I mean in my opinion wrong with like the jokes involving race but some people read into it as if it were the bible and the truth. Like this guy came to my school and talked about self worth and stuff. He imitated this girl being made fun of cause she was indian and they told her "7-11 on the dot" and no one in my school knew that joke. And now everyone says it. I dont mind the guys saying it cause he was making a point but everyone takes it too an extreme!

Is it just me, or does it seem atheists are trying to take God out of everything? This country was founded by the Christian faith, now they are trying to take His name out of the Pledge of Allegiance.
This question is for serious christians, if you don't believe in God, or you just wanna get on here with dumb jokes about God just to be funny don't answer, if you don't like it, why even waste your time answering me?

Why is it that some people refer to God as God, and others refer to Him as Father?

Does not one show Religion, and the other show Relationship?

Is the concept of Davy Jones cutting out his heart and living forever folklore / mythology or was it made up by the Pirates of the Caribbean movies? Can anyone direct me to learn more about Davy Jones somewhere other than Wikipedia?

I was driving down the freeway today and the car in front of me had two bumper stickers, one on top of the other. The top one said "I love my German Shepherd!" and the bottom one said "Pope Benedict XVI"

The car was in front of me for a couple minutes in the freeway traffic and got off at my offramp. I thought that the bumper sticker combination was interesting. I ran my errands and, 20 minutes later, was returning to my office when the same car moved ahead of me into my lane, got onto the freeway and got off at the same offramp.

Coincidence? I THINK NOT!! So does it all mean? German Shepherds? The Pope? Is he leading the sheep? Is this a message from up on high?

i have to know! why people diss the bible like its ALL trash. i understand that some parts of the bible can seem very hypocritical to the non christian. thats fine. i also understand that some part of the bible are completely outragious to the non christian. that fine too. but can you at leasst admit that there is alot of wisdom in the bible. look at the book of proverbs. "money is the root of all evil" where do you think that came from? its from the bible as well as many other wise saying. And then there is jesus. dont diss him either! i never once read something where jesus said to kill someone! in fact he said dont stone the women who commited adultry. Jesus was the bigest liberal of his time! I can understand not believing he is the son of god but why treat him like his is all evil.

For example:

Sunday worship - comes from paganism as the day was for worshipping the 'sun god'. The bible says to set aside the Sabbath day and rest and assemble together which is completely ignored.

Trinity- This idea that God is 'three persons in one' is pagan. The word trinity is not even mentioned in the Bible and God says over and over that He is one God and there is no other besides Him.

Christmas, Easter- Instead of celebrating the festivals of God like Passsover and Unleaved Bread, you opt for Dec. 25 - a day that was considered the birth of the 'sun god' b/c of the Winter Solstice and you celebrate "Easter" which name comes from a pagan goddess.

I could go on but I will leave it like this for now.

Without a "higher power" what would have catalyzed the creation of the Universe and all the complex systems within it? The Big Bang, Evolution and Religion are all beliefs not fact. Don't get me wrong, I am not trying poke fun at Atheism or Religion. I use the term "higher power" because God(s) have yet to be proven or disproved, however there is a significant amount of evidence that there is something that breathes life into the Universe.

So what is this, what started the Universe and the complex systems within it?

I am post-op ts m-f and always wanted to be female. Yes I did it years ago and I am quite happy with it, but I have missed out on so much, what I am is a copy and could never have children or anything like that. I answer questions on here advising about the subject but I feel so sad because I am not a true woman. I truly would loved to have had a child.

Like instead of money being spent to house pastors wouldn't the tithing go toward building a safe refuge for Christians durring the tribulation, if all Christians believe in Post Tribulation Rapture? I think Evangellist just want members to believe in Pre-tribulation rapture so they can take the money for themselves by decieving members that they'll be safe in heaven durring the tribulation.
