I'm BAAAACK!
I took a small break, now I'm relaxed, redder and ready to get back into the swing of things. So let's just get started.

Their emails are in blue
& mine are in black and white.

You know, out of all the fans in the world, mine are my favorite!

What a wonderful fan letter I've received! Pictures, compliments, love and "other". Oh Megan, if everyone was like you this world would be such a better place to be.... for me.

Gee Normal BS,

I think you missed something.... Ahhhh! Oh Yeah....We were created by GOD..by something we recognize...we see the work before us. We know what's up from inside our cell(s). We feel the need for God. Where does that come from? After we are dead ...well who knows that? We do stop functioning... where does the spark go? Not out..Life is not out. still around even in the worst situations... for life that is. Pretty strong stuff, life.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I love to hear the specific reasons people believe. I think it's what interests me most. Maybe it's what I'm after here in these Hate Mail pages... reasons. And Joe, you've presented four of your reasons and I am anxious to respond.

Joe's reason #1: "We were created by GOD... by something we recognize... we see the work before us."
Joe, I think that this would only be a sufficient proof if nature (and everything) didn't already make sense. If we couldn't figure out where that tree came from or explain how a bird flies then you might possibly have your argument for God. But as it is, there's an explanation for it all. Granted, sometimes the explanation can be a little more complicated than simply "God made it that way so whatever." but I can assure you that there's far more to be gained from an actual scientific explanation.

Joe's reason #2: "we see the work before us. We know what's up from inside our cell(s)."
I've read this sentence several times and I still don't have a clue what point you're trying to make, so my reply is this: "Yes!"

Joe's reason #3: "We feel the need for God. Where does that come from?"
I'd like to start this off by assuring you that I have no feelings of a need for a god. Now that need you're feeling sounds to me like a weakness.... honestly it just sounds like laziness. Joe, I'm guessing that you feel this need most when times are rough. Am I right? I bet I am, and just because you don't want to take full responsibility for your life and you can't fix your own problems doesn't mean that God planted a need for Him in your head. It just means that you're not a grown up yet.

Joe's reason #4: "After we are dead ...well who knows that? We do stop functioning... where does the spark go?"
Joe, this is my favorite of your reasons for God. Your theory that life never goes out is what I call "fear". No one wants to die and this is why you've fabricated this theory.

Answer me this Joe, when a giraffe dies where does his "life spark" go? Are you going to make a case for Giraffe Heaven? Cactus Heaven? And if you're going to try and convince me that those "life sparks" go on living through the animals that eat them then you're going to have to explain to me where a Christian's "life spark" goes when he's devoured by coyotes.

I assure you Joe that "life sparks" do burn out and go nowhere. I think you put it best when you said "we see the work before us. We know what's up from inside our cell(s)."

Bravo Joe. Bravo.

To who ever you are,
I accidently came across your website and was disgusted with your mochery of Jesus. If it weren't for the Lord, you wouldn't be here today. Funny how you don't believe that there ever was a God who created us all but I'll be willing to bet you believe in the whole 'Big Bang' theory right? Everything just appeared just like that right? Bam!

I truley pitty you because the reason you do not believe in Jesus is because you enjoy your human life so much you couldn't commit to a spiritual one because you would have to give up to many things. You try to make yourself look and sound humerous but basically your weakness shines right through that crappy web page.

Have you ever even taken the time to read the bible? If it's just some crazy story, then how is it that events spoken of thousands of years ago have already taken place and are currently happening? The fact is, it's easier for you to believe there is no God so you can do whatever it is you want and hey it is your poragitive but I'll tell you one thing, when you take your last breath and it's Satans face that greets you I can't image what regret you will feel. Your talking about an eternity of wishing you would have done things different.

I can only pray for you that someday you decide to get to know Christ and his word. I've known people like you who simply asked the Lord to show himself in their life if he truley exists and that was all it took. I pray for you that someday, before it's to late, that you ask that same simple question.

Oh, and by the way, Jesus didn't eat your balls, Satan has them in the palm of his hands!

Bam! Just like that.

I guess you were figurin' it's so much more plausible that the universe was made "gradually" over the course of a week. Seven days to make everything including Planet Earth, Adam and the animals. Is that the same week that God made the Tyrannosaurus Rex and the Woolly Mammoth? Oops! Sorry about pokin' at that tender spot! It musta slipped God's mind to include the creation of prehistoric times in His "How I Created Everything" book.

Christine, little do you know how much information you gave me with this run-on sentence: "I truley pitty you because the reason you do not believe in Jesus is because you enjoy your human life so much you couldn't commit to a spiritual one because you would have to give up to many things."
You see, I don't believe that you'd have made that statement if you were enjoying your human life. You probably wouldn't have even emailed me for that matter. The fact that you would imagine me taking my last breath, being greeted by Satan's face and my eternity of regret clearly illustrates an enjoyment you haven't given up for your faith.

It looks to me like you don't even have to give up the things you enjoy when you choose to believe. Hell, why should you? You've got a "Get out of sin free" card just a whisper away.

Thank you for your email but I'm still not convinced.
Bob

And the earth being created by some 'big bang' theory is so much more plausible right? Have you ever even taken the time to read the bible? Because if you say you have, you certainly weren't paying close attention because dinosaurs are there. Poke all you want Bob at my run on sentences or your references to what you think the Bible is missing but it only makes me pity you more. I believe you use that as a defense mechanism because somewhere deep down you don't 100% agree that there is no higher power. You sound just a slight bit offended. I'm sorry Bob, I didn't hurt you feelings did I? Hey, it's your choice to be one of Satans children not mine.

As for me not enjoying my human life you couldn't be more wrong. I am extremely happy but the difference between me and you is that I can enjoy it without having the sin of this world in it. I don't know where you got the idea that people who believe in God can just sin for free and forgiveness is a 'whisper' away did you say? Sin is only forgiven if a person is truly sorry. If someone continues to do the same things over and over and think they can continue to just say 'forgive me' I think even you are smart enough to know they are not sorry about what they are doing. Therefore that sin is not forgiven. But I could go on and on and on and it would probably never phase you because you seem to have sold your soul already.

You never did answer though, how a book written some thousands of years ago has told so much of what has and is happening in our world today? How is that possible? Who do you think wrote the bible Nostradamus?

All I can say to you Bob is that to not believe is one thing but to mach. Jesus or God the way you have on your website, I believe, has taken away any salvation you might have had a chance at but then again that's not for me to decide. Accidentally coming across your website was what initiated my email nothing more nothing less. I could go on an on as I'm sure you could too about this subject but the only one thing I can do is pray for you and I plan on doing so. Know Bob that it won't be just me but churches full of people and I truly hope God will speak to your heart.

Jesus loves you--JOHN 3:16

Christine,
First off, you're going to have to bear with me a bit. Today is one of those days when I'm totally distracted by the girls who're waving at me, but never fear, I am going to address all of your inquiries.

I have read much of the Bible and I can confidently say that any predictions you're claiming the Bible has made accurately are all vague enough to be interpreted a hundred different ways. I believe that the Bible has documented some historical events accurately but its agenda clearly took precedence over fact (i.e. I don't believe that Lot's wife turned into a pillar of salt and so forth).

Predicting war, sadness, skies falling and mountains crumbling hardly sends a chill down my spine. Forgetting to include the 150 million year reign of the dinosaur in Genesis is equally as unimpressive. Now before you start listing out all of the events foretold by the Bible remember that God could have easily given us full names, exact times and locations. Hell, He could've given us Hitler's fingerprints if He knew so damn much. And don't you go and use that same ol' excuse that it's all inaccurate and vague because that's how spiritual psychics are and the guys who wrote the Bible weren't professional clairvoyants. I've heard that excuse far too often. If that's the case then there really should be some sort of posting on the inside cover addressing that or something. It's just a cop out!

Again Christine, thank you for your email but I have to say that telling an atheist his eternal salvation may be jeopardized by the religious jokes he makes, well it's just about as terrifying as telling me that God will change the language I speak if I try to build a tower to Heaven. It just isn't a threat worth concerning myself with at this particular juncture.
