I attack no one. I believe that people should live and let live. What you choose to believe is your own business. You want to believe in the Bible, that is your right. You want to believe in the Koran, that is your right. But, If your holy book teaches that all people who don't believe as you do are wicked and should be destroyed, then I think I have some reason for concern.

Is it me or does Richard Dawkins come across as a bit of an elitist? I applaud some of his methods but his confrontational tactics do make it seem like he thinks atheists are better than other people.

Am I just looking at it the wrong way?

In the moral law which are the 10 commandments we are given the Law of God in this law we have been told that we are to observe the sabbath of GOD. Which is still saturday as any good jewish lad can tell you. From the new testiment if you have broken one of the laws you have broken all the law. Baptist churchs in America have services on Sunday and work on Satruday. Now this is Sin according to the bible! Are the baptist accountable to Gods Law? Does God hold them accountable who sin? What are the affects of sin on a ministry that does not repent and change there ways?

I have been looking into religious QA since yesterday as I hope some of my answers are going to be answered. I have spoken to Moslems, Christians and Hindus online. Because of My beliefs about Jesus I am often an outsider to Christianity and Hinduism is a bit to weird to me. Islam was not looking so great because of the comments I read from people, but I started looking at the questions moslems post and the answers and their blogs and I found many are not as bad as people make you out to be. Is it Moslems or Muslims? Any way I do not want to bother you guys if you want you can email me at cleopatraramsey@yahoo.com. I am not from Egypt, I just like egyptian stuff.

Please see my previous question and you will understand why I feel like an outsider:

After spending 24 years within the Catholic Church, I find myself at a crossroads.

The Church a feel close to a secure within now causes me to question my faith. The conservatism of the church has pushed me away. My wife and I now find worshipping within an organisation which has particular views on women and homosexuality difficult.

We find literal interpretations of the bible difficult to swallow, and want to be involved within a forward thinking liberal church.

Is there such a thing as liberal Christianity that doesn’t exclude members of our society?

It's true... everyone will always proclaim what they believe as the ultimate truth and the ultimate answer to everything. They never question themselves because they already 'KNOW' the truth.

For example..

The atheist says 'There is no God'. He doesn't say 'I don't think there is a God'.. he says 'There is no God'. And that's final.

The Christian says 'There is one God, and He only accepts Christians into Heaven. You must be a believer in Christ otherwise He will not let you in there'

The Muslim says 'God is Allah, and He only accepts true-believers (Muslims) into Heaven... all infidels will perish'

Same thing with Jews, Catholics, Hindus... all across the board.

No-one ever comes along and says 'look I'll be honest, I'm only a human being, I don't totally understand everything about God and the Universe. Maybe God doesn't care what religion you are, He cares more about how you treat others and how you live your life' or anything.

So why is it like this?

Though I've defined myself as an Atheist for the past 6 or 7 years or so, I've recently come to declare myself an Agnostic, simply due to my inability to knowingly, concretely prove or refute the existence of God. And yes, I'm aware that there are, of course, many other religions beside Christianity that put stock into some sort of higher being(s), but Christians definitely seem to come under fire more often by Atheists.

But in all actuality, isn't the Atheistic position just as "ignorant" as Christianity, Islam, Judaism, or any other proponent of any religion that claims to have the answer? Who here can prove the existence or nonexistence of a higher power? Sure, someone could say that they find it highly improbable or illogical to believe in a higher power, and I would certainly be among them. But to completely refute the potential existence is operating on that same claim, just relying on a different form of faith.

My greek in laws are ever interferring. They didnt even show up for their only child's ( my hubby) wedding.
Besides they go to their church only on good fridays and I go to my catholic church . at least every sunday. I have tried to get along with them ever since I married their son but I feel so disrespected for them (in laws) to just assume the baby will be baptized as Greek Orthodox- I honestly wont have any problem with it if they were practicing their faith but I only see them go once a year n stand outside the church? waiting to light their candle n go home-is this what my son will do too ? Whereas I grew up raised and schooled as a Catholic although I knew my church has a lot of flaws.
Should I let them also decide to baptize the baby in the greek faith just becoz I'm scared he might have a heart attack and die ? My only fear is I might regret this if something actually happens to him- he is 74 y. o. & has hypertension but is otherwise ok. I need to hear from others

If I don't believe in the Bible, quoting me scriptures from the Bible is not going to convince me that I am wrong, as I don't believe in the Bible as the word of God.

How does he take out the life of an embryo in the womb of his mother? Does he reach it through any part of her body or the spirit responded to his call with the permission of God? Or does he stay with him in the mother's interior? How can he who is unable to describe a creature like this, describe God?

If the Bible was inspired by God, why would it contain so many fallacies in it. Why would God need to pass his word on through human beings. Why do we need to accept everything on faith, just because the Bible tells us to. I, for one, can no longer believe that the Bible is the word of God.

Does the bible not tell us that we are to work our our salvation with fear and trembling. Does the doctrine of security of the believer as presented by the baptist faith undermine the be holy part of Gods instructions. And thus lull people into a state eternal sin.

Does this really make sense to you? To me, it just doesn't add up. A God of love would not send people to eternal damnation. Could it be possible that hell was invented by some religions as a way of controlling the masses?

I love Jesus, But I do not know if I can consider him God. I do not go to Church. I took a couple of Classes on Christianity and found out the bible had many errors. That shaked my confidence in the bible. I believe in God, but I am not sure about the bible. I ask myself why when you pray you only say Jesus, you do not really say holy spirit this or God that. I am re-evaluating my beliefs. I love Jesus but how can you reconciliate all the confusion????

Why do people feel that we have to have a greater purpose for being on this planet? Why won't some people even consider the idea that this is all there is and nothing more? We are born, live a little, and then we die, and that's all there is? Would that be so terrible?

Many say they believe Jesus is a prophet of God, or they respect Him, or even love Him and yet they do not consider Him to be Truth. You have to either believe He was not sent by God and was a blaspheming liar, or you have to believe He is what He said He is - the Son of God and the complete and utter Truth.
