How to become a Veridican--what do you think?

[TheBeardedDude]

It's pointless because it's the same ol' bullshit that is baseless and has to be taken on faith, not just because he manipulates the grey-zone around "doubt."

I am more concerned about this : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mickey_Mouse_Club
Please tell me how to join this. I really need to join the MM club.

I should have known. The truth will out somehow. I, (well we are) am a member of the Del Mar Country Club, but it comes with no "mouska" ears. I gotta have the ears to be happy. Oh wait. I already have big ears.

Not what I meant

There, there, big ears can be cute.

Hey Ed, correct me if I'm wrong with this analysis:

From what I can gather, Veridicanism isn't a branch of Christianity. It's more of an interpretation of scripture.

Basically, it's like an eschatological interpretation. It doesn't define your denomination and can be integrated in it.

Just like there are Baptists and Catholics that are amillennialist or Methodists and Presbyterians that are Pre-trib, you can be a Baptist, Catholic, Episcopalian, etc, and believe in Veridicanism.

Yes?
No?

Jesus has come and gone, and he has never returned as he supposedly said he would. If he is to be known only through religious experience, then he is as diverse as every human being who picks up a bible and utters his name. To me, he has become like a mirage I followed through the desert of my younger life. Finally, I just stopped and accepted the fact: I live in a desert.

Good times.

I don't get it. It tries to sound deep but seems self-defeating when used in conjunction with justification for belief. But I might just be trying to use ration, reason, and logic to evaluate anything Ego® says.

Yes, you are, or you wouldn't be here. An atheist who doesn't believe, also doesn't give a damn about being an atheist. They just live their lives out. You are in here for the soul purpose of debating with theists in hopes that one will be able to show you something that can give you back your faith. Cuz you used to be one, didn't you? A Christian.

What utter crap!
Atheists aren't obliged to believe Veridicanism, or any religion to be decent people!
You seek to live forever! What could be more egocentric than that?

Your God......see Veridican Article of Faith 14 re Hell.
"We believe Hell is a place of spiritual agony where souls are kept for the pleasure of God"
Sooo, a dummy God who pleasures on the sufferings of enquiring people. What a bastard!

Where can the nutters send their tithe?

And yet he continues to wander around aimlessly looking for a lifeboat in a sea of sand. And when he can't find one he makes one out of mesquite and tumbleweed. After sitting in it for a while and going nowhere he turns it upside down so he can hide from the glare of clarity. When he gets hungry he ventures out and repeats the whole goddam silly dance again. Sure as hell ain't gonna follow some quixotic fool like that, but he is a shitload of fun to watch.

Fucking Gwynnies is a hell of a lot more solidly grounded metaphysics than this fool's.

Like Girly, Ego® is his own personal Jesus. Unlike Girly, arrogant fool thinks he can show you how to become your own personal Savior too. No accounting for narcissism.
