I am an Atheist and I was asked to help out for a fundraiser they are holding for Homeless and drug addicted teens. I really want to help out since I was raised in a group home and I know how it feels not to have anywhere to go. The problem is one fellow has taken it upon himself to "save" me, He lectures me about Jesus Christ and God all day, I have told him that I'm fine with his religion I just do not believe in a higher power. He seems to become angry and frustrated with me and I end up being paired with someone else in the group. Everyone else is fine they are happy that I am helping, Even though he requested I be paired with someone else he still makes it clear to me that I should convert and convert NOW. I still want to help because I believe this is important, I stand out in the snow for 8-9 hours collecting money for these kids. I just need some insight as to what I may say or do to make him give me some space about the issue and physically. Thanks.

It would be like having a girlfriend who is with you for your money? I think God loves those who have faith no matter what religion. remember when God created man he didi not create many religions...we are all from the same place.....I cannot believe that a faithful person can kill another person in the name of God, when the person they killed believes in the same God....ie jewish, christian, or muslim we all believe in God.

If we're born in a Muslim family and didn't question, we would be CERTAIN that the Koran was 100% correct and Islam was the truth. When we're in a Christian society/family and taught similarly, we are CONVINCED that Christianity is true. Some Muslims are SO sure that they willingly blow themselves up. If that's not faith, then I don't know what it is. But faith doesn't change reality. So who's right?

Has anyone else heard that? Does that sound right? Seems awfully young to me, but is there any scripture I'm missing that could elaborate? Please don't give mean answers.:o]

I've heard this frequently this time of year, so much that it gets in the news about schools cancelling Halloween, people having Hell Houses instead of Haunted Houses, and churches having religious alternatives to Halloween parties. I've heard lots of devout Christians say they consider Halloween evil, demonic, and "the Devil's holiday", but never any real answer as to why.

I can't see anything satanic about Halloween myself, even went trick-or-treating as a kid back when I was still a Lutheran. Actually, I seem to recall my church having halloween parties for us kids with games and pinatas sort of thing.

Can anyone explain the reasoning behind this without using "it's the Devil's holiday" or that it's a Pagan holiday? Just because it's derived from a non-Christian religion, doesn't mean it's an "evil" holiday, so that's not a good enough answer.

Bible quotations are welcome so I can look them up for cross-referencing. And please be respectful! I look forward to your answers. :)

I understand we help starving countries and send medical help and I am all for that, but why don't they also put women on birth control?

This was written earlier this morning. Talk about holier than thou. How does it make you feel? Is it any wonder that so many atheists are ex-Christians?


"Fellow Christians!!! isn't it time to impose God's Eternal Laws?
Fake-Christians try to nullify laws eternally given by Jesus in Old Testament. Jesus broadened the Laws in the New Covenant--never nullified them. He was even stricter and said that our righteousness must surpass the Heathen Jews.He clearly said in John 10:35 that the Laws cannot be changed. But nowadays the Devil deceived a lots of Christians to think that they are above the Law and needn't impose them."

Coming from Australia, we don't celebrate halloween, but I have some questions for everyone that does.
Why do you celebrate it each year - How did it start?
Do you have a public holiday on halloween?
Is it considered rude if you don't give out candy when the children knock at the door?
Did you dress up as a child for halloween, and if so what was the best costume you ever had?

Is it bad to be a christian and go to Halloween parties and go trick or treating? I'm not celebrating the devil, just a little fun for the kids. Watch scary movies, eat candy and stay up all night. What do you think?

businesses like the Oil and motor business that resist change at all costs? If people don't tackle the major cause of global warming then what is the point of these petty things? GET REAL people, these petty things are just distracting society from the real problem!
