Rule #1: "All humans are worthless scum who should be tortured forever in hell by the loving God who created them.
Rule #2: Anything good that happens is because of God and anything bad that happens is because of you. i.e. Heaven which God created? All the credit goes to God! Hell, which god created? All the blame goes to us!
Rule #3: Because God created people who disappointed Him so much, He committed suicide over them. (Now granted some might regard this as a somewhat showy and unbalanced gesture for attention from someone who knows He can't actually die but that is why the 4th rule is: It's not supposed to make sense! This is axiomatic with the 5th Rule: We are too stupid to understand God's reasons, but he will torture us in hell for misconstruing his perfect yet oblique will.
Thanks Jesus!

NON-BELIEVERS, NO NEED TO RESPOND!!! REALLY!!

I just saw a question where someone asked why everything isn't called the gospel (because the Bible is the word of God) and was a bit astonished that no one else sought to identify Law and Gospel.

In part, it seems like people sort of understand what the Gospel is, but don't really understand its significance paired with the Law.

Is this not being preached or focused on by the majority of churches (denominations). I'm curious. And state you denomination if you have an opinion. Thanks.

I still remember, I was at a movie theater and I got carded for 'The Transporter'. I was like 21 at the time, and looked it. My friend's brother was 13, looked it and didn't get a second look. I looked at the movie poster later and found out it was rated PG-13!

What an idiot that clerk was.

The book of Revalations is being forfilled. Years ago when we would read the book of Revalations we couldn't quite understand what was being said but now we pick up the news papers and it looks like your reading from the last book of the bible.

There was a really good double rainbow today. I pointed it out to the group I was with and said something about how beautiful it was. I was instantly accused of being gay.
It's just a freaking effect of sunlight and water, me thinking it's pretty doesn't mean a thing about who or what I want in my pants.

I happen to be agnostic. I'm sure there are similar questions out there, but I'm curious myself, and there aren't any that are still open for discussion related to this topic.

I'm agnostic, but I want to be religious. It's just, due to my chosen agnosticism, it's difficult for me to blindly accept what society thrusts into my face. How can we confirm that everything said in the Bible was true? How can we confirm that He is real? Being agnostic, I am NOT confirming and NOT denying His existence. I'm just... "on the fence". I WANT Him to be real, and WANT to believe, but being a true believer has nothing to do with wants or determination. and EVERYTHING to do with faith.
I can't have faith unless I can truly believe He is real; right now... no matter how badly I want Him to be, it's hard to believe. I can say I do, but ultimately, I do NOT say I'm a believer, because I'm not. I just want to be one.
Anyway, here's what I want answered. I know why I'M agnostic, why are you?

the Jews have Elohim and the Muslims have Allah. I find it a bit strange that the same "Pagan" word for god gets picked up by the Jews and Muslims. o strange how the human mind works.

My friend that i work with i care for and we get along pretty well, but he constantly makes jokes like calling god my imaginary friend and such of that nature. I tried to answer his questions, but they were asked in such a way that even if i knew all of the answers he probably wouldn't care because he is soo "sure " he is right. But he also said somthing that triggered somthing inside of me to try to help him. he said he liked the concept of "god" and he wished he was real and he knows that that is just "wishful thinking". that comment made me feel like he wants to know god, but at the same time has alot of doubt. acually he thinks it is all bullsh**. he dosnt want to talk about it either, and i dont want to push it opn him or he will resent it . he wants proof. but i know it's not about proof, but about faith and beleif. for now all i can do is show him jesus through the power of example, and pray. does anyone know of any other things i can do, again without being pushy/?

How many of you believe that its ok for a pastor to do well and make a good predetermined salary but that he should be out all week working just like those who give to the church do?You know doing things like praying the sick, visiting people in hospitols, helping the poor etc. Instead of flying his airplane, playing golf with other pastors and working 3 hours a week on sunday morning.

I've taken Spanish all during school, and now it has been 4 years since I've graduated. I started picking it back up last year again, but not as much as I would have during school. Well especially since I don't use it everyday, it is hard to keep it in my head. I am half mexican, and I've always know some words, because my mom uses them. But my main question is: If I fell asleep with a cassette player or cd player that repeated spanish words or sayings followed by the translations all night long while I slept, for a few nights in a row, would I learn the language quicker than if I just tried learning a phrase a day? I mean is that possible like in the movies?

Atheists obviously don’t have to bother about this type of clash because we've got all the issues sewn up already, but for all you believers, who would win the contest (God or Allah) and why?
