Good deeds

Matt 5:16 "In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven." (NIV)

Matt 6:3-4 "But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secert. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you." (NIV)

I think there are fake atheists and "real" atheists (tolerant).

In my view, to the affirmation "God does exist.",

- a fake atheist replies: "No, God does not exist.". So this fake atheist is a believer too: he/she believes in the non-existence of God, so he/she actually resonates with the concept of "God" but in a different way;

- a real atheist replies: "Well, I don't feel the need to wonder about the existence or the non-existence of God. I have no opinion about your affirmation. I can only acknowledge your religious belief without judging it :-)"

So: are you a tolerant atheist yourself?

God is Good. Satan is Good at being Evil. God is great. Satan is great at being Evil. Why are they matched so closely that they sometimes appear to be the same one. It's almost like God turns into Satan to test us. But the testing is so stupid. Why test??? Who cares who is better or best?

why do christians think the holy spirit was the next thing after Jesus? It is said that the holy spirit been around before, during and after jesus time. So how could Jesus possibly be talking about something that has always been around? and why would Jesus have to leave for the holy spirit?I thought they worked together.
"But if go, I will send him to you. And when he comes, he will convict the world of sins and of righteousness and of Judgment" John 16:7-8.
Can this be the holy spirit Jesus is talking about or something else?

The christians have lied all over the place saying that the old testament is to be ignored, but this is just an excuse used to ignore the bizarre laws commanded by their "god" and what there religion stands for, as i said earlier that the OT bible instructs to kill unbelievers and that children should die if they disobey there parents "Whoever curses father or mother shall die" (Mark 7:10 NAB).

According to the bible, none of these laws is to be abolished under any circumstances and that it was commanded by "god"

"Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest part or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place." (Matthew 5:17 NAB)

Yet christians continue to make up things conveniently to make there religion look so sweet and innocent. What do you have to say to my audience about the lies exposed?

What the Bible says about Menstruation
Leviticus 15:19-30
And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even. And every thing that she lieth upon in her separation shall be unclean: every thing also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean. And whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. And whosoever toucheth any thing that she sat upon shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. And if it be on her bed, or on any thing whereon she sitteth, when he toucheth it, he shall be unclean until the even. And if any man lie with her at all, and her flowers be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and all the bed whereon he lieth shall be unclean. And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days out of the time of her separation, or if it run beyond the time of her separation; all the days of the issue of her uncleanness shall be as the days of her separation: she shall be unclean. Every bed whereon she lieth all the days of her issue shall be unto her as the bed of her separation: and whatsoever she sitteth upon shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her separation. And whosoever toucheth those things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. But if she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean. And on the eighth day she shall take unto her two turtles, or two young pigeons, and bring them unto the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for her before the LORD for the issue of her uncleanness.

Leviticus 20:18
And if a man shall lie with a woman having her sickness, and shall uncover her nakedness; he hath discovered her fountain, and she hath uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from among their people.

Ezekiel 18:5-6
But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right, and hath not ... come near to a menstruous woman.....

I just spent the afternoon in a garden with 150 hippies, all doing mindfulness, eating organic food, painting childrens' faces, telling stories and generally meditating the hell out of each other. All very nice and pleasant but WHERE'S THE *&£$£$ING SENSE OF HUMOUR GONE???!!! Honestly, this lot are as bad as evangelical Christians. No - actually they're worse. Evangelicals can laugh at themselves (cos we're all sinners, right?). Hippies take themselves so seriously you feel you should bow and throw rose petals as they walk by. Hrrr hgggghgrrr.
