No joke, but if it wasn't for them I would of been one, odd but true. They helpped me keep my faith just seeing what they had to say...which didn't make any sense for some reason.
I went into an atheist chat room, very interesting point of views.


But am glad they do exist.

So how are all of you tonight?
Anything new happening tomorrow.

If God reveals himself to you, what would be your reaction?
would you ask for repentance?
and would you then be interested in learning about the 3 major religions to know more?

If you do and tell about actual experiences that you have seen about the religion then you get reported?

Are they both very insecure about their beliefs that they can not stand the truth about what a person may experience or see that their religions are like?

several times
I;ve heard people say when you hate someone,its cos you see something about your self in that person

I COULDNT DISAGREE more,
please,the only time/thing I hate about people are people who have no consideration for others
I can honestly say, as God is my witnes that I have at all times ALWAYS shown a great compassion for all people for all reasons,and this is why it sickens me so that,I DO HATE those that dont have this

SO,please...can someone explain the origin of this very ignorant statement..that when you dislike someone,its cos its something in you??
REALLY sometimes we dont like people cos we are nothing like them,and cant comprehend their evil ways??

I'm having problems finding stocking stuffers for my 22 year old boyfriend. He's pretty intent on getting one, but I don't know what to put in it. I bought a gift certificate for HMV and some chocolate...
But other than that, I'm lost...

Ideas?

I got into Christianity for awhile earlier this year... I was the biggest bible thumper you've ever seen... KJV all the way, I read that book inside and out, but all of my Christian friends, they hardly ever read the bible, they think all they need is blind faith, even doing things the bible totally forbids is ok if you have "faith."

Several told me they didn't even need a book. After I got out of it, and started showing a Christian friend all of the fallacies in the bible, one told me he didn't need that "stupid book" (a Christians words not mine)... all he needed was his faith in an imaginary being......

Anyways glad I got out of that crap, I can't believe I fell for your story about the SUN in the first place.

I don't get it. They aren't sure God/dess exists, and that is their right. It almost seems like some people want to force them to make a choice, or think they are ridiculous for not doing so. Why?

how can an atheist accept death in life is the end of one's existence and still live a fullfilling and motivated life?

It doesn't matter if you are religious or not, atheist or theist, or whatever though I would like to hear from Christians For the record, I am an atheist. :)

I was having a discussion with a person at the office who is a Baptist. His belief is that Baptists are the true and original Christians. The others are not true Christians. In his view, any person who kills someone for any kind of gain (eg. Soldiers in Iraq and Afghanisthan) is not a Christian. Only those who passively submit to death, like Christ did, for the advancement of Christianity is a true Christian. Of course, the discussion went on for a while and there were lots of answers that he gave that was contradictory. One that he stated was that killing in self-defence is okay as long as it was not for Christianity. Huh? I respect his views even though none of it made any sense.

Thank you. :)

...an atheist?

I normally don't get involve in religious flame wars, and have no intention here.. this is just a simple question.

Why do I see a pattern of answers here that seem to reflect that the assumption that if you're not Christian, you're an atheist? Is this some automatic conclusion, as though if you're not Christian you automatically don't believe in any god/gods/higher power?

I don't know WHY I'm asking this, I'm probably going to get flamed for it.. and no, I'm not attacking anyone's religious beliefs, nor do I want to hear about how "Christianity is the only true religion". But I guess this is just me thinking about all the Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, New Agers, Pagans, Spiritualists, and any other religions I may have forgotten.

Just because one doesn't practice Christianity doesn't make one an atheist. So why do people assume?

I think in the "mother language". But since deaf people cannot hear, they can't learn how to speak a language. Nevertheless, they must think in some language. Would they think in mother language if they use sign language and read mother language? How would they do that if they've never heard the words they are signing or reading pronounced? Or maybe they just see words in their head, instead of hearing themselves?

There are a few people on here that are just obsessed with answering every mormon question and taking advantage of tearing down mormons at every turn? What's the point? Do they really think they are going to change anyones beliefs with this approach?

This question can apply to anyone that seems to be obsessed with proving another group wrong or tearing them down whenever they have the chance.

While sitting lift your right leg off of the floor and rotate in a clockwise motion. While doing this ''draw'' a number 6 in the air with your right hand without stopping your leg from rotating.
I can't do it and I have tried several times.

I know that in some cultures, the left hand is considered unclean because it is used to clean after going to the toilet. Was this the case 2000 years ago in Jerusalem?

I posted several posts refering to some scientific studies I had read and I was lamblasted by a lot of people who were very derogatory and arrogant.

What I have noticed in their posts and on www.talkorigins.org is that ever time good solid scientific evidence is presented that SEEMS to contradict the evolutionary theory, they go ballistic.

They go into panic mode as if someone had insulted their mother or threatened the life of their wife and children. They circle the wagons of ignroance and bigotry and refuse to listen to anything else.

Simply put they have a chip on their shoulder, and if you even breathe a word of disagreement they are insulted and lash out.

I have been asking about this in the past few days and the knee-jerk reaction has been amazing to watch.

People like me have read the Bible. We have accepted the truth of God's Word that He created the World. It is logical. True Science backs this up. But a lot of people are threatened by this.

K. Me and a mormon kid have an argument. I am christian and i asked him "if you guys believe in the same bible and you are not allowed to drink alcohol than how come jesus and his deciples drank wine at his last diner?" He replied with "back then there was no alcohol in wine it was grape juice." does anybody know a verse in the bible that states someone being drunk?

Why is it that blasphemy against the Holy Ghost, is an unforgivable sin??


Does that not proof that the Holy Ghost, is God; and your continued resistance to the testimony of Truth even here at this place may tantamount to blasphemy to the Holy Spirit when you DO NOT acknowledge the present working of the Holy Spirit testifying Truth to your conscience???

We lived in different states but when I'd go see him we were best friends. He taught me everything about life. When he was a young man he joined the Air force when I was 21 I joined the Army. He really wanted me to go into the Air force but we would share stories and related to each other on a new level. When he got the Alzheimer's he never forgot about our stories although he thought it was 1943 and I was over seas. He always asked how I liked doing KP kitchen patrol. His favorite thing was asking me how many potatos I peeled today. I didn't have the heart to tell them we used boxed potatoes or a machine peeler. He was the greatest man that ever lived and from the greatest generation. I never seen him lose his temper. I must pick up the phone twice a day to call him and now, well now it's just me and my memories of the greatest man ever. Thanks for listening folks. And if you still have a grandpa or grandma for gods sake call them and say I love you.
