Don't you find it annoying how on tv they show these religious/church shows such as "hour of power" or those worships where people dance around and run up and down the aisle like idiots......but there are no shows for atheists(as far as I know)!!! It's not fair, it's like these false religious messages are being thrown at us, and they're brainwashing children!

I see statements like this on here frequently. As well as statements that we try to legislate our beliefs. My question is doesn't every group do this? How you vote. Who you support. Which charities you give your money to all depend on your beliefs. Christians believe in God and would love Christianity to be taught in school. Atheists do not and would protest any such notion (And do not mention separation of church and state please). All groups try to legislate their beliefs. They want the law to reflect what they feel is right.

Homosexuals want the right to marry because they feel there is nothing wrong with it. Christians object because they feel it is a sin. Both are trying to make their beliefs law.

So I ask you are Christians who try to legislate their beliefs any different than other groups who do?

From the western days right? Is it suppose to describe Chinese people? I think they associate yellow with being cowardly because I guess they thought the Chinese in the western times to be cowardly.

If Atheists want to replace Christianity, why don't they do more charity work? Around the city where I live, social services always refers families in need of food to church food banks, churches host AA and Al-Anon meetings, run church soup kitchens, ect. Why don't groups like American Atheists or the Rational Response Squad do the same? Many people I know(including other atheists) look down on such groups as childish because they spend all their time and budget on protest, but never really demonstrate what they stand for. It hurts their public image. So, why the lack of charity work?

Where do you think you would go. JOHN 3:3 SAYS " You must be born again or you can't even see the Kingdom of God." With that being the basic premess would that cause one to think ?" Since we are to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling."

See Batgirl's answer to this question.

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070901191333AAusFzG&r=w&pa=FZptHWf.BGRX3OFMiTxTWfProwHMBOCnpH7VD14zPzENCOTcv_H4vG9RwY5W93LY7.Z4bjTkO1.vUxrGKg--&paid=answered#RcYqWja.VjXXdYcDfd_E1vDV75geJ2Pl1stX7HpkrpQaTQOqRSql

The questioner asks if unconditional love is possible, or even if it is comprehensible.

Batgirl's reply states that God loves us unconditionally.

I may be wrong, but isn't "Belive in me or else," a condition to earning his love and acceptance?

Not picking on you, Batgirl, but I am seeking to clarify.

Christians, suppose you're sitting at home reading the bible and the voice of God says, in your head, that you must kill your first born child in order to prove your faith.

Now, suppose you heard on the news that a man killed his wife and children because "God told him to." Do you believe it?

Now, let's take it a step further. Let's say that your neighbor hears from God, and God tells your neighbor to kill you and your family in order to prove his faith. When your neighbor bursts through your door with a shotgun telling you he's sorry, but the Lord has spoken and you all must die, do you go willingly, or do you try to get away? Do you just accept that your neighbor says that God said you must die, or do you need proof?

I'm not saying that your neighbor is going to kill you, I'm asking how do you determine whether or not something that is said about God is true? Do you just believe it all, or do you need proof?

Oh yes and what does a rose quartz represent? By the way I can't have something that obviously has something to do with witchcraft. My family is Christian so I have to keep everything secret. Just to show how extreme they are they think my uncle is possesed.

http://submission.org/mu-wrote.html
- Claim of Muhammad's illiteracy - another look
This is also not true, here is the proof
http://www.submission.org/illiteracy.html
- Prophet Muhammad's marriage to Aisha
This the biggest lie please read this

Please be polite in your response.

If I, all by myself (as in no one else but me), was obliterated by 10,000+ armed soldiers. Basically, a small army.






And i only used a knife.





A really big one ;).




Would you not believe in God then? Cause i'd probably would not need His help to do that.



So, to whoever reads this (if you do believe in Him that is), for any reason i do pull this off, would you believe God does not exist?




And i can gaurentee you'd hear about it.



The whole world would.

I just said a prayer to Jesus and this is what I said

Dear Jesus,
If I ever promised something on the holy spirt or promised you something, I'm very suppor sorry, but I'm going to have to take that back because I don't want to promise you something that might not happen maybe later on in life it will, but I don't think it is right now, but I still want to keep me spirt saved and my others, and I will say that I will try to follow your commandments on the list to have my other lifetimes saved and when I sin I want you to forgive me and help me to not sin again and please don't take it the wronge way, oh eya and pleasegive my sins now
ok?
Thank you,
Amen.

or I said something like that. He'll understand right? I'm sure he will. What's your opinion?

Looking around at the state of our world today, and all the suffering humans endure, would you agree that if God does exist, then He most certainly is an evil God?

So I guess the Real Question is cause you probably already know about The Bible Code is what can we do to not have these things happen. Because even though it sounds crazy The Bible Code could have saved Rabin and had anybody known to put in 911 it could have averted that catastrophy as well. All this code tells me one thing very clearly and that is that this is a program that is running and thats why we see all the code. So if it is a program that means it can be altered but to alter it we need to be as one when the time comes. We must stand and not fall. The only way to alter a god program is to use our God Given Godlike Powers that we have so we can alter it. But we will never reach this level or even come close if we don't stop all the killing now. We must all become enlightened to the point of true God Powers. Once we all come together as one under the cause of saving life and planet we can alter the program that wont be hard what is hard now is getting along can it be done at all
