I am curious, if you don't believe in the existance of god, How do you think the Universe came to be? I know, the Big Bang, I believe that theory to. But with out a higher power, that could not have happened. How about life. How did it all start and how is it we are able to still exist and evolve? Why did all the planets line up around the sun like they did in the solar system with out a god to guide them into place?
The theorys don't make sense with out a god.
Keep this in mind to: If you live your life and believe in god, but you die and he does not exist, you have lost nothing. However, if you live life believing he does not exist and die and see that he does, you have lost every thing! Now you will burn in Hell forever!
If you don't believe in god, you better hope to HELL you are right! If you don't believe, then please don't celebrate Christmas, Easter, Chaunaka or any other religious hollidays!!

In the on-going arguments between believers and nonbelievers, the nonbelievers consistently bring up the issue of burden of proof, e.g. "prove that your God exists" or "there is no more proof of your God than there is of Santa".

But D.T. Niles defined evangelism as “ just one beggar telling another beggar where to find bread.” There is no debate here. If the other person doesn't want the bread, then no amount of argument will suffice.

The debate that might concern the question of burden of proof will properly be taken up by our Creator if He exists. Are unbelievers really just developing a defense strategy just in case they come face to face with their Creator the day they die?

For example:
You are stranded alone with complete strangers on a deserted island. Immediately leaders come forward and start spouting their beliefs (which you do not normally subscribe to) to everyone. The leaders are very charismatic and soon almost everyone is following them. Would you follow too? Do you think you would be able to keep from being swayed by them? What would make you different from the other castaways?

In the early Catholic church, the church was face with a problem of losing their vast cumulative wealth to inheritance. To prevent losing land and wealth to inheritance, the Church imposed celibacy.

The result was centuries of systematic sex crimes behind the curtain. Many old literature commonly shows priests having bastand children. With the mondern technology, no longer these cover ups were easy for the Church; thus, number of new and young priests has dropped and the Catholic church faces great danger of diminishing number of priests as old priests die and no young priests able to handle real celibat life.

Most of you offer me a promise, something that is very tempting. A solution to all of life's problems. An eternal life full of love and no remorse no regrets.. A chance to be with dead loved ones, to be happy for eternity.

But what frustrates me is, that it is a lie. That it is false, and you have not done the research to realize this. You try to spread such "love" to me an others when it is false.

You have not tried to examine your beliefs in an honest manner and continue to tell it as truth.

I've tried to follow your religion. I've researched it. It is false, and you are lying when you say it is all true. What frustrates me is that you speak as an authority when you haven't even researched your religion with an honest approach.

For some reason I feel sorry for her because she seemed like a very nice girl and she could have went to school being someone different. My question is why do women choose such jobs exposing themselves? Don't they feel degraded? I dont understand...Is it just me or does everyone see strippers as hoes, sluts etc..I see strippers as normal human beings trying to make a living but why a stripper? She was so young too......:(

I have recently read some of the stuff that speaks of the Roman Catholic Church as being of pagan origin, the Whore of Babylon, that they force celibacy on the priests and several other things of this sort. I decided to check out what the catholics had to say on the matter and discovered that many of the arguments against the Roman Catholic Church by Protestants are now being used by atheists against Christians in general.

Please see the works of; Alexander Hislop, Jack Chick, Dave Hunt, and Loraine Boettner. It will be found that many of the atheist arguments against Christianity are directly taken from the works of these Christians. Kind of amusing though that they have to rely on us to give them the ammo to fire at us. We should be ashamed.

Once again, who is the #1 enemy of Christians?

What happens to "them all" in Luke 17:27,28?
What happens to "them" in 1Thessalonians 5:3?
What happens to "them" in Gen 2:1...James 1:15?

Who are "them all" = "this generation" of Adam(s)?
Who are "us all" = "the generation" of Jesus-->Christ?
Why is there no them all, no them vs them, in us-ward?

(Acts 13:39) All sins can be forgiven.
(Mark 3:29) Cursing or blaspheming the Holy Spirit is unforgivable.

If those are words of God how come He contradicts Himself?

Ofcourse there are thousand of contradictions in the Bible but lets just focus on one.

Can you Christians explain to me how God is not contradicting Himself?

NOTE:

I have not studied the Bible thoroughly and I am not going to.
I am taking it out of context.
There you go. Don't bother telling me to study the Bible or I am reading out of context.
If already knew the answer I wouldn't be asking you Christians to help would I?

Give me your best shot in explaining just one contradiction without trying to avoid my question or comment on my grammar or something.
