~The Atheists WORST Nightmare~

[I_Am_Unbound]

Backin in my Focking Metal days, we used to roll cigarettes out of revelations.

I'll say this for the good book, you get a real smooth burn out of that paper. Better than zig-zags.

EVERYTHING NAMED "THE ATHEIST'S NIGHTMARE" OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES HAS ALWAYS BEEN MADE OF FAIL.

Yeah, claiming that you can only understand the Bible if you're "born again" is a common tactic to deflect rational criticism. There is really no good response to that other than to call bullshit.

What went through my mind is that the claim about only being able to access the kingdom of heaven (or what ever) if you had been born again, was itself made by Jesus. Taking the biblical mythology at face value, and given that Jesus is the only person who ever rose from the dead (to be born again), he could have been saying "I am the only one who can say what heaven is like", but of course that would be more like a prophecy. Nevertheless they did plant bullshit prophecies and then provide fulfillments along with the pretense they were never conspired to match. Perhaps this one just got reinterpreted as a spiritual ritual to give a kind of Christian 'third eye'. Place two cow patties in front of you and take your pick.
