Wouldn't that glorify God to be generous in giving of your own abilities?

Certainly poor people could benefit from the resources given to the pastor. Didn't Jesus do this. Jesus was not materialistic like many of today's people.

Church say that we were "cut off" from God thats why Jesus came to die. However God spoke directly to many other biblical figures and God' spirit rested on many prior to Jesus.

The thing is that yes man has a sinfull nature but men still hav a sinfull nature even after Jesus was crucified

Constantine was the last true Emporer of Rome, as well as the first to pass a freedom of religion act. He who squaks loudest rules the coup and so Christianity grew far faster then less agressive religion. Constantine duped the "believewhatevers" into believeing that god guided his hand in battle.
After reunifying the Empire with this brillant move he held the Council of Nicea at which most leaders of the newly found christian faith gathered to finally agree on a belief. This is not only when the day of worship was switched from saturday to sunday, but where Jesus of Nazerth went from man to Messiah. Six years later the Bible was ratifed.
Constantine was baptisied on his death bed because the Pope refused to allow the church to be founded by a pagan.
1) Did you know that your faith was a political move made 1700 years ago
2) You believe in Red Sea partings and walking on water, but why not real history.

I can prove constantine existed with physical proof. what about your belief

then doesn't that make them even less likley to go to heaven? or do they think that God will award them with heaven for the conversions? or is it just a scheme to get them into there cult... and also if you don't get into heaven where do you go and does the bible support this or is it all based on private revelation?...

while christians supposedly believe there's only 1 God, yet they believe Jesus is god, the father is god, the holy spirit is god. is it that they don't really believe in 1 God, but they believe in 1 committee of gods comprising of 3 gods?. u think?

if athesits don't believe in God why do they even bother spending so much time trying to disprove something they say does even exist?? Is this crazy or is it just me . Personally if i did not believe in something i would waste my time trying prove to people i'm right.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana
bananas contain tryptophan which, when ingested, increases levels of serotonin in the body (the same effect as Prozac). This can lead to various mood-altering effects (Leathwood and Pollet, 1982) including a reduction in depression (Sainio et al., 1996). As well, Xiao et al. (1998) found that eating just two bananas a day for three days increased levels of serotonin in the blood by 16%.

John Donne's vision of humanity?

No man is an island, entire of itself
every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main
if a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were,
as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were
any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind
and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls
it tolls for thee.

-- John Donne

It makes perfect sense to me.

My parents were on a recent trip and viewed something uncomprehendable. As they rounded a curve ready to crass a small bridge. They drove into what they explained as the most beautiful of things. A rainbow. The rainbow could be seen from both sides of the bridge. Both the start and finish. They said the colors were so vibrant that they thought they were actually being abducted by aliens. They said the top of the rainbow was a few feet above the car, and that they were completely surrounded by this color. As they drove through it in the distance was another much less vibrant one . I didn't give it much thought at the time, but within the past 2 months, both parents have been diagnosed with cancer. I am a spiritual individual, and wonder if this occurence has any meaning to what is happening in their lives. Any comments would be appreciated.

Funny when you speak of God's Love the religious are the first ones to condemn, oh yeah that's the ones that killed Jesus.

Right?

It seems they try and invoke a feeling of guilt in their congregations through talk of original sin and being nothing without God or Jesus, and then they pass around the offering plate, right?

Benedict cited the words of a Byzantine emperor who characterized some of the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad as "evil and inhuman," particularly "his command to spread by the sword the faith."
The pope said Sunday that he was "deeply sorry" about the reactions to his remarks and that they did not reflect his own opinions. Earlier this week, he said his comments were open to misinterpretation and that he had "deep respect" for Islam.

At Islam's third-holiest shrine, the Al Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem, hundreds of worshippers hoisted black flags and banners that read, "Conquering Rome is the answer."

In the West Bank city of Nablus, Hamas supporters took to the streets after prayers, shouting slogans against the pope and waving Hamas flags. Raising their hands to the sky, the more than 2,000 protesters chanted: "We put up with hunger, detention and occupation, but we won't put up with the offending the prophet. We sacrifice our lives for you prophet."

I don't believe in original sins (neither do Jews)
I don't believe that Jesus' death was atonement (I believe that he came to guide and teach how to uphold the torah)
I believe that Jesus was a man, not God and the "son of God" as in its original meaning " servant of God".

The bible itself says countless time that no man will be helld accountable for the sins of another. Even in revelations it states that everyone will be judge according to his/her own actions.
