do atheists go to different schools?
do Christian and atheist scientists hypothesize cures for diseases differently using different pieces of technology?
Do they think Christians reason everything as a result of God and never research cures, create technology, analyze perplex equations with scientifical thought?
does Christianity make one's IQ lower than an atheist automatically?
Christians don't think and receive higher education?

I didn’t know religious affiliation determines your intellect acumen. I thought it was education......where does this intellectual supremacy come from?

My question is why is everything black or white, light or dark, good or evil? Is this the way life is suppose to be, it would be easier if we didn't have to walk on egg shells all of our life making sure do the right thing so we get to heaven? Then why do we scorn every other religion?

If Judas had said, "No!" to the religious leaders, would they have found someone else to betray Jesus ? After all, they had some people who lied for them when they tried Jesus. The religious leaders knew and reconized Jesus. They didn't need someone to point Him out! In any event, the "plan" would have been carried out!
Wouldn't you agree? Try to think outside the Bible on this!

To strenghten my question i will support by ,
Firstly.Saladin the great known as gentle knight,in one instance , in few people kidnapped a christian baby girl from their camp.The mother of that girl was suggested by other people to go to muslim sultan he is very humane and compassionate.When she met,sultan had tears in his eyes.he immediately ordered his men to produce that baby girl.His men searched and found that kidnappers had sold her.When sultan came to know about this.He paid the amount to purchasers and returned the child to her mother.
2.When muslims for the first time captured yerusalam inthe period of caliph omer,during his tour of city he offered his prayer in one of the churches of city,the moment he came out of the church he realized his mistake and said i have done a big mistake,if caliph of islam will start offering his prayers in churches all the places will turn mosques.Than he invoked a clause inthe treaty of yerusalam that no church will be converted into mosques

If Jesus is God then why when the devil tried to tempt him Jesus answered:

"Away from me, Satan! For it is written: 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only'"

Instead of “Worship ME your GOD”?

Ok, I really don't want any ignorant Christian answers(though I know Ill get some). Im a Luciferian and want to know why we're considered evil. We're called a cult(but then again, we don't claim that we're the only true way, so doesn't that make us less of a cult than other religions?) We're said to sacrifice and torture( No true cases have been proven of our people doing such things for religious purposes). We're called evil because we follow Satan/Lucifer(why does this make us evil, it's not like we believe he's the being from the bible, worshipping that would just be dumb. We believe he's the being written about in the inspired texts of the Yezidi(which are older then the New Testament) and the many texts written by Aliester Crowley. This being and the demons who are under him are not evil, but neutral. They wish for us to indulge into carnality along with paths of enlightenment and spirituality to become everything we can be, reach our highest potential). Why are we slandered?

As we know, the religious leaders of that day wanted Judas to betray Jesus, even if Judas was hand picked by God to allow this, AND, if Judas told Jesus about what the religious leaders wanted him to do, what do you believe Jesus would have said to Judas?

don't get me wrong, i'm a christian, i love god and christ with all my heart and feel their presence in my life has made my life better but how bout all these bible thumpers who talk about saving everyone and finding God. Well, first of all God is much more capable of finding me than I am Him and furthermore, if God is all knowing, all seeing and all loving, why do you question his will for our lives. I can assure you that God would much rather you be a good example to people who need to know him than spewing inaccuracies about what he may or may not want for my life.

5. So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD. 6 And He buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth Peor; but no one knows his grave to this day. 7. Moses was one hundred and twenty years old when he died. His eyes were not dim nor his natural vigor diminished. Deuteronomy 34:5-7.if Moses wrote the books of Moses how can He say about Himself that He died? did He resurrect also and say 'I died when I was hundred and twenty years old'?

I'm talking about neo-Paganism. Wicca, Witchcraft, etc. Do you think it is a religion or a cult? Do you practice this religion? (I only say religion there because I believe it IS a religion and not a cult.) Do you at least appreciate the beliefs of those who belong to this faith, or do you consider it bogus. (For the record, I am Pagan/Wiccan.) PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't be rude with your answers. If you would like too quote the Bible, Torah, Qoran, or Book of Rigatoni, go right ahead...just use it to explain YOUR PERSONAL BELIEFS...not why I'm going to go to Hell. I really don't want to hear it, and that's not what this question is about.

I will be adding comments to this, asking about other aspects of this topic. If you would like, please come back and edit your posts to answer those parts, too.

If you are Pagan/Wiccan, I would love to get an email from you!
