Hi, I have a question for you all. do you expect presents for your birthday?? the reason I ask is that in my family we buy our mother a present and take her to dinner. when I was born my mother was in labor for 21 hours and I did nothing, why is she supposed to buy me presents every year? I know people who don't even thank their mothers on their birthdays. let me know your thoughts. thanks!

Ofcourse Chrisitianity and Buddhism are two distinct religions with two different aspects to life.

However, both got one great man in them; namely Jesus and Buddha.

Now one thing is for certain, both men actually lived.

The question is whether they were as divine as scriptures claim or not.

There are lots of scriptures on how Jesus was able to split the ocean or turn a wand into a snake while Budhha had golden aura covering Him before dying.

So what I want to know is; with all the scriptures and history tellings of Buddha having aura and being free of karma; do you believe the story of of Him is true and do you agree with his teachings on reincarnation and etc.?

Note that you Christians rely on all the books and scriptures on Jesus' history to claim His validity.

Therefore I assume you would treat Buddhism with the same manner?

So if you don't believe in His stories with all the writings why would you believe in Jesus' stories when they are basically equal?

Okay, I know it says, "Go ye into all the world making disciples of all nations....."
However few among us actually do THAT so where does it say we have to go to our neighbor who few people know anyway?

After the hateful post by a proclaimed Christian, I flipped back to my mail and a person who said they were Christian had added me to their contacts. They had a few Christians that I know in their contacts, but none of my Atheist, Pagan or friends from other belief systems were there. Their email was not open. I only took a moment to go through their Q&A history before I decided it was more important to get them out than to worry about offending them.

Hey, first of all I know progetizise is not spelled like that, but I don't know how to spell it correctly. Well people have told me stuff that god has tell them, I've done that but I feel like I can't profetizise and I really need to be delivered. I'm christian and I love god, I left the world, but since I haven't been delivered the demons always put me back to the world. Do you think if I get delivered from all the bad spirits, I'll be able to be closer to god??

So I'm wondering how far up people believe the "lies" go. I've seen people write that most Mormons don't know what we believe in and that our leaders cover things up. Which leaders? Local leaders, regional leaders, national leaders, worldwide leaders? how far up do people think this conspiracy goes?

I have never been a very religious person. I do believe in the Bible even tho I honestly havent read the entire book. I guess what I am saying is that I feel so lost, depressed and very unhappy. Im 38 now and feel like it has been wasted time. Everyone says "Pray" go to church etc etc etc.... I do want to change but how?

What way would you have a christian approach you with a question for honest debate? It seems like many people here seem to get riled up really easily. Do you immediately get leery of answering a question if you sense it is being asked by a christian and assume you will be rebuffed or ridiculed?

And the same question applies for Christians in reverse of course.
