So Christians believe that Jesus is their savior but that they don't know, they believe. Big difference. If you can't know something, you believe it for some positive gain. Is Christianity just really self-gratifying and that's why it has done so well?

I'm not denying there is a creator, but what makes Christ any different from all the other false prophets

According to this scripture, only those who constantly do good--by faith--know the difference between right and wrong.

Hebrews 5:14

But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.

Ecclesiastes 5:1

Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. Go near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools, who do not know that they do wrong.

Would that not be enough of a reason to believe and read it?

I know there a heaven and what the bible says is totally true, but even of your a non believer, wouldnt it be worth a try to see if it make you happy and gives you a inner peace.

The closest equivalent I can think of is perhaps Stephen Hawkings, and Stephen Jay Gould when he was alive. Stephen Jay Gould gave commencement when I received my BA from Michigan State in 1999, I hung on every word.

Who has taken his place?

The fundamentalist Christian equivalent of a modern day William Jennings Bryant appears to be the Pat Robertsons and Jerry Farwell, and while I like Farwell's intelligence I don't think I would be able to get a good debate out of him.

Who are the modern equivalents of Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryant, the giants of intellect in the 1920 Scopes Monkey Trial?

Nothing better to do in the whole universe than care what we think or feel?

A lot of people apparently assume that because Christianity is either correct or it isn't, this somehow constitutes a 50-50 chance. Numerous apologist arguments, such as Pascal's Wager, are based on this assumption.

However, to determine the mathematical probability that a specific proposition about God is accurate, we must first determine the total number of possible states that could exist. Are there really only 2? Since God is an unknowable entity, I would postulate that there are infinite possible states - for all we know, God could be an entity for which the notion of "existence" in not applicable.

So given an infinite number of possible "Ultimate Truths", is there any reason to think yours is more likely than another? Keeping in mind that your personal faith has no bearing on probability, the chances of you being right is exactly 1 divided by infinity, or one infinitieth.

On the bright side, at least one of the inifinite possibilities must be correct. Maybe it's yours.

Because there is a strong possibility that Hell doesnt exsist and heaven may not be what we think it is. I think we are reincarnated not so much into animals but we are given another chance to learn life lessons again and when its not our turn to be reincarnated or to come back we are set to help others in the world. We become their spirit guides or their Guardians spirits who protect them, we might even help family members life neices and nephews or children from the otherside.this would really explain why so many people feel the presence of their Grandparents or Kids are always seeing people or look they are laughin at nothing or to them selves! Those who lived horrible lives and used their time here not to learn and live but to destroy life and the such dont get their time at all or have to work so hard in the afterlife to even get the chane. This is why hitler would never come back! What do you guys think!?

What if it's being held in a tiny Ukrainian town chapel as a holy relic? What if furious chemical is right and the 2nd coming depends on DNA cloning?

Or what if DAN BROWN is right & we could get mitochondrial DNA from Jesus' descendants?

Hmmmmmmm.......

Is it a law that only comes into effect when you die and get reborn, or does it apply to the near future as well as the next life?

dont mind God punishing us all with death and evil because of the doings of some primitive man and woman? God seems to 'lump' us all together. Something called 'original sin'.
How do you justify this view?

"All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth..." -Jesus

"That at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow...and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.."

"For there is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved."

Isaiah 52 vs 13-53 vs 12 predicted Jesus would be the Messiah who would be exaulted as muslims believe Jesus will return from heaven to reign-

Isaiah 52 vs 13-53 vs 12 "He shall be exaulted, but first marred more than any man, and he shall be despised and rejected, and die as our lamb sacrifice for sins to make atonement for our sin."

i believed Isaiah do you-and i thank him for every day do you????

please dont say your Jewish or whatever and reject the Messianic prophecies-dont say that is my interpretation Isaiah said it -who else will be exaulted, marred first more than any man, be despised and rejected and die for our sins----REALITY CHECK -i got a Jewish Messiah-if u dont u dont got a living personal God-a messiah or a shepherd or a friend in God---shalom peace up

and i prayed as he asks us to do in Revelation 3 vs 19&20 "Behold i stand at your heart door and knock-if ye open the door i will come in and deliver from sins, and become your friend." I prayed save meYes!

I could have faith in a false religion, I would be wrong, but I would still have faith.

Its said that these men wrote this book in accordance with what god wanted.... but they were all men. men used to wear skirts back then so what is proper woman attire... why do women have to wear skirts and not men. I personally think the bible is sexistly written... i dont believe in it. but i do believe in a higher power who put us here. i just personally think some men got together in a scheme to control the world by creating this aura that we must all be "god-fearing" and good....

I hear people of various religions, including my own (Christian) that will use Blessings in their responses.

So, what does the word "blessings" mean to you?

The world is steady changing. Everybody only cares about themselves. Even people who claim to be Christians or other so called benevolent faiths. Is it the state of the world? Is it society and how hard that people have to work for peanuts? Why is there this air of selfishness, hurry and greed in the world? You can sense it. I'm not saying it was never there before, but there seems to be a megadose of it. Hardly anyone is polite and mannerable anymore, neighbors aren't neighborly as much, and the youth are like hooligans. Why are people choosing to be mean? What's so hard about holding a door for an old lady? What's so hard about saying hello to your neighbor, maybe pulling their wastebin up if they work late? What is it about today's world that is so different from when I was small, just 20 years ago in the 80's. What has shifted? Are people going to just get steadily worse? Or is a revival of humanity due soon? Yes, I do beleive in God. But follow no set beleif system.
