The most controversial opinion I have is that I believe that a genuine believer in Christ, can't be a criminal/evil-doer. Specifically, evil Godless heartless actions against others...For I believe it is a truism, that if a supposed believer in Christ and his peaceable teachings, went and done something anti-Christ, then he couldn't believe in Christ, otherwise he wouldn't do these things, because he would fear Christ, and the consequences.
I fail to see how a thug could be embracing peaceful teachings and love for others, while being criminal. That's a clear contradiction.
I also believe that everyone agrees with this deep down, even atheists who have ardently argued against me in the past over this issue. Because it's so self-evident. Also, I believe false claims of the NTSF are aimed at me, because of my belief. Here's my implication, in it's form;
Believers in Christ cannot be thugs/criminals/evil-doers etc.
If you're a criminal then you don't believe in Christ.
This claim in itself says nothing about atheists. It just shows the truism that a person who truly fears Christ cannot do evil. An obvious example is a thug. If you went up to a thug at night and told him about Jesus, he'd laugh at you. Does anyone actually believe a thug could be a believer? Ofcourse nobody does.
Also, I find the argument that all the prisoners are believers, most amusing, and an insult to my intelligence.
