I don't believe in God and I believe in the Theory of Evolution, but who came up with these labels, "Atheist" and "Evolutionist",

do these labels really apply? Is it not "their" word that they gave to "us" because they feel we are somehow sub-human.

Should we campaign and ralley against the English Language containing the words "Atheist" and "Evolutionist".

What words should replace them.

And yes, I'm intelligent enough to know that the Theory of Evolution does not deal with the existence of God.

A few years ago "Miss Cleo" and her associates at the Pychic Hotline were sued by the FTC for making false paranormal claims. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miss_Cleo How is this any different from the hucksters like Benny Hinn who get money from their sheep by making false claims they have the power to heal.

BTW Ever notice the suckers in these scams on the most part are pentacostal types that believe in creationism and literal interpretations of the bible?

By rules of self righteousness by saying christians can't do this,you can't do that.Why should we worry about what our brothers and sisters in christ are doing?

2 questions:
1. I see many postings by muslims saying that it is ok for a man to marry a non muslim, but not for a woman to do so. Why is that? From what I gather, even Mohamed had Jewish wives.

I dont intend for this to sound like I am bashing Muslims, but I just dont understand it. Are women not equal in marriage? Why can a man chose who he wants, but women cant? What is the reasoning for this? Also, to the women & men: do you think it is fair? Why?

2. I know it is not practiced by all Muslims, but for those that do: why can men have several wives? I understand that it is a cultural thing that the US does not practice & I am fine with that. My question is similar to question #1, why cant women do it also? Part 2 to ques. (as a joke): why would you want more than 1? I have enough problems with the 1 I have! LOL

Please dont take these questions as attacks on Muslims! This is not like the questions the athiests ask here, just to anger. this is real.

So you got the Super-hero Jesus, and he "saves" people, and he has his girlfriend Mary Magdaline, who he "saves".

He has super-powers and comes back from the dead and then flies.

So Jesus has flying, like Superman or Neo in Matrix,
power to save, they all have that don't they, the superheros?

Satan is the bad guy,

Any other parallels?

I hear a lot of people on this forum think that forgiveness of God is about just a flippant saying I'm sorry and then going on. That's not what Grace is about for forgiveness.

My opinion about repentance is a total turning away from sin, being remorseful, and then getting down to business of asking God to help you learn how to stop repeating this sin and turning away from it.

Agree or disagree? Why or why not?

An analogy to take as you will, borrowed from that cinematic masterpiece, Rocky...

After promising himself that he would go all the way and give it all he had, should the young boxer last the distance of the fight at all costs, no matter what pain or damage he receives, no matter how hard tiredness is burning his lungs and blood is stinging his eyes, even though he knows winning is impossible; or should he admit defeat and leave with dignity?

I only this scenario as a broad analogy to put my question in to simple terms- apply it to life at large, if you will.

What do you think?

Or they should react violently like Jesus did:

Joh 2:15 And making a whip of cords, he drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and oxen. And he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables.

you see I am by no means a person who worships god , I do not like how everything we do is so "wrong" as far as he's concerned when really it's just things we as humans should feel, because it's our nature. You are free to your opinions but this is mine. Why is suicide a sin????? alot of teenagers could proly tell you they've thought about it.... Its not a persons fault if they have dipression or if their live is that bad is it? welll if so why....

I love the Conversations with God book series and when it came out it felt so natural to me. Recently I heard someone questioning it, as if THEY didn't talk to God. Wondering how many of you don't realize that anyone can talk to God?

Question (So I don't get dinged): How great do you think our God is? What has he done for you in your life?

Come on Christians, let's tell all these people how great our God is.

My girlfriend and I happen to break up on Friday night, and I was crushed. I kept praying to God to keep strong, and have his will be done. Whatever God wanted, I wanted that to be, and I kept praying that his will be done, and just to grant me the strength to help me in my time of need. I started to feel a little better come Saturday night, and come Monday she called me crying. We talked for hours, and now we are working on making our relationship the best it can be, with God in the center of it all of course.

Testify my brothers and sisters, our God is great. Praise the Lord.

Never MIND the fact that they've broken one of the ten commandments or commited a horrible crime, no, so long as they repented, 'all is right in the eyes of god'

But a person who does good, donates to charity, helps out the homeless and orphans yet just so HAPPENS to be an atheist, goes to HELL?

HOW is that fair? Don't tell me 'only god knows'. You can speak for god about everything else, such as sin and homosexuality yet you can speak for him when it comes to something like this?

THAT is one of the main reasons why the christian religion sickens me. Because it's full of hypocrisy.

One person does evil and sin all their life but repent like two hours before they die, and get into heaven, yet an atheist does good all their life yet goes to hell because they 'don't believe in god'.

Nevermind that the killer/rapist caused many people pain and misery. No, instead you all focus on the person who doesn't believe in god.
