Hi, guys. I didn't mean to bother you or waste your time. But after that rant about christians(and I'm very sorry fot that). When I saw what happened in canada a few weeks ago. I was angry at them. But, I suddenly realize that they are scared of what they don't understand. And I want to HELP them understand. But I'm not sure if I'm doing a good job. But, as a witch you have to support religious tolerance. I had many e-mails sent to me saying how arrogant I was, or go back to your silly faith, stupid fluff. They told me I was only making everything worse. They assume I was intolerant, stupid. And all I'm doing is trying to make peace with other religions starting with Christians.

This is the link to my question. I want your honest opinion, I feel pretty stupid doing this. I got out of my little shell of hatred and intolerance and I really wanna help.

Dear God:
I know that I'm a sinner. I deserve Hell. But You sent Jesus to die for my sins. I believe that He died and rose again. I ask you now to forgive my sins, once an for all. I now receive Jesus Christ as my Lord and Personal Saviour. Please come into my heart and save me, Help me to know I am saved and live for You, the rest of my life. In Jesus' Name I pray, Amen.

rather than plagiarizing the title "Christians" that the Catholics originally have?

Now, I'm a Christian myself, but still find this so frustrating and annoying.

Don't you just hate it when other Christians denounce or degrade a particular group of individuals as a whole? Even though in the Bible it clearly states that Jesus came on this earth to "love your neighbor as yourself".

Example: The whole muslim thing. There is such a thing as radical Islam, but don't forget that this doesn't account for the whole of muslims! As Christians, we hate it when people take us for Bible pushing preachers! Likewise don't make an idiot out of yourself and accuse every muslim of being "a crazy, immoral being. Who should die!" Seriously, stop being hypocritical! You're making all the Christians look bad! Damn it!

Now don't throw me a line from the Old Testament. From my understanding, Jesus down to make it simple: Love your neighbor as yourself. Sanhedrin threw the Old Testament laws at him but his message was clear. Can't you follow that message? Doesn't this make you mad

Does this also mean we existed before being born here? If life started after we were born on Earth then wouldn't that make life infinite instead of eternal? Something infinite has a beginning point whereas something eternal has no beginning or end.

Like in real life... not online.

You know, I was waiting for my mum to pick me up from work the other day and there's this girl with a group of friends who looked at me strange and passed by several times.

And when one of them caught me grinning to myself (because I was remembering something funny) and then I heard something dropped heavily onto the ground. I thought it was my mobile phone but then I saw it wasn't. It was one of the girls' and she was like staring at me wanting to start a fight or something.

WTF? She probably thought I was making fun of her when I was grinning to myself and threw a fit... she hurled her handphone into my direction and it landed just a few centimetres shy from my feet.

I almost lost it... but I refrained from calling her a b***h or start a fight or something. That girl was crazy.

Have you ever been in a similar situation?

In Bavaria, there is talk about putting an expiration date on marriage. The woman pushing it wants marriages to last only 7 years. After that time, the couples should either agree to extend their marriage or it should be automatically dissolved.

Where do these people come from?

Christians are the only group that insists everyone else live by their beliefs?

Many Jewish people see it as against God to eat pork yet they have never attempted to mandate an anti pork ammendment to the constitution. They simply don't eat it.

Many other religions have laws that the people simply follow, realizing that not everyone believes as they do and accepting such dissent.

Why is it that Christians feel the need to force everyone to follow their faith whether they believe in it or not?

I know that there are lines in their Bible telling them to preach their gospel but did I miss the references to enacting laws forcing people to comply?

Atheists, you are a very logical people. I truly understand that. I always try to be logical too. You want things to make sense to you. You want things to be black and white, no inbetweens, because when it comes down to it, the answer is always right there and it is a logical one. My logic is different from yours. We can all agree on that. Because I do believe there is a God. And just for the sake of making my point I would like to tell you what He says.
God said in the book of Isaiah:
"Just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts."
When we think of things we use human logic. But, God says His thoughts are higher than our thoughts. Our logic is nothing to God. He is the one that created our brains and He knows what we are thinking. He knows our logic. That is why He made it a point to point out to us that His thoughts and ways are higher than ours.

I was the one that got away because someone wouldn't commit. At the time I was hurt, but in the end it was the biggest favor anyone ever did for me. I was able to marry the one I am in love with.
