How can I when I work at a place that is haunted and does not have a good feeling around it.

No, this isn't a joke. I'm interested in genuine responses from people who claim that God communicates with them.

If you don't know me, then insert anyone else.

But if I just up and left and never answered again, would you wonder about me?
Would you worry? Would you look for me?
Would you pray for me?

I remember about ten to fifteen years ago the atheist organization was planning on building their first church in California.

I always wondered what they were planning on doing there, I guess it would be like a union hall for the atheist organization.

You know, i could do the same with the bible, and make it sound violent, but it wont be valid, because its out of context

Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the LORD your God must be put to death. Such evil must be purged from Israel. (Deuteronomy 17:12 NLT)
Death to Followers of Other Religions

Whoever sacrifices to any god, except the Lord alone, shall be doomed. (Exodus 22:19 NAB)



Kill Nonbelievers

They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul; and everyone who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. (2 Chronicles 15:12-13 NAB)

Kill Followers of Other Religions.

1) If your own full brother, or your son or daughter, or your beloved wife, or you intimate friend, entices you secretly to serve other gods, whom you and your fathers have not known, gods of any other nations, near at hand or far away, from one end of the earth to the other: do not yield to him or listen to him, nor look with pity upon him, to spare or shield him, but kill him. Your hand shall be the first raised to slay him; the rest of the people shall join in with you. You shall stone him to death, because he sought to lead you astray from the Lord, your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that place of slavery. And all Israel, hearing of this, shall fear and never do such evil as this in your midst. (Deuteronomy 13:7-12 NAB)



2) Suppose a man or woman among you, in one of your towns that the LORD your God is giving you, has done evil in the sight of the LORD your God and has violated the covenant by serving other gods or by worshiping the sun, the moon, or any of the forces of heaven, which I have strictly forbidden. When you hear about it, investigate the matter thoroughly. If it is true that this detestable thing has been done in Israel, then that man or woman must be taken to the gates of the town and stoned to death. (Deuteronomy 17:2-5 NLT)
The following passage shows that slaves are clearly property to be bought and sold like livestock.



However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way. (Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT)
God Will Kill Ethiopia



"You Ethiopians will also be slaughtered by my sword," says the LORD. And the LORD will strike the lands of the north with his fist. He will destroy Assyria and make its great capital, Nineveh, a desolate wasteland, parched like a desert. The city that once was so proud will become a pasture for sheep and cattle. All sorts of wild animals will settle there. Owls of many kinds will live among the ruins of its palaces, hooting from the gaping windows. Rubble will block all the doorways, and the cedar paneling will lie open to the wind and weather. This is the fate of that boisterous city, once so secure. "In all the world there is no city as great as I," it boasted. But now, look how it has become an utter ruin, a place where animals live! Everyone passing that way will laugh in derision or shake a defiant fist. (Zephaniah 2:12-15 NLT)

When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again. But he is not allowed to sell her to foreigners, since he is the one who broke the contract with her. And if the slave girl's owner arranges for her to marry his son, he may no longer treat her as a slave girl, but he must treat her as his daughter. If he himself marries her and then takes another wife, he may not reduce her food or clothing or fail to sleep with her as his wife. If he fails in any of these three ways, she may leave as a free woman without making any payment. (Exodus 21:7-11 NLT)
ofcourse these are all invalid because they are out of context

I used to enjoy speaking with intelligent people but now there seems to be very few anymore.

How much worse is it going to get and will it ever go back to the way it was when people cared about their intelligence?

I'm interested in what the christians have to say in particular but you all can answer. Now, i showed a clip from youtube to my mom about an atheist being discriminated against in her school. Mom replied back that she was sorry that happened but they shouldn't just throw out religion in schools- said something about babies and baths that i didn't quite understand.
I found that hyppocritical because she only felt that way because it was HER religion being practiced. What if they were all practising wicca, or islam. I think she'd have a different oppinion.
Sooo... what I mean to ask is if the religion was something that you tooootally didn't agree with (such as a pagan one), would you tolerate it being practised in a public place? What if the wiccans wanted to have a school group, like the christians have fellowship of christian athletes in school? Would you protest? Would you care?

for example: a roommate who doesnt lift a finger around the place, but when you order pizza or have beer in the fridge they take it upon themselves to help you drink/eat it but never reciprocate. Throwing them out isnt an option either. you have to deal with them. what would you do?

In short I believe in many different aspects of many different religions. Mostly just parts of the Catholic/Christian, Muslim, and Jewish. Also bits of the old Pagan stories or scripture, whatever the old stuff is called. Just curious if there is a name for someone who believes in parts of multiple religions.

Also yes I know someone is going to post a stupid answer so instead of giving them the attention they desire just ignore them.

Anyways thanks in advance for any helpful answers.

Just want to know what other people think..please answer honestly, I was baptized a Mormon when I was 8, when i was old enough to think for myself, I decided that the "religion" was full of crap, they talk about family and then turn their back on them, the whole book of mormon is just weird, I could go on and on, because I didn't believe in their religion I was excommunicated (no big deal to me) now they are coming to my house at least once a week to try to get my son to be baptized, it isn't going to happen and now I don't even answer the door when they come here. Does anyone else think the mormons are a cult or do you have a story about them?

You guys go and call us bad people, and use your bible to oppress us from things like society and politics, 'just because' the bible says we are bad people or whatever. I realize not all christians are like this, I tip my hat to those who aren't, but for the one's that are: What is your problem? Why do some christians fail to see that we are just as moral and law abiding as you?
