Here is a situation:

There is a group of selected people who are happy believing in God. They feel inner peace spirituality. God makes them be better people. In the real world they have never interfered with other people's believes. They respect everyone and they don't feel the desire to force people to believe in God. But what's important in this situation is that the found true happiness with God.

Do you feel happy for that group of people even though you completely disagree with their believes?

Would you jump from the Empire State Building thinking since you don't see gravity it doesn't exist? I hope not. So why live your life as if God does't exist and He is not Holy?

Actually read the Bible.

I'm so tired of people in here bashing Christians. I'm a Christian and I am not all of the things you say we are. I'm aware that there are Christians that do things that are really wrong, like cramming what them believe down the throats of non-believers. Seriously, I've never been to a church that promotes that in any way. It's wrong and i'm sorry for that, but you cannot judge everyone for the "sins" of some. I'm not really legalistic, I go out and have a drink now and then (The bible doesn't say that it's wrong BTW) I'm just someone who tries my best to live up to what I believe. I screw up sometimes and then you call me a hypocrite, but just because I believe in Jesus doesn't mean that I'm all of a sudden perfect. I have many non-Christian friends and I don't try to convert people. If they ask me a question, I tell them the truth that's it. So please think before you throw all of us into the same category. It's hard to think people hate you because of what you believe.

In 1995, after a series of secretive meetings, Jerry Falwell, a hypocritical member of the christian right, accepted a 3.5 million dollar donation from the Rev. Sun Myung Moon. This donation was gladly accepted to "save" Liberty University.

Here is one of MANY net links describing this very donation and their relationship. A pic is included-
http://www.freedomofmind.com/stevehassan/presskit/articles/parry1.htm

Rev Moon, is the head of the moonie church. He believes he is the reincarnated Jesus Christ, claims Jesus failed because he didn't procreate, is a sexual pervert, believes America is the reaping of satan's harvest, and supports the Republican party. He is a major global arms dealer! HE ALSO CLAIMS HE IS THE MESSIAH!

Don't you think it's hypocritical for Jerry Falwell to accepted a donation from Rev Moon- a false preacher? OR is it just another example of how low some right wing televangelists will go to get their hands on more precious money?

This past week when I was in church, I accidentally dropped mine! I was kind of embarrassed. I felt badly about it too. Have you ever seen anyone do this, or have you yourself done it?

I've seen more bogus claims about Islam on this forum than any other media source. Miraculous "scientific" predictions, false reports of celebrities converting to Islam, deliberately denying factual evidence regarding history and Koranic scripture, etc.

Read this question carefully, answer YES or NO, and then explain why. We know you CAN do it. Let's see if you will.

P.S. I know at least one of you will try to "answer" this question by saying "prove it", but that's not really an answer. Look through my question and answer history, and you'll find all the PROOF you need. Once again, here is the question...

Muslims, if you caught a fellow Muslim lying about Islam, would you confront him?

By D.E.V.O. I mean Debates Evolutionists and Various Others.

If you feel called to search deeply into the "hard questions," and neither your faith nor your family life is suffering because of the amount of time you spend on that pursuit, then answer with the web address of your favorite apologetics website, collect your 2 pts, and move on to the next YA challenge.
OR
Is Bible study for you not primarily a way to increase your knowledge of God and his will, but rather a frantic attempt not to be shown up by atheists who know more about the Holy Book than you do?Heaven is made up of people who come to the Lord with the trust of a little child. You can defend the intellectual rigor of the Bible with an atheist 'til the cows come home, but if he doesn't WANT to have that trusting attitude, the questions aren't going to end, ever.

That's like saying that the Greek, Roman and the Egyptian civilization never existed when it did. Those times were part of the history of our civilization. The stories of the Bible happened like it or not, and they reveal the story of the civilization and culture of the Jewish that started in the c. 17th century.

Why are people claiming here that the Bible is a fictitious book. Even if you don't believe in God nor Jesus, that is a very ignorant statement. You can't never erase events that truly happened in the past. History cant be repeated but it can be proved.

If you believe that those people in the Bible really existed but don't believe on the miracles that occured in the name of God, then that's your problem.

But please educate yourself on History. You can't determine what's real and what's not.

The word of God always prevail no matter how much human try to prove it wrong.

I've seen theists posting questions to atheists, asking how they can have any hope/happiness, etc. when they don't believe in god. I always found that question to be rather ignorant.

But just now, I saw an atheist stating that she doesn't believe in anything - fate, karma, psychic ability, etc. And suddenly, I got a glimpse of what those christians were thinking.

I found it rather sad that someone doesn't believe in ANYTHING magical or mystical. It just sounded so flat and final. Remember what it felt like to believe in Santa? Well, some of those things can bring the same sort of feeling.

But then I paused to reflect. DOES that person truly have a flat, meaningless existence? Is their life without purpose, without joy? Hell no! It may be without THAT type of joy, but there is so much to life that can uplift us. Nature, music, family and friends, etc.

What do YOU think? Is belief in something - anything - outside of our five senses necessary for a happy life?

yea, i tried him, and come to find out he was just a cult leader who got nailed to his own belief by the rich and famous, though his followers like you are still around to carry on his tradition of preaching good faith. which is not a bad thing. but please, there is no god. after jesus got whacked, his right hand man told the rest of the followers about his premonitions of seeing jesus and what they were supposed to do. to bad you can't prove your promise. just keep making them.
