It seems Christians are alleged to be brainwashed or gullible, not ever choosing to be Christians (or choosing to continue to be) freely and thoughtfully. Is this true?

you know how Atheists and Christians fight and different sects of Christiany fight and Christians and Muslims fight and Atheists and Muslims fight...

well, every now and then a troll comes along....and unites us. and i think it shows us who on the "other side of our fences" are good sensible people. i have made friends with many a christian on this cite from uniting against trolls. anyone else think they actually do us a service? or would it be better if they were all gone.

i see so many people that believe in differen't religions. like one will believe in Buddha and another will believe in God. my question is how can you be sure which one (any religion in particular) is real? which one is true? like Iraqis believe in Buddha or Alah and Spanish believe in God and Mary. what makes people believe in any religion? it would be very helpful to me if you DID NOT give me your personal opinion but tell me what you'd say if you were not nessacarily religious. does that make sense?

Most are brainwashed, but the rest are just UNCREATIVE. They think the ONLY possible Creator of this Universe is a God they read of from a book over a thousand years old that's been corrupted by over 40 writers.

Christians might just have a low Creativity IQ, but many are not as brainwashed as they appear...

Would you follow these?

1. Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked.
2. Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure they want to hear them.
3. When in another’s lair, show him respect or else do not go there.
4. If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy.
5. Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal.
6. Do not take that which does not belong to you unless it is a burden to the other person and he cries out to be relieved.
7. Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself.
8. Do not harm little children.
9. Do not kill non-human animals unless you are attacked or for your food.
10. When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him.

Ya know how you feel about these rules? A lot of others feel the same way about yours. Comments?

Obviously it's not illegal, but I am aware Americans might have some cultural hang-ups about near nudity, especially with males.

The following is an exact translation of the doctrine of the Church of Rome as taught today in all Roman Catholic seminaries, colleges and universities, through the Summa Theologica of Thomas Aquinas, vol. iv., p. 90:

"Though heretics (Protestants) must not be tolerated because they deserve it, we must bear with them till, by the second admonition, they may be brought back to the faith of the church. But those who, after a second admonition, remain obstinate to their errors, must not only be excommunicated, but they must be delivered to the secular power to be EXTERMINATED."
Organized religion is the scum of the earth. They make people of genuine faith look bad. When did Jesus speak of delivering ANYBODY to be exterminiated? These individuals are no different than Hitler or Stalin. They are genocidal maniacs. Basically, their philosophy above states, 'Either agree with us, or we will throw you to the wolves to be eaten alive'. Jesus came to give LIFE (John 10:10). Why is this so?

So most Christians here think Jesus was God in flesh, and before he got put up on the cross he felt scared.

Ive read that people think it was his flesh that got scared since he was human..and not really Him because Gods not afraid of anything.

isnt it a blasphemy to suggest that God, who is One, became a duality: flesh and soul?

Now people always say Jesus was born on Christmas, but I don't see that in the bible. I don't even see a date. Maybe I'm hallucinatin'. Can anybody show me some scriptural evidence that Jesus was born December 25th.
