When ever I read the questions, about every third one is a slam against christianity in peticular but also most other religiouns as well. Christians are just people like everyone else. They believe what they believe. We live in America and it is our right. Ligten up- please.

Since Christ died on the cross for the sins of the world.
Hebrews 10:11-14
"Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. But when this Priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, He sat down at the right hand of God. Since that time He waits for His enemies to be made His footstool, because by one sacrifice He has made perfect forever those who are "the holy ones."

Hebrews 10:17-18
"Then He adds: "Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more." And where these have been forgiven, there is no longer any sacrifice for sin."

I know it was Christ that jave us the lords prayer but that was before he died and fogave us all
why don't we give thanks for the forgiveness we alreaddy have instead of asking for it again

I ran across this answer while playing "six degrees of seperation" with my questions:
"Well what do you use the Bible for on your train rides to work everyday? Why have a Bible if you don't believe anything it says? If I were an atheist, I wouldn't even waste my time reading it."
I'm agnostic(sometimes leaning toward atheist on a really bad day:), but I still think the Bible has merit as a great literary work, and I acknowedge its HUGE influence on history and culture.
I'm even planning on taking a few religion classes at my college. I don't know if they'll change my mind about anything, but don't you think it'd would be a good idea for everyone to read at least one holy book/sacred manuscript from another religion?
(I'm planning on taking Sanskrit and Akkadian in my junior and senior years, too :)

The UN has passed hundreds of resolutions against Isreal, and the US has vetoed many many of them.

Why does the US support them if that part of the world wants them gone so badly?

Please don't say because they're the only democracy in the region, because the US has supported dictatorships and even Osama Bin Laden when it suited the needs of the US. So what is the US getting from giving Isreal over $6Billion dollars in aid every year?

it can be argued that many of the problems we face can be traced to an over-reliance on religious moral systems which seriously suffer many flaws. Obedience to authority and dependence on ancient texts are a poor starting point for dealing with complicated modern issues. Far from having too much godless morality in the world, could we benefit from a bit more secular reasoning about the moral issues facing us and a bit less worrying about what gods or scriptures have to say?

When people started to question what happened to babies that died before baptism they created this "Limbo" concept, but now they are saying that the babies go straight to heaven.

Almost every theistic, religious system of morality is founded upon the premise that a god has created morality and has issued moral commands to humanity. Real morality, however, cannot be mere obedience. A truly moral choice cannot be dependent upon a desire to avoid punishment. Moreover, eternal punishment for temporal crimes, however awful, is itself immoral because it is so disproportionate. The death penalty for stealing an apple would be less unjust. If a person does things merely for a reward, their choice is based upon selfishness, not moral values. The absence of intellectual values that would encourage reasoning about our choices is consistent with the countervailing emphasis on obedience to authority.
As a matter of fact, it can be argued that many of the problems we face can be traced to an over-reliance on religious moral systems which seriously suffer from the above flaws

Two people have already told me that here. I know pentecostal people in real life but I have never asked them about what they have to do to be saved?

If you don't speak in tongues, what happens?

I am a Christian and I have never spoke in tongues.

The liers should stop creating WARS, and should start respecting other people's culture and idiolism.

We can't all be eating at Mac'donalds, or KFC or wearing Nike and walking around in Prada.

We want to be who we choose to be or who our Parents taught us to be.

We want to be free from the ailments which the children of the West are currently going through.

I still want to be Human.
