Why do people insist on bashing one's religion or beliefs. If one has faith in a God or Higher Power, shouldn't that be his/her given right. Atheists, I am including you as well. One should not be made to believe in a God or Higher Power if he/she does not believe in it. It also does not make it wrong. What do you think?

Before answering, please restrict your answers to why or what you do not like about Christianity the Faith and NOT what you dislike about the Christians. (I am well aware that the majority of those who claim to be Christians live out of judging others and not out of love, and therefore are NOT true representatives of Christ)
So please forget about the "Christians" and answer in regards to the belief.
Thank you for your answers.

It seems like it will be good show. Some of it is contraversial, but there are a some historical facts and artifacts which are supposed to be presented.

If someone said they were a pedophile, but wouldnt act on this, would you accept this? If not, why do you accept homosexuality?

100 years ago they were viewed as great deviations. Why do you assume as time goes on we are becoming wiser, and not just more immoral?

Just take a good look at a decent encyclopedia and the truth is right there!

Jer 10:2 thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the nations, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the nations are dismayed at them.
Jer 10:3 For the customs of the peoples are vanity: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman with the axe.
Jer 10:4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.

IN ANSWER TO MY QUESTION, WHAT DOSE THE FOOL say to GOD, someone quoted Judges 1:19.

The problem with Unbeliever Quoting the WORD OF GOD, is that they cannot understand what is being said?

(Judges 1:16-to-19) And the children of the Kenite, Moses' father in law, went up out of the city of palm trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which lieth in the south of Arad; and they went and dwelt among the people.

(Jdg 1:17) And Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they slew the Canaanites that inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. And the name of the city was called Hormah.

(Jdg 1:18) Also Judah took Gaza with the coast thereof, and Askelon with the coast thereof, and Ekron with the coast thereof.

(Jdg 1:19) And the LORD was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.

JUDAH = Not GOD, could not drive them OUT!

Thanks, RR

Would you rather:

think you know everything about life, the world, and the universe but have no way to verify any of it?

Or

Would you rather know a little bit about life, the world and the universe, be intellectually honest and say "i don't know the answer" about the rest, and be able to back it up with evidence.

Why are there so many "Christians" on here passing judgement with every word? It is very disturbing. I wish that everyone who called themselves a christian actually stopped to think about the message that they are sending, I don't think it's the one that they are meaning to. Would someone please tell me. And you know if you are one of the ones spreading hope, truth, and your faith. Then God bless. But to the rest of you. One question why?

Interesting part is Zheng He was a Muslim.
Many people also forget to mention that the navigators on the ship with Columbus were Moorish Muslims and also the compass used to navigate were invented and made by Muslims.

Did you know?

"Gap, which owns Old Navy, Banana Republic, Forth & Towne and Piperlime, has become the latest politically correct retailer, intentionally censoring the use of "Christmas" in their in-store, online and printed advertising.

Instead of referring to the season as Christmas, Gap instead uses the word "holiday." As hard as we tried, AFA could not find a single instance in which Gap-owned stores use the term "Christmas." Not a single time!
When one Old Navy store manager was asked by AFA if the word Christmas was in his store, he answered, "We have a lot of Christmas gifts in our stores, but the word Christmas is not used here. Everything is 'holiday.'"
Gap wants you to do your Christmas shopping with them, but they don't want to mention the Reason for the season. Gap doesn't want to offend non-Christians by using Christmas. The fact that their censoring the use of Christmas might offend Christians seems to be of no importance." Will this affect how Christians shop?

reasons to convert:
1)service is on Monday mornings, this way you miss work instead of NFL football
2)donations will not be accepted
3)we recognize the right of other religions to be as stupid as us
