Consider this. Back in the day, our ancestors, forefathers or people before us, were VIOLENT! Burning people at the stake, hanging people then setting them ablaze, all kinds of kinky torture devices, and techniques. Strapping people to the hull of a ship and dragging them through coral reefs! (Either way you're dead. Exposure, shark bate, hemorrhaging or all three.) Maybe they were more creative and less violent? Or are we more violent and less creative?

Do you think one must be Christian to adhere to the intent of the 10 commandments or that non-Christians are actively violating the 10 commandments in order to destroy humanity?

They both say they are positive they have the truth, but neither can prove it.

Humans that are now dead not alive anymore. Humans who disobeyed and committed suicide, humans who disobeyed and murder other humans.

Humans who disobeyed and sinned against God. What do you think is going on in hell? And what do you pictured hell to be. What do you describe hell?

Everybody is fine, staying close-by with family, but lots of smoke and water damage to property that will take a long time to fix. I don't know them well, but would like to do something to help.

and why would any one set of cultural myths be more valid or more true than another? for example ... why do Christians believe that Jesus is more true a character than say ... Krishna? or Sidhartha?

How can someone else pay for your sins? can someone else pay for your sins? In what sense is morality and justice served if someone, say, offers to take the place of a condemned criminal in the electric chair? Does this change the fact that the criminal has not been held responsible for his actions? And how is the innocent death anything more than a sad, pointless waste that doesn’t add a grain to the overall moral equation?

I personally think that the ones that should be making it big are the ones that don't get recognized ENOUGH for their services. Like soldiers and alike, teachers, EMT'S, caring and hard-working parents and people who help others in general ...

In English, when you talk about breaking a leg or someone breaking your heart, you use the same word - break. It seems to be different in Chinese.
斷 了 腿
斷 了 氣
你 傷 了 我 的 心
你 摧 了 我 的 心
How do you correctly express the fact that someone has broken your heart?

So many people say, I don't need to go to church to have a relationship with God. But that's not the only reason you go to church. It's not just going to pray, the whole idea is to take time out of your life, on the seventh day of rest, and worship him,with him. Is it just that people don't get that?

In a Purpose Driven Life, it is stated that, "Because God made you for a reason, he also decided when you would be born and how long you would live. He planned the days of your life in advance, choosing the exact time of your birth and death. The Bible says, "You saw me before I was born and scheduled each day of my life before I began to breathe. Every day was recorded in your book!"

If that is true, then isn't it true that God has pre-planned every abortion that has taken place on our planet?


So, you are fighting against God's plan then...

Serious answers please, nothing insulting. If i am misunderstanding something, tell me.

It just seems like we're all under a dream-like state of mind. No one questions why we are here. They don't question why anything. They live and die, an endless cycle. They think they're right all the time, some think they're always wrong. But no one bothers to explore, what is this in front of me? Am I nothing more than an insect, on top of a sugar cube?

Why is it that us Christians are all put down cause you had a bad experience with one christian? I am a born again believer by God's will and a Baptist by choice. Do not put all christians down when you do not know them. And if you had someone to do you wrong and said they was a christian well I think I would question if they are saved. You will find many who claim to be saved but really they aint, and could be cause they was fooled by Satan or they wanna fool everyone. Try getting to know me before you judge me and place me in a category.

The comments i've heard from Christians about Atheists were totally false.

Do they feel that's the only way to stop us?

examples of lies about Atheists

Something bad happen to us that caused us to become Atheists
We're bitter
We're angry
We are in deneil
We have no values or standards
We can't be happy
We must be sad
We must feel terrible about the after life

It's pretty clear that Christians are way off base about Atheists

They disobeyed God by eating from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil (Right and Wrong). So, yes… Right?
Just one problem. How could Adam and Eve have been expected to comprehend the implications of their actions if, prior to their indiscretion, they had no concept of wrong, evil, punishment, suffering, pain, and death? Even if God had been successful in adequately explaining all of these concepts and the distinction between right and wrong to them beforehand, this means that he would have had to have given them knowledge of good and evil anyway, which turns this entire story into one big ridiculous farce.
Doesnt it?
