Their lives are defined by those things they are against and/or hate.
They even use the word "hate" in their pithy little saying "hate this sin, etc..."
hate hate hate
What's happened to you guys?

What happened to the power to act in God's name under the authority of Christ after the crucifixion and after all the apostles were killed?

I don't think that exists. They don't want to learn how you think, they just want to learn ways to attack you - I guess they don't know that its all been done before. How else is it that I see the same circular line of questioning in here from so-called theists? It IS CIRCULAR theists, and you know who you are... Surely you have begun to understand how your intellect falls short of understanding by now...

If the definition of intelligence is the ability to learn new things, what is its opposite? The inability to learn new things?

I've been a Christian for just over a year now, and I've always wanted to ask...is gambling a sin and why? If gambling _is_ a sin, then is Bingo considered gambling?

I'm asking because I enjoy watching "National Bingo Night", I think it's a fun show, but I am also interested in participating. I was going to print up some Bingo cards for this week's show, but I thought I'd better ask this question first. I don't want to do something that my heavenly Father would be offended by.

Please provide Scripture if you would. Thanks.

I haven't, but when i was small I used to have many demonic dreams. Like I would go outside and hear a strongly demonic noise, and then in my dream, I either can't move, can't breath, can't talk, or sometimes it just strikes me with fear stronger than anything on this world. Please tell me your stories about sightings or contact with anything that you suppose could be or is a demon!

atheists, non-christians, honestly, why do you think your loved ones, boyfriends, girlfriends, mates, parents, friends, relatives, tell you about Jesus Christ and pray for you?

and honestly, do you think they will be telling you a lie to believe in te goodness of God?

if you believed in God, and experienced his grace and mercy would you ever not believe?

i can understand if you never believed in God. but if you did, could you ever just stop, or would there always be something still there?

even if you think the bible is full of mistakes, or the church is full of liars...

Okay, a question for all those who think we evolved from apes... What did the apes evolve from? And for that matter, what did all the dinosaurs evolve from?

It amazes me that these people undermine our dignity as a species by wrongly saying that our abilties as a species are all down to some non-existent supernatural being. I reject the idea that children are born evil.
