Apparently, there have been several Buddhist monks that have actually set themselves on fire as protest against various forms of government injustice. They were able to just sit there and meditate while on fire! (They died eventually, of course, but it didn't seem to phase them at all).

Since Buddhist monks seem to want to spend most of their time meditating, and they can meditate just fine while on fire, it seems likely they could pretty much just shrug off hell and get along fine there.

Did Jehovah not realize that some humans would be pretty much immune to his "big punishment"? Could the monks ability to ignore being on fire be a sign that they've latched onto something better than and beyond Jehovah?

God says "Thou shall not murder." Does that mean that mean that we just withdraw our military and just sit here and let the Iraqis blow us up?

That is how atheists feel about Christianity.

And it's seen as immoral to take rights away because they're gay (like how we see segragation in the 50's now)...?

Do you think the church will deny ever having anything against gays?

Or will they stick to the bible and say we're making a big mistake?

And please, no answers telling me I'm gay. I'm perfectly straight, and gays are humans and they deserve to be treated like humans. You don't have to be black to be against enslaving black people.

please don't answer like : it's a bunch of B.S., or it's just a fairy tale or story or a cult or anything of the like. I'm a christian and could give you a simple and straightforward answer about what I believe. I just want to see if there is a simple straightforward answer that you could give me about what you don't believe and why.

...then regretted it the next day and seriously thought about stopping payment on your check?

I was at this fund-raiser last night, and wrote a check for $500 because everyone else was giving money and I felt pressure and now I regret it and want to stop payment on my check.

But yet I will be embarrassed if they report to everyone that I stopped payment on my check. It's like I can't win!

Has this ever happened to you? What did you do? What would you do if you were in this situation?

In some real, tangible, physical way both audio and visual....

wouldn't you say something stupid like "It's a trick, a hoax! God wouldn't do that!"

or if He performed some miracle reversing the laws of science, physics and nature...wouldn't you still doubt His existance and wait until the scientific community explained everything to your satisfaction?

In other words, you claim to want proof or evidence - but isn't it a fact no proof would ever be sufficient for you?

Please for once, try to answer the question and don't give me the same old crap about "Uh-huh it's your burden to prove he does exist" .... I am asking what proof would you accept?

Yesterday, in Jackson, Mississsippi, a 72-year-old ex-Klansman, a citizen of that state, was sentenced to life in prison for his role in the Klan's kidnapping and murder, in 1964, of two 19-year-old boys for no reason other than that they were black. As more than a few inmates in American prisons do, let's say that once behind bars this man gives his "heart to Jesus," which, as I understand it, opens the door to Heaven. Let's say further than the two kids...who were beaten and weighted down and thrown into the Mississippi River, where they drowned...had not so given their hearts yet. Would they, in your interpretation of Christianity, go to Hell and their murderer to Heaven?
