Seriously... i'm sick of people being racist. Everyone in the world has something in them which you don't have! Why can't some people respect those who have different skin colours? I just hate racist people... they are the true people who should burn in hell!

So anyways if you're racist explain to me what have other races done to you to make you hate them? Are you racist because you think they're ugly? Are you racist because you don't have any manners? Or is it because you're a stuck up person who only cares about your own race?

According to Christians, Joshua Bar Yusef ( the real name of Jesus Christ) is the same enitity as the Old Testament Jewish god(s) YHWY and/or El who Chrsitians refer to as God the father.
From reading the bible it seems that JBY was a peaceful, and rather good entity, epitimised by his turn the other cheek attitude. I don't understand how he can be the same entity as the Old testament God who seems rather violent and evil. For example in Judges 11 (28-39) Jepthah makes a deal with God to make a human sacrifice by burning in exchange for a military victory, and God ends up accepting the sacrifice by burning of Jepthah's only daughter. From memory I also remember that when the Old Testament Joshua was battling the Cannanites God instructed him to kill them all, women and children too. To you Christians who accept the Bible literally how can you explain how the Peceful and rather loving enity you call Jesus is the same enitity as the Old Testament God, who seems a cruel viceous bastard

1 John 3:2
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

does not everyone deserve a homeland? I know many people are sympathethic to israel, but most israelis have high standards of living while palestinians live in poverty and are overcrowded in refugee camps . I know many people are against them for suicide bombings and such, but many more palestinians have been killed than israelis, the israeli soldiers often kill innocent civilians or harass them. all I am asking is what do you have against someone having a homeland? the jews got theirs, which they deserved, but palestinians should have one too, even if they have to share it, why does on group have to have it all? why not share it?( I know there are many extremist who want all or nothing, I don't support that, but can't understand why they hate israel? if someone took your home away from you, wouldn't you be a little pissed?

Would you agree that the justice of God, an affectionate Father, always leaves the door of repentance open for His erring children. Reason telling us that He would not inflict an eternal privation of happiness on those who have not had the opportunity of improving themselves. Hence we are afforded reincarnation to make as many attempts to evolve towards perfection as needed? Therefore reincarnation is a true cycle of life.

Prove to me that evolution isn't merely another religion.
Prove to me that evolution (man from amoebas, life from rocks) is in the slightest way scientific.
Prove to me that inner species adaptation is the same thing as mammals evolving from reptiles.
Show me ONE example of ANY living creature EVER reproducing a DIFFERENT creature. (Any "dog" reproducing anything other than another "dog")
Evolution is NOT scientific. Adaptation certainly is, but adaptation is NOT evolution. Evolution is a RELIGION.

Good luck. (how's that for backing down from a debate?)

You don't like the same food your parents do, you don't like the same music, why do you blindly accept their religious views?

If you do not do your own investigation then it is only a superstition and "your" beliefs are based only on the place of your birth.

In the Bible, there are 4 arch angels, one of which is Michael, who are the other three and what are their places beside God and what purposes do they perform specifically? Not including Lucifer who was previous to the arch angels and was cast out by God.

In god is irrational, will you be willing to renounce your belief?

This is such an important question in whether you are serious about facts or simply emotionally clinging to a hope?

I've decided that despite people's constant, unfounded criticism that this is the most correct religion - you only have to look at our creed - "A world without Criminals, without Insanity and without war - where the able can prosper and man is free to reach greater heights" I find this inspiring don't you?

Or does God know you just want to look around during the prayer? Would God understand, or do you have to start with fresh prayer?

my parents are christian, and I don't believe in my religion, i can't see how god created adam and eve, when we evolved from monkeys. My parents, people at church, and peers are all telling me what I should do. For now, i'm agnostic. (i think thats how you spell it. It means that I dont know what religion i believe in, i think...)

Atheists will read a bible with no problem but you coudn't even pay lots of Christians to even go to an atheist website. Debates can lead to who's right and who's wrong. Atheists are willing to debate but I've wittnessed lots of Christians back down from a debate with atheists.

It occured to me that alot of people thnk Wicca is a teenage thing. In all my experience with Wiccans, I have met very few teenage Wiccans. Most are in their 30's, 40's.

Also, many people are under the assumption that Wiccans are either all Goth kids or severly overweight and unattractive.

I am 30, higher educated, professionally occupied, and (If I do say so myself) quite attractive. so what's the deal?

1. because some christians are judgemental
2. because it makes non-believers feel better about themselves to quickly dismiss it.
3. there are just so many Godless people that are filled with hatred.

please pick the number closest to what u believe.

George says God told him to attack Afghanistan and Iraq, he also claims to be Christian and he is the Ceaser of the day.
Jesus said to obey those in power and to render to them...etc.
Would you ship out in the name of God?

do you think that unconditional love comes before or after salvation? if it comes before then how did God demand a whole group of people in the OT killed? and if it comes after then does God only love some people unconditionally?
