Atheists: Time to Come Out of the Closet!

That's not my definition. I didn't say any Christian who's sinned is not a Christian - I said any so-called Christian who leads a life of crime (ie, a career criminal) is not a Christian.You call yourself "a moral being", yet you repeatedly lie about what I've said. Reciting a stupid, false, unbiblical Protestant doctrine doesn't help your cause.Christ has not "freed us from the penalty for our sins". The Bible says we (Christians included) will all be judged according to our deeds:"For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive good or evil, according to what he has done in the body" (2Cor 5:10).Any Christian who understands this would fear God and therefore not become a career criminal or a serial killer. You claimed that my assertion was that "only atheists can be criminal". That's not the same as what I actually said, which is that "All career criminals and serial killers are atheists."As usual, you've lied about what I said.For starters, a "criminal" is not necessarily and a "career criminal" ... a criminal is someone who commits a crime, whereas a "career criminal" - according to the Collins English dictionary- is "a person who earns his or her income through criminal activities". Yet another strawman. I didn't assert anything about "criminals" - I referred to "career criminals". And I never said anything about being "saved".Furthermore, a lot of your jailhouse "Christians" never "strayed from the path" bcoz they were never on the "path" in the first place - they identify as "Christian" only for baptismal or cultural reasons. A lot of your jailhouse "Christians" would actually be agnostic or even atheist.

Unfortunately, not all Cathloics are God-fearing - some of them don't even believe in God or practise the Catholic faith. A lot of "Catholics" identify as such simply bcoz they were baptised Catholic as infants. The Bible suggests there's more to it than that:"work out your salvation with fear and trembling" (Phil 2:12);"And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell" (Matt 10:28);"And if you invoke as Father him who judges each one impartially according to his deeds, conduct yourselves with fear throughout the time of your exile (1Peter 1:17). Any Catholic who doesn't genuinely fear the One who has the power to send them to hell for eternity is a fool.
Do you think a "Catholic" Italian Mafioso fears God? Of course not - they don't even believe in God - they're atheists masquerading as Catholics. I agree. However, a Catholic who leads a life of unrepentant crime (a career criminal) is a "Catholic" in name only.​Catholics are sinners, just like everyone else. The crime rate amongst Catholics is no worse than in the wider community.​Firstly, all my posts should be thought of as gifts.Secondly, I admit I did err in asserting that only atheists become career criminals or serial killers. I wish to retract that statement and replace it with this: Only atheists and agnostics become career criminals or serial killers.

In 1Cor 5:9-13, Paul instructs the Church to judge unrepentant sinners and expel them from the Christian community if necessary (obviously, the sin(s) in question would have to be very serious).In the Catholic Church, this recourse is called Excommunication - a Catholic is officially expelled from the Church and is no longer considered a Catholic."I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with immoral men; not at all meaning the immoral of this world, or the greedy and robbers, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. But rather I wrote[f] to you not to associate with any one who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or robber—not even to eat with such a one. For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? God judges those outside. “Drive out the wicked person from among you.”" (1Cor 5:9-13) 1John 5:16-17 says there are sins that are "deadly" and sins that are "not deadly".In Catholicism, "deadly" sins are called Mortal sins; sins that are "not deadly" are called Venial sins."If any one sees his brother committing what is not a deadly sin, he will ask, and God will give him life for those whose sin is not deadly. There is sin which is deadly; I do not say that one is to pray for that. All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin which is not deadly." (1John 5:16-17) Hardly. What is your interpretation of that passage? Sounds to me like you've misunderstood it. Protestant theology produces lots of "dueling" (sic) verses (ie, verses that are contradictory) - that's what crap theology does; it makes a mess of the Scriptures. Give an idiot the Bible to read and the result will be idiot theology.If you see a conflict between Romans 3:23-25 and 2 Corinthians 5:10, that means you've misinterpreted them.Scripture cannot contradict Scripture (oh, unless you're a Protestant). Besides the Excommunication verse (1Cor 5:9-13) mentioned above, there's Matt 7:21-23, where Jesus disowns certain Christians due to their sins.
In Rev 2, Jesus threatens to "remove" the church at Ephesus due to its sinful works.And then there's John 2:3-6, which says a Christian who doesn't keep God's commandments doesn't "know" Christ, is a "liar" and "the truth is not in him" - in other words, he's not a Christian. Quick - go tell the Pope!! LOL.
