You never see atheists on the street screaming about NOT believing in god.

I see no end of people claiming that atheists and the like cry out to the Judeo-Christian god when they exclaim "Oh my god!" but what is it exactly that draws them to that conclusion?

The _my_ part of the exclamation obviously denotes that the person saying it is refering to their god, whoever that may be, and not necessarily the deity who claims monopoly on the use of the 'god' title.

Of course this is all completely ignoring the fact that it can be meant to be entirely exclamatory and not at all imply that the person saying it even believes in deities.

So can we please stop with the claims that "all cry out to God", as well as that lame bear 'joke' that keeps cropping up that isn't funny?

'Twas the month before Christmas
When all through our land,
Not a Christian was praying
Nor taking a stand.

See the PC Police had taken away,
The reason for Christmas - No one could say.
The children were told by their schools not to sing,
About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.

It might hurt people's feelings, the teachers would say
December 25th is just a " Holiday ."
Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit
Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!

CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-pod
Something was changing, something quite odd!
Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa
In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda.

As Targets were hanging their trees upside down
At Lowe's the word Christmas - was nowhere to be found.
At K-Mart and Staples and Penny's and Sears
You won't hear the word Christmas;
it won't touch your ears.

What excites you about Thanksgiving, Merry Holiday and Happy New Year?

We see in Genesis Ch 1 vs 1 that God created the Heavens and the earth and that it was a perfect creation to match the One Who created it.

Vs 2 is interesting because the earth had "Become" void and wasted and that darkness was over the face of the DEEP.
What is this Deep that the bible refers to?
It also mentions that the Spirit of God brooded over the surface of the waters.
Where did this water come from?
What took place between Genesis Chapter 1 between verses one and two.
Something quite incredible since the earth changed from being perfect to becoming wasted and void.
Water seems to be one of the ways that God judges the earth, by covering it with it.
He said something interesting to Noah in Genesis.. that He wil not judge the earth AGAIN by water

Please open up in your sharing of this matter.
I am particularly interested in knowing whether the earth was once judged by water prior to the flood in Noah's time.

Ty in advance
In Christ

Yesterday Evening, a Jehova's Witness gentleman handed me a copy of a Watchtower and we spoke for a few minutes.
I told him I was Muslim and I think Jesus was great Prophet.
He responded that the problem with Muslims is that they serve two different Gods...the God Jehovah and Stae politics.
I told him that Islam is a way of life and our religion includes positive politics.
He replied that politics is of the devil and getting involved is against God's will.
Is he correct; does God wants us to serve him and ignore the politics in our daily lives?

I've read a lot of answer on here from people who say they are Christian that I don't agree with. I would like to know how many of you believe that once you are saved you can do anything and continue to be saved? What makes you believe this? Is it being taught at your church?

Unlike the Bible that has numerous archaeological support and references, the Book of Mormon cannot list any single shred of evidence to prove the truthfulness of Joseph Smith, Jr.'s revelation historically. They have not even unearth any single artifact to prove that Lamanites and Nephites do exist. They love to argue that Hittites, Jebusites, Ammonites, and other people groups in the Bible also do not exists. What they do not understand was the mention and existence of the Israelites is enough solid evidence already to prove these people groups do exists. No respectable historical society will back-up the claims of Joseph Smith, Jr in reference to the Book of Mormon. James White responded to a Mormon reader, "I invite anyone interested to read [William] Hamblin's own words, to see if there is 'ample evidence' provided. None exists.... all the feelings in the world will not make Mormonism historically true, nor rescue Joseph Smith from the verdict of the Bible and history.

For example, if we genetically altered people so that their limbs grow back when amputated, or so that they are smarter or they have less chance of catching diseases or increased strength, would that be immoral?

I cant get over how many people on this forum do not love God or even recognize him as existing. I want to tell people about the Gospel of Christ before it is too late. Anyone with me?

Take the words of Dr. Siegfried. T. Raumann of The Academy for Religionistic Truth:

"Atheist are just another word for Darwinist. The athiest religion is simply LACK OF FAITH and they have so MUCH faith in their LACK of faith that they have to have faith in Darwin's faith. Darwin belived in God when he died so they are liers. The other Athiest religion is HATE OF GOD"

(From the book "Lieing Athiest is Really Closed Minded Religionist", 1992, Dr. S. T. Raumann)


So, are athiest just closed-minded religionist?

They are always going on about us being "sinful" and "wicked" and are somehow convinced that we deserve eternity in a fiery hell for not doing what we are told, and for behaving in ways that are natural to us. Is that not a bit sad?
