Please do NOT insult Christianity in any way because if you do so I will report abuse.
Preferably quote some lines from KJV Bible as evidence.

I found an owl on the hood of my car one night and have heard several myths about what that meant. Any insight?

I was numb, because I couldn't hold my breath. I just left right after him ....He did not say anything about my gas noise (not loud) I was standing around him when he was talking on the phone. I felt really embarrased.

I think most Christians are Christians for two reasons.

1. Raised a Christian.
2. Became a Christian as an emotional crutch in the face of adversity.

The third reason, "intellectual oddysey," I would postulate is far less frequently the reason. By that I mean undertaking a comprehensive study of science, philosophy, and literature. Although some, like Lee Strobel, have become Christians in this way, I think it's a low percentage.

I hypothesize that in order to honestly undertake an "intellectual oddysey," one must not fear EITHER position.

That said, I think many fear the consequences of atheism:

1. Family approval
2. Friendships and social networking opportunities
3. Opportunities for dating/marriage
4. Social disapproval based on distrust and perceived lack of morals
5. Psychological turmoil and/or crisis based on concepts of the
afterlife - both for self and loved ones.
6. Suffering for eternity in hell.

How can one give atheism a fair shake with fear?

Hi - I am all for having a day to celebrate the Earth and to remind us that we have a vital interest in preserving it. But, I haven't seen it taken seriously since it first came out back when I was a kid.

Think about It: Whether you believe in God or Not, Christian principles state:

Love your enemies
Do good to those who persecute you
etc. etc. check out the Bible for further details

is Bush an example of hypocrisy?? If so, can you really blame people for becoming athiests when they see hypocritical Christians/religious people who dont even follow the same principles that they seek to impose upon others?

Hi
We all have gone some hardiships in life, but some people more than others, I lost my faith in GOD ,(Even if I think he exists), after way too many harships , I am not going to trouble you telling you my life story , wondered if life was even worth to live. IS ANYONE HERE that after very severe hardships, I MEAN REALLY SEVERE, lost that faith but gained it back and why? I have prayed and prayed but found a deaf GOD, and I am not disrespecting Him, becasue I BELIEVE HE EXIST , it just seems as he does not care.
I ASK please, if you do not have a story ,DO NOT START PREACHING .thank you.

I hear that alot. " Christians are brainwashed ". I rather thought I have been out washing brains... telling them of the Lover...the Beloved... and letting them see the bright and shining faces of Jesus...helping them go with us...walking in His river of spice filled worship...soaking away all pain and negativity from their little brainy souls....

Ever since I can remember as a little girl... I have felt this bright invisible star of spiritual enlightenment in my being...in my belly. As soon as He..Jesus..appeared to me... and some kind of heavenly bliss...and laughter. Anyone got a brain that needs washing ?

Well, at Youth Group(every Tuesday night), we have graffiti boards. We write on them what we're feeling, and what we need help with so people that see the postings(whether you put your name or not) can pray for you. I wrote that I don't think I'm fufilling my purpose in life, and that I don't think I'm trying that hard to either, I asked God if He coul help me along the way? What can I do to become a better Christian? Please, if you're not going to be helpful, don't answer.

In our current society, Evidence and Scientific Thought seem to prevail above instinct and intuition.

Why do you believe in that which you have neither seen nor heard? For what reason do you have faith?

Awake, Zion

Reggae enthusiast and director Monica Haim explores similarities between Judaism and reggae culture, comparing the Star of David to the ancient African six-pointed star and Hasidic earlocks with dreadlocks. This program celebrates music's ability to unite people of all faiths and features reggae artists King Django, Super Dane, and Matisyahu.
