It seems like if your Christian you are automatically target for bashing by the media and ignorant people. Yeah I will admite you got christians out there who got it all wrong and are nutcases, but you are going to get that in any group.

There just seems to be a huge double standard it is ok to bash christians, but if you bash any other group its wrong.

It seems like it'll be a distinct possibility someday to get Christians to leave us alone.

In the streets, handing out pamphlets, "The Goddess loves you! May you take Her love into your heart, along with the God's, and find comfort and peace in the knowledge you will one day, many a eon from now be with them once more."

On the trains, "Mah people, Chaile-dren of tha Gods! May ya HEED mah words, tha END is NEE-YAH! If wea do not pro-TECT tha HOL-EH MOTHA EARTH, we shall all PERISH, by the might of all tha GODS!"

And, lastly, everyone's favorite, door to door, "Excuse me, Sir/Ma'am, but, would you like to live a better life? A life where whatever you believe can come true, with just a little bit of effort? Well, you see, if you'll just give me a moment of your time, I can explain to you the wonders and blessings of the Pagan religion(s)..."

Go ahead. Have a laugh. Stare in fear. It'll end up happening sometime.

There was this guy at the gym, in his early 50s. (I'm legal, so don't worry). I swear he was flirting w/ me, but then I noticed he had a gold earring in his left ear. Is this a gay signal or something (or is that passe?) I don't mean to offend, but I need to know 'cause I see him every other day! thanks.

If we forgave all criminals, the world would become a hell; if we punished all criminals the world would become almost inhabited; so what are the criteria for our moderation?

Why would anyone in their right mind join a racist white power organization like the KKK, Aryan Nations, National Vanguard, or White Aryan Resistance? What's in it for them anyway...besides being with other bigoted neo-Fascists and marching in certain neighborhoods where they are not wanted and getting the s*** beat out of them?

When you see people who think they know the Bible and peruse the Bible to dispute it? How do you feel is the best way to handle those situations.

I doubt that we can change their mind and they are just looking for ways to make fun of Christians. And they are out in force on this website.

How do you feel as Christians we should respond to them?

To my fellow Christians that remain true to God, thanks for persevering and may God Bless you!

Vengeful, angry, willing to smite you down with nary a thought.

New Testament God...loving, kind, forgiving.

Reminds me of a hippie.

Same God? If so, why the discrepancy? What brought about the change?

Why is it so important to you Christians that my soul be saved?

What do you find so offensive about my choice not to believe in your God?

Why do you even pretend to care, when what I say or do has no direct effect on you whatsoever?

What gives you the right to come to my door spreading your gospel?

Don't you think that if I wanted to belong to your religion, then I would?

So why do you do this?

I know, many of you thin skinned pie in the sky ignorant pc simpletons think this is hate...go away...this is for freethinkers.

My evidence is more ancedotal, based on hundreds of conversations with Muslims, but It appears to me, that the majority of Muslims I speak to (90%) literallly....and I mean literally...believe that Muslims dont do anything wrong, they never have, and dont today.


Now, I have never met a jew or christian or any religious person outside Islam that is so dishonest or so brainwashed about their own faith. Understand my claim, I am telling you, most literally believe that Muslims do no wrong ever.

Think of the ramifications of most followers believeing that "no muslim ever does wrong". This means peace is essentially almost impossible because where conflict occurs, there can be only one guilty party.

Listen to Muslims. Do you ever hear any Muslim give some credence to the other side? Look for it...see if I am just a hater...

If we look at some barbaric acts done in the name of God in the past, and feel disgusting, and say "God wouldn't act like that", how do you know God isn't just evolving along with humans?

For example, we look in the old testament and see things we wouldn't believe God could command, then we fast forward to now, and have a totally different moral standard. Does this mean God is only as moral as humans at the time, or does this mean Humans will keep evolving until they have perfect understanding of God?
