Based on logic alone, can we conclude that there is no God? or that it's impossible to know if there is or not?
Or if you believe logically there must be a God, how does faith play in?

Hitler (Christian)
Millions of Jewish victims of the Holocaust (Jewish)
Athiest Heroes of 9/11 (Athiest)
Innocent victims of 9/11 (Non-Christian)
Innocent victims of 9/11 (Christian)
Jeffery Dahmer - serial Killer (Christian)
His victims (non-Christian)

Non christian American Soldiers who dies in Iraq (non-Christian)
Muslim victims of suicide Bombings (non-Christian)

Do you really think all Christians are in heaven and all non christians are in hell? If so, do you wonder if your religion got this (unanswerable) question wrong?

Just watched the DaVinci Code and I must say it gets better every time I watch it,doesn't everybody else agree? And Dan Browns Angels And Demons is in production soon too,is anyone else looking forward to it as much as I am?

While it may be fictional in actual events,perhaps,don't you think DaVinci Code was almost insightful in it's ability to see the Church for the type of organization it truly is?

If you had an ant farm, would you require the ants to worship you? Would you burn them under a magnifying glass if they said you did not exist? What would you do to the ants who worshipped a different ant farm owner?

First of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say, "Where is this 'coming' he promised? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation." But they deliberately forget that long ago by God's word the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and by water. By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. - 2 Peter 3:3-9

My son, Adam, is studying overseas in Japan. Yesterday I recieved an email from him that says he is taking judo. Why would a boy who was raised in a good Christian home turn against his own?

Is it ok to ask you how you are doing today, because I have tried twice now to ask a question on how you are doing and everytime my question gets deleted by the "wonderfull" people running this show. My Bible teach me to love they enemy, so here goes again. How are you doing? I'm fine today. Tell me, have you always been Atheists, or did you convert to Atheism? This is a friendly question.

There is no more RELIABLE evidence for one religion over another.Ergo,how to know with certainty that one God IS the true God of all gods? Or, perhaps, there IS more than one God. Which ones NEED I believe in and how do I discern the truth?
Need I believe in some books first? Which ones? There are so very many "holy" books, how to KNOW which is the correct book or books?

2:128: "Our Lord, make us submitters to You, and from our descendants let there be a community of submitters to You. Teach us the rites of our religion, and redeem us. You are the Redeemer, Most Merciful.

I thought there is no such thing in Islam.

Does every body want there to be an eternal torment hell? Is the fire eternal? What is the final outcome, even for Sodom and Gomorrah Matt.10:15 of the fire shower???

Heb.9:27 It is appointed unto man once to die and after this the judgement [ when hell ];
1Cor.15:22-28,51-53 As in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive [ in order with the heavenly first and the earthly thereafter]; When is hell?
Rev.20:1-6 The heavenly first resurrected is with Jesus, 12,13 they resurrect the earthly.
Rev.20:14; How do you cast a sepulchre hell and death in a lake of fire? See Rev.21:8;
Rev.1:7 Jesus comes with the clouds and every eye shall see him, even they that pierced him, if they [ Roman soldiers ], did not see the hell that is taught, who does ?
Rev.21:1-5, all is made new and verse 8 is the second death.
Rev.20:7-10 is the final cleansing of the earth at the end of the 1000 years judgement day.
Is it me, or is something really wrong with heaven and hell teaching?

Titus 3: 3-7 - Jesus' mercy saves us, and belief in him - 'Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy'

Romans 10: 9-13 - Whoever believes in God and Jesus, and the stories of the Bible is saved.

Matthew 19: 16-30 - keep the commandments of not murdering, stealing, bearing false witness, honour your father n mother, love your neighbour as yourself and you will be saved. Sell posessions.

Luke 13: 22-28 - be humble, it is easier for camel to go through eye of needle than rich man enter heaven etc

John 3: 16-19 - Whoever believes in God and Jesus is saved.

1 John 4: 17-21 - Love others and love God.

The only convincing passage that MAY hint at homosexuals going to hell is Matthew 25: 31-46 where the righteous and unrighteous are separated to go to heaven and hell. But this is close to a passage about how by helping other people you help Jesus, so I see the 'righteous' more as being people who are kind to others.

You see them on the backs of cars all the time and on the local MaHaBone Lodge: a pentagram (point facing down) with FATAL written on it (Fairest Among Thousands Alltogether Lovely).

Is it coincidence that the Eastern Star uses the same symbol as Black Magick and Satanism?

I think it's human nature to have sexual urges, even if you don't want to. They should modernise (go back to the oldest version of the church where the 1st pope was married). They should really make women equal too, and let them be popes, bishops, prists, etc...

Thoughts?

I've spent a lot of my life trying to help people, to get close to people, and to make them happy when they're down.

Most of my attempts have met with utter failure, so absolute that I've come to a point where I honestly just don't care about people too much anymore. I'll always be willing to help them but I'm tired of going out of my way just to be met w/ anger and fear.

I'm also gay (but in the closet) and though its something that I've fought with for the longest time, I've learned to accept it and I choose not to make an effort to change what I feel is a natural compulsion (the attraction was always there I just didn't really feel it until after puberty).

I choose to remain "a sinner" in these two respects and I am not ashamed of either of them.

Every other sin I do my best to repent for and I'm still to many people "the nicest guy in the world".

So, if I choose not to repent for these two sins, will I go to hell, or will my other good deeds outweigh them?

My parents think i'm crazy! But when i chat to family members they say that "special powers" run in my family! Are my parents trying to protect me? I have often predicted births and then it happens, i also just have to think of a song or movie and it starts playing after about 5 minutes. Am i going crazy? Or do my parents want to hide me from the truth?
