If you are a true Christian, an answer to this should be a piece of cake. If you can't answer, its time to start thinking for yourself.

Most, if not all, conspiracy theories are based on videos or photographs being heavily scrutinized and seen as false, followed by counter arguments (most of which seem to avoid the issue in question).
The Moon Landing, Area 51, 9/11, Kennedy, Princess Diana etc, etc.
There is no such video or photo evidence of God to scrutinise, yet millions of people still believe, and those that don't, haven't much to argue about because there is no proof to examine.
Have I answered my own question - that maybe atheists could be correct?
Seeing is believing, and all that...

Christians are taught that God will forgive them for ANYTHING they do if they ask for forgiveness

Us Atheists are taught to be responsible for our own actions and treat people right because it's common sense

Christians are taught that Jesus already paid the price for their sins(murder, rape, ect.)

Atheists are taught that we pay the price for our wrong doing with guilt and the judicial system

Christians are taught that no sin is greater than the other

Atheists know that it's common sense that murder is worse than lying about your age

I have always said if you can't say anything nice keep your mouth shut. Unfortunately, it seems that many people on here did not receive the same type of upbringing. Perhaps they were raised by junkies or wolves, I don't know and don't really care. All I do know is that many answers are offensive and uncalled for and downright abusive.

I come on here to gather information from the "regular people." It is my way of hearing what the common folk are thinking, doing and saying. quite often it seems that the common folk are only looking to be insulting and offensive.

True, I have heard from some interesting and positive people, but there have been a good deal of answers on here that come from assinine morons.

Have you had similar experiences? (only intelligent, well thought, non-offensive responses, please)

why do drivers enter the freeway going 45 mph where everyone is traveling at the speed of sound...forget merge...has anyone ever heard the word blend? accelerate to the flow of traffic and blend in. why do i always have to change lanes then after the other driver has ###### up the flow of traffic he suddenly decides to crank it up to 75 and i can change back to the lane that i was forced out of in the first place...that is if i missed the 18 wheeler to my left...sometimes i just say #### em and don't move to the left...now im the nut. enter the highway check the rearview and side mirrors, accelorate and get with it

Jesus cares heart and soul-and read the bible-He sets you free to be happy selflessly-believe the Jewish Scriptures they perfectly predicted Jesus-Like Isaiah 9 vs 6 "Unto us a child is born, a son is given, and he will be the prince of peace (shalom), the almighty God, and the wonderfull counselor."
have the best life-be true to your heart of hearts-thanks david-with purpose now to live for Jesus and in his light and bright happiness

When I say I am a Christian — by Maya Angelou

When I say ... "I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin'."
I'm whispering "I was lost,
Now I'm found and forgiven."

When I say ... "I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say ... "I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
And need His strength to carry on.

When I say ... "I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
And need God to clean my mess.

When I say ... "I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible
But, God believes I am worth it.

When I say ... "I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches
So I call upon His name.

When I say ... "I am a Christian"
I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner
Who received God's good grace, somehow
