If Jesus did not sacrifice himself, and be crucified, would there be more Christians or not? I would say less. That is because instead of killing Jesus, they would kill his followers most likely.

I saw christians on tv selling mail order "blessed water" with crying women, saying it healed their 10 lb stomach tumor, and one lady said she spilled it on herself and it made her paralysis go away. How dare you sell some BS like that and mess with people emotions while the rest of you christians sit back like a bunch of of pu$$yies and do nothing more than sit back and say "oh all of arent like that" you all may not be like that but you all do nothing about it. I though you were supposed to be good moral people?

Ex-Muslim website:

"We are apostates of Islam. We denounce Islam as a false doctrine of hate and terror. However we are not against Muslims who are our own kin and relatives. We do not advocate hate and violence. Muslims are the main victims of Islam. Our goal is to educate them and let them see the truth. We are against Islam and not the Muslims. We strive to bring the Muslims into the fold of humanity. Eradicate Islam so our people can be liberated, so they can prosper and break away from the pillory of Islam. We would like to see Islamic countries dedicate more time to science and less time to Quran and Sharia. We would like to see them prosper and contribute to human civilization. We would like to see the draconian laws of Islam eliminated and people are treated humanely. We strive for freedom of beliefs, for equality of gender and for oneness of mankind.

I've been studying this teaching for several years and never once found that the Trinity doctrine is explicitly taught in the scripture. The word "Trinity" is not even found in one place in the whole Bible. The scriptures used to back up the teaching can be applied in other ways. No solid evidence can found to support this teaching.

...but if anyone says anything bad about what THEY believe, they (the fundamentalists) burn with conviction about being persecuted?

If they don't want anyone mocking them, shouldn't they return the favor?

And I'm NOT only talking about Christian fundamentalists, either.

So basically Joshua told the sun to stop, but people can't stop the sun, its always in the middle. The bible is saying that we live in a geocentric universe but we live in a heliocentric one. What do Christians think of this? Sorry for grammar and stuff but I'm in a rush :O. I don't mean to insult anyone by the way.

Firstly, no offence to Christians, but what I am about to ask might offend some of you. If you still want to continue reading, please do.

#1. Who is God in Christianity? Some say its Jesus, some say its Jehovah.

ok, fine, if its Jehovah. We'll sub Jehovah as 'God' (like, Let X be God)

#2- If God is god, then who is Jesus? Some say he's the son of God. In Islam, Jesus is a Prophet (PBUH)

#3- If he is Son of God, that means God gave birth? God and Mary.... (omg, I am SO not going there!!!) or how do you explain "SON of GOD"???

#4- Is your god omnipotent?

#5- Why are there so many bibles around? What's the difference between bibles? Who compiled the bible?

#6- Why was the Testament allowed to be edited? Old and new- if it was the word of god, who gave people permission to change its contents and declare them as they wish?

Thanks for your interest, I appreciate it very much :)

I have been searching to find where I fit in the spiritual communty. I have reached a time in my life that I want to dig deeper into what I do and do not believe in, and would in fact like to find where I fit so that I may find other people to discuss similar beliefs with.

First of all I want to say that I have thought about this since I was about 12. Prior to that I was confident that there was a heaven and hell... Up until I started questioning EVERYTHING. Why I started questioning at that moment in time is probably a subject in another question! Anyways, I began thinking about life and death and my soul/mind/personal thoughts. I was raised in church, and the reason I believed in heaven was basically the same reason that I believed in Santa. My parents and others close to me told me so.
I eventually came to the conclusion that I do not believe in heaven or hell, a god or a devil. I did however find science a very interesting subject at an early age, and I am a very analytical person in general. I would take a T.V. apart just to see how it worked. That should tell you a bit about what I think is a common personality of a "non believer". (Analytical in nature) Seeking the truth in everything, some other characteristics may have to do with trust. If you have trust issues you will find yourself doubting things in life much more, as I know I do.
I have read alot and had many discussions on this issue, but above all else I have lost countless nights of sleep over it as well.
I believe that the belief of "heaven" is a basic human necessity. What I mean is that if you do not believe in a "supreme being" and/or a heaven, you do not have the hope that brings on most peoples happiness in life. To believe in something like that I could only imagine would have the opposite effect of what I have gone through. Peace of mind, tranquility, hope, faith, optimism, etc...
So, I feel that heaven in the concept that it is an actual place one would go to after death, and ones soul/mind would live on is incomprehensible and totally unblievable for me.
I do however believe that heaven can be a state of mind for the living. In my personal belief, someon who does ACTUALLY believe in any supreme being and an afterlife is in fact in Heaven.
Though I cannot change my personal views of this belief, I do want my children to believe in God and Heaven. After all, what father would not want their children to go to/be in Heaven?

We have created our governments, socities, infidelities, murders, greed for money etc. Who do you think is guilty in all this? Why do blame God. You have freedom to decide what to do - whether to do evil or good. So do not blame anyone exept yourselves. We deserve it because we ourselves want it

Even though we can't please everyone, the least that we can do is discuss our differences like civilised human beings...

I know that many think that inorder for your name to be Jesus, it must be Jésus (HAY-SUSE) But can your name actually be Jesus (Gee-sus) How come that name is not seen often? I've seen it in nicknames, such as Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, the poker player

I heard there were more than 10,000 saints. Apparently there is even one for computer viruses. Are there different computer virus saints for Mac and PC OSs? If so, the Mac saint is doing a much better job than the PC one because Macs never get viruses. Can we ask the Pope to appoint a better saint to protect PCs?
