Society & Culture - 30 December 2006

I am new to this site and I am amazed at the amount of anger and disrespect aimed towards christians in general. I have read many of the answers, posted by non-believers, and I am astonished at the anger and ignorance. I have never forced my religion on anyone, nor have I ever looked down upon anyone for not being a believer. I want the same respect you do and prob the same things. Yes I believe in the bible and I believe in love and forgiveness. Am I perfect? No. Do I expect others to be perfect? No. I know there are bad apples in every part of society, christian, muslim, whatever. Why are christians picked on so much? Is it fear? Or is it because you have not found anyone that will stand up and say something? I am curious, I just do not understand the anger.

I seem to notice that there is a connection between the two, but yet there seems to also be a distinction between the two as well. Could someone explain this to me?

Imagine this ape walking upright. It would look a helluva lot like a homo sapien. Why would "God" make apes look so much like humans and give us all the other evidence for evolution if he wanted us to believe the Adam and Eve story? www.godisimaginary.com

Do you think it's better to save or to spend? I mean, if, for example, you win $100 in a contest, is it better to spend it on what you want or save it for an emergency?

I was reminded of a dedicated and courageous people. In the movie they said that you once were great. And so you were.Science , mathematics , architecture , medecine , astronomy , You were premier in the world. It seems that you allowed fundamentalism to cause serious regression to occur. Your Christian and Jewish brothers have moved ahead , please join us.

In a few hundred years Christianity, along with all other current world religions, will be laughed at by school children and all of it's followers will be dead. www.godisimaginary.com

I live in Utah, and I've been surrounded by Mormons my whole life. I'm thinking of looking into their church more. Does anyone have information on the Mormons? By the way, I'd love REAL information, not just opinion. Thanks.....

Too much fake, not enough real, and no-one wants to do anything about it. The church folks are afraid, thinking "Don't touch 'the LORD's annointed' "-- a reference to King David's words about King Saul. What preachers, these days, were ordained by a PROVEN prophet of GOD instead of deciding, themselves, (even if "prayerfully"), to enter the ministry? Think, all Israel knew that Samuel's words didn't "fall to the ground" & that whatever he said actually came true. GOD even told the people to not fear prophets who prophesied and it didn't come true, since such a prophet was not sent by HIM. The new testament(NT) teaches to discern whether an utterance is from GOD or not. This seems to rarely be done in modern churches. Also, other things modern churches decline to do that are taught in the NT, but too many are ignoring these as they find them difficult or inconvenient and prefer to fuss about things not even taught. They argue over manmade doctrines & imagined intent.

There are more stars in the sky(70,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 approximately), there are more stars in the sky than there are grains of sand in every beach in the world. Its mind blowing. How can someone try and fathom this, how can anyone seriously think that these stars just appeared without a Creator? Scripture says that God spread out these stars across the sky with His hand. Isnt our God an awesome God? To deny God is to be a fool.
