I saw this documentary on the bible and its interpretations by different churches. It showed different churches in the united states. Some of them i would not even call churches. They are more like large rooms with some guy singing in the microphone and giving some BIZARRE interpretations of the bible, while the people who attend these places are totally into this stuff and almost fall into a trans. This to me does not seem like christianity. it can be compared, in my view, to african tribal beliefs in some cases. I come from Serbia, so my english might not be so good, because i am not a native speaker. I am not that religious eather, but i do attend church from time to time, for traditional reasons, but also to pray. Our church has been the same since it was founded in 1219, and does not offer interpretations of the bible. our priests read sections of the bible word to word, with NO INTERPRETATION. and the rest of the time is spent in prayer. THIS SEEMS LIKE CHRISTIANITY TO ME

Suppose you are in a mission setting, on outreach, so stuck there, and the leadership appears to be more manipulative than you thought. The leadership style becomes more like the Sheparding Movement, and just talks about covering and being accountible to them. The atmosphere is without trust.

According to the book of Exodus the REAL 2nd Commandment is "Thou shalt not make unto me any graven images or any likeness of anything that is in the heaven above, in the earth beneath and is in the water under the earth." It also adds "Thou shalt not bow down to them nor serve them, For I the Lord thy God am a jealous God".

So does splitting the 2nd commandment and replacing it with a lie an act of blasphemy??!?!

All of the so-called proof as of now can be explained through other means. I would say the main source of evidence would be the Bible but this is outdated and it has been rewritten many times so it can't be entirely trusted. I mean, I could write a fictional book on how we came to be, and in 6000 years once the real information was lost, it could be taken as fact. So my questions are; Why is it so hard for God to show some sign of actually being the creator? Why is it left up to faith alone. If he wants what's best for everyone wouldn't it make sense to prove he was real? This way everyone would praise him and wouldn't be sent to hell. I am an Atheist, but if I knew that God was my creator then of course I would change. Would God not want me to? I want actual answers, not just "God doesn't exist."

Right, so i'm trying to move forward in life, and to do so I feel like I need to tell *someone* the more serious things i've done wrong in the past. Since I don't have anyone in the 'real world' who I want to talk to about such things, i'm posting them here.

I hope no-one asks for this Q to be deleted, and that readers can understand thst i'm just trying to clear my concience and get some Christian guidance as to where to go next.

So, without further ado, my confessions:
- Stole about £2000 worth of drugs
- Pulled a knife on a guy who jumped my friend
- Put a knife to a guys throat 'cause he wouldn't stop bugging me to have sex with him
- Made out with him anyway for free drugs
- Made out with another guy to get hold of his Gold creditcard
- Kicked a guys shins in with steel toe-capped boots and then pushed him into a road because he tried to knife my friend
- Committed about £5,000 worth of fraud between the ages of 12 and 18, and an additional £3000 in fraudulent mobile

my friend and I just had a big fight... i am still furious. he claims that Home alone 2 is the best X-mas movie of all time which is ridiculous, because home alone 1 was way better and had more X-Mas spirit. proof:
- more x-mas spirit for the booby traps like stepping on ornaments
- kevin mccallister meets with santa to ask for his family back... but where is santa in home alone 2???
- etc

so what is the answer for the greatest x-mas movie of all time... home alone 1 or 2?????!

You're speeding along with no idea how you got there and you think momentarily "Gosh, I don't even want to be here." But there you are, on a roller coaster, speeding along the track.

In the distance you see that the track splits off in a couple thousand directions (let's say for argument's sake 2500), with each new stretch of track headed with a sign that says "DO NOT TAKE THE OTHER TRACKS!!!"

In a confused panic, you realize that only one can be the correct track and all others must be traps (if any at all are correct).

You examine the different tracks the best you can as you race toward the point of no return. There's really not much difference. You see only minor, superficial differences. You try to pick the one that looks the sturdiest according to your inherently finite perspective and you choose.

They both promise to deliver something of which there is absolutely no proof to back up.

If the person taking the snake oil truly believed in its healing properties and effectiveness, I see no difference in the two.

Please enlighten me as to how I've erred in this conclusion.

Simply because I don't believe in Christianity?

Wouldn't you find it disturbing if I thought that you deserved to choke for an eternity for not being an atheist?
