"...When you want to give up and your heart's about to break
Remember that you're perfect; God makes no mistakes...

...This is your life, you made it this far
Welcome, you got to believe
Right here, right now you're exactly where you're supposed to be..."

The Constitution says in the first amendment.
"Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. (http://www.archives.gov/national-archives-experience/charters/bill_of_rights_transcript.html)


Note the wording. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."
This simply means that Congress can not make a law establishing one church as the state church, or prohibiting the free
exercise of one's religious beliefs. Why do atheists read this ammendment so that it says "the government shall have no part in any religion."?

He heals me everytime and I know he's just goofing off, but it hurts when he shoots me.

I don't want to hurt his feelings, but I don't think its funny and I would like him to quit shooting me.

How do I tell him?

I propose a new rule for eating steaks. When you get down to the last tasty morsels in a T-bone, near the bone, go ahead and pick it up and nibble. The best meat is near the bone and trying to use a knife and fork to clean it off is inadequate, funny looking and awkward. Don't let the best part of the cow go to waste--grab it and enjoy it.

Fellow Christians. If you have accepted our Lord Christ,
repay him back for what he did for you. He died in Cross for you being tormented and tortured and humiliated.
Repay him back my brothers. It's better to avoid sex completely. You will burn but you will burn for Jesus Christ--you will burn to pure gold. Repression of sex is like prayer and sacrifice to our Lord. Avoid temptation--not even look at or talk with women, if you are unmarried. If u have sex before marriage then in Gods eyes u are married to that person if a man rapes a woman in Gods eyes they are married.
Most women today are transvestites and abominations.
So, it's better not to even marry.
Please dress like a man if you are a man and dress like a woman if you are woman and stop flaunting your satanic lifestyle and defiance of God.

Who or what is the true God you write about? Is Allah that God?
THE TRUE and only GOD is the God of THE BIBLE. First HE
was The God of the Jews alone. Later HE became THE GOD
for both the Jew and the Goyim (that's us).

Allah was found in the "Kaaba" along with many other gods when Mohammed
broke in to the Kaaba to rescue his village god. It was originally only the village
god of those who lived in the village Quraysh. Mohammed elevated that god and
proclaimed his village god to be THE GOD. ~~~ Saddam Hussein is also from
the village of Quraysh.

In the Qur'an Allah is called "the arrogant" (Sur al-Hashar 59.23) and
"the most crafty" (Al Imram 3:54).
Regarding Our Saviour - "they crucified him not" (Sur al-Nisa' 4:157)

Non believer, but for argument’s sake…
Say that someone is gay and has an active sex life as one, and also let’s say there is a God who sees homosexuality as a sin. Every person who makes it to heaven will have their sins, no one will ever become 100% pure, but still many people will make it to heaven. Who is to say that a gay person (presumably committing sin when having sex) can’t be a good person in general and the total of his/hers good acts on earth won’t send them to heaven?

So can we please cut the cr*p with all the “f*gs burn in hell” sh*t…?

Some christians say that god helps people find a home or a job or have a child, etc. Yet, when something bad happens in someones life, god has nothing to do with it. Its always the person's fault for the bad stuff, like its some kind of sin that is commited, but its god's will for all the good stuff. I just dont get it.

The 'stem cell debate' is currently going on again where I live and it seems to me to be mostly the openly religious politicians that are critical of it. It's a clear example of religious nonsense hindering the technological advancement of humanity. Do you agree?
