Answer this honestly because eventhough I respect everyone's beliefs I would love the world to be Atheist (Not commumist but educated Atheist)

Wasn't there a time when all of Europe was Christian? Wasn't that time period called the dark ages where there were still wars, crime and "sin".

So do Christians want everyone in the world to be Christian?

Most scientists are not religious. Does science give people a method of seeing what is really true and what isn't, ie truth is based on evidence, not faith.

Several weeks ago, while I was walking home from the local park I was attacked by a rather large two-legged dog like creature. I managed to somehow fend it off, but after that I lossed alot of blood and I was covered with bite marks and scratches. The hospital was too far for me to go to on foot, so I ran to my apartment to call 911, but before I could even reach the phone I blacked out. The next day I awoke to find that all my wounds were healed up as if nothing happened. My clothes were still in the same state as yesterday so I guess it wasn't a dream. I decided to just go about my business and forget this ever happened. A couple of weeks later I found myself naked lying behind a couple of boxes near the nearbye ally. My mouth dripped with blood and my body felt all tingly. I'm not sure whats going on, but I don't want this to happen again so please, help me find a cure

I am the only Atheist in my Christian family of five, should I celebrate Christmas with them? None of my other friends, so it's not like I could go to an Atheist party or anything like that. Also, is there any specific holiday only for Atheists? I feel left out!

It actually says "If your right eye offend you, pluck it out, and cast it from you".

Therefore if your brain commits sin, (by working and showing you that religion is nonsense), should you pluck your brain out, throw it away, and become a christian?

See my friend, religion is not like a football team or a political party... us vrs. them.

Religion is a vision to help us realize we are all one family under God.

I say you can't join my religion because I already consider you a member.

The tendency of the materially conditioned mind is to hanker after distinction. We want to differentiate ourselves and see ourselves as unique and different, like a couple embracing in Lover's Park. They think they are the only two people in love in the universe, yet if they look over their shoulder they will see 100 other couples doing the exact same thing they are doing.

When you do an impartial evaluation of all the major world religions you won't find much essential difference between them. They basically follow the same principles, yet differ in the details.

We should not get hung up on details but should see the essence. Every religion has value because it instills values within its followers to respect others, love, tolerate...

When tragedy strikes, a flood, a plane crash, do you blame the Devil? or credit God? or is it just an unfortunate coincidence?

A lot of people say learning a foreign language helps you compete in the corporate world. In particular, Arabic, Chinese and Spanish are supposed to be the important langauges that will be in high demand over the next decades. Now I'm skeptical of this because the most educated people in other countries learn English, and you could be doing something else with your time. But is there something I'm overlooking? Have YOU PERSONALLY benifetted from learning a foriegn language, and if so, how?

Saul/Paul had set out initially to subvert Jesus’ teachings. Later he used his new doctrines to undermine the power of the Jewish church as well as the defied Roman Emperor. Paul sought to torpedo Judaism in its calcified form, its narrow interpretation of the Judaic law. He steered Christ’s teachings away from monotheism and from the Jews, (the lost sheep of Israel) and directed these teachings in a corrupted form to Non-Jews…As Jesus had not succeeded during his mission in converting the majority of his Jewish brothers and sister to his divinely inspired interpretations of Judaism, Paul ensured that after Jesus had departed, that Jews would not be temped to follow Jesus’ Teachings. To this end, Paul so adulterated Jesus’ life, purpose, mission and claims to make the new dogma (Paul’s version of Jesus’ teachings) repugnant to the Jews.

ok so, if you live somewhere for 30 years performing miracles, even without tv, you'd be famous as hell. so why did the people who knew him most kill him? even faith healers who dont broadcast their sessions have tons of people waiting outside their homes in just a matter of months... compare that to 30 years of miracles... not just faith miracles. physical miracles...(which i dont believe is possible anyway)

can god do stuff against the free will of people to love jesus and make them hate him just for his stupid prophecy.... just like "i will harden the pharaoh's heart"?

or were they under the control of the puppet strings of the writer/s which i bet arent under the influence of a higher being(sounds like a drug lol)
