Again, why say it's every single Muslim and every single Pakistani? I am in Pakistan right now and have been since October (8th?9th? We left the 7th) The Pakistani people around me are angry with the terrorists and are venting their frustration over how Al Qaeda keeps claiming to be Muslims when their actions are completely unislamic. I am an American white woman. The people I've met have wanted to get to know me. Children are coming up to me giving me little trinkets as gifts and I'm trying to convince them it's ok but they won't listen. I'm welcomed here with open arms. It's not all Muslims and it's not all Pakistanis. It happened in Karachi. A woman from this area was injured (we're in Pir Mahel, 2 hours from Faisalabad). The people are all saying that Islam does not forbid a woman to hold political office.

I don't know a single Muslim who backs what those evil extremists are doing. We're people too, and loss of life is always wrong. Do you see the difference?

I just have to tell my Brothers and Sisters in the Truth what my daughter and I saw this morning.

We were on the way to school and went past a church with a markee that says: "Satan's Church Exposed". We laughed so hard. I had to call an Elder and tell him. Then I took the camera and went back to snap some shots. OH, yes I did call and ask what it meant and they said there is a church called Satan's Church.

if we Christians are wrong then we just enjoyed a faith filled life and died but if you are wrong you lived a faithless empty life and went to hell.

if we are wrong like you say we just sleep forever,if we are right we live forever and you will be tormented forever.

my question is do you ever ask yourself this question and if you do what lie do you tell yourself?

Looking for honest answers here.

I'm wondering what Christians these days in school do when they have to take a test/quiz and have a question involving "millions of years" or some other secular belief. Do you take a stand for what you know is correct when it's your grades on the line?

Please post those verses that support this bigotry. I am hoping that maybe out there is one person who is considering Christianity.

Is this a religion that you want to be a part of?

IS THIS THE KIND OF 'GOD" THAT IS WORTH LOVING?

Guidelines:

The first 5 serious atheists who respond to the question "Christianity vs. Atheism," which is more reasonable," will be "qualified" to be the question selected to provide a counter to my claim that I believe Christianity is more evident, therefore reasonable, than a belief in a lack of belief in atheism. The 1 counter response I will respond to will be selected among the first 5 responses, according to who's response entices 5 thumbs up with 0 thumbs down first, or the one with the best thumbs up to thumbs down ratio after 10 minutes. Note: Anyone can vote as to which of the first 5 atheists responses is the best response. The same rules apply for every counter-response during the rest of the debate. This debate can last 20 minutes, or 7 days, I will continue until everyone is done responding.

I'd like to thank everyone in advance for participating, and let's have some fun!

If anyone has any suggestions on how to make this debate more orderly, let me know.

I was forced through catholic school, somehow being something that felt like a divine cult or group, as I grew I began to ask questions, like, why should I feel guilty about being sexually attracted to the opposite sex

so I began to ask questions

sexual thoughts were dirty, and evil, according to the divine teachings of god, himself, or itself?

as I asked more questions I gained more knowledge, through this knowledge I found power

power to live my life free from regime and cult-like order

but one question remains

why did my religion threaten me with hell, if I did not follow it?

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, design a building, write a sonnet, ballance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate and analyze a problem, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently and to die gallantly. Specialization is for insects. Who wrote this?? I think it packs a bunch of weight.

That may be true but due to the fact that the blood of Jesus is sort of scarce these days don't you think it might be best to take the vaccination.

How can you justify calling "six days" more than six days, etc...? What makes you think God didn't mean exactly what he said?

If you could stand up and correct 2 or 3 misperceptions that people have about your church, what would it be?

I'll start: the Roman Catholic church does NOT pray to statues/worship the Blessed Virgin Mary, and we do NOT rely on "works alone" nor "faith alone" to get us into the Kingdom of Heaven.

Your turn.
