John 3:16 says nothing about liking Jesus, only that you accept him, right?

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

The average male height was around 5'. A 6' man would b about a 7 foot tall man to us today, and Jess supposedely did not stand out in any way.


The stylish long hair? No way, no one of the time had hair that looked anywhere near that nice.

Truth is, if Jesus ever came back, most Christians would think he's a radical Muslim terrorist.

how often do you pray for things that you can do on your own? how often do those prayers come true? how often do you pray for something to happen that cannot be accomplished through the will of man, i.e. a miracle? how often do those prayers come true? and when i say "come true" i'm not asking if they get answered in god's special way. i'm asking if you receive exactly what you are asking for.

1) First, read the following joke:
"Your mama is so big she gets her toenails painted at Earl Scheib"

2) On a scale of 1-10 (10 being extremely funny), how funny is this?

3) Multiple this number by your age and find out your IL below. Like, I'm 35 and I think it's a 9, so my result is 315.

4) If you ever devised a test of immaturity, add 100.

Immaturity Level:
0-100: Epic Maturity
100-200: Noticeable Maturity
200-300: Borderline
300-400: Monstrous Immaturity
Over 400: Unspeakable Immaturity

With my 415, I'm now unspeakabley immature.

Also, do you participate in saying grace or prayer before the Thanksgiving meal? Exchange gifts on Christmas Day? Go on Easter Egg hunts?

to any answer that doesn't praise god? Are there just people out there going through all the questions and giving the thumbs down to atheists without even reading the answer?? I think so!

here's one article discussing this trend, (though there are many) http://www.sullivan-county.com/bush/divorce.htm

Incidentally, 27% of Christians in the US have at some point been divorced.
21% of atheists have at some point been divorced.

Does this give you some pause? Because I've read many claims saying things like "Christianity is the only basis for a really healthy marriage", and things like that. But these statistics seem to indicate atheist marriages are better.

And just for the record, I don't mean this in any kind of attacking "gotcha!" sort of way. I'm just interested in your reactions. Thanks.

Why do Americans dislike muslims so much? Us Americans all claim to be righteous christians but only a small percentage actually practice what they preach. And atleast muslims over there in the middle east are into their religion and don't do all the bad stuff all the fat*** americans do. Look at us were all fat we stuff our faces we have no class we care more about material crap and yeah tell me what you think about that.

Why do I get these thoughts in my head and then go for them with this titanium mind set ? I get these dreams of bliss and happiness and then I feel like I morph into this titanium mindset...this determination...and nothing else can push into my mind until I have it ?

Isn't it hypocritical for Atheist to be so against relious people, specifically Christians, and say there evil because things like the Crusades(a legitimate defence against Muslim Triuphanism) or the Salem witch trials (male hiarchy oppressing women) when the only major Atheistic powers that ever existed, The USSR, killed and oppressed countless millions for the "common good."

China still claims to be atheist and has an atrocious human rights record. Anyone recall the pro-democracy march a few years back when China opened fire on its own citizens.

These two powers should show that it is not so much of a religious problem but extreme adherance to a particular ideology.

One group of people has always hated another. People have been exterminated obased on race or skin color and religion played no part in it.

Science can purify religion from error and superstion. Religion can purify science from idolotry and false absolutes
