What if the person you're murdering is a sinner?

According to a few christians I've met, it apparently is fine to murder sinners.

After deep soul searching and intense commune with Christ, in addition to therapy and spiritual counselling to address my sexuality and my parents spending a lot of money on therapy, I still am not attracted to girls and I still get crushes on boys without even meaning to. I am still a virgin but I do want to fall in love and have someone to spend my life with one day. Something tells me, this will never happen with a girl. I have inflicted all kinds of emotional and mental scars upon myself because I was told, "With God all things are possible." and I truly felt I was not becoming heterosexual because I was stubborn or lacked faith or was unworthy. Now I am not so sure. My little cousin has a degenerative nerve disease. She and her parents prayed to God to heal her many times. Just like in my case, it's not that I doubt God CAN heal her, but whether or not it is not just God's plan for her. I wonder what is God's plan for me, why am I the way I am.

Can anyone relate to this?

christians have a word for those who believe. it's called saved. those who don't believe are damned. the muslims have a word as well for non-believers. it's called infidel. both these words have a negative meaning associated with them. yet for some reason they are not considered rude. however, i have a term for people who don't believe the way i do on matters of religion. the word is "stupid". it's a simple word and makes no outlandish claim as to what happens to you after you die. so why is that word considered so rude to use? is it any more obscene than telling someone they're going to burn for all eternity?

which i don't understand. i'm a christian and i have met many people of other religions who truly love each other. yet my pastor said the above (he said others can't know how to love unless they have experienced the ULTIMATE love). what are you're thoughts on this?

Ok, so if you really think about it, I mean, REALLY think about it like this, was Jesus really all about forgiveness or was he more just like about this, I mean, you know how he seemed and he seems like he seems because of what he had seen, right, and hes the son of god and god seems like he seems totally and less like jesus seems because god seems like he has seen everything because he's god, right? so think about it like this: was jesus less like he seems like he's about forgiveness and more like he seems like he's seen some horrible things and maybe more like, virtue in general you know what I'm saying?

Why would an all knowing god bother trying to convert those he knew never would? Some he preched to converted some never did, since he knew in advance why did he bother?

Seems like ineffective time management to me.

Didn't God say that everybody would hate him but not kill him and that he'd be a nomad for the rest of his life.

Why would any man give him 10 sheep and a daughter to marry?

Where I work at an optometrist office, employee turnover is a lot 5 in a year on average. Everytime they hire someone its someone without experience that doesn't seem to have long gevity in mind. Now they hired one of those to cut glasses which is a fairly technical job and if its messed up customer service goes down fast. I am so tired of training new people without any exp. Also, I recently became certified as an optical assitant, (my job title is receptionist). I offered to do the assitant job when needed until the new person learns the lab fully then, pass on additional tasks to her as she is ready. Makes sense right? Good for the patients and us. Well my bosses looked at me like I was nuts and sort of blew me off. I am really frustrated at the whole situation. I have been here going on two years but it appears my suggestions aren't valued nor is my willingness to take on extra responsibility. Any suggestions?

Hello friends,
I pray that you are all doing well today. I have a couple of questions from my reading today. I was reading in Genesis again and noticed something that I never really thought too much about before.
Genesis 9:4-6:
But you must not eat meat that has it's lifeblood still in it. And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting. I will demand an accounting from every animal. And from each man, too. I will demand an accounting for the life of his fellow man. Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made man.

Ok, so my questions are: What exactly is lifeblood? I think I know a little what God is saying but I am not sure. Especially when He talks about demanding an accounting of mans lifeblood. Also, reading this two or three times, it seems to me that this is actually the first time that God commanded men not to murder. But, then I think about where it says that if man sheds the blood of man, so

Plus kids out late at night getting hit by cars and its dark and just kind of weird. Kids should go to indoor parties with their costumes on - a controlled environment supervised by adults. Wouldn't that be better?

if i walked around all day covered in peanut butter and you asked me why i was covered in peanut butter, to which i reply, "to keep the demons out." i'd imagine you laugh about it. i imagine any sane person would. is there any difference between picking on one person for his unpopular superstitious beliefs as opposed to picking on millions of people for their superstitious beliefs?

I'm not anything at all but I get so sick of watching you torment people who aren't bothering you. They never bother you except in your imagination. I don't see Religious people ever posting antagonistic and taunting questions towards you lot.
I know true a true Atheist and I can tell you with certainty he is one of the most reasonable and open minded, pleasant people you will ever meet. They love to discuss the possibility of God and all of these types of greater possibilities because they are not threatened. They have nothing to defend since there is no belief system for them. They have no Religion as you do. This was the case with Einstein and other true Atheists.They would never dream of Organizing. You are PseudoAtheist/Humanist/Se ckulaar/Co Reeligg ioni sts. If you have an organization and print, publish and promulgate information and literature...you are in a Religious organization my friends...I don't care what you call it....If it Quacks...
