Each additional post confirms way I left religion and am now a nonbeliever. All Christians cherry pick the Bible to mean what they want. They'll deny it. They'll tell you that it's Gods word. They'll tell you that they know what God's will is. Interestingly, NO ONE interprets the Bible literally. If you do, then explain how you justify believing a way to solve rape is to force marriage, or that adulterers should be stoned to death.
Many of you are Christians. Anyone Christian who claims to know that Catalyst is not doing God's work is playing God by choosing to speak for him. Those people are liars and a heretics.
Catalyst whether or not considered Christian, is acting morally when they give to their community. I hope for the sake of humanity that more churches follow their lead.
I can't say whether or not their is a God, but I can usually tell who's honest and who's bullshtiting. If heaven and hell exist, and Catalyst is going to hell, I would rather be their with them than in heaven with those who don't see God in helping their community.
Why does everyone have a problem with the author of the article being transparent about being a nonbeliever? Would it have been better if a Christian had written it? Then it would have been like, "is Jesus great, or is he the greatest?" Yeah, that's good journalism. The articles statement declaring that one must believe in Jesus to be Christian is not an atheist being like the pope. Nonbeleviers and believers alike know that that's a historical claim of Christianity. From there Christianity runs the full spectrum of being good and bad. That's why few of you agree in these comments. Are there any nonjudgmental Christians out there? Anyone wanting to show love for everyone on this page? At least the Dude abides.
Re: “Tom Abate Joins NCJ Staff; New Editor is SF Chron Alum”
Abates should crawl back into the pathetic hole he came from. Nice move "enhancing" a publication by hiring an editor who takes a job through backroom negotiation, who publicly bellyaches about his divorce as an excuse for his lack of ethics, who insults the public as a defense mechanism, and who can't handle simple journalistic questions without spewing anger and buffoonery? Not a good move for your publication. Your lack of integrity makes us wonder, "do you have a stupid publisher? Am I allowed to say that?"
