why are christians so pessimistic?
you say something that atheists think something like:

"if you dont belive in heaven, what's the purpose of life? if we die we will go to dust so we just live our life the way we want it"

Abrogation is the principle that the later doctrines in the Quran carry more weight than the earlier ones. The writings in the Quran became more aggressive as the military strength of the Muslims grew

Somebody recently wrote an answer to another question that strongly implied that 'this is a bad world, which is why Jesus will come to take us away from it'.

As someone who doesn't believe in the End Times, I have an absolute moral imperative to try however possible to improve this world - the only one I believe in.

My question is whether or not a believer in the End Times shares this moral imperative.

Was there not, really, a time where in the swimming halls trunks gladly were seen and the men and boys were asked or it just normally without swimming the trunks?

We make our decisions about the world based on evidence, whether those decisions be mundane or profound. We base our legal systems on strict guidelines designed to produce impartial evidence so we can make unbiased decisions. We can ascertain the presence of danger by logicly observing our immediate surrounds. We manoeuvre our lives to gain favourable conditions by thinking about our situations and acting apon them. In spite of all this why do we need to use faith, and not logic, to make a decision on our origins, afterlife, and morals arguably the most important decisions we will ever make? It just dosen`t make sense.

Such as how the Amish live. Some Christians are finding it very difficult to live in the modern times. Perhaps we could give them land to sustain an 1980's life style. We can include Firebirds, and Camaros, as well as all their 80's needs. I think it would be a humane thing of us to do for them.

The rest of the Christians are more than welcome to help us fashion this little bubble for them. What do you think?

You don't & you won't see a Muslim making fun of Jesus, Moses, Buddha or the Hindu gods & goddesses here. We won't stoop to yr level.

I agree, there r so-called "Muslim" terrorists commiting terrible things in the name of Islam & trust me, even us Muslims r mad & very ashamed of them for all the bad things they've done but I stand by my religion because I know that their evil acts r NOT ISLAMIC but actually POLITICAL. They say they r doing these things for God but we all know they r hiding something.

Your insults may wound us for a few minutes, but after a while we'll forget all about them as we continue to live our lives as Muslims.

Surah 109. Al Kafirun from the Quran:
Say:"O you people who reject faith! I do not worship what you worship, Nor will you worship what I worship, And I will not worship what you have been used to worship. To you be your religion, and to me my religion.

Quran teaches us many beautiful things, but it is up to us to carry them out the right way

I do. Certainly, as far as guaranteeing that (in any given region or nation) there'll be technicolour blue skies during the day and rain will only fall during the the early hours. Therefore, no more rain-checks at sporting events...

And that man would have to destroy God to remove ignorance and fear of the unknown from the face of the Earth through reason and scientific thoughts. If peace is to reign supreme.

Boy, aren't there some nutters out there in YA land? Here a few I've seen in the last 5 minutes: all vaccines are bad for you, 9/11 was not caused by muslim extremists, crop circles are by aliens (yes, some people still believe that old one!), man never landed on the moon!

Did they ever hear Sagan's famous words "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence"? Obviously not!

I vote we ask for a new catagories section 'Conspiracy theories'.

I have been told many times that I am a good Christian. I am blonde, blue eyed and wear a cowboy hat. People consider me honest, loving, giving and considerate. And they presume my religion. However, when they find out that I am a non-believer they turn their shoulder to me.

I do not admit to my skepticism in real life anymore, especially after 9/11, because of the intolerance I experience. Have you, as a non-believer, found this to be so for you?
