wether its politically, socially or any other way christians ARE being attacke for their beleifs. its not because their holy book claims that itll happen at the end of day, its because christians have a way of making things better for themselves while leaving everything crappier for everyone else.

example 1. in africa christian missionaries go to villages and spread their disease...i mean their religion...they teach that if people dont beleive they will be sent to hell to be burned and tortured for all of eternity. then when theyre done theyre off to waiting busses and planes that whisk them off to suburbia!

example 2. the bush cabinet. conservatives have come into power, spawning off some sort of green light that allowed many other conservatives out of the woods and into open fields. suddenly the religious right feel that because theyre in power they can do as they please. gay marraige is illegal, abortion could become illegal.

And why do you think it doesn't use the word LOVE in the book. The entire Bible is a love story. So how come the omission?

Seriously you can't change my mind because my orientation is not a choice (don't claim it's a choice in your answer, it is a waste of everyone's time). Even if homosexuality was a choice what do YOU care if I go to hell for MY sins? It is about time you all stop trying to control us and worry about your own salvation. Can't you just consider us all a lost cause and let us live our doomed sin filled lives? Will you ever step off of your pedestal and let us be? NO I DO NOT WANT TO BE SAVED SO DON'T "SAVE ME"

There is no complete theory of gravity, so why believe it? It's not written in the Bible either.

His name is Turner and he is 9 and he will begin his biggest chemo treatment in a few days. When he was 3 he beat leukemia. Now he is trying to win in a battle over brain cancer. Can you please pray for him?

Since they couldn't get the people to stop celebrating pagan holidays, they tricked them instead. Years later, we still celebrate Christmas on that same day.

I mean. Gosh!! In three years of life, a child learns to walk, talk, smile, and all that!! And then once you get to 25ish (So it seems) you just...slowly age. Why? Why doesn't make it to where you gradually grow up, then at the end just all of a sudden get old and died? It's just never made since to me.

Do you use menstrual huts? If not, why not? (After all, they were mandated in the O.T.)

If you don't use them, isn't that picking and choosing what to believe, and what not to believe?

If you say that the N.T. obviates their use, does that mean it's ok to pick and choose, but only the O.T.?

I'm completely serious, and would like to see serious answers.

Most Catholics I know would attend but I have heard arguments that they should not especially when the couple consists of a Catholic person and a non-Catholic getting married outside of the church. What are your thoughts?

There are six billion people in the world. How many are Jewish? I know the answer, and I'll tell you if you're right, so think about it and take a guess.

I LOVE science with a passion, but I believe in God, and the scientists I have encountered get very sarcastic when God is brought up in a conversation. Why all the hostility?

There are between 30 and 50 million species. Take two of each, that's 60-100 million animals. Let's say he was working 24/7, moving 100 animals per minute (which is pretty damn fast, but we'll give him a little lee-way since the big guy was backing him). By my calculations it would have taken him between 416.7 and 694.4 days to complete his task. How did he keep the ones on the boat alive during that amount of time? How did he cope with the huge amount of fecies produced? Where did he keep the food for all these animals? Do I really need to go on? These are fairy tales people. They hold as much fact as Zeus chunking lightning bolts down from Olympus.

Here's my question. If Satan is the greatest of LIARS and is trying to harvest souls for hell, couldn't he be lying to the world by starting RELIGION as we know it and telling all the followers that he is God, and that they should follow him? How would we really know the difference?

How many wars have been started and fought over religion? How many people have died, not by the hand of God, but by the hands of religious followers? Religion can be linked to Torture and punishments beyond comprehension. How many priest have been caught defiling children? Spanish inquisition, Salem witch trials, crusades...etc

I don't see how a true God would need a religion of any kind for people to believe in. Wouldn't the continuous belief in God be enough for someone? All god needs is the faith. Not Money.

Doesn't this promise of life everlasting and happiness in heaven for all eternity sound more like a lie the devil would tell to get you to sign his contract, than the words of God

A Few Examples:
Jesus never said I am God worship me!
He never said I am dying for the sins of the world.
He was the messiah for the lost sheep of Israel only and his mission was to save the Hebrew people from Roman control but the spirits of the Hebrew people were not with God.
He was murdered for sedition by the hebrew priests and roman governor and was not a willing lamb being led to the slaughter.
He never intended to start a new religion
He was the son of Joseph who was a descendant of David from the tribe of Judah and not the only begotten son of God.
He became a son of God through his righteousness like the prophets before him.
Jesus was not physically ressurected but spiritually only and that is why he is the first born of the dead and ruler of the kings of the earth.
And a vast amount of other contradictions and outright lies.
