I'm not saying let them into Heaven, but he could easily create a middle ground where they could live forever without being burned by eternal flames.

This prayer really shouldn't interfere with his divine plan more than any other prayers. In fact, God may like it when he sees how caring you are.

After all, most non-Christians are just imperfect human beings who were not convinced about the reality of Jesus.

So would you pray that God will let all those people out of Hell? You know, give them some ho-hum place that isn't Heaven and isn't Hell?

Because from what I understand, Moses and his people killed a lot of people on the way to the "Promised Land" just because they woulndn't let them pass through their land. Why was God ok with this and never punished them for killing so many innocent people.

Let's look at the Christian rules:

1) I have free will to worship/obey god, or not.

2) There are no alternatives to god (i.e. no other gods.) I can ONLY embrace god, OR reject god.

3) Once I am aware of the Christian god, I MUST choose

4) I can not "opt out".

So let's say my entire life I've neither acknowledged god's existence, nor rejected him. He's just a non-issue... something I never once thought about or considered. According to Christianity, if I don't decide by my death to embrace god, by default I am damned, even if I never once actively thought "god I reject you."

Logically, was I given a FAIR choice? The second I was exposed to the knowledge of god's existence, WHETHER I WANTED THIS KNOWLEDGE OR NOT, I was then forced to make a choice which I wasn't forced to make prior to that exposure. So in reality, god (or his followers) took my freedom away from me, because now I have to choose!

What happened to my FREE will?

ok.. I am a Christian... last night I had a horrific dream. I was trying to protect my family from a group of men that were on a mission to murder me and my family. after one failed another would come to try. It never ended. I even saw myself killing some of these men. My children were not in the dream and either were my animals but they were a big part of the dream. This was so vivid that I even remember one of the men hiding in a dead flower bed with sod over himslef to hide. I saw the movement and shoved something in his neck.

A bit about my life lately.... I work 6 days a week and yes, I am exhausted. ( i slept til 3:30 this afternoon dreaming this dream). I have 2 kids at home with me. My son isnt doing well in school and my daughter broke her wrist 2 weeks ago. I am also trying to stop a forclosure on my house...
I tell myself that stress caused this dream, but dang... how violent and graphic it was.

man, what a crappy engineer. in the past few centuries, look at the technological advancements made by humans, from the transistor to the airplane to countless others. look at god's. they haven't changed since the big bang. is god just stupid, or is he lazy? since nowadays it is clear that evolution created life; god just made the materials (the argument by religious to compensate for their defeat on evolution) so don't say "god made life". what a lazy turd.

Why do people pray to Jesus instead of God? Shouldn't we be praying straight to God? Isn't God the one who answers our prayers?

I thank you for your prayers.

I think many Christians hate the fact that many Atheists know the bible as well as them or better and find it extremely difficult to form any type of counter answer to points brought up. All I beleive Christians sincerly don't like anyone messing with their contructs of reality. What do you think?
