...but I love down syndrome people. I wouldn't like to put them in a concentration camp and have them exterminated, for example. Ridicule them for not being math boffs, I would class that as abuse.

Why, if atheists and agnostics or whomever, don't believe in Christianity, do they insist on responding to questions directed to those who DO believe? Typically, their responses are demeaning and hateful and I just don't understand it. The same would apply to Christians responding to non-Christians. If it doesn't apply to us why not leave it alone? There's no reason to be caustic with people who don't think the same. No wonder there have been so many "holy" wars.

Is anyone else tired of the continual use of the word 'homosexual' to describe people? It is old language that I find to be very clinical, and just a bit pathological. Do you agree that 'gay' is more appropriate in referrence to people reserving 'homosexual' for discussing sexual orientation in isolation?

i dont think God want us to fear him. II believe he is all love and i find it absurd that he would be planning on the destruction of the world. I think that religion in general put fear on us so that would buy into anything they tell us in order to save our souls. I dont think i have to go to church to tell someone my sins if i dont even know that person. Yet i feel very close to the one. Why would i fear God then? i'm a sinner yes but i dont regret anything i dont think im evil i havent harm anyone and i love everything and everybody in this world. If i were as to give my life for this world i would. Yet i'm still a sinner that should fear God and go to a building to hear someone elses point of view? why do we buy into everything they say ? how many people go to church because they truly like it ? i dont think many. i think most people go for fear looking for a magic pass to salvation. Other just go because of routine. What about me then? i dont fear god because i know he is all love.

I played "Lucifer" backwards and it said Murder, 666. No kidding!!
Then someone told me that when he speaks of the name "Hova" as himself, that's blasphemy. And if any knows the bible, that's the worst sin besides killing yourself. Also, if your obsessed with something, its like your praising it. And I see so many people chant "Hova" and throwing up the Roc sign like he's a God. Im a Jay-Z fan, but not to the extent to think he's God. He is just a human being like the rest of us. Do you think that we praise him too much and put him on this pedistool?

In capitalism, the more choices available means that more people get what they want or need. However, if you convince people feel like a competing product is badly flawed, they're more likely to come back and buy your product.

(If you tell someone that one dictionary misspells words, they may be convinced to buy your dictionary instead. If you tell someone that another religion [or lack of religion] contains flawed truth, maybe they'll join your group.)

Are religions engaging in sophisticated marketing and negative campaigning in order to secure a bigger bite of the market?

How do you justify your belief that killing is wrong?

If there is no God, there is no absolute standard for right and wrong. If there is no divine decree of "Thou shalt not murder", then on what basis do you condemn murder? Why don't you celebrate murder as Evolution's method of eliminating the weak?

So if "religion kills", so what? What makes killing wrong? What is your basis for your judgment?

You have to borrow the morality of religion in order to attack religion!

We are all human and God gave us a mind, the same brain. but Christians don't wanna admit that their belief is not acceptable by the brain that God gave us.
our brain is from the best thing that God gave us and created in this univers.
Also we don't forget the heart, where we feel everything
If God came in the flesh, so who was in control of this univers?
If you come in a car, don't tell me that you still at home also.
if so there is 2 bodies not one in the car and one at home.
the same thing for God, if you claim that he is in the flesh, so nobody is in control in heaven.
so God is still one.
If God is the father and Jesus is the son!!!!, a human son ?
I still didn't see an apple tree giving bananas.
and God still in need of no son, no familly, because he is God he is capable to do whatever he wants from above his throne.

If Christians are wrong, they have lost nothing.

If you (in your current spiritual condition) are wrong, well, you know.

So why not, just to be safe, join us?

I said a prayer for you, and we'll see what happens.
