Don't you ever think that god might possibly use something besides the bible to reveal something to you or teach you a lesson? Wouldn't it be natural to assume that an all powerful deity wouldn't have to work within the limits of a book, even if it is his book?

I've heard this phrase used dozens of times ... especially when I share my experience about becoming an atheist. The things I describe don't line up with the bible, therefore I must be a liar.

Can God be worshipped by people who do not believe there is a God? For example an honest & good natured atheists who works as a surgeon?

Evolutionists claim that plants evolved from fish. But plants don't have bones, or lungs, or scales, or fins! They can't move at all, much less swim around. Doesn't that disprove evolution?

If the bible said:
1 Thessalonians 4:15-18
For this is what we tell YOU by God ’s word, that we the living who survive to the presence of the Lord shall in no way precede those who have fallen asleep [in death]; 16 because the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a commanding call, with an archangel’s voice and with God’s trumpet, and those who are dead in union with Christ will rise first. 17 Afterward we the living who are surviving will, together with them, be caught away in clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and thus we shall always be with [the] Lord. 18 Consequently keep comforting one another with these words

Who has killed in the name of Jesus and grown very wealthy exploting the masses urge to seek redemption in God's eye. Also, who has used religion to start wars, claim nations and massacare the innocents who didn't even speak the same langauge to convert to, to begin with. LET THE NAMES ROLL.. "WHO IS THIS CRUSADER?"

Dictionary.com says religion is:

a SET OF BELIEFS concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, esp. when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving DEVOTIONAL and ritual observances, and often containing a MORAL CODE governing the conduct of human affairs.

How come they all share a SET OF BELIEFS (lack of faith, evolution, our existence, religion = war, etc.)


They all have same MORAL CODE..... but are hypocrites like religious...(treat others as you want to be treated...so MANY atheists do that!)

They all worship the same HOLY BOOK (the god delusion)

They all go to similar places for DEVOTIONALS? (strip joints, bars, coffeehouses)

Sounds AWFULLY religious to me.

Thoughts?

Will there be eventually denominations of atheism?

Seriously, like several in the last couple of years, I am a christian, but to each his own, I do know my way inside and out and up and down every new age thing that exists, witchcraft, other religions.
And they pop up telling me they can cast this or that spell
Make me love them, harm would befall me etc
Honestly, it's one of the lesser powerful arts I studied when I did study that garbage(before I was saved) LOL
I wonder if they are organized, or whether it's coincidence, or just heavy in my area?
It's funny, one I laid hands on and spoke in tongues, and she jumped across the room, swore I "stole her power" and from that day forward was convinced I was a high warlock, and not telling her
That was the power of god...LOL

My question applies to anyone who is after just the worldly things: money, luxury cars, mistresses for men, other guys for women, vast real estates, influence, and dominion over other people including relatives and friends. At the end of the day these people would need only a kilo of nail for wooden or metllic casket or a kilo of molded clay for cremated luxurious body and a small lot of land where it could be buried until the wind blows upon it or the itchy worm spread the last taste of rotten flesh.

A fellow Christian had this to say:

"Am I animal? No . But man would like to be animal. Why? No accountability to the creator.
Am I animal? No for I chose not to jump the fence and pork another human of the same gender.
Am I animal? No. For i have free will.
Am I animal? No for even though God used the same dna componets to create me as animals I seek to GOD."


If you resist homosexuality, have free will, and feel that you are "accountable" to and seek GOD..... are you then something other than a mammal?

Every time I hear some religious person talk bad about evolution, they always scream, "I did not evolve from a mokey!!!" Well DUH. Do you realized the sheer number of animals that probably came between us and the monkey? It wasn't a straight jump. We didn't one day sit on the tree branch eating a banana and in 2 seconds jump down and put on a suit and go to work. Things take TIME!!! Why can't people understand this?

I know that people tend to be selfish and wicked and that unbelievers use it too, so that's not the answer I'm looking for. And you can't say "because real Christians don't sin," because we do.

Simple who was the first human being going to heaven Jesus or Adan , because certain christians believe that Adam is in heaven despite he condemmed billions of people to death, and is against what Jesus said in John 3:13, so if that is right that Adam is in heaven Jesus lie, don´t tell me about Eliah because in the bible he appears 8 years later alive
(2 Chronicles 21:12), Who is giving wrong information Jesus or Christians?
