Ok christians, if your Jesus is the same as your god and your Jesus died on a cross for "our sins".
Why? Exactly what debt was he paying and to whom, by sacrificing himself if he is supposed to be your supreme being?

This miserable rant about how Jesus was coming and all the Christians would disappear and on and on....I thought I'd died and gone to hell just reading it! Please Christers, you're not qualified to try and save me through Y'A's inter-office memo
service......now THAT is abuse. Many of us spiritual people who don't subscribe to your" flavor", and flagrant flaunting of God's will, will.....proceed quite peacefully to the heaven of our own design........WITHOUT YOUR HELP! You meant well, God Bless you anyway......but you are SO arrogantly exclusionary
of the MAJORITY OF THE WORLD'S RELIGIONS!

I would say I am part of this movement. I think there really should be a "Christian left." Why? There are many strong, practicing christians that tend to vote democrat. Just seing if anyone out there agrees with me?

Both Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox Church leaders make the identical claim that they gave the world the Bible.
If both the Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches make the same claim they gave the world the Bible, why do they have different books in each of their Bibles?
Who should we believe?

If a friend dies you will miss out on their company for a while, until you join them, and if you die you would miss your friends until they joined you... But really, it must be so much harder for those who don't believe in it to lose somone. To them, the person is gone forever and their death means the end of them forever.

Religious nonsense that is. Can't get enough of it? Does it entertain you? Is it more maddening or amusing? Is there a thought in your head that you may possibly be able to rationalize with the irrational? (The irony!)

I personally have hit a brick wall. I used to browse these boards and others alike solely in pursuit of good philosophical conversation. It took me a while but I've finally concluded that such conversations are far and few in between especially on these boards.

Tell me if this looks familiar-

Christian- God is great, he loves you, this book told me so. So if you're really good and if you say sorry for being the horrible person we all know you are, god will let you worship him for all eternity. (don't forget to pay your 10%)

Atheist/agnostic- I'm smart for figuring out that bull5hit is bull5hit (pats self on back.)

3rd party- You're both going to hell unless of course you read this book and follow the directions carefully. Praise (insert deity here).
