Why is it that so many Christians think that worshiping god is the the only way to find true happiness and have good morals?

Do you realize that all of the cults began with someone other than Christ? Russell for the JW's, J. Smth for the Mormons, Mary B. Eddy for the Christian Scientists, the Ballards for the Great I Am. . . and so on?? Only the Christian faith was started by our Lord Jesus. Christians use only the Bible. All the cults add to the Scriptures. Can you defend your faith?

Australiopithicus, Homo Erectus etc. (forgive any spelling mistakes).
My guess is that they were in the early Genesis days, Nephilim times etc.
Or that they are fakes, because Piltdown man was.
Carbon dating is assumed to be flawed.

and when we are dead we are no longer inside our bodies
and the pillow thing makes no sense to me when your dead
and how could you be all cozy and comfortable when you are
dead?
And I would love some rock music in my casket like Janice
Joplin headphones when they put my body in a casket so I
can listen to rock & roll on my headphones that would be
so cool inside a casket and surround sound Dolby I would
prefer
I could talk with my Priest about doing this?

I made only facts about Christianity, then my analysis about them.

How did Christians react?
> semantics
> praying for me
> name calling
> "thats not *real* Christianity"
> denial

everything *but* truly address the question.
Christians just won't admit that if someone criticizes their religion. no matter how correct they are, they go in to violent states of denial and dogmatic rampages.

It seems to me that a lot of people on the R & S site are anti-religion rather than atheist. The atheists that I have known have no belief or interest in religion. Having a heated discussion with an atheist is near impossible becaue they have no passion for what they believe just disinterest. So why do so many apparent atheists come across as having an intensly emotional interest in religion or being anti-religion?

Somebody just asked "Is it better to be a kind and generous atheist or a greedy and hateful Christian?" Predictably, most of the answers from Christians were variations on the "Greedy and hateful people aren't real Christians" theme. This is the standard refrain whenever it's pointed out that any "Christian" in history has acted in a less-than-admirable fashion - the Inquisitors were "not real Christians," nor many (or any) of the popes, nor Ted Haggard when he was snorting meth off the butts of gay hookers, nor George W. Bush, nor Hitler, nor any nominal Christian whom one happens personally to dislike.

We're also constantly hearing from Christians that ALL human beings are miserable sinners from birth, insufficient in ourselves, in need of a "Redeemer" - hence, of course, the necessity of Jesus.

Does this mean that there are in fact NO "real" Christians? Or are Christians just the people who acquiesce in the idea that they're insufficient and sin-ridden and need to be "saved"?

Personally, I think the atmosphere practially begs you to feel bad about yourself. The hard wooden benches with no coushins. The long sermons that go over the same stuff you've heard countless times before. The awkward shaking of hands with people that are too friendly to be human. It's enough to drive a person insane.

It's time to stop playing the "oh, they aren't 'true Christians'!" card.
It doesn't matter how good or bad a person you are; your beliefs are your beliefs.

So yes, some people do do many un-Christian things. But if they believe in God and Jesus, they're Christian, buddy. It doesn't matter how they behave.



Discuss:
Do you agree?
Where did this thing start, anyway?
Why do people say it?
Etc.

She has cysts on her thyroid and is going to have surgery soon. She keeps having pressure on her neck and has a hard time breathing and swallowing... the doctors say that this can't be from the cysts because they're too small. My mom thinks there's something wrong that they haven't found yet - and the doctors won't do anything about it!

Her name is Diane.

And please people who don't believe in prayer... no rude comments... I'm not up to dealing with that today.

That we are only after his money? My boyfriend isnt the richest guy in the world, but he is hardworking, drives a nice car and shares a house with his roommate. I dont depend on him AT ALL, because I work and when Im done with my schooling, I'll probably make in six figures, three times what he is currently making. All the black f/ white m couples I know have women who are Registered Nurses or Physician's assistants (except my aunt who works at a bank in London), so I dont see why these women would depend on their white men, when they make a lot of money on their own.
Its just really annoying when people assume stupid stuff. What are your thoughts?

did Jesus resurrect Lazarus.
He was a good guy, Jesus' friend.
For sure he went to heaven.
Why did Jesus bring him back to earth after 4 days?

if so, many geniuses the world has alot to thank for are sinners, like scientists, for example Thomas edison, he created many things like the light bulb which you will undoubtedly use everyday, if so why are you supporting a product of his "sins" because if it wasnt for his understanding of science (which proves many bible theories wrong) then the things that you use daily like light bulbs would not exist. so why do yousupport a product of his sins?

please dont say something un helpful like "love the sinner not his sins" or "thats stupid". leave a constructive answer please!
