Or should the Christian know that I'm just being a good samaritan by "reminding them"?

We all have the rite to believe in what we want, just because we are not all christian it does not make us or our religion evil.

Christians say you will go to hell if you are not christian, but arn't they braking one of thier 10 commandments. "You must not give false evidence against your neighbour". number 9.

This is what the christians have done to pagan and other
religions, saying that we are all evil that we worship the devil and stuff over thousands of years. THIS IS NOT TRUE!!!

I moved a year and half ago from my Moms apartment building, i was just visiting and ran into a neighbour i havent seen since i moved, he acted like he saw the living dead.. said how are u doing.. I just said good and said how cute his new dog is and pet it. asked about what type of dog it is, then said see u later..

He didnt talk much and i feel its none of his business or anyone elses since im living with my boyfriend,, you know how people gossip in neighborhoods. my Mom says its none of anyones business..

Last time i visited this lady saw me and first thing she says is "you move, havent seen u in ages". i just smiled and walked quickly inside.. thought she was brazen...
what do u think?

Why are people being so mean to me for asking questions in pure honesty? I don't want to say christains either because some have been very nice and understanding of my youthful curiosity.

But some of you....how can you say you are passing on the word of god when you ridicule questions, promote hate, and turn your back on a different part of the world?

I am not a Christian, obviously, but there are many other young like me who recieve mixed messages about your doctrine when the Bible, as well as so many preach goodness. Yet, there are so many hypocrits who would be served well by living by their own "supposed" doctrine.

Instead of committing and repenting for sin, why not try to eliminate it all forever.

"All humans sin......"

Yeah, you are probably right, but that is only because no one has made it through life without sinning before....

Why accept mediocricy? Why be the helpless creatures that ate the apple so many years ago? God gave you free will! Use it!!!

if they know god and all that they say how is it possible their attitude is so different from what they preach???
(if i am generalizing and you feel "offended" because you dont think you belong to the generalization.....is really your problem, if you think you dont belong to the generalization just ignore)

I'm meeting my boyfriend' of seven months mom and dad for the first time. They are coming to Oregon from Arizona. We are going to meet at a restaurant. Isn't it appropriate to bring something for his mum, and if so, what's appropriate considering she's away from home for six weeks? I would love any advice.

It is in fact THE most important spiritual issue of our day.
How can anyone say that the future of our planet and humanity is NOT a spiritual issue?

If the universe is so complex, why the only explanation is that the Christian God created it and not Alah, aliens or any other source of supernatural powers? Obviously this question is for Christians

First, forgive me if I sound like a christian newbie, but there is an extreme need for more people to embrace nature and life on this planet, and this need does have a deadline, after which the planet will be tipped into a disastrous future.

How do you approach issues like global warming and the destruction of forests and the extinction of species without trying to convince people to adopt a more pagan attitude towards the world and our place in it?

Do you think Jesus might have been aborted? There wouldn't be any Christions yet of course. So abortion might be even more prevalent than it is now.

Numbers 22

27 When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD, she lay down under Balaam; so Balaam was angry and struck the donkey with his stick. 28 And the LORD opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, "What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?" 29 Then Balaam said to the donkey, "Because you have made a mockery of me! If there had been a sword in my hand, I would have killed you by now." 30 The donkey said to Balaam, "Am I not your donkey on which you have ridden all your life to this day? Have I ever been accustomed to do so to you?" And he said, "No."

So basically, YHWH gave the donkey the ability to speak. So either he gave it intelligence too or spoke through the donkey.

I think the Catholic church should be obolished for its terrible sins against the children. Why do ppl still go to Mass after the priests raped the kids? True, not all priests are guilty, but why would one take the risk? The fact that one priest is guilty is enough to forever destroy the so called image of moral authority in my view. These alleged representatives of god, and there have way more than one, hundreds in fact, who hide behind god, and f*ck our kids, sully the entire image of the church.

Why did Jesus say this? Hate is a strong word and opposite of his message of love

So, an african baby is born in Zimbabwe. She grows up to be a hunter-gatherer, spends her days picking grapes. At night she comes home and lovingly raises her family. She takes care of the town ill, and never hurt anybody.

Now of course, she has never sinned--with one exception. Obviously, she has never heard the name Jesus Christ before, and has no mental conept of god. Therefore, she has "sinned."

How can someone like this go to hell?
