1) Trinity is taken from [1 John 5:7 (King James Version)], has been used sometimes to prove that Trinity is taught in the Gospels. The verse says: "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost, and these three are one".

2) "Jesus as Son of God" is taken from [John 3:16] has been used to prove that Jesus is Only Son of God. The verse says: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son".

3) "Jesus as God" is taken from [John 10:30] has been used to prove that Jesus is God. The verse says: "I and my Father are one".

Yet, these verses have been removed from the Revised Standard Version of the Bible (RSV) by Christian scholars of the highest eminence backed by cooperating Christian denominations, as it was an interpolation, a later addition to the text of the statement.

Why these verses are not in the RSV Bible ? If then, are Trinity and Jesus as God doctrines still valid ?

I mean, what a stupid religion you guys have!

You don't even believe in God, or an afterlife, or anything supernatural like that! It's silly! How can it be a proper religion if you don't have any of that?!

You atheists might as well NOT HAVE any religion.

The only book you have is The God Delusion, and that isn't a proper religious book, because the bible is thousands of years old, and that makes it a proper religious book. Richard Dawkins wasn't inspired by God to write it, heck, he doesn't even believe in God, so how could it be religious ???

Why don't you guys get a real religion?
Become Christians, which is a real religion.

One final word to all our atheist friends, the christian god is a loving god, join our religion, as your religion has no god, which is silly.

I mean, seriously... What the hell is the point of you people believing in God if you guys don't even beleive in him!?

IT DOESN'T EVEN RESEMBLE A RELIGION!
It's like u people are ANTI RELIGION??

The reason why i'm asking this, its because once i was at Miami Beach and an european old man was just lying on the sand and he knew i was next to him getting my towel and he farted just in front of me, and seriously i had no idea what to do, and then last month the same thing happened when i went on vacation to Cancun in Mexico. Is that allright in some cultures???

At first I thought it was a question of energy efficieny: the church in my hometown is a low, ugly seventies building. But it made me curious, so I've kept an eye out and have since seen dozens of churches without windows. I even saw one where the windows had be bricked in. What's the deal?

Doesn't it annoy you when religous people try to disprove evolution when they know nothing about it. Then, they say where's the proof for evolution. There is a a lot of proof for evolution while there is none for creationism.
Proof:
DNA similarities
Fossil records
Similar and vestigial stuctures
And a lot more..

The sins of the father

ISA 14:21 Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities.

DEU 24:16 The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.

I want to donate clothes so they will go to the needy...
I usd to donate them to goodwill/salvation army, but they really only sell those things.
Whenever I call a hospital, nursing home or a red cross, i get turned down becuase my clothing is a size 0-1, and they want size 10+.
Is there a special place where I can just take my things, or should I give stuff to the needy if I see them?
Thanks

not having a husband or wife allows us to devote to God better. For instance donating money and doing community service. the purpose of life is helping others who are in need.

First of all, I want to say that I know that we are all PART OF THE HUMAN RACE! I also know we should treat people individually; but, to be honest, would you go outside of the "physical identification" you have with a race (caucasin, black, hispanic, asian, etc.)??
this has always been a hard one for me, because I am multi-cultural, heritage speaking... and I identify with no particular "group". so, it has been easy for me to look people individually. but, i do still have my preference.
