Why do christians seem to think they need guidance and support from God when atheists are quite capable of the same guidance and support from themselves?

Does it not make sense that when the christian believes they are getting guidance & support from God, it is in fact coming from within themselves?

Can't they see how well atheists cope with life and realise that they don't need assistance from an imaginary higher being?

Why do christians have so little faith in their own abilities?

the vatican has made some radical changes in the priesthood now they allow woman, i feel the vatican are changing the catholic religion ; what would jesus think of that? i thought the faith was as solid as a rock, whats going to be next,maybe marraige , why not, religion keeps you poor and afraid to question, the new testiment was written 100yrs after the old one and it was then that mark mentioned crusifixion jesus on the cross, why didnt he ever mention it before? the news at the minute is the murder of a young woman at the hands of "father jerry" how many more priests are doing the things that they shouldnt do, such as alcohol issues, sex issues, dealing with very vulnarable people, as bono said "how can we rid the world of hunger "? the catholic church have vast riches in many things paintings gold, diamonds, the jews have the same and the hindu etc, all have great riches, jesus said where there are 3 or more people gather in my name i will be there, he didnt have a church?

So let say, one day there's this pagan and a guy named Bob.

They sit together, suddenly, Bob said

"You Pagans are violent."

The Pagan just stood silent, because his religion teaches him to be patient, promote love and be peaceful.

Then Bob just continued saying

"You Pagans are violent"

"You Pagans are violent"

"You Pagans are violent"

~Three Months Later~


"You Pagans are vio-SMACK

One tight slap from the Pagan, he had enough.

"AHA!" Bob said, "I KNEW YOU GUYS WERE VIOLENT! YOU JUST PROVEN IT!"



So, who was right and who was wrong?

In my country (Australia) and other countries we are given public holidays for Christmas and Easter - the two most important events - when Jesus was born and when he died on the cross and then rose again. We are also given a Bible which is so important that we are required to swear on it in court. So why do so many people, who are given all the facts and information about God and Jesus, still not believe?

You can say you believe in God ... or if an atheist .. you can say you don't believe in God. But neither can prove what they believe ...... An agnostic says ... they don't know ....... there may or may not be ...... Is this the most correct statement ??

One of the common responses I see from christians about their belief in God is "You don't need to see the air we breathe to know it's there, and I don't need to see God to know he's there either"

Why don't they understand the foolishness of such statements?

When you look at distant objects on a humid day, the air is quite visible, making the distant objects lighter, sometimes with a blue hue.

We can compress air, and harness it in everyday living.

We can observe oxygen being converted to energy in the form of flames.

The components of our atmosphere are well understood along with their chemical composition. We can even turn them into liquid form.

We blow up balloons and let our children play with a captured piece of air.

Are there any chemical breakdowns of God?

Can we put him in a balloon?

I know the air is there because I have mountains of evidence to support it.

But it would seem there is absolutely zero evidence for the existence of God

We aren't heard. That's the problem. We're ignored. I speak out against terrorism everyday, and while in Pakistan I did it there too. People agreed with me. Nobody came after me. And the elders, oh God, they really loved to be around me. My mother in law's sister stayed with us the entire time we were there because she wanted to be around me. It was sweet. We do condemn terrorism all the time. Most of you here know it, too. Here is just one link of many with lists of fatwas and such condemning it. I hope it opens up your mind and takes some of your hatred away. May God bless you and lead you to righteousness (not religion, daily actions and behavior towards others).http://www.muhajabah.com/otherscondemn.php

Mark 13:2-8.

Jesus predicts that the stones of the buildings of Jerusalem will be thrown down. Then the disciples ask when this will occur. This is when Jesus talks about "wars and rumors of wars" among other signs.

Since the destruction of the Temple and Jerusalem occurred in the year 70, doesn't all this refer to that time? In other words, this passage has already been fulfilled. So is it not incorrect to wait today for signs of "wars and rumors of wars" etc as signs of the end?

Read the whole thing in context, and I think you'll see what I'm asking. thanks.
