Any person who has even a limited understand of evolution understands that humans didn't evolve from monkeys. They are distant relative in the primate order, and NOT direct ancestors. So why do you always claim that we believe this, when we certainly don't?

touchy question, mature, sound, factual answers only PLEASE!

this happened 2 one of my teacher's nieces several years ago. she shared this story with us & a debate ensued. what do u all think?

if a 13yo girl(believer) is on an abort. table bcuz her father has impregnated her & made her "get rid of it" & she dies on the table right after the doc is finished...where will she spend her eternity?

where will the father & the doctor spend eternity if they both ask their "Savior" for forgivness after this experience & promise 2 obey from that moment on?

Rate yourself:

1 being you've never read it

5 being you are familiar with most of the central doctrinal material and could cite a few passages.

10 being you could recite 100 passages, know the context, know the history of the texts, know what if any archeology has confirmed or discounted which parts, know the history of the middle east and are somewhat familiar with the source languages.

I am an atheist and would rate myself a 7, (so give me a big pat on the back.)

I ask because I get annoyed when Christians assume I have some sort of fear of, aversion to, or complete ignorance of the bible.

Most atheists seem to me to be more informed than the AVERAGE Christian who basically just knows Genesis, the Passion narrative, and a few parables. (and of course the verses condemning homosexuality)

How about you?

Themselves by the color of their skin?
I feel that African Americans and Hispanic Americans are keeping racism alive in our country today. Holding on to your ethnic background and Identifying yourself by the color skin are two different things. As long as people identify themseleves by the color of their skin, the are practacing self-segregation. What do you think??

Honestly, if God is such a non-issue to him, why spend so much time whining about it?

Opinions?

If some of us protest injustice that is being done in the name of Islam, that is because we love Islam and hate to see its good name being misused as a cover for oppression that is completely contrary to the spirit of Islam. Muslims have to clean up their own act, and insisting on denial of a problem is no service to the ummah. The injustice against women perpetrated by the system of power is very real. Willful blindness to the problem is no excuse for going along with it. If you really care about the essence of Islam, you need to establish justice. The injustice against women in Muslim countries is terrible, and there has been more than enough pious preaching about how Islam is great for women (in an ideal world), and not enough correcting of injustice on the ground. The evil comes from the system that keeps people locked in roles that stunt their growth, the system that unjustly penalizes women who would exercise their rights.

Is Jesus good with that? It's against what a lot of us say in church? It's crazy, and I'm mad about this!

Modesty -

Here I have created a really nice body - Now hide it ------what is up with that


Here are 10 things you are never to do - Or I will burn you forever - Because I love you

What is up with that one ?


God gets mad and drowns all but 8 people -

Couldn't he have tried "talking to them" first?

Jesus commands us to love our enemy - But Jesus plans to toast his enemies for eternity in a lake of fire -

Isn't that just a wee bit hypocritical of him ?

Jesus said:
"I am the door, if anyone enters by me, he will be saved."

This is why Christians scare me

Surely its like they have the goodness blackened and the badness raised for a toast held high! I am only reminding myself of what I see everyday.

Yeah, I know it's a trite question. DRINK!

Seriously, though, I don't get how some people throw around the phrase 'false religion' as if they know without a doubt that they are right and everyone else is wrong.
Sounds pretty damn arrogant to me.

If they say they are who they are, then surely they should give it all away, so why are they still counting?
