If so, that would make him a demi-god, like Hercules, and he can't be part of the trinity.

If not, that would mean that there has to be a female deity, who's probably pretty pissed at being ignored for so long.

I am currently going to college. I have heard Republicans say that "Liberals have hijacked the Universities and have infected them with their Godless Liberal beliefs." I haven't seen any of this. When I go to class, the teachers teach their subjects. Then you go home. That's it. I have never been in a class lecture and heard anything like "The hydrogen atom bonds with the oxygen atom to make water, oh and buy the way, God doesn't exist." I haven't even heard the word politics even mentioned in the 2 years that I have attended college. You go to college to train for a job. The whole purpose of education is to train you for a future job. Not give you Bible lessons. I think republicans need to get a life and start going to college. It's not the liberals fault that not enough Republicans go to college to push their theistic beliefs on campus.

We Christians believe we are to spread the word and lead people to Christ. Pretend I have come to you and asked you how to be an atheist or more precisely what I should believe if I were an atheist.
Please be specific as possible about what to believe and why to believe it.
If we could keep this on the up and up that would be nice too.

Okay, so I was on Wikipedia and looked up my birthday, September 29th. Under births it said that Jesus was most likely born on that day. I took me a while to make the [dis]connection but I soon became aware of Christmas, which is not September 29th, but still manages to pertain itself as the day of the birth of Christ. So, which is right? I've checked both the Wiki on Jesus and on Christmas and their are no reports that even mention the month of September. So, I'm pretty confused. Any thoughts?

I was talking to a catholic and I asked him, " do you believe when you die you will go to heaven?" He replied, "yes" I said "why?" And he answered that He is a good person. So I told him that is not how you are saved. God said I am the way the truth and the life no man shall go to the Father except by me. Also, Eph: 2 8:9 then there's another quote about your works are like filthy rags can you guys give me Passages about how we are saved? And that we can't do it only Christ himself has that power to save us. Please! I can't remember all of them.

To us today, science is advanced, and is advancing by the second. To people in the 1700s, science was advanced enough to tell them that baths were unhygienic. So how is it that we can, using science, disprove religion and the supernatural, without being open-minded to the possibility that perhaps our science hasn't caught up to those myths yet? Just looking for musings here.

A couple days ago I asked a few questions. if you want to see them take a look at my profile. I asked if you believed in life in other planets.. most of you thought it was very likely. I asked if you believed these aliens visted us and helped ancient civilazations ie built the pyramids, higher mathmatics. Again most felt that this was likely ..not as likely as the first question i asked but still many believed in this. I then asked about the human brain, having higher powers ie Telekinesis. Many of you felt this was unlikely but were open to the idea of it being possible, and others outright believed it to be possible, My last question was about an afterlife..not heaven but some sort of existence after death. Again most answered it was unlikely or just not so. But a few answered that it was possible Talking about energy being released and existing in another form. All these are not proven, some things are outright fanciful. Yet you were open to the possibility..

So why not God?

Do give credit to man and Satan for all that is negative, bad or evil in this world is to sell your God short. To say that is to say that God didn't create the world knowing that this negativity would be produced. But since God is all knowing we can only come to the conclusion that God in fact did create this world, with all dieases, all the wars, all the greed, and jealousy, and hatred on purpose.

Either bad things happen because God designed it as so, God isn't all powerful, or God doesn't exist.

So as we clearly see the only way you can blame Satan for anything is if God isn't all powerful, and the only way you can blame man is if God doesn't exist. Otherwise anything that happens can only be part of God's plan, or God doesn't have 100% control.

So stop blaming man, or Satan if you believe in an omnipotent God.

For the misunderstanding of my last question? I wasn't trying to pass judgement on anybody at all but some of you took it that way. All I wanted was to gain insight into your thoughts but instead some of you chastised me. But I would like to apologize anyway and I hope all is well and good.

They were carried to their graves, not riding themselves, and were placed in them but not of their own accord. It seems as if they never lived in this world and as if the next world had always been their abode. They have made lonely the place where they were living, and are now living where they used to feel lonely. They remained busy about what they had to leave, and did not care for where they were to go. Now they cannot remove themselves from evil, nor add to their virtues They were attached to the world and it deceived them. They trusted it and it overturned them.

Isn't there enough light for one who wants to see ?

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Jesus did read the hearts of the Pharisees and tell all about them.
Rev.1:3;
Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.

By the time the world has the bible [ as the word of God or 2Tim.2:15; word of truth ], in circulation with all the translations the world needs, will it be the end time or the time [ to know it ], is at hand?
John 12:47,48; and Philip.2:5,9-12; Is it important to know the bible?
