Isn't it....every man for himself? Heaven...Hell....??
Why would God let Jesus die for all your sins? Then Christians would be free to do whatever they want....this world would go crazy...everyone would be doing bad things...?? How would God allow that?? Or...am I not right?? If I am not right, what is the Christian belief about this concept..."intercession"?

"The word 'al-Taqiyya' literally means: "Concealing or disguising one's beliefs, convictions, ideas, feelings, opinions, and/or strategies at a time of imminent danger, whether now or later in time, to save oneself from physical and/or mental injury."

In other words, Muslims are taught from their original false prophet mohammad (sbuh) that they can lie about their religion if it will help them further their cause.

After 1400 years of terrorism (muhammad of mecca was the original terrorist) why would they stop now?

In Isaiah 29 he speaks about a book . . .

11 And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a a BOOK that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed:
12 And the BOOK is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.

18 And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the BOOK and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness.

What is this book he is talking about?

I was at this bowling alley. basically a racial mini-brawl broke out. but they only arrested the black kids (all four were members of our high school football team). This was one of those nights when you pay 10 dollars and bowl as long as you want. So if you get there late you miss out. The white people from the next town over were waiting for a lane to open (which obviously was never going to happen) and I guess were getting frustrated. And that happen to toss the n-word at the wrong group of cats, and all hell broke lose.

So not only did they only charge the black kids, but all four were convicted and chuck was sentenced to 20 yrs! The NAACP was nowhere to be found until the trial was well underway. and even then they weren't foing anything but getting in the way.

The only things that saved their butts was that Virgina happened to have Black governor at the time.

What to watch for:
A comet named Gochihr strikes Earth, causing the human race to act “like a sheep being attacked by a wolf.”
What comes next:
Waves of holy, molten metal ripple across the entire surface of the world. All people, living and dead, will be judged. Those who have spent their time feeding the poor and not making fun of people with bad haircuts will be able to swim around in the lava-like "warm milk." The heartless ones, such as murderers and cruel reality-show judges, will be burned until their sins are gone. Most of us will wind up doing the flaming backstroke long before the screaming stops
As the burning continues, a virgin-born man named Saoshyant, or “one who brings benefit”, will defeat the forces of evil and usher in a perfect world where no one ever suffers or dies.
Can you survive it?
Sure. Even the worst cat-raping bastard is only looking at three days of agony, followed by eternal paradise once all the bad parts are gone. It’s fairly easy to see why Zoroastrianism makes the followers of newer religions irritable.

What to watch for:
A three-season-long winter. Of course, with all the mindless killing we’ll be doing, we'll barely notice.
What comes next:
Wolves eat the sun, Norse Trickster God Loki escapes from ropes made of his son’s intestines and hijacks a ship made of dead men’s toenails, and Jörmungandr, the World Serpent, rises from the oceans and spews poison across the lands and skies. Regardless of the fact that they know full well how the whole damn thing is going to end, the gods stab, poison, burn and eat each other until Earth sinks into the ocean.
Can you survive it?
We have a really narrow window here. The short version is that this is all Loki’s fault, despite that he’s currently tied up beneath the world getting venom dripped into his eyes. Once he gets free, you can’t turn around anywhere on Earth without bumping into dragons, fallen world trees and cowardly Viking zombies.
Only two humans, Lif and Lifthrasir, are scheduled to survive Ragnarök by hiding in the Yggdrasil, the world tree. It stands to reason that a tree large enough to connect hell, Earth and the heavens together would have plenty of places to hide, though

Why would being an atheist make a candidate unelectable? Seems that Rational thinking of an atheist would be an admirable quality, especially with what we know about religion and it's dwindling likeliness. Fact.....Jesus has no known writings...ever. His execution was not recorded by Pontius Pilate (whom kept detailed records of such things.) Furthermore, noone that wrote the Bible had ever actually met Jesus...It is more possible that he is a mythological god than even ever being a real person. So with this in mind, why is it that our elected officials must be religious in some way or another? Wouldn't that just be asking for an uneducated fool

Nahui Ollin – The End of the Fifth Era
Source: Aztec mythology
What to watch for:
A total solar eclipse lasting forever. This happens because the Aztec nation was destroyed by Spanish invaders in the 1500s, and hasn’t been feeding Nanahuatzin, or the Sun, the human sacrifices he needs to stay healthy and strong. Good going, Spain.
What comes next:
According to most early Central American cultures, the world has already ended four to five times, by methods ranging from flood to armies of hungry jaguars. Our world will apparently get the terrifying Tzitzimime, depicted as either skeletons with rattlesnake penises, or a race of bony, female spider monsters from the stars.
The Aztecs believed the sun would save us from the Tzitzimime, had they been allowed to keep feeding it human hearts. But, of course, ******' Spain came along.
Can you survive it?

I used to think that he was probably a real person, living 2000 years ago, I'm now pretty sure he wasn't. This feels like a betrayal by Christ, as part of my commitment was to leave my mind open to him, and I still do, but the evidence is mounting; I feel that Jesus is guilty of not existing.
All you Christians out there, I think you all know it's not true, but how do you pretend to yourself that it is.
By the way, I go along with all of Christ's teachings as a good way to behave.

According to the bible, god destroyed everyone on earth except, Noah, his wife, their three sons and their wives. A grand total of 8 people!
Okay, so I want to know, who did Noah send to what is now South America, Australia, North America, Antarctica and NewZealand to collect two of every animal? Who did he send to the bottom of the ocean in the Mariana Trench (7 miles down) and collect sea life there? Who collected the brown bears? Who collected the over 1 million types of plants and trees?
How could a dove have brought back an olive leaf when all trees were underwater for over 150 days and had all died? Why didn't god just snap his fingers and be done with it instead of a flood?
Oh, let me guess, I'm taking the story out of context?
