Why wouldn't you want to be Christian and believe in a god? Let’s say there isn't a god. You still have a “friend” to turn to, that doesn’t judge you, teaches you to be a better person, has unfailing love, and forgives you no matter what you do. Now what if he WAS real? He is! Belief isn't weakness so why devoting any of your time here to demean people who believe in something it doesn’t make any sense.

if anybody says anything about Jewish people, they are all up in arms and we are doing hate crimes and eveything. I really do not have any problems with Jewish people other than this stuff. It is irritating. They are still Jesus' enemies.

Genesis says that the water got high enough to cover every mountain in the world. Mt. Everest is 29,000 feet above sea level. That means the water had to be at least 29,000 feet deep to cover every mountain. That's 5 1/2 miles.

I got some math gurus to calculate out how much water it takes to cover the Earth to a depth of 5 miles. Needless to say, it's a big number. Take a look: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AgE_vUnj0tE9IP6WTn28GO7sy6IX?qid=20070225133656AAg7pcq

There are 326,000,000,000,000,000,000 gallons on the Earth now. To have water 5 miles deep above sea level, you'd need more than 500,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, which, and I'm no math wiz, is thousands of times more water than is currently on the planet.

If Noah's flood is literal, it has to have been a divine miracle, and the water must have receded into oblivion.

Seriously, you say there is no higher power, yet you come on a site that is all about spirituality... this seems backwards to me.

I've heard a great many people mock the prophecies in the Bible. Predicting wars and rumors of wars, nation rising against nation...well, this is alot like predicting rain.
Really?
Can you, then, oh philosopher, agnostic, scientist, atheist, whatever...can you sit there and tell us for a fact that mankind will not find a way to live together peacefully in the next 2,000 years?
For that matter, can you promise that there won't be some atmospheric disaster that will change the climate? A meteor,. perhaps, like the one tha wiped out the dinos, or maybe a solar flare, or...
If you can predict with a surety that there will be wars for the next couple of thousand years, or that humanity will even be around for that long, I'd like to hear from you....
We can go get a lottery ticket...I'll pay, you prophecy the numbers for me, and we'll split the winnings.
Better yet, write your wisdom down in a book, so that people can argue about it for the next 2000 years...

A very sigificant number of Muslims worldwide genuinely believe they have a God given duty to establish God's Islamic-state by any means at their disposal. Is their methodology inherently wrong, by some standard of natural law? If so, name that law and how you know it exists.

In the final analysis, there is no absolute natural standard, the real issue is "whats in the best interests of humanity as a whole". Objecting to Islamic terrorism in and of itself merely plays into their rationale. If you say "terrorism is wrong" they respond with "you are bombing, this is terror".

The real problem with terrorism is not that its demonstrably "wrong" but that its so successful and availble to anyone, which thus threatens the free-state. Islamic-states or other totalitarian regimes have lmuch less fear and expenditures related to terror because their systems insulate them from this methodolgy.

Theres no way to stop terror, only the community that uses it...which we havent the backbone to

I think it is disgusting the way that Hollywood has their own agenda against Christianity. Wouldn't you know it the big pusher of the movie Jesus Camp is Jewish. (I don't necessarily condone what was done in the documentary though).

sure gay marriage is illegal in most places, but we all know that doesn't stop them from committing "the act". GOD says that its an abomination in the Bible, yet these people insisting on offending him thinking if they aren't seen its OK. Well its not OK! this needs to stop! what they are doing is unnatural and simply revolting!this infuriates me! How can we stop them from committing this disgusting crime?

Love and blessings

ARTICLE 11.

As the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion,-as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion or tranquility of Musselmen,-and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.

Treaty of Tripoli, 1796, 1806
The Treaty of 1796 proclaims America's Government is Secular.

Monday, May 29, 1797

The following written message was received from the President of the United States, by Mr. Majcom, his Secretary:

Gentlemen of the Senate:

I lay before you, for your consideration and advice, a treaty of perpetual peace and friendship between the United States of America and the Bey and subjects of Tripoli, of Barbary, concluded at Tripoli, on the 4th day of November, 1796.

John Adams

United States, May 26th, 1797.

[May 26 is the date when Adams actually wrote the above message]

I have been analyzing myself for a while. I noticed that I like to live my life with reason, logic and common sense. I also feel that stupidity is an annoying trait for anybody to possess. So am I really an Atheist at heart? What about a LaVeyan Satanist at heart? I do tend to agree with certain things that LaVeyan Satanism stands for. Or am I simply a human being who is Agnostic and believes in living life a certain way? So what says you the jury? Have fun with it? My feelings will not be hurt at all? Just try to be somewhat respectful okay. I do like certain religions such as Taoism, Buddhism, Shintoism, and certain religions as that as well.

I sometimes feel the presence of people who have passed on and dream about them talking to me. My mom & aunt also have dreams like this...which I didn't know until very recently. Also my mom has premonitions. Sometimes I think we are all just out of our gourds and other times I think it is too much of a coincidence not to be real. Opinions?

- You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.

- You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the Biblical claim that we were created from dirt.

- You laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in a Triune God.

- Your face turns purple when you hear of the "atrocities" attributed to Allah, but you don't even flinch when hearing about how God/Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in "Exodus" and ordered the elimination of entire ethnic groups in "Joshua" including women, children, and trees!

- You laugh at Hindu beliefs that deify humans, and Greek claims about gods sleeping with women, but you have no problem believing that the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, who then gave birth to a man-god who got killed, came back to life and then ascended into the sky.
