I mean...aren't you the ones telling us that "if you go to the barbershop enough times you'll get a haircut"?
I mean you can only tell us so many times we're bad and wrong and going to Hell. I realize for some of you this is your life, so please enjoy this question.

Like how much they disagree with what you've claimed is god's own truth?

You all claim to believe in the same god, book, and holy ghost, and yet none of you can agree.

Who sows the seeds of confusion about christianity, if not the fact you all disagree with -each other-?

I'm in college full time and work as a bank teller part time. Customers ask me all the time how much do I make. Why is this any of their business? Why do people think that its ok to ask me how much money I make? Is it just because I'm young?

Do people ask you how much you make? or will people stop after I graduate from college and have a career?

I could never imagine going to the doctor and saying " By the way Doc, how much money do you make per year"?

Did God not provide a way for salvation through Jesus for everyone? We are sinners, and they are too, how can they not be saved? I know that God does not like the practice of homosexuality, but I am interested in bible passages that state that these people cannot be saved. Thanks

By the way people that are not Christians need not answer this question, it would be pointless.

Care to find the scripture where Jesus told you to turn the other cheek, or make threats, whichever suits you?

Or is this an example of what you call a "fake" christian?

Yes... i should be thankful the thought was there. But for Christmas, birthdays, holidays... everything, both my mom and my aunt have bought me really really bad, impractical gifts. For example... a seatbelt cutter.... a bin full of caribbeaner clips that you can't use for climbing.... hospital lotion....a lamp that you strap to your head.... you get the point. The worst part is that I know they are actually paying a bit of money for some of the things they've gotten me. I live in a small apartment, and i hate to waste..so i get these impractical gifts, when throughout the year there are certain things i would LOVE to get, but don't do so. How do i tactfully say, if you have to spend money on me, please do it for things i will actually enjoy, instead of things i'm going to throw out bc they are useless and taking up space? idon't want to hear about how i sound like a spoiled brat, and shoudl be thankful. just give me a tactful way to approach this...ps.. they start shopping in february

This goes out to all the nonchristians. Christians dont bother. How about we who think the bible is hatred and hogwash start calling the christian god Ego. He seems to have a great big one. In my opinion it fits. So in future questions who is willing to refer to Ego?

Yes, perhape this should be in the Religious section but the otters are better known here.
Living with difficulties, they still manage to share love, wit and wisdom with us. In particular a great generosity of spirit as shown in riverotter7's answer to...........
"If you found the end of a rainbow, what would you like to find ? "

"For you to find the love of your life once again, Dear Friend. I've found mine and I'd give my chance back to you so I knew that you were content."

Greater love hath no one.

I got an email from a christian this morning that left me shaking my head.

In it, he claimed that I was sacrificing my children for the sake of believing in evolution.

His justification for this was Exodus 34.7

And while this stuff goes on............other christians are asking atheists why we have a problem with people believing in the bible.

Isn't it right that I want to protect my kids from this sort of propaganda?

Do these sort of christians really think it will change my stand when they try telling me my children will suffer for my beliefs?

I also got told to ask God for myself if he was real..........hmmm.

Why would I want to ask a question of an imaginary entity that I don't believe in?

Should the guy who sent me the email perhaps pay a visit to a therapist?

I've had tools,nuts, and bolts turn up missing. People think im nuts, but it think something small and humanoid is messing with me. Should i set a trap?

Aren't these verses from the Bible prove that God and Jesus are two different thing?

Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:
John 8:54

And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
Mark 12:29

Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me
John 7:16

And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
Matthew 19:17

NO!

This was written by a friend of mine, just a few moments ago, and he wanted to know everyone's thought...

I'm a true homeboy from the streets,
always looking for my beats.
Well, I've found them in the one at home,
there in everything, I'm not alone.

(((Lovely Love)))
