Im a christian there seems to be so much hate towards each other

For us so called Christians I think we need to remember that jesus never preached any form of hate whatsoever and the church and ppl as a hole said this, I mean how could jesus preach christian superiority when christianity did;t even exist for another 300 years and we were still the minority andbeing persecuted worse than jews at the time. Theres a reason God gave us a free will if ppl wanna sin let them sin if God gave them free will to do so then who are we to deny them God will deal with them not us.

Now for atheist some of you blame religion for wars, hatred, and bigotry in society. Well even though theres been countless cases of ppl killing in the name of God and religous wars nowhere in the bible does it ever say to to do such an act the 10 commandments clearly prohibit murder, Jesus spoke about love. ppl do the evil deeds not religion. If everyone was atheist we would still be in the same boat anyway.

I felt sad last night when I discovered our friend 'AUM' had left Yahoo Answers. His wisdom, kind nature & thought provoking Q&A's were such an inspiration. Im sure many of you will agree that his presence, love & energy is missed....

Why do the good people feel they are being driven out? What do you say?

I only work one shift a week and I'm not a heavy smoker - I only smoke about 10 low tar cigarettes each day and I always go outside so they don't affect anybody else.

My horrible co-worker has started to come to me asking for a cigarette all the time. She's having about 5 each day from me and she's just so pushy! I think that she's given up at home and is just scrounging from me because she doesn't want to buy herself a packet on a regular basis.

Everybody despises her as she's arrogant, loud, snobby, boring and bossy.

What should I say to her? I have to work closely with her and I don't want to cause an argument, but I'm not giving her anymore cigarettes because I don't like being taken for a fool!

What's the best way to fob her off?

(ps - please don't have a go at me for smoking - I'm under some stress at the moment and I'm not planning on giving up until things have settled down - I know it's bad for me etc.)

How do you deal with someone who asks for your help and/or advice and then when you do and they misunderstand you find yourself falling all over yourself and tripping over words to clean it up?

I answered a question on answers and the person emailed me asking me for more advice. Thast cool I have nothing to do and generally a nice person and good listener. Only problem is, although their question seemed angled toward a specific problem, the underlying problem was racism.

They misunderstood my email because I answered one of their statements in my reply email but I didnt say which one I just answered and they blew it out of proportion basically saying I'm defending a specific race. I tried to tell them that they were misunderstanding and apologize although I did nothing wrong.

Then they email me insulting my writing skills and such just to get under my skin I guess. It didnt really bother me. Did I do something wrong? Should I feel bad?

He said Jesus Christ in almost every sentence he ever said.
As in: Jesus Christ it's hot out here.
Jesus Christ that's good cake.
Was the Lord working through him in mysterious ways?

I think it's just the word of another Human being. Lets face it, anyone can say anything and say it was God talking to them. I think is very arragant to claim to have God talking to you...

If it was written today, the author would probably be condemmend as a mad man, or get a price put in his head!

why would almighty and good and loving jesus want ANYONE put to death? (witches (or wiccans for the correct term)) Isnt what the christian religion supposed to teach is tolerance, not to judge, and turn the other cheek and all that? And if a christian puts to death an offender to the eyes of "god" does he/she still go to heaven since he/she commited a crime? There are ALOT of contradictionsin your bible. Trust me i went to church every sunday from2 to 9 years old, at two i could recite full psalms. And you know what all my prayers resulted in? being beaten up everyday! i turned to Wicca, the goddess and the elements and i feel so much more peaceful and happy. why are there so many restrictions in your religion? How can being imprisoned in a cage of restriction be better than being free in a worl of accpetance and peace? you tell you christian what is so good about your religion. it has only brought me distress and depression. Prayers are not answered unless you make them happen!

if you are not with jesus you are against him also thows who are approved by the world are denied by the lord

so if the world approves you then god dissaproves you meaning you are against him because the world is of the flesh and what the flesh wants is in contrast to what the soul wants and the soul wants what god wants so if you are approved by the world then you are probley not doing right things you should be doing so you are against god becuase you cannot be luke warm meaning you are neather hot nor cold meaning there is no neutrel to god you are earther with him or against him, you cannot do what the world wants you to do and also do what god wants you to do


he or she may have said less than that buts its the general concept

I started out wishing to bring the best for all living beings including humans, animals, and even plants etc. I shared with God my dream to bring happiness and peace into my own and others lives. To see God in everything and smile with ecstasy of God's grace, watching the amazing beauty of life. I wanted the poor to be well fed, so they have enough resources to live happily. I wanted animals to be treated with respect and families to be united. I asked for God. I made certain decisions where I chose the happiness of others over mine. I had a negative setback like almost everyone in life but this only harmed me usually, even then I continued striving for the truth, God, and knowledge and love. Now I am at a point where I am facing the consequences for neglecting myself because of the need to bring bliss into the lives of others. I hope God listens and saves me and blesses me. Will you pray for me so God gives me his sweetest grace and saves my hard work. I have much more to do in life.
