What is your favorite? Why?

I like Life of Brian and Dogma, but the Oh, God! movies are fun, too.

When atheists or others read the Bible do they actually read it for any other reason than to mock and scoff, do they read it in it's entirety, or stop at a few verses in the old testament (The Bible will always be misinterpreted when read out of context) Why do they blame Christianity for the acts of perverted priests, the Crusades, or the Salem witch Trials. According to the Bible none of these were true Christians. Jesus said a sign of his true disciples(Christians) is that they love .

another sign of a true Christian OR FAKE is this

1 John 3
10. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever DOETH NOT RIGHTEOUSNESS is not of God, neither he that LOVETH NOT his brother.

Why does Christianity in general get a bad name, because of false Christians

Titus 1
16. They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

Just trying to gather other people's ideas, not trying to make fun.

What if something like the movie Bruce Almighty, but for a much longer time? Maybe there was a different God back 2000 years ago, but he decided that he was tired of it and found a suitor, maybe a high ranking angel or something?

Thoughts?

It's words on a page people... they have never seen heaven or hell and come back to write about it. These are not the divine words of God or he wouldn't change his mind so often, he would have everything preplanned in advance so he wouldn't have to.

For me this is a tie between my mouth, as I talk to much, and sloth as I often wish to do nothing but read.

I am not in anyway trying to insult Homosexuals, even though Islam highly prohibits Homosexuality. Below, you will see how both the Homosexuals and Pigs' cases are linked together in the Bible.

I was surprised to learn that most of the Christians that I encountered on the internet have no problem with homosexuality and don't think that there is anything wrong with it in the Bible. Their main point is that homosexuality was never addressed in the New Testament, thus practicing it is a matter of a choice.

Some even go into extremes by saying that Jesus never got married and Paul discouraged men to marry women; "Now for the matters you wrote about: It is good for a man not to marry. (From the NIV Bible, 1 Corinthians 7:1)" To them, since this is the case, then men marrying men should not be prohibited in the New Testament and Christianity.

Even though the Old Testament never addressed Lesbianism, but several Christians that I met in person oppose to Homosexuality because to them it is prohibited in the OT; "'If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads. (From the NIV Bible, Leviticus 20:13)"

As I said, the OT never addressed Lesbianism, and the Pro-Homosexuality Christians of www.godlovesfags.com elaborated on this point. We even see many Verses in the OT where men and women are separated in laws and punishments. Take this example:

"IF A MAN has sexual relations with an animal, he must be put to death, and you must kill the animal. (From the NIV Bible, Leviticus 20:15)"

"IF A WOMAN approaches an animal to have sexual relations with it, kill both the woman and the animal. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads. (From the NIV Bible, Leviticus 20:16)"

Notice in the above two verses that the man has to get caught having sex with an animal in order for him to be put to death, while the woman does not necessarily have to get caught having sex with an animal. If she only looks suspicious then she would still be put to death, while the man has to be caught doing it. Anyway, to many Christians, Lesbianism is ok since it was never addressed anywhere in the Bible.

But as to those folks who do oppose to Homosexuality in the Bible and rely on Leviticus 20:13 as the Anti-Homosexuality Christians of www.godhatesfags.com to support their argument, I have this question for them:

Since you use the Old Testament to prohibit Homosexuality which was never addressed in the New Testament, then how about prohibiting the eating of Pig's meat products such as ham, bacon, pork chops, etc...?

The Old Testament clearly says "And the pig, though it has a split hoof completely divided, does not chew the cud; it is unclean for you. You must not eat their meat or touch their carcasses; they are unclean for you. (From the NIV Bible, Leviticus 11:7-8)".

So, if you're going to prohibit Homosexuality from your Christian perspective, then there goes also your Easter and Christmas Ham and Bacon, and Barbecue Pork Chops. Otherwise, you're a selective hypocrite!

Calculating say 5,300 to 5,500 generations since 200,000 years to present day for the modern human and factoring in around 23 to 27 billion have walked the earth (6.5 billion presently), how many souls do you think are currently in hell? And what reasonable thinking leads you to make that number?

You all know Joyce Meyer, the multimillionaire televangelist. When it comes to money she preaches one thing-AND LIVES THE TOTAL OPPOSITE!

Wouldn't be nice to own 5 mansions? A 500K vacation home? 100K cars? A 10 million dollar plane?

And that's not all. If you become Joyce Meyer, you sell books at Wal-Mart were the poor shop, but not if your Joyce! Her clothes are all hand made! You get armed security guards, a 105K boat, $30,000 tables, well you get the picture.

Matt 6:19-21, "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth....." ? I'm not bashing her theology, and she's done some good things! I have serious issues with preachers that don't live as a bondservant of Christ, and have issues with wealth and materialism. They won't be telling you this stuff on their next show, but is available online.

If you don't like this question-which is pure fact-then start looking on the net. It's true! It's all over the internet. This link is from the St. Louis Post Dispatch-
