I can't wait till he comes to show us the true way, he won't reject anyone and he won't threaten eternal pain to those that don't accept him. He will show everyone equally and we will all accept it.

It's a simple question, isn't it? We all know that amputated legs do not spontaneously regenerate in response to prayer. Amputees get no miracles from God.

If you are an intelligent person, you have to admit that it's an interesting question On the one hand, you believe that God answers prayers and performs miracles. On the other hand, you know that God completely ignores amputees when they pray for miracles.

How do you deal with this discrepancy? As an intelligent person, you have to deal with it, because it makes no sense. In order to handle it, notice that you have to create some kind of rationalization. You have to invent an excuse on God's behalf to explain this strange fact of life. You might say, "well, God must have some kind of special plan for amputees." So you invent your excuse, whatever it is, and then you stop thinking about it because it is uncomfortable.

Or, is it what it depicts itself to be; A history (actually a genealogy) of People who were inspired by God, not inspired by God, and sometimes simply people doing what they thought God wanted them to do?

(A loaded question, I admit. But please tell me, specifically, how you disagree with the above statement.)

The Westboro Baptist Church from Kansas came up to York to protest at York Senior High school. York Suburban High School's drama club did a play called "The Laramie Project", which deals with the reaction to the tragic 1998 death of Matthew Shepherd, a gay college student who was tied to a fence and beaten to death by two men.
The Westboro Baptist Church carried hand-painted signs with the words "God Hates America," "God is Your Enemy" and "Fags Doom Nations."
They met a counter-protest from a crowd with more than 10 times as many people who told them that neither they nor their message are welcome here. More than 150 from York and the surrounding area, who knew from the media, the Internet, myspace, and word-of-mouth the Westboro folks were coming, braved bitter temperatures outside the school Saturday night with their own message. "Go back to Kansas,"
This is the same group that wanted to protest at the funerals of the Amish Girls that were killed, but at the last moment didnt.

Real advances in knowledge are accomplished when people observe evidence and then draw conclusions from it. Fundamentalists proceed the opposite way. They decide in advance what their conclusions must be, then cherrypick the evidence to try to confirm what they have already decided they will believe no matter what the evidence says. Thus they "know" that evolution cannot be a correct theory, oh no no no no no, it must be the work of the Devil since it isn't what their "holy" books teach. Do you have to suppress your own intellectual ability in order to remain a fundamentalist?

a common aspect of an NDE is the sensation of unconditional love.. or is that just the devil tryin' to trick us into thinking that God loves people of all religions?

and we are not talking about drug-induced hallucinations, but rather those who experienced via temporary death or through out of body perception (through meditation or other means)

I studied to find what exactly Impressions created to Please for Gains in the above.
world war 1 &2 - Majority among christians - But focused as Country Economy.
Near 3rd world war - Rash attitude of Taliban - Direct effect on Hon'be Mr.Saddam's demise, Indirect Effect on Hon,ble Mr.Yaser Arafat's sickness health shock death, due to Iraq's sudden Missle attacks on Israel when Tentionous situation there.
Why ? None takes initiatives to mediate between Taliban and USA in their misunderstandings and all want to watch fights.
Most pathetic truth is - To gain Rich Christian country Funds, using Religious Tool, Israel is tortured resulting in How much Innocent Palentenien and Jewish deaths.
This is what I could finally conclude about the Religion Fears and Economy Fears Making world in fumes with innocent deaths.
Ultimate conclusion is
Russia, USA, Israel will not see Win or Loose in Wars - They Hit Hard if they are targetted.
Some Good Humanly Mediators can bring peace to all

I'm getting tired of Christians telling me that I'll go to hell if I don't accept their godman, Jeezus.

I believe in God, just not yours. I get really annoyed when they tell me to read their bible...first of all it's not their bible it's the Tanakh and that "New Testament" is an offense to the "Old" one. They're saying that God's word has become "old" and is not valid anymore. Why do they even do this? It's just another attempt to oppress the Jews.
