Isn't half of it just letters that don't warrant consideration? Which leaves, primarily, four incomplete and inconsistent stories that cover very little of a man named Jesus's life. Sounds like a lot of wanna-be priests and theologians are who invented the religion by making things up.

They were sent an invitation with just their name, no "and guest". They replied with "2" being the number of people attending. We already invited more than capacity for the reception cite expecting some people not to come. How do I tell my friends they cannot bring a guest?

I have heard that people should not be cremated because then they will not be resurrected in the second coming. Is there any truth to this?

I have gone nearly a year without any of my questions/answers regarding Christianity reported and deleted. I probably ask and answer 10 times many about Christianity as I do about Islam. Yet I would say over 50% of my Q's and A's about Islam get deleted. I am pretty much equally opposed to both cults and speak my mind accordingly.

Yesterday I received my first V notice for a question I posted about Christianity. What's up with you Christians? Are you now stooping to the level of Muslims and just attacking people you do not like or people who disagree with you? What's so hard about sending me an email that says something like "Chris, what you said was very offensive. It seems like you are not really wanting an honest answer, but rather trying to instigate arguments." Something like that is respectable and can be dealt with accordingly. Why be cowards? Why not express your opposing views as an answer or send me an email if you are too scared of public ridicule?

Every so often I see a Christian insist that they know their god is real because they have personally experienced or "felt" him somehow.

As a non-christian, what is your opinion regarding such a statement?

Do you think it is a complete lie?

Do you think the christians have deluded themselves into thinking they have felt something when there was actually nothing there?

Do you think they felt something else and misidentified it?

Or do you have some other opinion or idea about it?

In Islam teaching, Allah is the creator of everything in the world.

Allah created & program it to be pig.

...so...

Allah created & program Chinese like to eat pork?

....but....

I do not understand why Allah created and program a group of people follow the teaching of Islamic bible & quoted pig as NAJIS.

...but....

If we help this pig owner to clean them properly & eat food like soybean.

...will there be more clean than human.

Human are created and program to eat corpse of animals, fruits & rotten fruits & etc.

I found out that how the English form of Christianity started was that the King personally 'edited' some parts of Christianity to make it more convenient for him. what are you feelings towards that ?

Think about it.

Humans are social animals by nature, which gives us greater survivability. Surely morals have developed to allow greater social cohesion, which would be essential in order for the societal structure to work effectively?

What do you think of this theory?

Kind of disarms the Christians of their "Where do morals come from if there is no God" question, doesn't it?

Recently I decided not to teach my children about Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny because of my Christian beliefs. I feel they are only a distraction from what the holiday is actually about. I will still have a tree and stuff at Christmas and still want to have baskets and eggs at Easter. Can you please help me find a way to bring the true meaning of the holidays into all of this. Thanks.

The first couple of Popes were Jews, we got two Poles, Benny is a German and the rest were Italian? It makes sense the Bishop of Rome has been mainly Italians, it doesn't make sense for the Universial Bishop to be mainly Italians.

This is what CJ tells us, but what does the bible tell us?

The Bible directs us to invoke those in heaven and ask them to pray with us. Thus in Psalms 103, we pray, "Bless the Lord, O you his angels, you mighty ones who do his word, hearkening to the voice of his word! Bless the Lord, all his hosts, his ministers that do his will!" (Ps. 103:20-21). And in Psalms 148 we pray, "Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from the heavens, praise him in the heights! Praise him, all his angels, praise him, all his host!" (Ps. 148:1-2).

Not only do those in heaven pray with us, they also pray for us. In the book of Revelation, we read: "[An] angel came and stood at the altar [in heaven] with a golden censer; and he was given much incense to mingle with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar before the throne; and the smoke of the incense rose with the prayers of the saints from the hand of the angel before God" (Rev. 8:3-4).

The majority if not all of your question are either insults on the Christians or the Muslims! if you don't believe as they do. Fine. Don't. But at the very least. Grow up and stop asking such insulting questions, and no if someone is going to use the freedom of speech excuse, or they are just asking questions. Come on people. Some of you have gone over board.
and if someone going to say they do it to you. Two does not make it right. Just because some do wrong. It does not mean you can take it on all of us.
one example of many:

Is there any limit to where it will go!

I'm honest person. If you don't like my question. Your choice. Move on, and don't go crying to big brother. If you can't handle the heat in the kitchen get out. It is going to get mighty hot here.

P.S. Thank you one and ALL for taking the time.
