Christians are taught that they're born bad.

Atheists are taught that we all can be good.

Christians are taught that god will forgive you no matter what you do.

Atheists take responsibility for our own actions

Christians are taught that no sin is greater than the other

Atheists rely on common sense. Murder is worse than lying about your age

Bush claims to be a Christian. And many Christians feel every word of the Bible is true and should be followed. How do you figure in recent happenings concerning illegal immigration? Lev19.33-34 When an alien resides with you in your land, you shall not oppress the alien. The alien who resides with you shall be to you as the citizen among you; you shall love the alien as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.

If we were all sitting in a room together, do you think some would still have the audacity to make such rude comments... face to face? Or is it possible this may offer the protection needed to take on such a cowardly approach to opposing views?

living a normal christian life in which you spend nearly as much money (and time) on yourself and your family as do non-christians on things that aren't absolutely necessary (Sattelite TV, nicer clothes, video games) ............

or do you think it would make u and god happier if you had forgone ALMOST ALL unneccesary material goods in this life so that all that money (and time) you would have saved on that could be used to please god, by either helping your fellowman (poverty, sickness) or perhaps all that extra saved effort could bring maybe 7 or 8 more souls into heaven for eternal, ETERNAL salvation and reward?

I'm Protestant... I do not ask this to spark controversy, I just want to know.

It is said in the Bible (by Paul or somebody...) that it is advantageous to be celibate than married, but that marriage is better than burning.

Also that there are those who are privileged with celibacy, who can focus on their ministry rather than worrying about a family.

But I think that those who are monks have sworn themselves into that lifestyle and should not question it. I guess it's a personal decision for a person to marry or not, but isn't it also a personal choice to become a monk?

Luther promised God to become a monk if He would save him from the storm. I believe that he broke this promise when he decided to break his promise of celibacy.

The background for this Question is :

Well known Indian Muslim Human Right Activist, writer, and English Theater actress - Ms. Shabana Azmi, condemning recent attacks on Indian Muslim Women by Muslim youths who beat up Muslim Women who did not wear the head to toe "veil" called the "burqa", where some ladies suffered acid being thrown on them and one had her nose cut off, said that Islam did not require Muslim women to cover themselves in this fashion and opined that the attackers should be punished to the fullest extent of the Law. Decrying the incidents, she said that Islam could not condone such vicious acts and the claim of the arrested assailants of "religious activism" was untenable.

Interestingly, the Indian Bar of Advocates, including their Muslim Chapter, has refused to these people as well as two recently arrested Pakistani Terrorists, preferring "Contempt of court" for rejecting the appointment.

It's common practice to make comparisons btwn animal behaviour and human nature (fight or flight, pheromones, infidelity). However, no one can deny that humanity surpasses anything that has been observed in the animal kingdom. No animal has even come close.
Logically, that would indicate we are made of different stuff.

Evolution has attempted to explain our physical development, but what about the rest? What are we, if not animals?

There are a lot of folks who seem to have found god, but are at the same time, quite evil in their actions towards others... George Bush is responsible for the deaths of thousands of people- civilians, women, children, you name it. Is he going to go to heaven? What about Ken Lay who went to church every week but robbed thousands of people of their life savings? I personally know one woman who is 'born again' yet she hates on around half of the people she meets...

How can religious institutions accept these people, and how come all of them are so sure they're going to the good place?

there are so many different religions. im full japanese without any religion. i respect those who believe in God, i am not against it. I was talking to my fiace about religion (he's a christian) he believes that God is real and if you truely believe, love him, respect him, and put him before anything, you will be send to Heaven. BUT what about those who believe in different religion? like, Buddha? I bet they are saying the same thing about Buddha too..right? So how does this work? Is God really true? what if we were wrong in the end? what if Buddha was the one who created this world? What will christians(or others) say when they find out it was Buddha (or others) who created this world? sorry, this is a hard question..i dont even know how to ask it.

If he's invicible he must be a God which makes a mockery and a hipocricy of that religion. If he's not a God, he's not invincible and can be dealt with. But why is a new Imam needed? Is Oil not foretold in the Koran? To subjugate non-believers, it only requires the oil tap turned off. If he come as promised, will someone tell him about Robert Burns who said "The best laid plans of mice and men oft go astray"?
