I just want to understand. I'm not selling or pushing anything. Everyone who answered my last question assumed I was pushing my own view but I'm really trying to get another perspective on life. I want to understand the other point of view.

What tells you to be a good person? What tells you that a terrorist or a criminal is a bad person?

I'm not asking for a justification of your existance I'm asking for an explaination of your beliefs.

Most of the times we see that the religion is stopping us from doing something that we love and if we do that, the society does not accept it as good thing. Do you really think that the religion is more important in ones life than any other thing.

The Tamilnadu Government is bringing out the temple affairs into the hands of non-brahmin to properly manage. I have my own reservations about proper management of the temple affairs in Tamilnadu. I am surprised to find no protests from the Hindus as well as from the brahmins. No God, No Peace; Know God, Know Peace.

In ancient Babylon, the feast of the Son of Ishtar was done on December 25th for her son’s birthday.

Then jump ahead hundreds of years, Rome is worshipping the birth of the Sun God, Mithras.

The first pope (some will say peter but peter never went to Rome) Pope Constantine was a Sun worshipper. Constantine renamed his worship of Mithras and gift giving holiday and called it Christmas for the Christians that he brought into the Empire.

Since Jesus (John 15:19 ) was speaking of being no part of the world and the world Worships Mithras on DEC 25th then wouldn’t they be considered pagans?



John 15:19 - “If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

only rt66lt actually answered the quetion. Everyone else is either off in la la land ("Look at the horshoe crab") or assuming that I believe God helped evolution along.

What I am looking for is an answer from somebody as to why direct creation by God is a superior belief to what might be called 'God-guided' evolution (And again for the record, I believe in pure evolution without invervention by a god)..

Is it because the bulk of the government is made up of Christians and there-by could be called a Christian nation?

Are people tainted by alot of money? Why is it that people are jealous of people with money but at the same time they complain because they have none. I have noticed several questions on this site complaining against Churches that have a supply of funds, saying they should give it to the poor. (you can't help the poor if your poor too)

They seem to be bereft of any comprehension that they are the minority and merely tolerated.

An atheist?

But if you disbelieve and you're wrong, you lose everything.

Substitute the name of any pagan god/dess into the question. Get the picture?

"Evangelism and the Sovereignty of God" by J.I. Packer

It opened my eyes about the sovereign will of God and why we evangelize to begin with. It's a wonderful resource for defending Calvinism as well.

Anyone else read it?

Not even a single reference about Jesus Christ or God is made in all the six heavy books of Harry Potter. Doesn't this prove Jesus and God do not exist?

If Jesus was the son of God and/or God then the miracle should/could've been that as he popped his head out of Mary's body he could have said, "yo yo damn that was tight!"

I'll tell you, I would be a believer if that was what actually happened.

..for a sunset? For color itself, fragrance, the feeling of warmth, healthy children? Imagination, love, the pleasure of meaningful activity? The intricate balance of the universe that makes life possible?

G. K. Chesterton wrote, "If my children wake up on Christmas morning and have someone to thank for putting candy in their stocking, have I no one to thank for putting two feet in mine?"

An atheist friend of mine once, in a moment of vulnerability, confessed to praying sometimes, saying thanks..."just in case."

In accordance with Deuteronomy 22:28-29. If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father.

It's not like she had a choice in the matter.
