For those who say that Atheists have no morals, how can you explain the fact that I haven't lied in over four years. Not the smallest white lie. It's not easy, but I believe that a lie is not respectful to others.

If any christian doesn't believe me, it just shows the that you guys are so far gone, that you cannot even BELIEVE that such a person like me exists.

Could it be God was telling us how to handle theological disputes in Romans 15:1-3 ? Doesn't this back up the idea that rather than critisize others for their beliefs (or lack thereof), we should try to help them, and lifft them up?
Your interpretations, please.

It is unjust regardless of what the Bible says. I know when something is good or bad, and I don't need a book to tell me the difference.

A person just CANNOT be punished for the sins of someone else. If this happens, then there is no justice. The christian god is unjust. Never mind scripture. It is so.

For those who say that compared to god we are all sinful, I can only say, that god has no business to compare himself with me.

After so many religions in whom people are loosig faith and going for applied religion like Yoga and could some one start a new religion? The days of miracles are gone. People need peace and compassion, in a world with full of conflicts and war, hatred and terror.

There are so many paths that it is difficult to accept that all belong to one group called Hinduism. But at the end, all agree that there is only one God but they call it by different names and worship in different forms. Is it because it is an old religion and it has been evolving around the same eternal Truth that God is one but traditions differ.

Can a stone by called sinful for being a stone? If christians say that all humans are sinful, then is it sinful to be human? This cannot be.

I am proud to be a human, with all my characteristics. I refuse to call myself sinful, just by the virtue of existing. What is your opinion?

Eccl.7:8; Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof:

Where are the places that show the holy prophets and apostles celebrating anything but the passover, and the end of the thing is that is what Jesus ask. The Lord's supper is it.
The only thing Jesus truely left his believers to do or to see done.
Who and when did some one began with this celebrate the birthday of Jesus, JESUS IS THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD, WHAT IF HE DOES NOT APPROVE OF WHAT PEOPLE DO?

WE HAVE TO GIVE JESUS FIRST PRIORITY IN EVERY THING, HIS IDEAS ARE HIGHER THAN IDEAS OF MAN.

Many books have been published that present evidence that shows Jesus didnt exist.
I've been looking for some serious books that attempt to do the opposite and show that he was a real historical figure, can anyone please point me in the right direction?

Many thanks.

If you're the type who has everything, including immortality, would you care to find out if you have free will or care to exercise it if you have one? Would you rather remain in bliss, sort of not interested in the tree that gives knowledge of good and evil? Pls answer honestly.

The origins of all religious beliefs are not very well captured as most of the historical writings got destroyed or lost to elements, various rulers, eg Roman empire brought various aspects of different beliefs into one that accomodated all in the empire etc. The creator of the universe and as a consequence, even religions is the same, why can't humans just come together at a mutual conference and agree on one doctrine, or if this can't work, learn to appreciate diversity and respect other people's beliefs and way of life as acceptable to God?

Well I am a muslim and although I dont believe that Jesus was son of god, or that Jesus was god, and no I have no intention of changing that. However I am a great believer that Jesus was one of the Prophets of God, Allah, Rubb, Khuda, Bagwan, whatever people may call god, and so was Mohammed, Abraham, Adam, Noah, Moses, David. 124000 other prophets. And I think that its very sad to see people of non-christian faiths feeling offended by a christmas tree, for example dont the Hindus, Sikhs, Muslims, from the Indian continent have their Houses full of Tinsels and shiney decorations on Eid, Diwalee, Khalsa, Wasakhee, so why do people feel if they are being offended when they have these things themselves on their festivals, furthermore, if I as a Muslim expect other people to respect my feelings and wishes and join in my religious events I should show the same courtesy to other faiths and let them enjoy, their festivals with the christmas tree and santa clause
