Why is it that non-believers of God constantly come up here and put down Christians, and put down God, and always have something negative to say about it?????
But on the other hand those "non-believers" get offended if someone were to question them about why they do not believe in God!
Great......You can believe in any religion that you please!!!!That is your right!!!
But why try and put down those that are believers of God??????
Faith is "Believing without seeing"!!!!
For those who want to know.....I am a believer in God, and I know that he is real even though some may not believe!!!
OK, see I believe, but that is me!!
You may be different....That is OK, believe what you may, but stop putting down people that believe in God!!!
You know......You had to get in this world someway......

Since I'd hate to generalize, let's narrow the discussion to the Christian religion.

So I had a friend looking at my homepage and he noticed my contacts. . .and the one named "Confirmed Atheist" popped out to him. He literally said, "Why is he one of your contacts". And, I said, "Because he is a real cool guy with interesting thoughts". My friend replied, "But, he is an Atheist". . .like I had Satan himself as a contact, lol. My reply was, "Yeah, and that simply means he is a human who does not believe in God. . .and is a really cool guy with interesting thoughts".

Why do you think the term "Atheist" scares some people?

Keep the Sabbath day, established by our Creator at mankind's creation, HOLY? If not, why not?

I have just asked 9 questions in a row, based on the 10 Commandments from Exodus 20. All most all the answers, in one way or another, say that they are following those 9 commands.

Take a good look on these links:
http://www.gnosis.org/naghamm/gosthom.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnosticism
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecclesia_Gnostica

This is the newfound scriptures written on the same period as our new testament. According to this Gnostic Society, there were many Christian tradition in 2nd - 3rd century, among them were at least two big tradition, the first was Pauline tradition which shapes our Christianity today, and the second was the Gnostic society, which believe in reincarnation, and also different paradigm of salvation.

The Gnostic society, so this website claimed, were eradicated by the Catholic church at the time, and proclaimed it as heresy.

A simple "thank you" after a purchase or paying for a meal seems to be a thing of the past. This is my pet peeve. What are some of yours? What is the best way to educate people in manners?

I saw one at the local shopping centre and it was HUGE. How on earth are you supposed to hold it up. Good grief if it ever fell on me I would be crushed, and I aint exactly petite. I'd never be able to pick it up again.

I'm speaking of the promise Jesus said that He will draw all men to Himself.

Are there churches who teach and believe Jesus will accomplish His will, even if it means correction in the age to come?

During the Last Supper, Jesus performed a new rite – the washing of the feet of His disciples (John 13:4-17). Jesus said He had given them an example that has to be done. I do not know of any Rabbi who washed the feet of his followers in any Jewish festival or religious rite.

What do you think is the purpose of this washing of the feet? Do Jews have similar ritual? Which among Christian churches perform this?

Then what about the scientific advances that are the result of our understanding of evolution? Should those who refuse to accept evolution as fact be denied the benefit of medical advances that came evolutionary biology? And if so, how would that effect the evolution of the species?

Perfect meaning... doing everything the bible/your religion tells you. I mean somebody didnt follow one of their own rules and you guys crucify them over here.

By my definition... a christian is somebody who just believes in a christian God... not neccessarily perfect.

think that God will save us from anything bad happening to the earth? God put us here to take care of it, so why should he save us for misusing his earth? All we have been doing is polluting it and killing it. We are all going to pay for this.
