Look I have been around a lot of christians in my time. Quite frankly I know very few who really walk the walk and talk the talk.
They sin like hell then go to church and claim they are forgiven by Jesus. Why can't you be homosexual and get the same deal.
In fact I have actually had christians tell me that sex out of wedlock is the most forgiveable sin. What is up with this.

Many people would look onto Jesus’ death on the cross as a proof of God's love towards humanity, for he let his own son down in this to redeem humanity. Is this fair? I really cannot see the casual link between the death of an innocent man and the atonement of the human being's sins. On the other hand, what kind of God is this that can conform himself with the acceptance of this sort of behaviour in order to atone for third parties’ sins. Would you imagine what the world would be like if we applied this sort of solution in courts and justice in general. If you come to think of it you will probably realize this God would suffer from the very same illnesses that pull the nerves and muscles of every human being and, so far, this is no God at all. I’ve always tried to put this issue across many Christians but they simply would not catch onto it. They simply say Jesus had to die on the cross because we humans could not afford to pay for our sins with our own blood. What kind of cowardice is this? Is this what we should call an honourable attitude towards life and other people’s feelings and freedom? Is this what maturity should be all about. To put things simply I would say that if I break a plate but you guys pay for it, I am certain next time I shall break another plate. Can you guys not see this?

I don't get it. They always bring up the Crusades of 1000 years ago. They blame Israel, such a tiny little country, for Islam's hateful and barbaric ways. Don't they know Israel belongs to the Jews? Did they never read the real bible? Why won't they allow the rest of us, including Israel to live in peace and move forward? Is it insanity or Satan working through them. I think it may be both? What do you think?

If Abraham is a Muslims ans animals are Muslims and all who submit to God are Muslims then all Christians are Muslims is any of this reational? I know animals are not religious and Abraham was thousands of years before any Muslims. Can Muslims give up this silly notion up? come on guys you don't even believe the book of Mose's who wrote of Abraham the only way you would know if he submitted to God or not is from Jewish scripture. Isn't there one Muslim who can agree this is silly?

Is it wrong to get angry and mad? Jesus got mad at the moneychangers in the temple and turned over their tables. Does this example tell us it is okay to get angry?

How exactly does your soul become seperated from your body? Your knowledge and memories and personality are stored inside your brain, not in your heart. There is no such thing as a "spirit", just a personality. Inside a brain.

If you dig someone up and cut open their skull, I am quite sure you will discover that their brain is still intact.

How does it go up into heaven and down into hell? It's not possible!

Egypt, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq? Jews were expelled from all of these regions. The very few Jews still remaining in these nations are not allowed to practise their faith or vote. Just because Israel took in our refugees means they don't count? The middle east is rewarded for not supporting or taking in their refugees (half of whom are not...and are not descended from....Arabs who ever lived in Israel)? When The palestinians controlled Jerusalem, Jews were not allowed at the temple....Jews let Muslims there. Jews let Muslims vote. Jews have provided an education to Muslims in Israel. Jews allow Muslims to vote in Israel. Christians are allowed to wear a crucifix in Israel...they aren't in Saudi Arabia.

Muslims enjoy more rights in Israel then they do in their own countries....so why do people who condemn Israel not also condemn Iran's treatment of Jews?

It's not like they would be missed by the intelligent people, ya' know, only the weak NEED religion...!

To me that whole Discussion about Religion is like: "... ... AAahwaaahhh !!!! MY imaginary Friend is better and stronger than YOUR imaginary Friend, so there!!!"

TOTALLY USELESS!!!

Grown People fantasizing that THEIR BELIEF in a DEITY is superior to others...!

Jeez! GET A FRIGGEN LIFE !

The God in the Bible I read preaches love? Where is there love in Islam? Is stoning and whipping women an example of love? Is kidnapping, murder, oppression and suicide bombings of innocent civilians Allah's interpretation of love? Is killing anyone who is non-Muslim love? I don't get it? Do you?

Four out of five of my dreams about my faith were so morbid and have caused me so much despair. I'm angry. I've only had one dream that I could recollect where it wasn't some horrific nightmare. What am I supposed to do? Some crazy dream interpretation lady told me I'm going to rot in Hell, and that I'm a phone Christian. I've tried to overcome these dreams and get closer to Christ, but it has near killed my relationship with Him. No one I know has any answers. Everyone says something different. I'm ready to shoot myself. It's like I was single- handedly handed over to the devil, and I'll never get away from these haunting dreams. How could these things happen to me? I always feel like I'm on the outside looking in at all the 'other' Christians out there who don't have crazy dreams like mine. Their lives never seem tormented by dreams of desertion, doubt and death. Why? Why? I can't even function.

I've recently taken up studying Buddhism & I was wondering if Buddhists have any special kinds of tattoos? I know that mayans & other middle eastern tribes have special tattoos. Thanks

I saw a magic show on TV that showed these guys doing all of Jesus tricks = wine into water, walking on water, that kind of thing.

I would have thought it would have been easier to fool less educated people 2000 years ago than it is now?

There is an rebuttal often made to the argument from design, that goes something like this: If God created the universe, then his mind must be at least as complex as the universe itself is - because, according to the argument, nothing complex can come from something simple. To adapt the traditional analogy, if we found a watch on the beach, we would not suppose an idiot made it. However, if God is more complex than the universe, then there must be another God who created Him, and then another God who created Him, and so on forever. Furthermore, we are not justified in saying God's mind is infinitely complex, because we cannot infer an infinite cause from a finite effect. I am interested in hearing responses to the above arguments, to develop my thoughts on the issue, because while I have heard it put forth by many atheists, I have not yet heard any serious responses to it. If anyone, Christian or otherwise, knows of any books or sites that deal with it at length, I'd be interested.

Satan seems to have a free hand with things such as disasters and tempting Catholic priests to molest little boys.

The traditional view is that God let's this happen (but that doesn't make HIM evil!). But, what if God cannot control Satan. Maybe you should worship Satan just in case?!
