If we were honest with ourselves, we put many gods before us to save us in our day to day lives. We use doctors and medication to save us. We use insurance to save us. We use mechanics to save us— The list goes on and on. Salvation in Greek means “all your needs supplied” like a baby is cared for. Jesus wants to be our Savior in all areas of our lives. Angels are just waiting for us to trust in God so that they can minister to our needs. It will take time for most of us to completely trust God, but in the mean time our underemployed angels are waiting.

You know the story about the man standing on the roof of his house in a flood, praying for God to save him, right?
God did not invent the carburetor, nor make his living rebuilding them. Why would I expect one to fall out of the sky when I can go to a human specialist for help?
If there are such things as underemployed angels, why don't they have cell phones by now?
Unless Jesus is a physician, a pharmacist, and a mechanic who sells insurance, I'll take my salvation in reality.
The parents of the baby exist .
So your J-boy is the ultimate absentee father, then. He's got a lot of child maintenance to pay.
Are you fundies going to pay that? But then, you've got your hands full, I'm afraid: trying to explain to the IRS why yours isn't a religion, but is 'A Personal Relationship With Jesus'.
And so he's fucked too. Again. With all that back tax for you .
My father - a hardcore Atheist - existed ...!
"Salvation in Greek means 'all your needs supplied'.
Except that it doesn't. The word comes from the Latin which was borrowed from the Greek "soterios" which just means "to save". Nothing more.
Just trying to save you from being embarrassed.
"If we were honest with ourselves, we put many gods before us to save us in our day to day lives. We use doctors and medication to save us. We use insurance to save us."
People who rely on modern medicine and insurance for some measure of stability are not using either service in a "salvic" sense, anymore than people who benefit by modern sanitation worship toilets.
This kind of 'misunderstanding,' where the OP flatly pretends not to recognize a difference between "use" and "worship," is irritating on its face. It's an overtly dishonest statement on the OP's part, and an insult to his readers whom he expects to accept such bullshit as a legitimate argument against over-reliance.
Jesus wants to be our Savior in all areas of our lives
No he doesn't. He didn't even depend on God's powers to save himself. When the devil invited Jesus to prove his faith by jumping off the pinnacle of the temple, even Jesus wasn't stupid enough to trust in God's magic and forgo common sense.
Why are you using the Internet as your Saviour instead of having your thoughts transmitted telepathically by one of the Lord's unemployed communications angel?
This man is utterly insane and a great danger to himself as well as anyone who might be under his care or influence. He is in dire need of being institutionalised before he starves himself because he trusts the Lord to feed him.
" in the mean time our underemployed angels are waiting."
Waiting for what? Affordable Care Act part II?

"Unemployed angels? Who tuk ther jurrrbs? "
Illegal spic angels. Half of them are named Jesus.
So Mark is worshipping every single person who helped him in some way or other as a god?
Wow, talk about being a polytheist!
We use doctors and medication to save us. We use insurance to save us. We use mechanics to save us
Because that actually works. When's the last time your broken down car was magically fixed by laying hands on the hood and praying?

Great analysis ... know what would be better?
Your suicide. Come on. Make the world a better place by killing yourself.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
