We have wonderful conversations about God and what it means to be a "good" person. They are better "Christians" than some of the Christians I know.Franknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-44993799639472595312013-09-11T16:37:20.343-07:002013-09-11T16:37:20.343-07:00Frank, keep watching.

Some of the atheists who comment here are tolerant and genial. <br /><br />And some who reject religious belief most stridently are still reeling from the realization they were lied to by the COG(s) they once trusted. It takes a while to get over the anger and disappointment, and coming on here to express it may help them reach equanimity. <br /><br />Like you, I find zeal to be one of the least attractive human drives, no matter what value system it is connected to. Let us hope both theistic and atheistic zealots can just chill out and get mellow.<br /><br />Retired Profnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-39497881650879500022013-09-11T15:07:30.590-07:002013-09-11T15:07:30.590-07:00So far what I have seen of atheists on here is tha...So far what I have seen of atheists on here is that they are just as judgemental and spite filled as they were in the WCG, if not more so. <br /><br />Leaving religion apparently has not brought most of you any peace. If you attitude is indicative of the "all knowing truth" you now posses I don't want any. <br /><br />Your nastiness and self-righteous judgmentalism accomplishes nothing but make you look foolish.Franknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-44757659114954561742013-09-11T12:09:42.211-07:002013-09-11T12:09:42.211-07:00It's tragic when people leave the COG cult to ...It's tragic when people leave the COG cult to remain trapped in the wider Christian cult and delude themselves into thinking they are free. It's not as destructive but it's still a mind control group. <br /><br />Why would anyone go back to that paganized fraud? They should know better. People just can't handle the truth that EVERYTHING (well, almost) in society is bullshit. A drowing man will grasp at straws. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
