Were you burned by 'religion' before? Would you ever consider a second chance? reconciliation?

Like he did when he gave the 10 commandments, or when he wiped out the earth with a flood, then why did he need to send his son to die? Why couldn't he just demand a repentant spirit? It seems kind of unnecessary and gruesome. The animal sacrifices were infinitely less evil, and demanded an actual sacrifice on part of the sinner.

OK, give me your best shot! I'm a Pagan, I don't believe in the bible being the only truth.

Try to convince me otherwise, here are the rules:
No quoting the bible AT ALL
No speak of hell and eternal suffering
None of that "I feel it is right" or "God did this in my life"
No "God told me" or "God/Jesus says.."
You may only use 100% provable facts (Cite your source, links prefered)
No "read the bible" stuff (I have twice already)
And NO Opinionated sites
Only cold, hard, provable facts (The old "we exist" and "look at everything around you" bits are not acceptable)

10 points to whoever has the best argument, and yes a christian answer will be picked. You won't convert me but I want to see who can put forth the best effort.

Think of it as a friendly contest. No bashing each other please!

Or presentation however you word it. And no it's not a baptism or christening. It's a dedication. It's for a baby boy.

I know it seems silly, but I do. Right before my mom got hit by a car she had a tarot reading that said 'danger in the streets'. Also, right before she had me a tarot reading said she would get pregnant. And right before my Aunt died the cards said that she would lose a loved one.

Thoughts?

I think a Christian that takes depression pills is a contradiction. Since Christians are supposed to depend on God when they have problems like that.

I Corinthians 10:2-4, "And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; And did all eat the same spiritual meat; And did all drink the same spiritual drink, for they drank of that spiritual Rock that FOLLOWED THEM: and that Rock was Christ".

FOLLOWED THEM WHERE? WAS IT OUT OF EGYPT?

Exoduus 13:21 says, And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so as to go by day and night.

This is the Rock upon which the church is built. The Spiritual
Rock of revelation through Christ Jesus our Lord.

Deuteronomy 32:39, "See now that I, even I AM, he, and
there is no God besides me". Why are some trying to add another God??

Hear O Israel the Lord our God is ONE Lord! Our God is ONE!!

Thanks and God Bless You All!!

I would think knowing about how the Christian church began, how the Bible was compiled, who compiled the Bible and early Christian beliefs would behoove anyone who claims to be Christian. But apparently, this only seems to be important to Catholics. I guess that's why they are Catholic, rather than some other form of Christianity which began anytime from the 16th century to the present time.

God rested on the Sabbath, before there were humans, before there were Jews, and before the Ten Commandments were given to the Israelites by Moses, so ALL people should observe the Sabbath, right?

Why do Christians fail to honor the Sabbath day? Which is Saturday.

the only difference is King James ''virson'' replaced the word Jehovah with lord god ,,,and it uses modern english words like 'you'' instead of ''thou art''

as an atheist I do not understand why you would compare it to the book of morman(an entierly different book)and say they made the whole book up and that its a cult(of jesus followers)

intelegent anwsers please

Ok....in the episode, a patient tells House that when he had a car accident, he "died" for a minute and saw "an afterlife", with God/Jesus and everything. House, being an atheist, stuck a knife in an electric socket and died too for over a minute. He was reluctant at first to tell if he "saw anything", but at the end of the episode, revealed he hadnt and that there was nothing. Thoughts??

I've seen many white boys have been hanging around with Aisan girls, but less white girls have been with Asian boys. What do white girls think of Asian boys?

To everyone that claims to be a true Christian, Why do you attend church on Sunday instead of the true biblical sabbath.....Saturday? Why do so many Christians break the 4th commandment every week?

What is so scary about this life being all we have? I for one find that it makes life much more precious. There are a lot of people who believe there is a better life after this one... and some of these people believe they can get there by killing people who don't believe what they believe. Most of us would agree that this is wrong, but by believing that taking one life will give you a better, everlasting life, they are devaluing life itself. Similarly, to believe that this life is worthless, just a test or what not, to our "real" lives, devalues life just the same.

There is so much more to touch on in this topic but i will leave it at this. I believe that THIS life has infinite value, simply because it is the only one we get. One shot... much like the one diamond among the miles of coal, infinitely valuable because of it's rarity.

I am trying to find spirituality within myself. I am searching for something to believe in that is more than just the beliefs itself. I was raised Catholic and am now so turned off by any Christian religion. It is all too formal to me. I don't feel it in my heart, soul and mind. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? I just feel lost and don't know where to turn. Thank you. Serious, respectful answers only please.

my friends were thinking the other day.. is a word really a word unless it is spoken? if it is typed or written, is it no longer a word? is it like a picture of a word, a representation? or is it still considered a word? i'm confused! :)

It is the spirituality section. If you don't believe in a something spiritual or aren't religious, why are you here? Why waste your time convincing people of something that doesn't exist? If God doesn't exist and is a figment of one's imagination, why are you wasting your time even arguing.

God doesn't exist, end of story. Why are you wasting your time defending or arguing about something that doesn't exist.

Is basic grammar syntax and spelling being taught in schools? I am appalled when I read some of the literature that is written by teachers, and I'm in awe that businesses spend thousands of dollars on advertising with misspelled words. Classic boners that irritate me: (1) using apostrophes when making a noun plural - cat’s and dog’s (2) using “to” and “too” – “You are to funny” (3) “Me and him went to the store” (4) “There is some shoppers in the store” (5) “I don’t have nothing” (6) “My wallet was tooken” (6) “I drug the garbage can out to the street.” But my main complaint is ENUNCIATION. TV and radio reporters, advertising spokespeople, politicians, teachers, etc. constantly do not pronounce the letter “t” – innerview (interview), winner (winter), innerject (interject), innernet (internet), counny (county), sennence (sentence)…Are we that lazy to not put in that little effort to enunciate words? Are you guilty of this?
