There are those of you who hate God and Christians, but why do you attack because we believe differently. We just live our lives differently. We believe in Jesus and the Bible. I don't attack those who do not believe the way I do, So why does it happen to us? I think the word... is ingnorant.

Christian Churches teach that Jesus Christ is not only the Son of God, but that “he is the very God.” the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are one, Three in one, and one in three. They are co-eternal and coequal. Jesus is God, and God is Jesus. That is the Christian dogma, to which the majority of those who call themselves Christians subscribe.

God and Jesus Are They One And The Same?

NOTHING! I've lived a good life and helped the hurting of the world. I've lived a moral life and done right by people and myself. If after you die and did not believe in my God, you've lost everything. Jesus died for you just as much as he died for me. Accept him in your heart and he will change your life!

WHEEE if you love JESUS say it with MEEEE!

A few days ago some mormon (from the Church of Jesus Christ of Ladder Day Saints) stopped by my house to talk to me about their religion. Not now anything about their religion made me curious to learn, so I allowed them to speak to me. As I listened their ways there was several things I didn't agree with, especially how they base their church on their families. The way the men kept talking bout that and the kind of things they did in their church services made me wonder if their religion was cult. Does anyone know?

I was reading "Infancy Gospel of James.” on Mary’s life, beginning with her parents, an elderly couple named Joachim and Anne. At age 3, Mary is presented to the priests in Jerusalem, where she is raised. At age 12, the priest summons the widowers of Israel and tells each to bring a staff. One will take Mary as a wife. Joseph, an old man with grown sons, a dove appears. He is chosen. Joseph protests, arguing that he is too old, but agrees. While Joseph is out, an angel tells Mary that she will have a divine child and is to name him Jesus. Upon finding Mary pregnant, Joseph resolves to leave but an angel informs him that Mary has conceived by the Holy Spirit.
- HAVE I GOT IT RIGHT SO FAR?

OK - So God gets Mary pregnant at age 12? Does that make God a Pedophile? I mean, most already said it was ok for him to get her pregnant without her conscent - but how do you explain this one? A 12 Year old??? COME ON.....Where is whynotaskdon when you need him.

Don't you think people who say Quetzalcoatl doesn't exist are making a rather bold and unsupportable accusation?

Doesn't it take an incredible amount of faith to say such a thing?

Since we can't disprove the existence of Quetzalcoatl, isn't the proper position to say "I don't know. Maybe Quetzalcoatl exists, maybe not. Either way, we can't be sure and so it isn't proper to say he doesn't exist."

But you CAN be sure he exists! Just invite Quetzalcoatl into your heart, and offer him a sacrifice, and then you can know he's real. If you believe and he's not real, you lose nothing. If you don't, and he is real, he's not going to be very happy. Do you really want to anger him?

ok in general I am a believer of god. Now recently I reunited with a long lost friend. She is in the proccess of divorcing her husband and tells me she recognized in herself she never really loved him it was more of a marriage of financial gain and codependence. Now with that being said I told her I thought she was very brave for being able to admit this to herself. The conversation continued and she then told me she had found god, and she felt thankful for all he has given her. I told her that was wonderful. Then she asked me why was it that I was not married to the man that I have been with and the father of my children for so many years. I told her it was never an issue for us and in our hearts we are. Then next the dreaded words came. God frowns upon this and you will have to stand in judgement of your sins. I couldnt believe it. Why does religion tend to seperate instead of bringing one another together. Isnt this the very message Jesus the messenger of god tried to tell us.

During Americas Civil War it's obvious Born Again Christians fought for each side. Why would a saved person kill another saved person? That's not the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

I find it very odd and hypocritical that so many Atheist are pure fanatics when it comes to religion, God, and the Bible. Why is that?

The Christian god is credited with the creation of everything, not just in our universe, but in the heavens as well. Satan himself is a former angel named Lucifer. Who created the angels? Obviously, god did. Who created Lucifer? Obviously, god did. The Christian god is said to have the ability to see the future as clearly as the past. So, the instant Lucifer came into being, god already knew that eventually he would turn to evil and attempt a revolution. So why did god create Lucifer in the first place? Are we witnessing a split personality? Does god have an "evil" side which he failed to fully suppress? When god created man, the bible tells us he created us in his image. Why do some people have a natural tendency towards evil? What does that say about god?

Assuming for the moment that Christianity is correct , I submit that evil exists because god wants it to. If you accept the fact that god is all-powerful, there is no other explanation.

We have in our culture knowledge that Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny is fake. Its a clearly defined thing.

While I do NOT believe in God, I also acknowledge it hasn't been disproven to be a real entity, while Santa Claus has.

I just ask cause it rises I believe a failure in the atheist community, to propose these arguements of "weak atheism".

"Strong atheism" I think is a more philosophically unnassailable position.

Just asking, food for thought. Still no God, not preaching, more a logic exercise for my Atheist friends.

Not trying to convert them to Agnostocism either I love you just the way you are. Again, its just a question.
