Thanks in advance.

Did this happen because God got some sort of thrill by killing all the first-born Egyptians?

So, let's say for the purpose of argument that you DO know the Word of God, BUT...

Do you know the GOD of the Word?

Before you go picking on Genesis, which to me is junk (but good poetry) regardless of science since there is no god - the question are we all related has merit, doesn't it?

Mitochondrial Eve is the most recent common ancestor of all humans via the mitochondrial DNA pathway, not the unqualified MRCA of all humanity. All living humans can trace their ancestry back to the MRCA via at least one of their parents, but Mitochondrial Eve can only be reached via the maternal line. Therefore, she necessarily lived much longer ago than the MRCA of all humanity.

Christians are taught at church and home from a very young age what their morals are. They are told to live by these morals or bear eternal punishment in hell.

Atheists are taught by their parents about morals with no worry about hell or afterlife punishment. Why do they choose to obey these morals when they get nothing in return?

Why don't Atheists need the threat of eternal damnation to keep them in line, but Christians do?

I'm curious to hear the Christian point of view, but all opinions welcome

I know that Christianity is the world's most practiced religion. Even I'm a Christian.

I am researching links between the ideas in the Gospels and earlier texts, whether biblical or Egyptian, Persian, Roman or Greek.

The basic premise is that portions of the Gospels are simply reworked from common regional themes, ie; Jesus tempted by Satan = The Contentions of Horus and Set = The Temptation of Zoroaster.

If you are a believer, even many Biblical scholars understand that much of the presentation of the ideas in the Gospels was made in forms that would be familiar to its target audience, whether Jewish or Greek.

I am looking for a precedent of the material contained in the Sermon on the Mount.

Any help would be appreciated.

.......help your cause of spreading your belief in "nothing"?
Wouldn't the cause be better served by displaying decency, order, and self-respect?

(I'm going to see if there's a way to double post this in the "Ediquette" section)

Why do so many reverends who so-called preach Jesus turn around and are hateful, racist people? I've worked in retail and these so-called men of god, clad in hats and their sunday best, will look down on people who work in sales if they are another race, slam/fling the money on the counter, and act as if people of another race are a disease. That's hypocrisy. I don't think Jesus would have liked that nor would Martin Luther King (or anybody else who taught others to live a good life and not hate or judge). What's your opinion on that?

I've seen alot of 'atheists' on here being very quick to criticise a religion or anyone who belongs to a religion. I mean if someone is an atheist, fine, but it doesn't mean they have to go around complaining about how other 'religious' people shove their beliefs down their throats because not all of them do. Now it seems like a few atheists are trying to convert religious people to become an atheist. Now who is shoving their beliefs down who's throats? If you don't believe in God, fine, but don't go around criticising others for believing in God. I know i'm going to get alot of bad comments for this question but I don't care. It has to be said.
ps. I know not all atheists are like this.

first of all, i am neither. i am pagan.
i hear a lot of christians claiming that atheists are not moral people since they are not god fearing people, so they don't need to have morals since they're not trying to get into heaven. that's a fair enough assumption, but does not make it true.

i also hear atheists saying that christians are hypocrites and claim to have good morals but it's mostly just talk.

is the problem that christianity is held to a higher standard of moral code based on what they believe and preach to atheists, so much so that they have a hard time living up to their own expectations? or is it just that atheists have lower moral codes and comfortable with the fact that they are able to live up to them?

maybe atheists are just realistic about humanity and try to live life as a good person without being holier than thou? or maybe christians are setting an example that the rest of us should look up to?

ok ok, so I worded my last question wrong; sorry. What I mean is, I KNOW the bible was written and published long after Greek mythology was created.... BUT! I do know that on this Earth many many years ago, there were super-human beings that were half human and half angelical (or God) (whatever).... My point is it is interesting that Zeus had a son named Hercules, I think.. Zeus lived on high, yet he sent his son into the world to defeat evil.. (or something like that..) He also descended into Hell to defeat evil. (or Pluto, whatever).. THAT IS ONE EXAMPLE THAT IS RESEMBLANCE ON BIBLIBAL FIGURES!!! Hey all you people who called me an idiot are the true idiots ok!!? the subject are the gods; not the manuscript which the gods are written about, you soddish jerks!! NOW LET ME GET SOME EDUCATED REFERENCES SO I CAN STUDY THIS 4 REAL! I am not here to play games.....
