How do Medon, the marshal, and Halitherses, the man who interprets the future through birds, persuade half of the people at the assemby not to avenge the deaths of the men who wanted to marry Penelope?

Examining evidence for what you believe is logical in all cases. Christian or not. It is healthy to require evidence of Christ's claims. Just as Thomas did. He demanded "I won't believe it unless I see the nail wounds in his hands, put my fingers into them, and place my hand into the wound in his side."(John 20:25) 8 Days later, Jesus honored Thomas's request. Thomas then knew why he believed what he believed. Such understanding is vital.Of course, no matter how thouroughly convincing evidence may be, we must still excersise faith. Jesus invited Thomas to excersice faith; however, the faith that was called for was not blind faith but an informed, intelligent faith, one that is supported by evidence. Believing in something w/o evidence is like jumping into the dark. Faith that is rooted in Truth(that we have reason to believe is objectively true)is what we should be grounded in. Not blind faith. Isn't "Blind Faith" rediculous and an irrelevent term being that evidence has been presented

Okay, why should I become a Christian? Besides the prospect of a long, hot swim in the lake of fire if I don't conform, name one reason why I should believe in Jesus and why I should go back to Christianity.

*NOTE: I was raised in the religion but renounced it when I realized it was just fear keeping me bound to it.

My Mom doesn't really believe in it either, but I have to go to church with my Grandma a lot. I just don't think a lot of that stuff is true, and telling everyone else I believe is a lie. And that's not good.

Jesus!
1 John 5:20
And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

-Do you believe this?
(John 1:1, John 10, Revelation 1:8)

science vs. faith

rationality vs. religion

you vs. me

honestly, what is your mission as an athiest? i know my calling in life as a Christian is to live truthfully in the word and allow others to see me as a child of God.

Now dont get all nuts and start yelling at me, but i want to know, when you wake up and come on yahoo answers what do you hope to do, dissway me from Christianity, is that your goal? or do you find that you need to load up with scientific prrof of the nonexistence of God just for conversation sake?

all ive ever gotten out of asking these questions are scientific nonsense and alot of sarcasm, so why not actually answer me this time.

God bless

Seriously.
What. The. Flip.
Why do *some* religious people quote the bible justifying their hate (*oxymoron*) for gays, but neglect that part where any child who disobeys their parent(s) is worthy of death?
Because the Bible says it's okay, why don't we all kill anyone who cuts off the sides of their beard, plants crops out of season, or wears two kinds of fabric at one time?
And while we're at it, if one of our friends die without children, why don't we sleep with their wife?

A moment ago I posted a question asking "When a young person claims to be atheist, do you take them seriously or brush them off?" I was under the impression that young atheists (myself being 20 years old for example) aren't taken seriously because of our age. Many Christians seem to think that young people who claim to be atheist are going through a phase or will 'find their way back to God.'

What I noticed with a lot of my answers is that it seems atheists in general, regardless of age, don't seem to be taken very seriously. It seems many Christians believe that atheists are confused or 'lost' or otherwise think we will one day 'see the light'.

I understand that the Christian belief that God exists as the Creator of all things would cause them to believe that atheists are incorrect in our belief, but this does not seem to be a valid reason to dismiss our beliefs.

I heard like the number 3 means good luck but what does the number 10 mean?

I hate to sound like an athiest but; the bible was written but a bunch of guys who wanted to control the uneducated and weak with a thing like religon and have been doing it ever since. The bible was of course written by man and man is fallible. Fear and the unknown have made religion the number one killer of humanity. look at the middle east today and look back at it's history. 99% of all wars were started by religion of some sort and it still happens today. why on earth would someone believe in god or even try to reason his existance other than trying to dispell it. I think that people in general have to relate science to god because they cannot explain it on an educated level and people who are creationist can not accept the fact that evolution made the universe and not some god that they have never seen.

The people remained at a distance, while Moses approached the thick darkness where God was. - Exodus 20:21

Like the nation of Israel, we are each called to the mountain of God, but few are willing to pass through the darkness to get there. God wanted to reveal His glory to the children of Israel, but they were afraid to enter into His presence. They only wanted to know about God, rather than know him personally like Moses did. This grieved the heart of God.

Why wouldn't the people of Israel risk entering the darkness if it meant being in the presence of God? What did the people fear?

Perhaps they had fears like each of us. The fear of the unknown. The fear of what might happen. The fear that God might not like what He sees. Or, perhaps even the greatest fear: the fear of darkness itself and what lies behind that darkness.

you usually ask:

Christians, if your child wanted to become an atheist what would you do?

so i'm gonna reverse that and ask you:

Atheists, if your child wanted to become a Christian what would you do?

And I am saying within 5 years...

Christianity obviosuly does due to the Biblical Prophetic Scriptures
for the 2nd coming of christ.

Orthodox Judaism does- As they see a Messiah even though they do not see him as Jesus Christ coming to reedem the world

Islam- Yes they think the Madji is on his way...


Relgious and non religious believe in the Mayan Prophecy as fullfillment *As the end of an age* coming to a higher degree of self as this system ends with the Calendar.

Is it just atheism and other pagan religions that do not believe we are in a End Times Scenario...

If not, then why doesn't he simply FORGIVE them? If everyone is meant to go to heaven, why not simply let everyone into heaven? They would believe once they got there and saw that it was true. And since he's all powerful wouldn't he be able to control anyone that would be unruly or indignant? So what keeps him from simply letting EVERYONE into heaven, regardless of beliefs? Human free-will has NOTHING to do with GOD'S FREE WILL. If he were just, then he wouldn't set or allow traps such as other religions and incompatible earthly evidence, but yet there it is: http://www.sacred-texts.com http://www.whatjewsbelieve.org http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com http://www.messiahtruth.org http://www.cnn.com evidence in abundance that the christian variety of theology is clearly wrong. If god wanted people to go to heaven, why would he allow this, but yet require faith in christianity as a requirement for admittance? Why give us a brain to reason if we're not meant to reason?

... these issues do not AFFECT you?

Shouldn't you concentrate on doing good things like feeding the poor, helping the homeless, finding cures for diseases, protecting our environment for our future generations, promoting tolerance and love...? You spend all your time arguing about things that aren't hurting anyone. I'll explain:

A gay couple gets married... how does that affect you at all? And besides, even if they don't get married, do you think that will cause them to turn straight? No, they'll still be gay.

How does fetal stem cell research affect you? We have thousands of embryos that are destroyed daily at fertilization clinics - why not use these for good instead of the garbage dump?

Euthanasia... is completely up to the person. It's their choice. If you don't want to die and would rather suffer through a terminal illness, go right ahead. No one's forcing euthanasia. Why worry about it?
