Satan frightens me because he can contact me through a piece of compressed cardboard.The Virgin Mary contacts us through Grilled cheese sandwiches. Don't they have a bigger budget.

Why don't demons contact us through dominos or Monopoly. Probably because its not melodramatic enough.Satan likes a dark room, candles, and an Oujia board. Brightly lit rooms with flower embossed sconces don't work. Don't forget motivational posters demons hate those.

If he forgot he created them and then goes on to demand the world puts blind faith in that he made adam in his image, otherwise kicking them straight to hell, then i forgive god. Because sometimes i forget if i had cereals or ham and egg for breakfast.

Has Christianity, at its grass roots, become diluted through centuries of secular, power hungry individuals and nations? If this is the case, is it still possible to derive His primary teachings through the Bible, given translations from Aramaic, Latin (Vulagate), Greek and English? Is the increasingly secularity of Europe representative of this or simply cynicism of faith and spirituality because of technology?

If god created the world, that means he created the universe too right? And if we follow that train of thought and put it in the context that the universe is always expanding, so that means right now god is somewhere out there creating a new portion of the universe. So if all the people who claim to believe in god stop working and start dedicating their lives to building a super-fast rocket ship, we might meet him one day. So, in effect, people who say they are holy or believe in god are hypocrates. And not only because of this scenario.

Innocent and ignorant Nigerians who are looking for miracles or have a belief in after-life are falling victims everyday in large numbers. The Pastors are laughing their ways to the bank. I feel very fraustrated and helpless to counter their claims and enlighten my fellow countrymen. Can someone provide me links to some international bodies consisting of fellow Atheists or Secular Humanists organisations for supports and assistance in forms of propaganda materials to face the new challenges which I intend to launch to counter this unacceptable religious onslaught in my country through enlightenment campaign using the media of Prints, Radio and TV?

1 Corinthians 10:13 "No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.."
I am aq 30 year old male and I am always tempted by masturbation, lust and porn. For me at times it seems like an obsession and that there is no way out.
If God promises in the bible that He will provide a way out, what is the way? How come I can't seem to see light at the end of the tunnel?

As the question says, wouldn't we all go to hell? If you "committed" a sin, you would go to hell right? Everyone person has committed a sin once in their life, so wouldn't we all go to hell?

Matthew 11:15-19
15He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
16But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,
17And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.
18For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.
19The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children. (KJV)

"There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown." Genesis 6:4. Who are these giants? Who are the sons of God (and don't say man, because man is differentiated from the 'sons of God')?
