I have just had them at the door. What do you think they are expecting when they come to door? To be welcomed in or the door slammed in their faces?

I am looking for the religions that teach that God is the Father and Jesus is the son, not a trinity. I am pretty sure that is what Jehovah Witnesses teach, are there any other religions that teach this?
I have heard that also maybe Latter Day Saints, some Pentecostal, but I cannot find anyone that actually knows.

Polar bears, sharks, tigers are known to attack humans. But they weren't naturally adapted to eat humans.
Is this a proof that humans are privileged by a creator God?

It wasn't until the 3rd Century Christ was declared devine. In the 1800s the Catholic Church started the thing about him being of virgin birth. And if his death and ressurection was symbolic as had been the custom in Egypt. Can we still repect him as an ideal man anyway? But with special insights and gifts.

Were you religious and/ or spiritual before you became an atheist? If so, what made you "convert" to atheism? What are the positive aspects of being an atheist? The negative?

Went to a church yesterday where ppl were doing this, seemed like self-induced mass hysteria or something to me...definitely not spritual, and in fact rather scary

when you buy coca cola from a vending machine, the minute you put a coin, you have faith that coca cola, not sprite will come tumbling down.

you have faith in the Sun, that it will show up every morning, without question. i mean you don't go around asking, "is the Sun gonna rise today?" right?

you have faith that when you are driving. you look at the traffic lights, and if it green, you go. you don't come out of your car and see if there are any cars coming through from your left or right in a T-JUnction.

you have faith in a product a company etc.

so why is faith in God so difficult for some?

Savior: Repeatedly the Scriptures refer to God as Savior. At Isaiah 43:11 God even says: “Besides me there is no savior.” Since Jesus is also referred to as Savior, are God and Jesus the same? Not at all. Titus 1:3, 4 speaks of “God our Savior,” and then of both “God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.” So, both persons are saviors. Jude 25 shows the relationship, saying: “God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Italics added.) (See also Acts 13:23.) At Judges 3:9, the same Hebrew word (moh•shi′a‛, rendered “savior” or “deliverer”) that is used at Isaiah 43:11 is applied to Othniel, a judge in Israel, but that certainly did not make Othniel Jehovah, did it? A reading of Isaiah 43:1-12 shows that verse 11 means that Jehovah alone was the One who provided salvation, or deliverance, for Israel; that salvation did not come from any of the gods of the surrounding nations.

Matt. 12:31, 32, RS: “Every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. And whoever says a word against the Son of man will be forgiven; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.” (If the Holy Spirit were a person and were God, this text would flatly contradict the Trinity doctrine, because it would mean that in some way the Holy Spirit was greater than the Son. Instead, what Jesus said shows that the Father, to whom the “Spirit” belonged, is greater than Jesus, the Son of man.)
John 14:28, RS: “[Jesus said:] If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I go to the Father; for the Father is greater than I.”

I've been watching the religious channel here in my town and there's some people singing about how the Lord is their Master and a black woman is fronting the song. What does that say? Are you Christians just adverse to having any say over your own lives? How ironic is it that supposed Christians run this supposed democratic country? Isn't democracy supposed to be about deciding for yourself instead of someone else deciding for you?
