He is invisible and also you can not feel him or hear him. He is magic. This elf causes the weather to change, when it rains, you can see that he is real. But you should not ask for evidence of his existence. First, you must accept that he exists, then you will know that he is real. Will you accept this reality?

I stumbled upon a question for a while back: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AtGOu.2LEaFEfivzwo8PCs8jzKIX;_ylv=3?qid=20070715233134AAnRjJo
He argues that "christians," did horrible things throughout the years. The horrible actions recorded in history and credited to "christians" were done by Catholics. NOT Christians. Christians are people that followed Christ and His teachings. When the Bible first mentions the word Christian, it refers to those following the teachings of Christ. Those who praised and honored CHRIST. Not Mary, not John, Paul or whatever other "saint" the Catholic church decides to name. Catholics disobey the first few commandments when God tells us not to be idolaters. Catholics may implement Christ into their teachings, but they highly emphasize praising Mary and all the other saints declared by the popes, making them NOT christian but mary-tians, john-tians POPE-tians..etc etc etc. Anyways, can someone explain why the world considers this?

Even though my prayers have never been answered, I believe my mental condition has progressed to the point of me asking again. Who wants my psychotropics and hamster tranquilizers, I don't think I'll need them anymore?

trinity, purgatory, hell fire, idolatory, easter

all of these originating from pagan beliefs but all churches in some form or another practicing these.

I am curious about Christianity, and would like to do some research on the subject.

I have tried to read the bible, but find it hard to read. Is there a text that describes what is said in the bible, but in modern language?

I'm 27 but i don't speak english that well because i'm quiet, so i never talk , have never had friends so i don't have social skills nor language skills.

I have studied japanese so i'm interestted in japanese people and their culture and i speak japanese pretty well(i have proven it to my self and in voice chats i do well).

Anyways, the japanese skills means nothing to Japanese natives who come to the USA. They want to meet Americans with english skill, slang, or expressions which most social americans have. That's also the image of America they have, that americans are talkative ,outgoing. I'm not. i'm shy quiet, and hispanic. I also don't speak spanish well, in fact it's even worse because i also don't have any friends or contact with hispanics since i'm shy/quiet and i don't talk. Ok whatever, so although i'm friendly and i like to help and learn, do these people see me as trash? I have met some of them before and it has always been bad experience. They say i'm not american

Seems to be a good reason to speak in parables. Jesus didn't want some people in Heaven at all.

Let's say a pregnant homeless woman with no relatives is in the woods alone and dies in childbirth. The baby is alive but she is not. Why does God let the baby suffer and die of hunger? There is no lesson to teach because a newborn baby can't understand it and nobody else is around to know. There are no living relatives who would know or care about the birth. Nobody knows the baby exists. Why does it have to suffer?

No one speaks English (or at least don't want to). How am I supposed to get along with everyone. They all speak Farsi around me and I think they are insulting me.

And do you think that since their religious beliefs are ancient, they must be true?

If religion to you is a test (christians/muslims) why would you see anything og god in this world except for the prohets who were given miracles by god's power . It's like students who are in a class setting and the teacher announces a pop quiz to know that the students are following and learning , but during the quiz , she writes the answers to a few questions or in some peoples cases, they want every answer ( how is that fair?) . God doesn't work this way and he will be a mystery to us until the afterlife which is the best surprise for us to see. What kind of evidence are you looking for also? What is god's option to get even the most stubborn people from all societies to belief in him? to come down to earth himself? do you see why it's kind of nonsense and where I'm going with this??
