With some commendable exceptions, a lot of atheists - I wouldn't even say most, but a lot - seem to be able to insult Christians without feeling guilty. They rationalize their behavior with the mindset that they "deserve" it. A few minutes ago I posted this question & apology:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071007225127AADIh0e&r=w

And here are some of the responses I got:

~ "I never feel bad for telling the truth, even if the truth is an insult."
~ "Sorry you feel so insulted. But if the shoe fits..."
~ "Normally people that I insult deserve it - I take no pleasure in it."
~ "fundies, fanatics, crazies, morons, idiots, stupid, gullible, insane, hateful, hypocritical, manipulative, harmful to society, brainwashed, bigots, outdated, anti-science, bad spellers, mentally challenged"
~ "No I never feel guilty. It is all so impersonal quit whimpering and get on with your life."
~ "I never attack anyone that doesn't deserve it."

Christians, if you have a problem with your kids trick-or-treeting do you put up a chrismas tree every year?

If you do did you know that the tradition of putting up a chrismas tree was derived from a pagan tradition?

"Did you know that if you do not belong to Jesus Christ you belong to Satan? You don't have to be a card carrying Satanist to serve Satan. You don't have to be a murderer, drunkard or drug addict, either. All you have to do is ignore Jesus Christ. If you don't have Jesus today, you are deceived and hell bound--you are a child of hell, a child of the devil." - an excerpt from http://www.jesus-is-lord.com/hellreal.htm

There are many Christians who are drunkards, muderers and drug addicts. So these Christians would not go to hell, because Jesus has died for their sins?

Some Christians say, no one can judge who goes to Hell or Heaven except God. But i see, alot of Christians here, judging and pointing fingers at atheists, non-believers and believers of other faith.

What would happen to these Christians that Judge?

"Judge not, lest ye be Judged" - Doesn't this mean anything anymore?

"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone" - Christians, are you without sin?

Several of us tried it, in the one and only phone booth in our little old home town. We managed to pile 6 or 8 of us into the booth, close the door - then braaaaap, one of the guys inside farted. The door flew open in a quick hurry, and we all flew out of that booth in half a second with shouts of, "a jeez, man, stink, let me outta here, aaaagh I'm gonna die." The old timers across the street got a good laugh out of it.

........and how is it made?

2007-10-07 18:58:52 · 11 answers · asked by Anonymous in Mythology & Folklore

and not just the 144,000?

Did Jesus not tell His disciples to wait for the PROMISE of the Father in Acts 1:4? The Promise of God was for ALL!

Those with God's Holy Spirit and children according to Promise as stated in Galatians 4:28 which says Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are chidren of PROMISE, But as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who born according to the Spirit, even so it is now. Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman (according to flesh) shall not be heir with the son of the freewowan (chidren of PROMISE, according to Spirit).

Ephesians 1:13-14 says you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of PROMISE who is the guarantee of our inheritance until redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.

Ephesians 4:30 says And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

See Galatians 4:21-31 for understanding!!

To me it seems so. The authors mixed some history with a alot of mythology threw it in a blender and never bothered to patch up any holes.
Lo and behold, some ignorant people took it for fact and it has been negatively affecting everything in the western world ever since.
My question is: Can you think of a work of historical fiction that has been more influential?
I can't...

You call us fundies, fanatics, crazies, morons, idiots, stupid, gullible, insane, hateful, hypocritical, manipulative, harmful to society, brainwashed, bigots, outdated, anti-science, bad spellers, mentally challenged, and accuse us of having low self-esteem, no self control, and letting others think for us. Sometimes I make hurtful and insulting remarks too. I shouldn't, and I know that, and believe it or not I'm getting better as time goes on. I apologize to anyone I may have hurt. I feel bad about it, I honestly do, and it's because I have the Holy Spirit to convict me. Before I was a Christian I would have said much worse to people and not felt the slightest bit guilty. My question is, do you ever feel bad for what you say about Christians? Ever wish you could take something back? And if so, what do you think prompts those feelings?
I appreciate your answers.

There has always been this sense of pride amongst Hispanics of all nations. There pride in Spanish, Spanish culture, Catholicism, etcetera... So strong is this pride that it has created a whole sub-culture of Hispanic life.

But isn't being proud of speaking Spanish, reveling in Spanish culture, and Praising your catholic faith like saying "Hey Cortes' thanks for coming here, kicking our butts, eliminating our culture, raping our women, and reducing us to third world nations by stealing all of our gold, and erasing our history"

Spanish is the language of your conquers, Jesus, THEIR, god. Meso America once had strong and mighty cultures in the Aztecs, Mayans, and Incas. And all that was lost to Spain and yet you sit and revel in your "Spanish heritage".

Please Explain....

I have always heard this but can find nothing specific about it in the Bible ( well except for the whole Thou shall not kill/murder thing). Anyone have any further verses to cite? What is your opinion on a suicide by someone who is mentally ill?.
