It is people who categorize everything into good or bad, right or wrong. The fact is, we are all good AND bad and we are all right AND wrong. So why would Jesus let only good people into heaven, and if he is all forgiving, why would he not let bad people into heaven? Is he really so egotistical that he needs people to believe in him in order to let them into heaven. Relating to the first question, if a person murders, does this make them a murderer, or only while he is killing. If he kills someone and then decides not to kill again, is he still a murderer.

say it like the Terminator: "I'll be back?"

And then as Peter and John and Mary and Mary cried did he say: "I know now why you cry?"

I don't really fit the image of the typical high schooler.

1. I have no interest in fashion at all. My hair is unstyled, my fair is free of makeup, and I tend to wear plainer clothes. Basically, I'm rather low-key in appearance.

2. My tastes and interests don't exactly fit the norm. I'm sure there are other teens who share my interests but I'm definitely not part of the majority.

3. In middle school, particularily in 8th grade, the "popular" kids looked down on me because of these reasons. I could live being ignored, but it was worse than that. Certain kids would mock me as if I was completely unaware of anything and wouldn't be effected by it.

Now, I don't want to become what I scorn, but at times the way they treat me is too much to bear.

How can I maintain my identity and integrity without becoming the mockery of the whole school?

He claims to be a rightful Christian but his answers towards other beliefs are mostly full of hate and provoke anger. Does his Christian belief teach him to be like that?

I don't mean this to sound racist or anything, but any time I've ever eaten at an Indian restaurant, I feel like I'm treated rudely and not like a welcome guest. (I'm a caucasian american.) Is there something about Indian culture that is different regarding manners or do they not like to serve white americans?

Whenever certain Christians address atheists, it always seems to be accompanied by "I'll pray for you." We hate that. Obviously you know we don't believe in your God. The prayer in and of itself means nothing, and the fact that you throw that back just shows complete disrespect for us as people. Imagine a satanist saying they would pray for you, maybe even sacrifice a small animal. You prolly wouldn't take it seriously but it could still be extremely irritating.

Consider if we go by your standards for a moment. Assume the existence of the Christian God. All of us are sinners inately, correct? We must seek salvation from God to reverse this. So if you continue to pray for us and all this does is further alienate us, (which it does) does this mean you're actually contributing to our damnation instead? If people have free will (I forget if that is assumed) God can't do anything about it and the only effect is negative.

If God doesn't exist, all is moot.

Why do people keep it up?

a man is born and raised in a peacefull village. one day he is kidnapped and forced to walk over 200 miles to the coast. many of his relatives die along the way. he is chained up and put on a smelly boat and cast out to sea. he watches many others get sick and die while at sea. those bodies are tossed in the ocean like yesterday's trash. after many weeks at sea he is "sold" and forced to work on a plantation. while fed an unhealthy diet, he gets beaten if he doesn't work hard enough. his master tries to convert him to a religion that tells him that he must work extra hard because his slavemaster is a christian. as a result of this he rejects christianity. does he burn in hell forever and ever and ever and ever, etc. amen?

please don't say "only God knows" c'mon. EARN those points!

I'm not trying to be racist but I'm worried about these ladies. So many latinas are pregant in my neighborhood and quit school to stay at home and rasie their kids while the boys go to school and work. Is this a culture thing?I want them to become something more than unwed teen mothers, I wish there would be more Latinas with college degrees and diplomas and high paying jobs.
