while I was in church? (btw I was like 6 back then)
So yeah, I was sitting there one day, watching my cousin (he was like 6) dance is **** off while the guy in the robe began chanting..so I was really hungry and I slipped into the back (og the room or w/e you call it), and I ate all the bread, and drank all of the wine..
I went back to my seat though, and my parents didn't notice I was gone..although they did notice that I was acting quite weird (the wine)


Since I ate his flesh, and drank his blood, does that mean I am now Jesus himself?

...is this why I'm an Atheist ?

with Thanksgiving coming up in a few days, what are you really thankful for?? What has God done in your life?
Sometimes we need to sit back and really take a good look at where we've been and where we are now.

I am biased, as an Aussie, I have a degree at the best university in Australia. But, having graduated onto a recession I went through a school of hard knocks.

Beyond being focussed upon acknowledging Christ as Redeemer, Saviour, Lord, and God, as well as the creed as a statement of our faith, being born again, to what extent do you as an intelligent person, chose to limit your child, or children to the world of academic brilliance where Christ said that your body is a temple, and surely a secure faith can be challenged when properly called upon after prayer, and quiet time with fellowship of a church?

Is the American Christian faith weak and likely to go to extremist muslim ideology or worse still, trailor trash immorality despite many beautiful Christians living there?

In the big picture, is ignorance a vice of the devil to not properly develope the mind, to abuse God's right and privellege to have a well balanced evangilist and soldier fighting crime buying block votes?

Should men be involved in the decision-making process if they are not the father of the child being aborted?
Should men even have the right to vote on whether or not abortion ought to be legal, since they are not the ones who will be going through the abortion process, or dealing with the after-math of the abortion?
Is abortion just another way for men to oppress women??
Since birth control is so easy to get, and when it doesn't work, abortion is a simple alternative, from the guy's perspective, anyhow, why shouldn't he pressure his girlfriend to have sex, even if she doesn't feel ready? If she doesn't "put out", someone else surely will...

Would a "pro-choice" man make a good choice for a woman looking for a husband and family??

I don't know, since I have never been intimate with a "pro-choice" man.
I guess knowing that he would be willing to kill any child we might make between us is a sort of a turn -off....

for the Egyptians? They were all written by man, inspired by the gods. Besides the whole "Because God said so" is there an arguement?

"Thou shalt have no graven images," but yet it was removed from the Decalogue by the Catholics, who teach their members the terrible sin of praying to the statues of dead people, and venerate Mary, instead of Jesus. These people are dead, but Jesus lives.

You know, the guys that are always talking about "putting women on a pedestal" and "worshipping women" and so on.

Do those guys annoy you? Do you wonder if they were castrated at birth?

I'm trying to do some reading up on this. It just feels like my family tends to have a group belief. I'm having the toughest time trying to break free from it. My father has been gone for years, but his psychological influence is still with us--like we've been brainwashed. I'm afraid I've inherited things. Is this possible?

to say God is all love is to say that God even loves transgression and would forgive even the devil for mutilating God's creation (His love) for his own purpose. why do the most ignorant people seem to speak so boldly about God whom they do not know? What ever happened to the doctrine of retribution, that sin must be judged? don't people realize there is a day of judgement coming? that God sowed a sinless seed into this world through His son's blood, and He will reap a sinless generation?

In R&S, people thumbs down you just for having a different opinion or a different philosophy. The militant people on this section keep thumbs down others for having differences in faith. Who thinks that we should just abolish this corrupt system and get rid of the thumbs up/down thing?

When I ask a question about God, or sin, or Adam & Eve, some people (even atheists) accuse me of lying, or being confused, or being hypocritical, or worse! Since I'm an atheist, of course I don't believe that God exists, or sin exists, or Adam & Eve exist, so how can I ask a religious question if not from a Christian perspective? Some call it "playing Devil's Advocate" - another religious expression!

American Christians, don't you think it would be safer to allow gays to have the same marriage rights as you do, just in case God doesn't allow those who suppress the rights of others to enter Heaven?

Think about it, because you're gambling with your eternal soul!

What is more important to you, about following your religion.
Is it that you don't want to disappoint God, that you wish to stay true on his path? Or because you want to go to Paradise?
For me, I just want to be one of the faithful servants of God, the main intent in me doing good things and staying good is because I want to do it for the sake of God, not because I'm thinking about how happy i will be in heaven,
