Do they enjoy it for it's own sake, do they like the smell, or is Mr. God telling them to do it?

agree that the discussion of God is a spiritual matter and not an educational matter and given the ability to acquire this spiritual knowledge can only be given by God not books. This is why nonbelievers cannot comprehend

I just copied this

Here's the Atheist's comment

God believers are taught that this is just how it is and we're just born bad. Solutions are not valued or even thought about

Atheists believe that we can fix the problems by doing away with reiligion for a start



Here' the Christian's comment

They dont understand that we are imperfect, sinnful race, everywhere we turn, there are mistakes in every aspect of this sinnful world (only because we made it like that, God made it perfect, but we screwed everything up) :S

I'm from San Diego, and there has been this big debate to get rid of the cross at Mount Soledad(for decades)...all because of one person who happened to be an Athiest....why do they let it bother them? Why can't they just let it be? Same thing with Christmas on the Prado...an event in Balboa park that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. A group of Athiest complained and the event was changed to "December Nights". Christmas will always be known as a Christian feast commemorating the birth of Jesus.

Let me start by saying you do not have to believe in God or be religious to be respectful... So let's try to display a little respect for all people and their religions, honest answers only please.


This is a hypothetical question...
Do you think if everyone in the world who believes in God (what ever your idea of God is) would come together on one accord and agree that there is only one God and prayed to that one that all of these problems that people think should be solvable through prayer would be resolved. Hunger, homelessness, violence, murder, war etc.

Because if you think about it hypothetically speaking if there is truly one God how can he answer the prayers of billions of people on one targeted issue when everyone is praying to a different God, Deity, or Spiritual Being?


It's just a question and not an attempt at conversion so serious answers please.

Have social scientists done research on this? The Christians like to proseletyze and tell others how to live. Maybe they should just mind their own business, instead of forcing laws and their behavior codes onto others.

Can someone explain John 15:16? "You did not choose me but I chose you" doesn't show a God that loves all of mankind and hopes for everyone to come to him. If we do have free will, I sure ain't seeing it.

i am 17, and my mother always told me i do not have to go to church every sunday just to prove i believe in god, she says i must have faith within me, and know in my heart, and she also told me most people who attend church are the devils themselves, because they judge eachother, and most just hold alot of drama,and yes i know some VERY MEAN people that are in churches to keep busy, and ignore the reason why their really there, and that is to praise god.

within the faith? Wouldn't we all agree that we see the problem and that this does not disqualify or nullify faith or the existence of GOD? so why do non-believers focus on what we already know and see and agree with

if you have family members who did not convert when you did, who have now converted, did you play any part in their conversion? what did you find was the best way to discuss your beliefs with them without them attacking you? and how were you able to share your testimony? what helped them discover the truth and happiness to be found in the gospel?

and if you are like me...and are the only one who converted.. how do you set an example for your family members? what works for you?

i don't understand why mary is worshipped and not Jesus. Jesus was sinless, he came into the world without sin. Mary was sinfull, she came into the world with sin

I believe that those people who dwell on the literal interpretation of the Virgin Birth are missing the point.

Maria, as I know her, was a Virigin at her Soul (in her heart and in her thoughts, if you like), she was the most pure person in incarnation, when she gave birth to Christ.

With this being the case, a person who never did wrong, a person who never caused harm, a person who never spoke badly of others, does it really matter whether she conceived the natural way, by having sex, or not?

I personally believe that the emphasis on the physical denied Maria the emphasis on her as a uniquely pure person, one that gave birth, and brought up Jesus Christ.

Is there anyone who feels the same way?
