Society & Culture - 26 September 2007

My brother is a Christian and I am an Atheist. We like to debate. This is how we do it first we read the book then we switch books.

Right now I (the Atheist) am reading "Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis.

My bro (the Christian) is reading "ATHEISM, The Case Against God."

Questions:
1. Does anyone else do these kind of exercises?
2. What is your opinion of what we do?
3. Would you be willing to do this why or why not?

I am not looking for fast answers so please consider carefully and respond thoughtfully. We have done this 2 times before with different books and we both still hold to our beliefs.

I admit to doing this too - just getting mad about people who are different then us?

Ever heard the saying
'You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink'
Don't shove our beliefs down their throats. If we want to set examples, like God wants us to, were not doing so good(especially me)

I mean this doesn't happen every time, but sometimes on this program I say the rudest things come out of a Christian mouth. I think we know better...

I think next time we are judged, we should turn the other cheek, instead of losing our tempers

I'm not confronting you necessarily, because I do this a lot

Again, I'm not judging the entire Christian population

let me tell ye a story .........
once upon a time on this site - folk were getting on well and enjoying themselves in a way that not many of sound mind would find offensive - then amongst us came a wee sad, pathetic, lonely, frustrated and more than likely - very very boring skillkit (scottish fer something you find on the bottom of yer shoe if ye worked in a farm yard) and this skillkit brought with it sadness. But the wee rabbit did not have the 'courage' to sign its name or make itself known to those that it rubbished - it hid and made judgements that it was not fit to make because you see - it was not worthy in the first place to be among us. And what is worse than that wee Min is that this creature is no doubt hiding itself under the coat of friendship and pretends to one and all that it is a good and caring thing - and in fact - it lives in and on and around darkness and misery.
But come over here wee Min - we will take care o' you and welcome you warmly!

At 3pm CST(GMT -6) this afternoon, God sent a vision to Fred Phelps. Fred was too busy fornicating with a first cousin to pay attention. So, as the first available prophet of the inactive reserve, (Don't ask,) it was forwarded to me.

As I lay sleeping off some Chinese Buffet, An IM in letters of fire a quarter cubit tall appeared above my bed, sayething,

"Not by the hand of Ceasar, nor by men who lieth with men, nor by the unbeliever shall Israel be saved, nor by such shall my Kingdom on Earth be accomplishedeth."

The message is clear. Ol' Inbred Fred has had it wrong. Iraq isn't God's punishment for the US harboring gays. We haven't won because Gays unbelievers and backsliders weak in their Faith are allowed to fight in this Holiest of Wars.

We need to pull the troops out last week. And arrange for the Faithful to go to the Mideast and start blowing themselves up at people until, well, Kingdom Come.

Comments, responsible or otherwise, invited.

but then you do the same exact sin again .....and again.

Would you still be forgiven ?

DO you get RE-saved again and again ?

How does that work ?

what others think of the Scripture when Jesus tells the people that he will condemn those that saw him hungry or thirsty or naked or in need and didn't DO anything while he will welcome into Heaven those that fed him when he was naked and gave him to drink when he was thirsty and clothed him when he was naked. Those are certainly works. Faith and works go hand in hand don't you feel?

I have reasons for thinking why that realization either is growing at a slow pace, or is doing so explosively. But I won't give them now, because I'm interested in seeing how **you** are perceiving the **rate** of our progress away from bigotry. And **why** you perceive that rate as you do.
