I GOT BLOCKED DUDE!!!
Today I blocked for the first time by a radical Pagan who plasters scriptures of a book he knows nothing about on SodaHead in an attempt to prove a point. I simply asked him why he hates my God so much and while he plastered his idiocy all over my computer screen I was typing away explaining that I think he shouldnt hate what he knows nothing about.
I have to wonder why so many people just really hate God. Or Christians in general, it's like were the worlds punching bags and everyone blames us.
Okay I get it, were high in population and can be accounted for the most things just because of our demographics. But really sometimes enough is enough. I just cant believe I got blocked simply because this guy hates that i'm a christian and I believe in god. Even worse he was on my friends roster lol. Well not anymore Patty...
Some Athiest arnt even as soft skinned as this guy, who I can tell must have been fuming behind his computer screen. So I commend the many of you atheist and pagans that do not block simply because of ones religion and or spiritual beliefs.
Well anyway I just want to let everyone know I will never block, never have never will and even if i'm slightly fuming over a good debate I will say, "Well played," to a pagan, Catholic, Atheist and even a scientologist.
Have A BLESSED day Sodaheaders!!!

Way harsh; but awesome, nevertheless.
Congrats! If you never experience being hated for your Christian beliefs, then you aren't trying hard enough. :)
Not sure why but, that made me laugh.
New International Version (NIV)
18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written:
“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;
the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”[a]
20 Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. 22 Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24 but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.
Oh, and I'm a Pagan AND an Atheist and one of the most Liberal of Democrats you've ever run across.... so I get blocked all the time. I find it almost as funny as people who say nasty things and then delete their comments. Apologize if you got a bit carried away but just deleting something... that's cowardly to me.
At the same time, did you read and research what the person posted and then use scripture and secular references to back up your position?
If not and you simply argued and "shook the book at him" and were simply not communitating with patientents and humility, then I can see where a person would block you.
If you will look at exactly what it was he was saying there is usually an answer in the scriptures to counter any such attack.
Additionally, based strictly on what you have stated here, your playing the victim is hardly a way to defend your faith. It shows spiritual weakness and lack of knoweldge.
Further, Most Athiests do not hate your God. They simply don't believe in a God of conflicting pov's on many different subjects.
Now you say he was a Pagan? Do you realize that Pagan's believe in gods? And do you realize that there was a study done about two years ago that showed 90% of Athiests and Pagans know more about Christendom and what is in the Bible than every single person interviewed in the study. More than 95% of those surveyed didn't know the answers to most of the questions. By denomination the worst were Catholics, the best were Jehovah's Witnesses who were the only group that knew...

Seems to me you you really should go back and see if you were attacking him and his beliefs rather than him attacking yours?
Yes you did what? and what do Atheists in Foxholes have to do with Atheist Pagans?
And there was a saying a long time ago that "there are no atheists in a foxhole underfire" I was making a comparison between religious individuals and non religious individuals and their personal beliefs. I guess I flubbed that one.
And anyone who really thinks there aren't Atheists in foxholes under fire probably also thinks that there aren't any Atheists in Emergency rooms waiting for their children... I can tell ya that's not true. Never been in combat, but I've spent my time waiting for a kid to come out of surgery and I was still just as much of an Atheist then as any other time.
I respect all points of view. I do try to have reasonable conversations with all, however, what gets me is some who defend a pov having been presented with hard cold evidence that they are wrong. Those, for instance, that defend a religious dogma that has been proven to be an adoption into their religions structure as having come from another religious dicipline that is contrary to their own overall religious groups religious texts. I find it very funny to watch when such people are presented with those types of conflicts. I especially love the reaction when a "christian" of a modern religious organization is confronted with the proofs that the "trinity doctrine" is a false doctrine adopted from the Sumer, Babylonian, Egyptian civilizations and the Harappan civilization which preceded them in the period 4000bce to 5000bce period.

Thanks for the discussion.
Intolerant religion of any stripe is Bad, including that of Pagans or Atheists.
A side note...just to educate you....there is no mythical hatred of your god by atheists. It's an ignorant stereotype.
If its the person i think it is Trust Me you are better off
so Congrats in a way for sticking to your beliefs l;)
