I respect that you came to believe after reading scripture. I appreciate that your intent is to honor my disbelief. Thank you.

Latte is looking a little bit grumpy, as he often does. I think he's trying to nap.

Posted by KrunoslavWith all do respect, "Atheists for liberty" is an oxymoron.
