Accept Jesus into your heart
Speaking of accepting parasitic creatures into oneself, have you gotten your worms problem taken care of?

Even at the risk of negative modding, I'll say that 'He' is BS to me and I'll use whatever power source I need to keep my computer running. No Him or Ra or He or Hades or other unproven believe of you or anyone else is gunna keep me from living how I want!!!
It's exactly this kind of hedonism that is pulling the most children away from the Church today. I've got a few scriptures I'd like you to read -- then ask yourself, is it really worth it? Is it okay to grab for myself without regard for natural law and His word? Is it better to select for convenience, or for life everlasting? I think the answer is clear.
Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. Philippians 2:3,4
Just as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit but the profit of the many, so that they may be saved. Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ. 1Corinthians 10:33,11:1
For I have no one else of kindred spirit who will genuinely be concerned for your welfare. For they all seek after their own interests, not those of Christ Jesus. Philippians 2:20,21
Therefore consider the members of your earthly body as dead to immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which amounts to idolatry. For it is because of these things that the wrath of God will come upon the sons of disobedience, and in them you also once walked, when you were living in them. Colossians 3:5-7
Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor; not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; Romans 12:10,11
What is the source of quarrels and conflicts among you? Is not the source your pleasures [hedone] that wage war in your members? You lust and do not have; so you commit murder. You are envious and cannot obtain; so you fight and quarrel. You do not have because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures [hedone]. James 4:1-3
But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust. Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death. (James 1:14,15)
For we also once were foolish ourselves, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures [hedone], spending our life in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another. Titus 3:3

BTW, I'm posting anonymously to avoid losing the karma
That you think God doesn't know who posted, you sorely misunderstand the breadth and depth of His powers. He is all-knowing, all-seeing, everywhere, in every one of us.
Please contact me out-of-band if you would like one of our representatives to visit you. It's nothing but a peaceful chat, and when we are done -- you will receive a complimentary copy of The Book of Mormon. It's never too late, and I'll call you friend for it.

My science and math can disprove your imaginings so fuck off!
Can your science create a universe from nothingness in seven days? The only science you need is the science of the Lord.
Can your math turn three loaves of break into enough to feed a thousand? The only math you need is the math of Jesus, your Savior.
These things are in the bible. Read the bible and the scales will fall away from your eyes. If only you knew how wretched you sounded! I wish I could reach out and embrace you, show you the wonders I and millions of other followers of Christ have come to witness!

Interesting. How does accepting Jesus fit into any of the quotes?
Please reread the parent. This was a reply to a sinful and emboldened proclamation of choosing hedonism over God's law. If you wish to accept Jesus into your heart, then God bless you! But that was not the content of this message.
You and the moderators both have shown an unwillingness to engage in intellectual debate.

The Lord gave all beasts unto man. If you'd read the bible, you would know this as it is in Genesis, the very first book.
No man can claim to be an atheist until he has read His word from cover to cover for he isn't an atheist, but merely ignorant. And I have yet to meet the man who still called himself an atheist after reading God's word, for the word of God is stronger than satan's draw.

That's spelled you're.
And yes, I'm a Mormon, a member of a proselytizing religion. My aim is to save as many souls as I'm able and to spread the joy that is His word. Which of us seems the happier person without smoking his 420?

ok i was about to post a total troll/flamebait message...
Bless you.
I am turning the other cheek if you diddnt mean what you said... & if you actually meant what you said, yes, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord & Savior. Bless You All.
Sinner!!!
You turn the other cheek? You pretend this is an affront to Him, and then you turn the other cheek? You are not the Lord!
Even if you meant to turn it on his behalf, to pridefully state that this is what you are doing is to nullify the goodness in the action. James 4:6 declares "... God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.
Be not proud. Be like a lamb unto Him, and He will guide you. But do not seek to guide others yourself, lest you lead them from the flock. Point to His word only.

Preach on, Bible Boy. Have you people decided to own up to all the carnage your kind has spread in the name of Jesus? Where ever bible thumpers go, they tend to spread disease (smallpox, syphilis, etc), crime, and war. (Flamebait-mod this if you want, it's pure history, no ifs, ands or buts...) I've got news for you, Jesus was a liberal. Think about it, he was in favor of free food programs for the poor, free health care, and promoted questioning the powers of state. Ya can read all this in your little black book. And *we* sound wretched? Look in the mirror, or a few pages in the history book. Jesus-based religions/cultures have committed acts over the past millenia that are hardly different of Hiro Hito invading China, or Al Qaeda's actions.
