and Jesus was dead for three days before he "rose from the dead", does that mean that God was also dead for three days?

Or do you just accept it and say you're not supposed to understand it? Seems to me that God really would like us to understand Him and all if we're going to try to be more like Him and worship Him and all, right?

Do you think the Bible perhaps actually speaks of God as a metaphor - as the very nature of the universe and therefore responsible for everything?

Is it just the game of chinese whispers we've been playing for the last 4000 years that has changed this anthropomorphised this metaphor and made it the 'being' it is today?

As an agnostic and free thinker, I believe God as a metaphor is a lot easier to accept and take to heart than God as a person or father or anything human. What do you think?

Should a person who openly advertises their affiliation with a tax exempt quasi-religious organization be reported to the IRS when they post partisan political messages on Yahoo! Answers? Engaging in partisan politics is prohibited in order to have tax exempt status.

I thought God was the one that created the sunsets and all of the other stuff. So why thank Jesus? He wasn't even around. Seems kind of disrespectful doesn't it?

Or is there still time to invent another one so that we'll have someone else to call names? If there's still time, want to join up? Also I'm looking for a snappy name, any suggestions?

I stumbled across this answer to another question on here:
"You don't unless you have faith and the only ones that have faith are those whom God gives it to. So pray and ask God for faith and if He does you will believe that it is truth."

This is the belief of at least one Christian. Are there other Christians that feel this way? If so, why?

If you don't have the faith to pray to God, then you will NEVER receive faith, if it is a gift from God that is granted only to those who ask. Does this work for anyone?

I have a friend whos dad was in the RAF and he was telling me a story of when he was working in the Middle East!

A soldier's daughter, a young girl of three ran into a mosque without her shoes on and she was shot in the head!!!

Call that a peaceful religion- that absolutely disgusts me!

I keep seeing people say things like "This guy wrote a book on this religion and after doing research he converted to that religion!" But I find no evidence for this when I look them up.

Are people just making it up to try and make their arguments seem valid?

There are two answers to the above question that claim "Christians are to follow the law of the land as long as it does not conflict with our faith", and apparently slavery does not "conflict with our faith".

I find it incredible that anyone would want to belong to a faith that believes slavery is okay as long as it is legal. But if a slave is mere property, and not a person, what is to prevent christians in a country where genocide is legal from embracing such a law and acting in accordance with it.

As one of the answerers said, "Slaves were property... same as pencils, computers, and CDs are today". I am free to destroy a pencil, and throw it away or incinerate it, etc. If slaves are no better than a pencil, what is to prevent such a christian from embracing genocide?
