Do you believe that Atheists will go to heaven even if they live a good life?

Well here is a question that I ask myself and see many hypocrites answer no. I have asked Catholic priests (I am Catholic) and they actually agree with my stance. Personally I believe that anyone can get to the kingdom of heaven because all you really have to do is live a humane life and treat others well. Honestly I know some atheists who do this so much better than many Christians I know.
Also I believe that any religion or way of life is actually very good. To me they are all just different paths towards the same goal, and that is making the best of things and just enjoying life. People just have many different ways.
One of the great things I like about the Catholic Religion is the idea of purgatory. To me it is the greatest thing because there that is proof of a loving God. Sure its a mix of heaven and hell, but there he gives every soul basically proof that he does exist and allows you the choice of spending eternity int he kingdom of heaven with him, or going to hell.

Why do some Christians feel the need to belittle the beliefs of other Christians?

I am a Catholic and no matter how you look at it we ARE Christians. We follow Christ. We may all worship differently but we hold to the same truths. If you want to convert someone then you should be concentrating on those who have not heard the message of Christ not belittling others who choose to worship or pray differently than you. It is truly a waste of time. We have heard and we have made our choice. This holds true for all Christians.

Pagans/Wiccans how do you perceive the Science of Evolution?

It is quite the topic amongst the Christians and Atheists but not sure how you ppl think of this topic. Also if you do think evolution is a fact, how does the idea of fairies and other creatures like that play into this equation? Or are they just myths and legends?
Thanks.

Has anyone thought of this?

This may be controversial among Christians...many things are because our faith matters to us so much.

Remember when Pilate said, "I don't want to be held accountable of this man's death," and then what did the Pharisees answer?

"May his blood be on us and on our children."

Before anybody goes off and thinks I believe this is a curse the Jews called down upon themselves or something like that, what about this?

Irony.

His blood IS on them and on their children. The cleansing, redeeming blood that bought our pardon. The reason? The covenant between God and Abraham.

What do you think?

50% Americans Believe in...?

Now, I came over this in a statistics book, which I decided was relatively accurate so far, then I seen that 50% of Americans believe in the Devil - is that a load of bollocks? Now, obviously no one person knows the answer if they are just guessing, so any Americans here state what way you believe please and we can do our own poll, but if it's anywhere near 50% then shame on you that's seriously sad. If not, then sorry, but it just sounds like American beliefs to me.

Do Something!!!!?

I saw some pictures of Libano after the bombing.
Those pictures were horrible!!
I couldn't find a place to put this question, so I put it here.

I'm asking all of you to pray for peace.
Atheists, I respect the fact that you don't beleive, but please, beleive at least for one minute and pray, it doesn't matter in what language you pray, to what God or Goddess you pray to, or what you have done in your life.

Is the crucifix blasphemous?

Exodus 20:4 says "You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below."

So even religious paintings and statues go against God's command right?

Why bash Roman Catholics?

I hate it when people are bashing Roman Catholics. I am Catholic and very excepting. I want to be open and learn about others religions. So why do people feel the need to say that we are close minded and unexcepting. Shutup and get to know me. I have been to other masses and I have visited mosks and temples, and I would love to see more of other religions. When people say "When you want to learn the truth..." is such a load of B.S. GAA! Why do people say that Roman Catholics are ignorant. We are not. We are no longer an unexcepting religion, so why put us down.

Capital Punishment- the Christian approach?

As a Christian I have met other believers with very different views on capital punishment. So, which is right? Is capital punishment justice or judging? Should only God control life and death? Biblical support appreciated :)

Are you hopefully awaiting the end of the world?

I have a friend who says she wishes that the end of the world would occur so that she could be with Jesus. She is a very happy person, and loves life. When she says stuff like this though I can not help but think she is suicidal. Do you pray for the end of the world to occur soon?

What does man separate Himself from nature?

Good or bad, I feel everything happens the way it should b/c we're all part of the course of nature. So where do ethics come in? Why isn't the rest of nature subject to them?

Is the LIVING CHURCH OF GOD (TOMORROWS WORLD)?

Is this the old WORLDWIDE CHURCH OF GOD (Plain Truth magazine) by Herbert W. Armstrong that had a booklet called "1975 in Profecy"? Of course after 1975 was gone and passed they pulled that booklet.
