Genesis 11:7-9
Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech..... Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth.
1 Corinthians 1:27
God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise.
1 Corinthians 14:33
For God is not the author of confusion.

Shouldn't we focus our intelligence on detering crime instead of fighting it?Let's start with the kids ,give them something to do keep them busy enjoying life and freedom,let them mature with a sense of self.That is just an example,but let's do something to get the ball rolling.

Christianity claims to be the only path to heaven. Muslims say Allah accepts no religion but Islam. Christians can't agree on how many gods there are (Mormonism says the number of gods can not be known). Christians can't agree on the nature of God (Jehovah's Witnesses reject the Trinity, a good majority affirm the Trinity). Salvation through faith (Protestantism)? Salvation through works and faith (Catholicsm and Eastern Orthodoxy)? Is baptism necessary? So why should I accept Christ when his followers can't agree on how I should accept him or follow him?

1 Thessalonians 4:11

This should be your ambition: to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we commanded you before.

When ever I ask so why didn’t Jesus fulfill the requirements to be the Messiah such as

He must bring world peace. (Isaiah 2:4, Isaiah 11:6, Micah 4:3)

He must influence the entire world to acknowledge and serve one God. (Isaiah 11:9, Isaiah 40:5, Zephaniah 3:9)

He must gather the Jewish people from exile and return them to Israel. (Isaiah 27:12-13, Isaiah 11:12)

I am told he will do all of this in a second coming.

So where is the proof text that says that the Messiah will do ABC, die, come back and ascend to heaven, then come back down to do XYZ

Are you so self-important and swayed by the Bible that you think God stopped after he created such a pathetic species as ours?! He's God, don't you realize that he could have done much better than we have done?! If you get serious for a moment, and think outside the Bible box, you will finally realize that we made the whole stupid thing up, just like we've been creating gods ever since we have had a sense of our own lives!! A god or gods has ALWAYS been the answer to human "mysteries" ever since we began tracking our own history!!

The Bible's God, ruler of the universe, runs counter to the American Constitution. He does not support democracy (He rules; Psalms 2,89,110: the King is Yahweh’s son), freedom of religion (no other gods allowed) or freedom of speech (no blasphemy). So if the Bible was true and the Bible's god did exist, most everyone in the country would be thrown into a lake of fire for supporting things such as democracy, freedom of religion or speech.

I mean, he was the SON OF GOD. All the Greek and Egyption religions that preceeded Christianity had stories of Gods having mortal concubines.

And even if you think Jesus didn't bust a nut, what about his boys?

African Americans as a whole have never done anything completely evil to anybody. Also, I've never come across a racist black person.

Maybe not all of u use that when u tell people about Islam, but how does that help your argument? I dont see how. Also Muslims say "islam is not a religion, its a relationship". Thats what christianity is also.

First of all marijuana is very beneficial and if you say it kills you shut up dont give me a answer because the research company that said marijuana is harmful have biased results. in all countries where marijuana is legal the research companies found it to be beneficial more than it is harmful ( it isn't that harmful).
