I'm either preaching to the choir or shouting at deaf ears here, but here goes. I'm no Christian, but I still know how to read. And I'm fairly sure that Jesus said things such as "love your enemy", "turn the other cheek", "judge not lest ye be judged" and all sort of other good stuff along those lines.

So why do so many Christians (and no, not all of you, I admit) seem to forget about all of that and condemn gays, Jews and just about anyone who is different than them.

And if you want to throw me evidence that Jesus was a hate-monger and a homophobe, well, it's those kinds of contradictions that fuel MY belief - the belief that all organized religion is pretty much a sham to begin with.

I'm not trying to be rude or mean or anything and I know that African Americans were treated terribly...but does people not realize how bad the Native Americans were treated? And they are still treated that way, living on these sh1ty reservations....it just isn't right.

Isaiah 52 vs 13-5 vs 12 is so simple-why should my people call Isaiah a liar and reject Jesus our Messiah? Isaiah predicted 700 bce "He shall be exaulted, but first marred more than any man, and he will lay down his life and make atonement for our sins."

Muslims lie too and say that someone took Jesus place-get a life and get real-who else ever died to make atonement the blood sacricifice pure commanded for our sins except for Jesus!

he tells how to let him in our heart too Revelation 3 vs 19&20 Behold i stand at your heart door and knock, if ask me in i will come in deliver u from the sins your repented for and be your friend, amen" so prayed that and the Messiah came into my heart and is my good shepherd now and best friend.

I like Ahmadinejad and I don't know what to do. I am obsessed with him looking at his pictures all day. I have no idea what to do. I want him so badly. I am obsessed and want him to come to my house. I need to stop this because I am having thoughts that are not right. What should I do?

A friend of mine who lives in the Twin Cities was surprised when Prince showed up at his door representing the Jehovah's Witnesses. Prince has stated that he will not play any more immoral music and has dedicated his life to this way of life. What would you do if he showed up at your door?

I just wonder if anyone else sees that because atheists generally feel that there is nothing after death that they appreciate what they have. It seems to me like religious people take this life for granted by thinking that there is something better afterward.

This is regarding how old Jesus was when the wise men came to give him gifts. Some say he was an infant some say around 2 years old. Before you answer think about this...

If Jesus was 2 or 3 wouldn't King Harrod have had children up to age 4 or 5 killed instead of only two and under? Also the wise men followed the star to get to the city where Jesus was born. Couldn't God have had the star appear long before Jesus was born to lead the wise ment to his birth place? Please show verses in the bible to support your theory if you think he was 2 or 3 because I can not find anything that says He was that age, only that He was a child and as far as I know an infant is also considerd a child.

If China keeps giving all their little girls away who are the little boys going to marry when they grow up? This is not a mean question. I know someone who has adopted 3 beautilful little girls from China. I'm just curious who the boys are going to marry when they grow up.

I enjoy reading Christmas books... something that reminds me of a simpler time, a happier world, and a generation gone by.

Anyone have any suggestions for good Christmas books?

Muslims keep saying on here that we should "inform ourselves" about islam and read the koran and giving links to islam sites.

Fair enough - you think we are ignorant about islam. Most of you seem to be ignorant about Christianity. So if I take the time to read your koran, will you read my Bible?

Thought not.
