Our friends from church have invited us over to their house along with another couple we do not know and told us not to bring anything unless we felt the need to. We would usually bring someone a bottle of wine for the dinner, but they do not drink. Is there anything else that we should bring?

Where is the evidence? Why do they never offer pagan scriptures as proof of Christianity's borrowing from previously existing pagan religions?

The scare tactics are in The Bible to make one conform-if this LOVING GOD of yours is so filled with blessings and goodness and kindness and is a Human philanthropist-Then why put HELL to your head! Conform or Burn!

Christianity has been a disaster from the start: they nearly eradicated Classical Civilization, they slaughtered both pagans AND "unorthodox" Christians, they plunged the West into a thousand years of backwardness, staged bloody Crusades, had a brutal Inquisition, burned thousands of "witches", plus a ruinous Thirty Years' War. Christianity is demonstrably an utter failure at improving people's lives. It fails the test of Jesus: "A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit."

ENOUGH! Time for Christianity to go!

When asked what race I am, I answer "human." When trying to pinpoint my origins, I say I'm Illinois-American, as I was born in Illinois, as were my parents and grandparents. My ancestors came from so very many countries, and as far as I know, none came from the Caucasus mountains, yet people keep trying to pigeonhole me as caucasian.

If we're all desendants from the Tigrus-Euphrates region, as DNA tracking is discovering, where's the cut-off point? How many generations back do we go to categorize ourselves?

Why can't people accept the fact that I'm just a regular, proud American? If it's a continent they want, can't I just me a North American?

Isn't believing in no moral absolutes far less rational than believing in the doctrine of Christ ,(love your neighbor as yourself) the moral standard of the Bible. No absolutes is saying that there is nothing defined as definitly right or wrong and that only what you or society regard as right or wrong is, but nothing is absolute. If there are no absolutes, if one person or society believes it's ok to rape and murder it would be acceptable to them . there has to be a supreme being that has a supreme set of rules and restrictions in place, if not we would annihilate and abuse ourselves., because no one would believe that wrong is wrong. Their would be no need for accountability or law.
Do you honestly believe there is not a standard that all people should live by, and that Man should do what is right in his own eyes


Why do most people who don’t believe in God call this rational thinking and Christianity irrational or mindless

Proverbs 12:
15. The way of a fool is RIGHT IN HIS OWN EYES: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise

Hope this makes sense

A very famed Irish blessing which all Irish know
May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind always be at your back
may the sun smile upon your face
and may God keep you in the palm of his hand
I have always wondered if this blessing can be attributed to someone It's so nicely said that it almost definitly has to be done by a good writer. Does anyone know who?

I'll make you a deal: If YOU read "The Jesus Mysteries" by Timothy Freke & Peter Gandy, I promise to read your Bible cover to cover. Deal? Or will you let me go to Hell?

i know some of you will argue this point, but you'd be 'preaching to the choir.' this is more for the people who believe that there is only ONE way to. is that really fair? don't quote the bible or your pastor, whoever you listen to, think about it yourself. is it fair?

It amazes me how many non-believers there are, and that people actually make sick remarks about our Father. It's sad to know what will happen to them when He returns. He is very real and could change your life.

What about the Shroud of Tourin? And the box of James, brother of Jesus' bones? Those aren't proof of Jesus? I mean really. Why would 12 guys get together and make up some guy to believe in, and make up all his teachings? That makes no sense. Think about it all.

I am doing a presentation on Wicca and need to find out what the stereotypes are. I don't need preached to or told all wiccans are going to hell...I want to hear every stereotype, even if they are stupid, like they sacrifice children!
I have studied the religion and don't need a lecture on how it works or what it really is...I already know.

Thanks in advance!

God says we should forgive those who trespass against us, but what if someone committs a horrible sin against us and we cant find it in us to forgive them? He died two years ago and I didnt have the chance to confront him, and I still have nightmares. Will God understand why I cant find the streanth to forgive?
