"If you believe in God, you're mistaken. If you don't believe in God, you're mistaken. Agnostics, it goes without saying, are mistaken. Now, do you believe in God?"

I cannot figure out what it is trying to say.
I think the quote is by Robert Allen.

Muslims are no wiser for being Muslim. Jews are no wiser for being Jewish. NON-CHRISTIANS ARE NO WISER FOR BEING NON-CHRISTIAN. They all go to hell!

I use the word "canon" to imply a compendium of wisdom or moral/ethical guidance. The final document need not be philosophically unified so anything goes.

Smart Atheists only please, who think they know it all?
Do you have a proof you are alive? or even ever been born? Do you have a proof?
You could be just part of the Matrix and you are delusion of it!
If you are so sure of other religion and their beliefs! shouldn't you at least be sure of what or who you Are!

Atheists insult others all the time, and keep asking others to prove there is a God. But, when someone ask them a question. It gets deleted.
Why Atheist can make fun of others, and they get defensive if they can't answer?
You are here and alive, and you can't prove who you are. How can you claim there is no God if you can't prove what you are?

This just proves it. There is no freedom of speech. or, does it mean you can dish it out, but you can't take it?

I've only been around her once, we met at a concert a few months ago. My bf and I aren't very serious; we've been together about a year and a half, but are taking things very slow. His mom isn't rude, but she doesn't really like anyone her son is with. She bought me a cute bracelet for my birthday two months ago. So anyway, does this mean I should buy her something for Christmas? I have no problem doing so, I just don't want to look stupid if I do or don't... Thanks!!!

OK,i am stupid and I deserve nothing more than Hell,but why does God force us to love Him?Its like-''Obey me,or you are going to suffer in Hell''.If I was God I would create a place for those who dont want me,but it will be a place where you are alone with others like you and you dont enjoy anything.Like a room where you are stuck with people and you cant get out,but without the fire punishments,etc.But this will be for those who only reject me,but are good people. For those who are really
evil and that are scum I would create place where they will suffer.So why are we forced to like Him?

Just curious on how some of you feel that I'm going to a private Catholic nursing school when I am Athiest.
I love the school it is one of the best ones here. I know of course they accept all students but was wondering how others felt. Thanks.

also called glossolalia.
Do you believe this gift is still alive and well, or do you believe that it died with the last Apostle?

if so, do you consider yourself a pentecostal (usual the only denomination that supports this gift in current days)?

We say that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west .this stament is based on the phenomenon we see every day .We the sun appearing in the horizen evedry morning in the directionwe call the east and sinking down in tehopposite direction we call the west .It is this impression tha tmade people believe that the solar system is geo-centric and the earth is in the center and the Sun is moving around it . It was this impressioin that was responsible for Galeleo being killed for confirming the finding of copernicus that the earth was going around the sun.Even before copernicus , Aryabhatta , the great Indian mathematician, said that the movement of the sun is just like the trees standing on the banks of a lake appearing to move away from us as we row oer a boat in th eriver .Thugh it was the boat that moves , it is the trees that on the bank that appear to move .Thesun is stationary .So it never rises or sets .

of another. Deuteronomy 24:16 - Every man shall be put to death for his own sins. Ezekiel 18 - The soul that sinneth, it shall die.
Let's not misinterpret the scriptures to prop up a misguided religion.

My sister in law was recently hired at my company as the HR Assistant. I really don't feel comfortable with her knowing how much I make and would like to express this discomfort to the HR Director, her boss. The only thing is, it's only the two of them that work in the HR department and I don't want this to get back to my sister inlaw (they are both gossip queens). What should I do? Are there any rights that would protect a family member's information in the workplace?

In John 19 when Jesus is about to be crucified, Pilate says he has the authority to decide if Jesus would be crucified or not. How come he never let him go if he had that authority? I am a Christian, and I know Christ had to die for us. But I'm confused and would like more on the topic so I can understand my pastor's sermons all the more better. Thanks in advance! :]

time and time again, i read a christian answer that says "godless heathens live without morals" or some other quote that amounts to the same thing. do christians really believe they are the only ones with morals? seems kind of sad to me if they do. also a bit arrogant and hypocritical, eh?

now before i get an answer that says: "non-christians are arrogant and hypocritical, too", please try to stay focused and dont go off on a tangent. thanks in advance.

Why is it that some people refuse to open their minds and educate themselves on other religions and beliefs in the world? Why is it that Christians especially feel a need to "save" others, and that they are the only religion ? I find it sad that there are so many people so closed-minded to the idea that there are many races, cultures and beliefs out there. Why do Christians have to try to convert and spread the word and force their ideas on others? Can't they just believe what they want without trying to "save" others? Why must Christianity be like that? Why can't we all just get along!

I keep seeing so many questions on here that lead to Christians having such hate for athiests, and anyone NOT of their faith, yet MOST other faiths are SO MUCH more forgiving and open minded to other beliefs?

Do you think that Christians are brainwashed and forced into this way of thinking from early childhood? Is there ANYTHING that can open their minds, and stop these thoughts?

Many people refuse to accept evolution as a proven fact but why would scientists lie?
What would they possibly hope to gain by these lies?
It doesn't give them any power over others or tell people how to live their lives.
So why would they lie?

human life is a fortune and the future depends on the line we choose at the present movement ,we know the scientist worked hard and the their energy fruits we are enjoying to day
saints also leads a fortunate life with all their dedication and worship to god -and may born with all fortunes in the future birth- as we experience that some born with silver spoon in their mouth , as a common person we prefer both are important and preferable ,but for the lay man to choose which way is better
