I thought that what happens is gods will, so if you get hit by a train etc its ok because you have gone on to a better place and it was for a reason, so by praying for the afore mentioned are we asking god to do our will? for example obviously no one wants one of our soldiers to be killed overseas or anywhere else for that matter; but when we pray for thier safe return are we asking that god favor them over another man and that man be killed instead? and further more isn't the whole thing ok anywhich way because the deceased will go on to heaven given they had faith? just curious.

Have you noticed how primitive and uncivilized mankind is? Why cant we as a human race change? Violence, greed and selfishness seem to have a grasp on our minds and characters. People are programmed to always put themselves first disregarding their neighboor. Our lusts and ambitions are never fullfilled, we always want more. When will we wake up and realize that we have been wrongly influenced by a society that seems to have no future. We are in a constant search for all the comforts that life has to offer, all while people are starving to death and the planet is being destroyed. Can we change Humanity around?

I love it when God believers try to push their belief on me. That gives me a chance to convert them. They're most likely to lose faith in their own belief if they try to convert me.

I hear/read so many Christians going on and on about how "Religion means being inslaved" and that they arn't Religious at all. Instead they say that they are spiritual or they make a strange distinction between having a Religion and having a "Relationship with Jesus Christ".

None of this stuff makes any sense if you look at the definition of Religion and of Religious:

re·li·gion Pronunciation (r-ljn)
n.
1.
a. Belief in and reverence for a supernatural power or powers regarded as creator and governor of the universe.
b. A personal or institutionalized system grounded in such belief and worship.
(http://www.thefreedictionary.com/religion)

re·li·gious Pronunciation (r-ljs)
adj.
1. Having or showing belief in and reverence for God or a deity.
(http://www.thefreedictionary.com/religious)



Question:
1) Where did this distinction come from?
2) Are they trying to change the definition of Religion?
3) How can you look at the above definitions and say that doesn't describe Christianity?

This is an example of God believers view on the world

How did we get here? God must have did it
How did the sky get here? God must have did it
How did the earth get here? God must have did it
Why am I breathing? God must have did it

The difference between God believers and Atheists is God believers are looking for a comfortable, simple answer

Us Atheist will wait until we find an answer that's for sure the truth. We'll accept not knowing before we take any fairy tale and run with it

People can not see cleary isaiah talks about a savior to come....something is wrong here.
please read the falling, why????Isaiah 45:15
Truly, you are a God who hides yourself, O God of Israel, the Savior.
Isaiah 45:21
Declare and present your case; let them take counsel together! Who told this long ago? Who declared it of old? Was it not I, the Lord? And there is no other god besides me, a righteous God and a Savior; there is none besides me.
Hosea 13:4
But I am the Lord your God from the land of Egypt; you know no God but me, and besides me there is no savior. (why would god say this and give u a savior?)
god is not jesus
Matthew 4:10
Then Jesus said to him, “Be gone, Satan! For it is written, “‘You shall worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve.’
”John 8:54
Jesus answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God.’

Have you ever wondered what the meaning of life is? are we simply here to procreate and survive as long as possible. Why are we here? what is the real purpose? have you ever thought that people are alot like ants. We all do the same things, want relatively the same things and have the same end. I know everyone is different but in reality most of us live very similar lifes.
So tell me what is your purpose on this planet?

Where i'm from the women do everything. They are practically slaves! Every morning I have to make breakfast for my brothers, do the dishes, clean their rooms, and clean the entire house. I can't play video games for more than 30 minutes and my mom doesn't like it when I watch UFC. She calls me a Tomboy! All the guys have to do is take out the trash once a week and sit on their *** and watch T.V. If I suggest one of my brothers to do the dishes, my mom yells at me and says i'm a girl and I have to be more responsible. Tell me, is this fair? I'm 13 years old and cooking for my family since I was 9.

Who out there is love?

I am painting myself into the eternal wisdom of life. How do you picture your life, what pieces of the puzzle are you missing?

Religion is a tool a method not the product. Use any religion you want but realise they all have the same result! it is how you practice that determines the nature of your results.

A man and woman can have sex but the result depends on the love between them.

Take a Deep, DEEP breath.... completely fill your lungs,
breath out and say slowly

"I am Love"

Do this until you believe it.

If you don't believe it…
Why should anyone else believe in your love for them.

I just can't help asking this question. As I know I am going to get a lot of stupid answers.
Please I am asking for serious answers. I can't help wounder why people go to prison for stealing but not Adultery? They are both part of the TEN Commandments God gave us.
Exo 20:14 You shall not commit adultery.
Exo 20:15 You shall not steal.
Please tell me what your thoughts are on this.
I personally believe if you marry... that it is forever, unless it goes against God Holy Book. No one should commit adultery period ,but I know people fall into temptation no matter what the sin is we all are guilty of sin anyway,However back to my question why prison for stealing and not adultery???

My pastor violated HIPAA and accessed my medical records, which had been falsified. He ordered me to forgive the doctor who caused this--she destroyed my life (I lost my job, my credibility, reputation...you name it, I lost it). I was kicked out of my church, my bible study that was independent of my church and literally lost all my friends. Every "Christian" I know criticizes me because I won't forgive and "let it go" when THEY know what is in my medical record I do not. I claim that as Christians they are commanded to obey the law (Romans 13:1-5). They continue to criticize me about EVERYTHING. I am still fighting to press charges against my pastor for violating me and I have been ostracized. Should my pastor be prosecuted?
