Yes, we. All us Americans. How many did we kill?

If you support this war, then don't you dare disconnect yourself from the actions of our military. WE are killing those people. You, me, Lindsay Lohan, the barista at your corner Starbucks, your grandma, all of us.

We are killing people.

So, any clue? Any idea how many people we killed today?

do young adults who have been born into a religion (i.e. through baptism as an infant) believe because it is inbred into their psyche through their parents or because they actually have done some soul-searching?

It makes me somewhat upset when i see humans become zombies, not even bothering to investigate other religions or mindsets. Only you can decide what you believe and I feel that this custom has driven many a confused mind to atheism

Today anyone who has an opinion is quickly labeled as a facist, a narrow-minded, a nazi, a racist, a sexist, a communist, a capitalist... any "ist"!

Truth is that today nobody can disagree with what's ON TV!

How did mankind ever become that stupid or hypocrite?

I've asked serveral questions giving them question titles that I knew would get your attention and some of the answers from believers, christians or thoise who proclaim to be christ like, it shows just what the world expects from believers and that is to try and to scare the hell out of them rather then sharing Gods word and loving them with his word. Most of your answers where mean, attempting to scare by making God out of a mean God. I know God and I've spent half my life sharing God's Love and never will I make anyone think that God is a mean monsterous God. I pray that when you answer questions that you would remember that there are souls that need dirrection and guidance from "you" believers. For we are to "Go" in to the world and teach, basically sharing Gods word and bringing hope and faith in to the world.

God Loves you and so do I

Stay Blessed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Although I can hand you no scientific proof there is a God, can you give me any that there isn't?

Note: Believing in anything requires faith. That's why they call it that. Can you prove to me that Alexander the Great ever existed, because I have no physical proof of that either but I believe it?

Let me preface my question with some personal information:
I am an Atheist ( don't try to convert me ),
I am NOT judgemental towards anyones beliefs regardless of whether I agree with or disagree with them.
I read this Christian story about a deck of cards ( Most Atheists actually know alot about and can qoute the bible even though we don't believe ) The story uses a deck of cards to substitute for a bible when a returning soldier has no bible for church service.
Enjoy the story.
My question is will Christians accept that all Atheists are not bad???
During the North African Campaign, a bunch of soldier boys had been on a long hike. They arrived in a little town called Casino. The next morning being Sunday, several of the boys went to church. A sergeant commanded the boys in church.
After the Chaplain read the prayer, the text was taken up next. Those of the boys that had a prayer book took them out. One boy had only a deck of cards, and he spread them out. The sergeant saw the cards and said, "Soldier, put away those cards." After the service was over, the soldier was taken prisoner and brought before the Provost Marshal.
The Marshal said, "Sergeant, why have you brought this man here?"
"For playing cards in church, Sir," was the response.
The Marshal asked the soldier, "And what have you to say for yourself, son?"
"Much, Sir," replied the soldier.
The Marshal stated, "I hope so, for if not I will punish you more than any man was ever punished."
The soldier said, "Sir, I have been on the march for about six months. I have neither bible nor a prayer book, but I hope to satisfy you, sir, with the purity of my intentions." And with that, the boy started his story ...
"You see, sir, when I look at the Ace, it reminds me that there is but one God.
And the deuce reminds me that the bible is divided into two parts: the Old and the New Testaments.
When I see the trey, I think of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
And when I see the four, I think of the four evangelists who preached the Gospel: there was Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
And when I see the five, it reminds me of the five wise virgins who trimmed their lamps; there were ten of them: five were wise and were saved, five were foolish and were shut out.
When I see the six, it reminds me that in six days God made this heaven and earth.
And when I see the seven, it reminds me that on the seventh day, God rested from his great work.
And when I see the eight, I think of the eight righteous persons that God saved when he destroyed the earth: there was Noah, his wife, their sons and their wives.
And when I see the nine, I think of the lepers our saviour cleansed, and that nine of the ten didn't even thank him.
When I see the ten, I think of the ten commandments that God handed down to Moses on a tablet of stone.
When I see the King, it reminds me that there is but one King of Heaven, God Almighty.
And when I see the Queen, I think of the blessed Virgin Mary who is the Queen of Heaven.
And the Jack or Knave is the Devil.
When I count the number of spots in a deck of cards, I find 365, the number of days in a year.
There are 52 cards, the number of weeks in a year.
There are four suits, the number of weeks in a month.
There are twelve picture cards, the number of months in a year.
There are thirteen tricks, the number of weeks in a quarter.
So you see, Sir, my deck of cards serves me as a bible, an almanac and a prayer book."

If three girls move to a 10 acre plot of land, and only one third of that land has fruit-bearing trees, then if the second girl becomes attracted to the third will the first still want to borrow the third's divining rod to search for water in order to irrigate girl 2's fruit trees?

or is she just letting herself be used?

I got curious as to when Christianity really started. I know my religion is older but how old is Christianity? So I looked it up and I found this:
http://www.angelfire.com/realm2/amethystbt/satanchristianity.html
So Christians killed millions of people in order to make their religion grow. Interesting isn't it? So what do you say to that? Can you really justify all that?

If I except Jesus what am I being saved from sinners, religious people who think they know the way, the devil, or what?

It seems to me since no one on earth in to days times have ever seen the devil then who are we to say that the devil is the one who is tempting us. Please bellieve me I'm not glorifying satan I'm just curious as to why do we always say that we're being saved when if fact it seems that we are actually being saved from our own selves and our own un-Christ like ways and desires.

It seems that living a positive life that is pleasing to God should be good enough.

Religious people you all can get the world mixed up because you all make God out to be a unjust type of God who's mean or something.

I think that God loves me just the way I am, and he loves others just the way they are also.

Sometimes we educate our minds with so much earthly knowlege that we're to educated for God {I wish I could have seen Jesuses diploma--LOL}

God bless all of you!!!!!!!!!!!
