Today I have read answers from people who feel that Christians who are being imprisoned, tortured and murdered in many parts of the world deserve this because of the actions of false Christians during medieval times and the Spanish inquisition. This is not a "persecution complex" as a person announced to me once.Go to the Voice of the Martyrs website and learn the truth for yourself.People actually condone the torture of Christians and claim it's because we hate Muslims or they use some other excuse.I don't hate anyone. I was not involved with any of the atrocities committed by false Christians during medieval times and neither were any of the other Christians I know. Satan has used false Christians to deceive the world into hating those who truly follow Jesus and the world blindly accepts the idea that Christians are hatemongers. When I speak to the hard core God haters about the love of Jesus I am treated with nothing but contempt and I still care and pray for them. This is not hate.

Ok well like lots of kids in the summer, I want to make some money. But I am not old enough to get a part job somewhere. My Catholic School does a Summer Tutoring Program. It is available to any boys and girls of any school (1st to 8th grade) and goes every Monday to Friday for about 8 hours a day from June 25 to August 3 (our summer vacation is from June 24 to August 6). That means I will be at school tutoring 27 of my 42 days of summer break (we get July 3-5 off). That's about 216 hours of my summer. I get paid $6 an hour (I know it's below minimum). After doing the math, I can make $1,296 in this short summer. Since you have to meet certain criteria to be eligible to tutor, all my closest friends will not be doing this. Not a lot of people I know or hang out with will be doing this. But another major downside to this is we will have to wear our school uniforms to the tutoring sessions. So that means over half the summer, I will have to wear my school uniform. The

During all of Europe's and America's wars, every country seems to have claimed the side of righteousnouss and that the other side is evil. So even when all combatants are Christians, are the losers condemned to hell?

Many writtings and people often give God humanlike qualities, traits, characteristics and perceptions.

What if God is none of these things?

Would that change a lot of peoples beliefs in the existance of God?

As a non-religious agnostic, many times in a day...at work, at school, out shopping I am reminded by the words & actions of others that most people in the United States believe that I am either:
1) a nonbelieving heretic who is on my way to hell, even though I treat people with respect, and am kind & do good deeds.
2) only need to have my mind "opened" by the doctrine & dogma of their belief system, and be saved.

I don't feel as if I'm going to hell, or that I have anything to be saved from.

"Pursuit implies humility, acceptance, openness, and appreciation, while possession suggests arrogance, close mindedness, and lack of appreciation. Herein lies the rub: if we persist in competing to possess the truth instead of working in unity to pursue it, we are going to face untold grief-and worse, violence." - Arun Gandhi

I can't stand people who lack tact. Especially people who are tactless in their insults. You know what I am talking about, those people who subtly insult you and not think twice about what they said. Sheesh, some people need to learn some manners. Idiots.
