"The great trouble is that the preachers get the children from six to seven years of age and then it is almost impossible to do anything with them."
— Thomas Edison, (1847-1931)

Just think of the tragedy of teaching children not to doubt.
— Clarence Darrow

It is an interesting and demonstrable fact, that all children are atheists and were religion not inculcated into their minds, they would remain so.

Я прошёл все дороги
Я тебя искал так долго
Ты, холода и тревоги
Вдруг развеяла и я цветы

Только мне их подари
Для тебя лишь только я сгораю
Знаю сердце моё расстает,
Тает, тает

Припев:
Я знаю, ты далеко
Между нами города, города
Я с тобою навсегда, навсегда
Ты единственная любовь моя

Я знаю, ты далеко
Между нами города, города
Я с тобою навсегда, навсегда
Навсегда, навсегда - любовь моя

Навсегда, навсегда(навсегда, навсегда)
Навсегда, навсегда(навсегда...)

Сколько дней пролетело
Мы не виделтсь с тобою век
Знаю, сердце хотело
Чтобы выпал первый, первый снег

Я тебе его дарю
Для тебя лишь только я сгораю
Знаю сердце моё расстает,
Тает, тает

While reading several answers to some of my earlier questions I've noticed that a number of Christians & non-Christians alike use the terminology, 'true christian.' So, in light of the darkness... what is a "true" christian?

If you reference scripture, do so as a 'reference' to make your point. Do not answer the question using only a scripture.

"Is uniformity attainable? Millions of innocent men, women, and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined, imprisoned; yet we have not advanced one inch towards uniformity. What has been the effect of coercion? To make one half the world fools and the other half hypocrites. To support roguery and error all over the earth."(Thomas Jefferson, Notes on Virginia, 1782; from George Seldes, ed., The Great Quotations, Secaucus, New Jersey: Citadel Press, 1983, p. 363.)

"I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish church, by the Roman church, by the Greek church, by the Protestant church, nor by any church that I know of. My own mind is my church. " Thomas Paine

Being that Independence Day was yesterday, it got me thinking... I am so thankful that we (American's) actually have the right to believe what we choose to believe. While ppl are giving their lives so we can have Freedom of Religion, we sit here and try to take that away from eachother, bashing eachothers beliefs/or lack there of.Instead, lets be thankful..We don't have a religion forced upon us by the Government and are killed if we don't abide...I am sincerly grateful that there are people that are willing to fight for our Freedom. If you have any friends,family,or loved ones that are in the Military..I say thank you! And May God Bless... (no offense ment by that.) Just my form of appreciation...

Arent you thankful?...

Let me be more specific. When driving through various parking lots quite often someone will want to pass in front of my automobile and while thats not the problem. Its those folk who adhere to the "Pedestrian Has the Right of Way" doctrine a bit too much. So much so that they barely pay my several thousand pound automobile any mind, not looking both way before crossing the street and then have the sense to move s l o w l y across the street...deliberately slow as though to say "Screw You." Now this breech of the "You don't do anything stupid and I won't run you down with my vehicle" agreement betweeen peds and drivers...does that apply to these circumstances? I am not speaking of those people with obvious disabilites am talking about those morons who go out of their way to make you wait for them to cross the street at such a slow pace as to think that snails might rush ahead of them. Do they deserve to be crushed?

Say a person asked jesus into his or hear heart, asked him to guide and follow all the years of his or her life. tried her best to live and serve him. Kept the truth to a loved one, but then lied to the loved one . Lived with that loved one, married that loved one, was happy with that loved one. then dies, and never told the loved one that she lied to them, but she told jesus and asked him to forgive her for that lie. will God have forgiven her and taken her into his kingdom or since she never told the loved one on earth the truth, will she be succumbed to hell?

I for one feel like it's robbing people of the freedom of choice, which is not the way we should be doing things, it it now? Someone here mentioned 'smoking' and 'non-smoking' sections in public places, as restaurants, coffee shops, etc., - great idea! :-)
Here in Asia, the smoking ban has been taken to new heights, especially Singapore, where one is not allowed to even smoke sitting outside MacDonalds or Burger King......

Aside from the extreme fundamentalists, the average theist has, over the centuries, willingly accepted more and more scientific explanations for things that were once ascribed to god.

For example, at one time theists had unwaivering faith...

That you had to be buried with gold, silver and precious gems to buy entry into the afterlife.

That god created the earth at the center of the universe.

That sickness was a form of punishment for lack of faith.

That god deliberately made some people inferior to others.

How do theists explain the loss of faith in these divine beliefs? Was it logic overcoming irrationality, or peer pressure, or exposure to knowledge? Isn't faith supposed to be absolute and unchanging?

If theists continue this pattern of abandoning divine explanations for things, won't they eventually think god right of a job?

I am African-American I am in school working on a computer networking degree right now, even though I don't look, dress, act, or talk like a stereotype some people may think of, my friends always insist on making racist jokes. It gets EXTREMELY irritating. I have even gone as far as pulling one of them aside and saying come on man can you guys go easy on that. And as ALL men know asking guys to stop making fun of you will only lead to worse things. I understand its all comedy but even when I try to make a joke back (which I don't enjoy doing) they take it personally, and get angry. What should I do??!!
