If your catholic, i warned you!

Anyway, my question for christians is :Do you think the pope went to hell?

i mean, God did say not to have human idols! And that's what the pope is!

And please do not get offended, it's just a question out of my own opinion! Thank you! =]

...down our Christian throats? Every Christian post is inundated with non-believer hate and disagreement. One cannot even ask fellow Christians a question without having to siffen through the unbeliever garbage.

Check out my post about contradictions in the Bible. I put it up for a vote and the nonbelievers went hog wild on it voting for an answer that didn't even answer the question!

And I am not even talking about just my posts. It is nearly ever Christian post there is.

What gives? Why are the heathens cramming their faith down our throats?

"In the Gospel of John, the disciple John frequently refers to himself in the third person as 'the disciple whom Jesus loved'." 4 One might argue that Jesus loved all of his followers in a non-sexual way. Thus to identify Jesus' love for John in a special way might indicate a sexual relationship. The disciple was "the" beloved. He was in a class by himself.

if you are doing something that u know God doesnt want u to do, are you happy if you just keep doing it? being self-absorbed with 'fleshly pleasures' cannot keep people happy, and i know non-believers in God might not agree with that? but then why do we keep changing our interests to fill that 'void'? do you agree that God fills the 'void' that nothing else can? NOT INTERESTED IN INSULTING RUDE COMMENTS THANX!!!!

Because they have chosen (from the Greek "hariesis" which means "to choose") to "walk apart" from orthodoxy and orthopraxis.

All Protestants and fundamentalist Christians need to repent immediately! They are committing the sin of PRIDE by continuing to believe they have the answer; they are not listening to God!

Seriously. If God really wants us to be "saved" why would he insist that we believe in a 2000+ year old book that has all kinds of inconsistencies written into it by the various preachers along the way. Even god would have trouble with the parts others put in.

Why not just come down - perform some miracles at the world cup final or something that can be seen from all angles, and by everyone watching, then have god's holy writings fall from the sky for week nonstop around the world. A miracle that could not be explained away.

After seeing the televised, recorded, nonstop weeklong miracle - if you reject god, I could understand people thiking your crazy. But right now. A 2000 year old book that says a wine swigging fella rose folks from the dead and walked on water - WEAK! You really think that's the message God wants us bowing down to and believing in?

Isn't magic an abomination of God? Won't this lead others to think it's real?

If American society genuinely cares about children, why isn’t the public outraged at the religious fundamentalists’ manipulating child abuse and pedophilia into their campaign against gay marriage?

It seems to me like a dismissal and disregard of a very significant issue. Further, although gays may have a different sexual orientation, child sexual abuse (CSA) is almost always by heterosexual family members and straight close family friends. Studies and research repeatedly show this to be the case. Stranger pedophilia is rare, and it almost always is committed by men who are straight in their adult relationships, which also is the conclusion of experts in the field. CSA and child abuse in general are predominantly “straight America” problems. I find the misinformation and political manipulation terribly disconcerting from a child welfare perspective. It’s offensive and I don’t understand why anyone who cares about children or family can tolerate it. Can you explain?

Most of us here have never backed or been in a Crusade, Jihad, or Incuisition have we? Why are we being judged by those things?

i have seen many people who say they are open minded about other religions when really they only agree to dis agree.
to truely be open minded about religion you must look out side your faith. for example on a old piece of wood there is writen the following staements:
1 statement is false, this is the true answer
2 statements are false, this is the true answer
... all the way up to
100 statements are false, this is the true answer
all 100 statements are claiming to be right. but only one is. the only way to truly know is to look at all the statements. this is how i believe we should approch religion. in the example above the corect answer would be "99 statements are false, this is the true answer".
now you may believe that statement 99 = christanity and for you maybe it does but statement 99 might equal islam to someone else.and maybe this piece of wood was broken ans is missing statements 101,102 and 103 in that case #99 is wrong
with this in mind are you/should you be open-minded about religion

....had knowledge of? I haven't looked in the Bible yet. However it has been my undestanding that if you admit the Lord, Jesus Christ as your Savior you as are saved. Be specific and site Biblical sources as well if used. I know all answers are in the Bible, but I want to know what others think. Also If you are friends with an atheist or gay are you supporting them and going against the Bible OR are you just friends with them? I know this is a lot to think about. So give it some thought be honest! I'm NOT a hypocite I'm Christian myself I'm just wondering.

All those families--with little-bitty babies and everything--drowned by a single flood all over the world. Not to mention all the little baby squirrels and rabbits and sheep and kitty cats and puppies---drowned by a vengeful-as-hell God.

If the story of Noah's Ark isn't horrible, and if it isn't an act of extreme terrorism, please explain why. Thanks.

they expect Christians to be perfect when we are in fact humans...they might have had a bad experience with Christians in the past...so that bitterness stays so they are not open minded to other Christians...or they just think anyone who believes in a religion is narrow mind and not as open minded as they are so they want to open our minds...but in fact they are intolerant and narrow minded themselves...
