Ironic choice would be Ringo, but I think it will be Paul.
Wasn't Paul dead, or was he the walrus?

Is Ringo a Christian? I don't think Paul is.

Jesus was and is an amazing being. Yet no one, that I am aware of, has embraced his teachings. So many of us have become the hypocrites he spoke of.
"...ye are like unto white sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness." (Matthew 23:27)

I contacted the ACLU on Monday for help. You see, they are forcing my Daughter to learn about evolution in 8th grade earth science class. This strictly goes against hers and most of the other students personal beliefs. The ACLU informed me quite firmly that they could only help me if they also made her learn about Creation. Why are they so hypocritical?

In answer to a question about Sherlock Holmes, someone answered that he was real, because there was a plaque on a house in London where he lived. He was fictional, of course, but Arthur Canon Doyle's use of real places and persons in his stories have convinced many that his characters are real.
Could this be the case with Jesus? Does the fact that the scripters contain references to real persons, places and historical events prove that Jesus did in fact exist?

Do you think if enough of us asked, that Yahoo Answers would put a place on here just for us. Just for us to share the word of God,so that way all the others would not be (bothered) by our questions. I mean the other so called Religons. So we won't be offending them, what do you think?????

The Scriptures relate that Almighty God particularly blessed this young woman by choosing her to be the mother of Jesus. Jesus’ birth was unique in that Mary was a virgin when she conceived him. Certain churches of Christendom have long reserved a special veneration for Mary. In 431 C.E., the Council of Ephesus proclaimed her “Mother of God,” and today many people are taught to pray to her.

The Gospel account of Luke records that one of Jesus’ disciples requested of him: “Lord, teach us how to pray.” In response, Jesus began: “Whenever you pray, say, ‘Father, let your name be sanctified.’” During his Sermon on the Mount, Jesus likewise instructed his followers to pray: “Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified.”—Luke 11:1, 2; Matthew 6:9.

The first thing we learn, then, is that prayer, or worshipful address, should be directed to Jesus’ Father, who is Jehovah. Nowhere does the Bible authorize us to pray to anyone else.

but when they are told an opinion different to their own i.e. Jesus was a false prophet, a liar, and saved no one.
they get rather agitated.

So christians, can you see what it is like when you condem people to hell, call their religion the work of the devil etc. IT IS NOT NICE IS IT?

Every time someone tells you that you are going to hell, or spouts off some nonsense like that we should report them for inciting violence/hatred right?

I won't deny that the question did in fact do those things, but it was a joke, which I should have known people can't take. However, people that call non-believers stupid, morons, idiots, or tell them "You are going to burn in a fiery hell for eternity!!" it seems are inciting hatred.

Church is just like any other business. The people with money get what they want, the new people are viewed as outsiders, there's as much politics as in the capital building, I don't like it, it seems quite unchristian.

It seems most do not.
How many of you HAD TO LOOK the definitions up TO ANSWER this??

If you want non-believers like myself to take you even slightly seriously, it helps to know the definitions of the words you use...if only to stop your point being lost in the laughter...

People tend to laugh at cultists and cults because they are so brainwashed. What is the actual difference between that and other religions?

I'm not looking to inflame anyone.
Religious fanatics in both camps seem to do a lot of crazy things for a belief system (like denial of bacon, or praying 5 times a day or mass suicides).
I worry that doing things other than for the survival of you and your species may be inflicting more damage than it is solving.
If there is an adaptative reason for a belief system I want to know it.

Does God have a warehouse full of souls in heaven that he places in the bodies of babies and if so were do the souls of rapist murderers and psycopaths come from? Is this Gods work as well or does the devil have a hand in soul placement as well? I am a believer and would like to know. You might say we are born innocent but from everything i have seen some people are just born evil and there is nothing to be done about it.
