Most people are Christians because they were raised in Christian homes

Most Atheists become Atheists because of a long independent thinking process

Note: I said MOST, not all

Much like he did to Isaac that is. You don't know for sure if he will stop you or not, but you are being tested. Would you kill your friend?

Atheists need not respond, however, feel free to read the answers.

One example is there is a religion that no longer believes in polygamy except for a spinoff sect of them. Does that mean that from their perspective that God or their prophet was wrong on polygamy and they now corrected it, or are they wrong for not practicing it anymore?

Not just this one religion but many others have changed beliefs or rewritten their bibles. So when a religion changes a philosophy obviously one or the other was wrong. So was it their prophet/God or they?

Not picking on any particular religion just curious which party was wrong to incur the change.

Lyrics

I'd gone through so much other stuff
that walking down the aisle was tough
but now I know it's not enough
I want to be a clone

I asked the Lord into my heart
they said that was the way to start
but now you've got to play the part
I want to be a clone

chorus:
Be a clone and kiss conviction goodnight
cloneliness is next to Godliness, right?
I'm grateful that they show the way
'cause I could never know the way
to serve him on my own
I want to be a clone

They told me that I'd fall away
unless I followed what they say
who needs the Bible anyway?
I want to be a clone

Their language it was new to me
but Christianese got through to me
now I can speak it fluently
I want to be a clone

(chorus)

Send in the clones
Ah, I kind of wanted to tell my friends and people about it, you know
What?
You're still a babe
you have to grow
give it twenty years or so
'cause if you want to be one of his
got to act like one of us

(chorus)

So now I see the whole design
my church is an assembly line
the parts are there
I'm feeling fine
I want to be a clone

I've learned enough to stay afloat
but not so much I rock the boat
I'm glad they shoved it down my throat
I want to be a clone

Everybody must get cloned

Most Christians claim to be a Christian BEFORE they know anything about it. They learn about it AFTER they've already claimed it. Most of them are considered Christians before they could even talk. When Christians do examine Chritianity, they're usually bias against any evidence that would discredit the bible.

Atheists never claim to be atheist before going through a thinking process. Atheists examine Christianity free of being bias.

WHO'S BRAINWASHED? Atheists or Christians

Is it because so many people wrote that they couldn't keep the stories straight? Or did they just make it up as they went along?

For example:

GE 1:3-5 On the first day, God created light, then separated light and darkness.
GE 1:14-19 The sun (which separates night and day) wasn't created until the fourth day.

GE 1:11-12, 26-27 Trees were created before man was created.
GE 2:4-9 Man was created before trees were created.

GE 1:20-21, 26-27 Birds were created before man was created.
GE 2:7, 19 Man was created before birds were created.

GE 1:24-27 Animals were created before man was created.
GE 2:7, 19 Man was created before animals were created.

GE 1:26-27 Man and woman were created at the same time.
GE 2:7, 21-22 Man was created first, woman sometime later.

GE 1:31 God was pleased with his creation.
GE 6:5-6 God was not pleased with his creation.
(Note: That God should be displeased is inconsistent with the concept of omniscience.)

and so forth

I have a jewish friend, who, when I asked what he checked on applications for Race and National Origin, got all red, and didn't really know what to check.

He said that even though he is Jewish, and may check the "White" box, that he isn't realy jewish.

Can you separate the religious side from the ethnic side? He's jewish, but obviously confused.

Many people on here, that I have noticed, have been posting FALSE information about us. Do not trust them. Please, trust me or another JW as myself. We know thet truth and we are trying our hardest to spread it. It truly saddens me so much to see that people are calling us a cult and saying that we are not true Christians. That is so in-correct it's sad. So please be polite to me and ask me something. You can email me at kibabellepretty@yahoo.com or you may ask me here. But if you are shy just e-mail me, please and I will respond to the best ability that I can. And here is my question, why are all you mis-informed people spreading lies about us? It is so rude and so un-true, please tell me why?

What has prayer ever gotten you? Cite scientific evidence, not magic and miracles.

I am certainly no saint by any means, but I can just witness others in pain or hear about things that are sad (like the people in Lebanon) and I just break out in tears and cry like a baby and feel compelled to pray for them. It's uncontrolloable. I once saw a lady in K-Mart that was short $10 to pay for some things for her baby, who was with her and I saw her carefully selecting what was necessity and what was not (it all was; diapers, infant wash, lotions, clothings, etc) So, I just gave her a 10 and went away. I cried in the parking lot, and vowed that I would never sell any of my baby's used items. I'd donate them to a church or a needy family I know for sure can use them...not Gooodwill who resales things. Am I just a punk, or am I crazy? I really do feel other peoples pain. I feel God telling me when I am wrong. It's a little voice that's hard to explain in words. I see things too, like dangerous things in the immediade future that I am advised to avoid, and it is real.
