Let's have a look at some of the christian areas in the world and see why they are christian.

Europe

Christianity becomes entrenched as part of European culture as a result of Constantine's wishes.

Africa

European christians invade Africa, kill hundreds of thousands, enslave others, steal land, destroy local traditions and beliefs and replace them with christianity.

North America / Australia

European christians invade, steal land from the native population, nearly wipe out the native population and then come in such droves as to come to completely dominate the area after several generation.

Central America / South America / Phillipines

European christians invade, kill hundreds of thousands, enslave others, steal land, destroy local traditions and beliefs and replace them with christianity.

The spread of christianity worldwide doesn't quite seem as glorious now does it ?

Islam doesn't fare much better.

Seems like it is a funny question, but can I throw myself a birthday party? I just moved into a new apartment and want to do it as a open house/housewarming/24th birthday party. Is that strange? I don't want to seem too into myself that I am throwing myself a party. All serious answers are appreciated. . . thanks :)

I often see Christians in here challenging atheists to prove the non existance of god. They see this as a way of proving god does exist. Their logic seems to be this : If you can't prove for sure that god does not exist, well then he must exist !

So, on to my question.

Christians, can you prove non existance of invisible fairies who fly around in the clouds all day ?

I don't want bible verses, or religious stuff, I just want an answer to the above question about the existance of invisible fairies.

.......all about love, peace and acceptance............. until you disagree with them.

Then the hate and threats of hell spew out. Isn't that hypocritical ?

It's a case yes I'll love and accept you........ as long as you believe as I do.

i have seen several churches with advertisement of fall carnivals and celebration (they have to do that) because in reality you can dress up if you want just not in evil attire so is this not the same as secretly celebrating halloween i dont find anything in the bible that specifies THOU SHALT NOT CELEBRATE ALL HALLOWS EVE and only those can accept thats what halloween is for because thats what we were taught the same as christmas we were taught that christmas day is the birth of our lord jesus well since so many calendars changed through the many years how do we know

Why do we have to bend over backwards in the US, France, GB, and other countries where Muslims have made their mark, to suit them and their codes of ethics based on religion? Right now, i am mainly speaking of the US, because we don't tolerate religion in public schools anymore, of any sort. However, Muslims get to slip through the cracks because we are so scared of the backlash if we don't. If a Muslim girl gets suspended from PS122 in Brooklyn for a legit reason, it's all over the news, all over the Muslim world 16 hours later, and next thing you know, five innocent Christian Military contractors in Iraq are taken hostage or slaughtered. That's the usual rundown.

Anyways, we go to their "Islamic" nations, as atheists, Buddhists, Christians, Jews...etc, and oh boy. We are to assimilate or incur the wrath of the Sharia Polizei. God, this is such a massive double standard and injustice that it's sickening. Why? How many missionaries have to die and be held captive in Iran?

I would like to work in microfinance. This is an organisation like the Grameen Bank (just got the Nobel Peace Prize) that lends money to people in developing countries so that they can start their own businesses and improve their quality of life. Can anyone suggest organisations like this in the UK?

Should the Book Of Enoch be included in modern Bibles? It was obviously considered truth by early Christians in that Jude quoted from it (Jude 1:14-15), which he would not have done if it was not an inspired book, either that or the Epistle of Jude should not be included either.
It's not like we don't have the Book of Enoch around today as it still exists from several different manuscripts, and can even be bought (ISBN 091351067X). So why is it not included in modern bibles?
