How can anyone respond to the question "If god so loved to world why are people suffering?" with the answer "It's because sin is in the world and we bring suffering to ourselves if we don't seek god". Seriously, if Christians think those poor babies in africa are starving to death because of their own sin and our sin they ought to be horse-wipped. Who honestly thinks that innnocent kids deserve to suffer because their families don't have "god"? Furthermore, who would worship a sado-masechist god like that? If your own child was suffering, would there be any chance in hell that you would let it continue simply because the world is "full of sin"? NO - You wouldn't! You would do everything in your power to help them. Quit using sin as a scapegoat for all of your answers!

and try your best not to give me the whole "well just look around you" argument.

Heres my proof there is NO god:
Tell me god has a reason for child molesters and I will slap you accross the face.
Tell me god had a reason for the tsunami that destroyed a whole country and killed hundreds of thousands of people.

If he/she/nothing is everywhere at once, why why he let that happen? to help someone else? A little boy gets raped and killed and that helps who now? the grieving family? or was god helping the serial rapist get his jollies off?

inmates who were executed or are serving prison term for crimes they did not commit. Even the thought of one innocent victim spending years in prison cell is enough to break your heart. They say we're merely travelers/visitors here on earth and we should not desire worldly riches or temptations. But there're many people who get to enjoy success, riches, tons of friends and are reasonably happy in this world who get to go to heaven because they're good christians. What about those other christians who are always poor, sick, lonely and miserable all their life. Why do they have to suffer in this life? How can God say that we're all precious to Him and that He loves each one of us equally? Even though I"ve been a christian all my life, the only thing that makes sense is karma/reincarnation. Your actions in this life will greatly affect your future lifes.

Mormons believe in Christ and the Bible, and yet most non-Mormon Christians do not believe in what Mormons believe, that Joseph Smith was a prophet, and that Jesus visited a group of Christians living in the Americas long before Columbus. Why is it that non-Mormons find Mormon beliefs to be absurd, when the Book of Mormon is just as miracle-filled and difficult to believe as the Bible? What, really, is the difference between having blind faith in the Bible and having blind faith in the Book of Mormon?

Suppose for a moment that God created life on another planet somewhere in the universe as well, far away, one we haven't discovered. Do you think the inhabitants of that planet would get their own Savior?

Not meant to be offensive to anyone--this is just for fun.

When Osiris is said to bring his believers eternal life in Egyptian Heaven we understand that as a myth.

Ancient people believed in eternal life, with the good going to the Elysian Fields and the not so good going to Hades, we understand that as a myth.

When Vespatian's spittle healed a blind man, we understand that as a myth.

When Apollonius of Tyana raised a girl from death, we understand that as a myth.

When Dionysus turned water into wine, we understand that as a myth. When Dionysus believers are filled with atay, the Spirit of God, we understand that as a myth.

So how come when Jesus is described as
the Son of God, born of a mortal woman, turning water into wine, raising the dead, and healing blind men and His believers got eternal life in Heaven and off to Hades—er, I mean Hell—for the non-belivers...Why is this real?

Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ the Son of the Living God, that He Is the Lamb of God to atone for our sins and raising from the dead for our justification is the foundation of the Christian Church. Jesus said the gates of hell will not prevail against it.

Did Mohammad reject the message of the Gospel (We can be reconciled with God through faith in Christ.)? Is that why The Koran denys Eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ?

Truth isn't an opinion and religion is, but religion claims to be the truth. Religious people are, therefore, incapable of honesty and undermine this fundamental aspect of civilisation.

Why does civilisation continue to tolerate, let alone respect, religions?

I was walking home froma local establishment last evening when to my surprise a great beam of light caught me and a booming voice called out, 'Get out of the middle of the road before you get knocked down', I then heard a great blast on some kind of horn device. I know that this was God calling me to safety what do you think?

I don't mean to offend anyone, I'm just honestly curious what exactly that means.

Is it, "I did something once and now for sure I'm going to heaven no matter what"?

or "I entered into the path of salvation, and it's a path I'm still walking on"?

or just "I became Christian"?

or something entirely different. Does everyone define it the same?

Thanks

or believe in the Trinity or enjoy Haloween, or wear anything that some pagan belief might have worn or used in their cults? Or to go to church any day other than Saturday is wrong.

They then judge other Xians for doing these things. Don't they know that God was a Trinity first? That every day is the Lords before a false god tried to claim it for itself? Did you know that false gods tried to usurp all Gods Identity? For instance the Lion. Jesus is the Lion of Judah. Satan goes around like a lion seeking who he can devour. There are pagan trinity. But God was a trinity first. For any name God is revealed, satan has a copy cat. God heals. Satan has lieing wonders.
