None of that slapping in the head, "your healed, walk again" business either.

In John 7:16, Christ says I am not teaching my own ideas,but those of the God that sent me.Christ went off to pray to God often.John 1,says Christ is God.Before Christ assended he said there will come another meaning the Holy Spirit,on and on. It is very hard for me to not say that the trinity is not as many follow. People claim all in one is the same but when they speak of Christ as it is written He is the salvation and son of God, then Earth bound to be the son of man.It is written he sat and now sits at the right hand of God, and he prepares a place for us and bought us all with his death. Do you believe in the actual all in one and if so why is this so confusing as written in any bible translation.

On his show, The Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert has mentioned his idea to create a 'Gaysrael' (like Israel) for Gays. Is this a joke for everyone (like with Stephen), or are conservatives actually suggesting this?

The idea of GOD and jesus and religion as a whole has evolved to suit mans needs. I say again, GOD is a manufactured lie made by man to suit his needs.
The evolution from teh Egyptian / roman / pagan etc gods is well documented and studied.
There were many religions that could have been the one at the same time as jesus. But the Jesus one was put forward by man, and man made people believe it.

Why are these scholarly truths not put main stream. Why do we keep lying to our children.

Why do I usually see people hating the sin instead of loving the sinner? Do these people ever attend gay weddings? Do they ever attend church with their homosexual and/or abortionist neighbors? Do they pay for counseling for those considering abortion? Do they offer to adopt the child and support it, while still maintaining the aborter as the mother?

Where exactly does the 'love the sinner' part come into play?

In Genesis Abraham makes butter,
soup is prepared for Issac by Jacob to steal Esaus blessing
1 Kings 18 has bull meat
Jesus is the lamb of God
Jesus turns water into wine
Jesus makes 5 loafs of bread and 2 fish feed thousands (I think this is in all four Gospels, the only miracle in all I think)

We'll throw aside the argument that nearly every species on the planet has a small homosexual population, and we'll try another argument.

On a strictly "natural" basis, why bother with marriage at all? If heterosexuals are strictly on this planet to reproduce and make more babies, why marry at all? Isn't marriage sort of counter productive for advancing the species and gene pool?

Why procreate with the same woman multiple times? To make a better gene pool, why not just go have children with multiple women? You can get the job done of birthing 3 children in the time it takes to birth one. Just go around and have sex with 3 women in the same day, get them pregnant, and 9 months later, you've got your genes shared with 3 different women and you've got 3 different gene pools to help advance the human race!

So, how can you truly use the "unnatrual" argument against gay marriage and not sound like a bleeding dolt?

I see this fight every day. Honestly, I start it alot. But, everyone feels sorry for everyone else because of their beliefs. I don't feel sorry for anyone. I treat people good in real life. I live a good life. I don't give a rats testicle what anyone else does.
I do know through years of research and a masters degree that Christianity has been the excuse for the majority of hate killings and genocide. But, I don't feel sorry for anyone because that is a waste of my time.

However, if you affect my life or my friends (I.E. gay hating christians, forcing my students to say the pledge of allegiance with the god part even when they are buddhist and islamic, and killing women in the process of blowing up abortion clinics) Ya, I hate you. But, you will get what you deserve because KARMA will kick your ***. So, I don't feel sorry for you at all

Churches as a child. The last time I went was probally about 10 yrs ago or more. I know that I want to get to know God , But Im having a hard time dealing w/the issue of knowing him in my religion or as a christian. My Mom was catholic. She passed on in April and I almost feel like I need to look into it because she had me baptized catholic. I think they worshi[p Mother Mary , I think we should only worship God. So I'm confused in what to do. Your opinion would be greatly appreciated. God Bless

Why isn't the Muslim community speaking out? I havn't heard much from the supposed "Peacefull" Muslims. As far as I have read and heard, I am the enemy ,(Infidel). Why arn't you "peacefull" Muslims banding together to dispel this belief?

As an agnostic does not believe there is sufficient information to conclude the existence or non-existence of god, are they also unable to decide on the existence or non-existence of the Easter Bunny?

David had a garden that was absolutely beautiful. In it, he grew the most perfect tomatoes that you have ever seen! One day, Paul came along and planted cucumbers right in the middle of David's garden. When the cucumbers started sprouting, Paul told everyone that the tomatoes were the root of his cucumbers. In other words, that the cucumbers had developed from the tomatoes, and were the natural result of the tomatoes.

When ever i tell somebody that i am an atheist they always comment that i say it like i have something to prove. Like they are trying to prove that deep down i am unhappy with my lack of religion.

Atheism is a beautiful thing. I spend every day with the freedom to find meaning for myself.

Making a long story short: I have been separated for almost a year. Divorce is not final because of contesting issues. I have two children by my ex husband. I met my bf 3 weeks after me and my hubby separated. We messed up, and I got pregnant. Not being divorced yet, the court assumes the father is my ex-hubby. The father is my new bf, I have not been with my ex or anyone else since our separation. I know this was wrong and I have realized my mistakes. My bf has a problem because he just got saved. I got saved, too, but now he don't even want to be with me because he feels like he is intruding in my marriage. And he thinks there is a way it can be saved. There is no way it can be saved. My bf is very judgemental about divorce now that he has become a christian, and he acts like I did this all by myself. I can't argue that what we have done is wrong. But, what now? He doesn't except the fact that I have to speak to my ex about our children, either.
