I'll start off saying that I am a Christian, yet I find that there are alot of Christians who are total jerks and simply downright offensive. Why is this? Didn't Christ say to love our neighbor?

I'd like answers from all sides of this issue (Christians, athiests, agnostics, jews, muslims, etc), but I would like everyone to be thoughtful in their answers.

Thanks!

I've seen this implied in some recent answers on Y!A regarding killing in war and if it's a sin.

Does God take sides in carnage?

Why do you waste your time debating with Athiests, when Scientology is a bigger threat to your beliefs an values. They are a cult full of secrecy, they are responsible for breaking into the IRS and destroying documents and spying on people who disagree with them. Alot of people make fun of it, and Tom Cruise is the butt of many jokes, but as you will see in the following videos, these people are to be taken seriously, and they need to be stop.... Warning:!!! The first video is not for the weak at heart.... The secon link is from Xenutv... a website that takes on this cult head on. Scientology Kills!.... Are Conservative Christians afraid of the repercussions of speaking out against this cult? Why isn there any outrage from you guys? Please watch the vids and opine.
Unfunny truth of the cult.

Let us take a box and remove everything from it. What do we have left inside the box? Nothing. Nothing? Wrong, there is still something in it. Yep, you are right. There is still something called "gases" in it. Now let us take out ALL the gases from inside the box. There is nothing left in. Is there? There is something still inside. It is a strange matter called "space". I wonder what its made of. But we shall remove all the space from inside the box. Now there's now truly nothing left inside the box - as far as the science I know. Now we have here the TRUE meaning of "nothing". he-he-he.

Can anything exist in the box? No, obviously not because nothing can exist in nothing. For God to exist, does he not have to exist in some medium-call it space or whatever. Since even god cannot exist in nothing, he must need a medium and the medium MUST precede his existence. If a medium must precede his existence then he cannot be God as God must precede everything
else!!

Does this prove that the God those miserable earthlings pray to cannot exist?

Isn't that historically inaccurate? What I was taught in middle school was that the slaves were freed as a war tactic in an effort to weaken the South. The war itself was fought because the South wanted to secede from the union...right? So why do people keep saying that the Union soldiers fought and died to free the slaves?

Oh--and incidentally, this is NOT a racially charged question; I'd just like to know for the sake of knowing. And for all of you who plan on disregarding this statement and lecturing me anyway...

I'm Jamaican, so if I wanted to blame someone, or ask for my five-dollar reparations, I'd have to ask Queen Elizabeth; not G. W. Bush. So please; don't waste valuable answering space with your angry, opinionated banter. Just answer the damn question.

As for everyone else, I'd like your input. :)

Ok they take your money, but I read that modern day and old school Pirates brutally harm people they are plundering. Is there any nice ones that just take what they can that’s valuable and then leave, possibly just tying up the crew temporarily and untying them when they leave? Or are there no Pirates that are this nice?

(I am not talking about Cyber Pirates)

When Jehovah's Witnesses knock a door and when a person answer the door. Jehovah's Witnesses not inroduce theirself that we are Jehovah's Witnesses then tell about their religion. If they are proud of that what they did then say it. Jehovah's Witnesses tell about god and jesus or whatever and not tell what type of religion they in practice. I believe that they try to trick us try to make that person interest in that stuff. Sometime they brain wash to another person to join their religion. They seem hide from people who they are and until later that person will find out. Unless person ask they what religon you are? Then Jehovah's Witnesses will say we are Jehovah's Witnesses. That mean Jehovah's Witnesses not that qualification and trust in god. I spoke of Jehovah's Witnesses's leader tell them to what to do. I not blame all Jehovah's Witnesses only their leader because leader control and brain wash to them, tell them how to take more people join us.

Explaining why the moon doesn't actually follow the 4 year old who says it does. After all, it APPEARS to be following him so, of course it must be.
Creationists are like this 4 year old. They believe what they believe and NO amount of scientific explanation will be sufficient for them.
They simply lack the intellectual capacity to understand.
Thankfully, most 4 year olds grow up. Now, why can't creationists?

A simple yes or no answer will do, please do not ramble on about "of course" or "of course not", or how Christians are stupid or what not.
