Is it a pride thing?
I still feel offended when someone insults Catholics, although I quit Catholicism long ago.

And does frying them or adding jelly change this?

If the Virgin Mary or Priscilla P.appear in the crust, is it ok to go ahead and eat it anyway?

Actually it is the Jews, they have been persecuted and hated more than any other group of people that has lived on the planet...They are also the first people on earth that believed in a Monotheistic GOD..

The first Christians were all Jews and the Messiah came to the Jewish people first not the gentiles... It is Israel and the USA that can wipe out humanity but choose not to as people of a loving GOD, so where does that power of greatness come ? because no other faith has that power...

When atheists and other non-Christians ask questions that challenge Christian views, many of you ask “Why do you atheists care what we think?” I cannot speak for all non-believers, but the reason that I care what you think is because I seek the truth. When almost every single person I know or come into contact with believes in Christianity, it is only natural that I should wonder why they believe the way they do, especially when it seems so false to me. I ask questions about Christian beliefs in hope that I will come closer to the truth. Either the Christian will say something that reaffirms my lack of belief in Christianity, or they may say something that makes me re-think my current view of things. I do not blindly believe in atheism or deism the way that Christians seem to blindly believe in their religion.

I remember first picking this book up a few years ago. I had learned of Satanism through an obscure link from a philosophy site that I was reading. At the time, I was searching for an ideology, and found Satanism very intriguing. What is Satanism? The simple answer is that Satanism is the recognition that all of our actions are geared towards our own physical, mental, and emotional satisfaction, and that the seven cardinal sins of fundamental Christianity are at the very least necessary, and at the most virtues. Satanism is not the worship of Satan, and does not involve human or animal sacrifice. The book that defines Satanism today is Anton Szandor LaVey's The Satanic Bible

If there is no God (an objectional supreme authority outside humanity to make rules) then all ones rights are merly subjunctive opinions in which anyone, anywhere at any time can be free to disagree with. No God no morals!

The Declaration of Independence is the document on which the Bill of Rights and the Constitution is derived from. The Declaration of Independence says mandkind is endowed by there Creator with life, liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. Since Atheist deny the Creator doesn't that mean self-proclaimed Atheist who don't want to be hypocrits forgo all rights given to them under the Constitution. Since it is only by God the Founders recognized them as deserving of rights.
Yes, the existance of God is an opinion. But it is not an opinion to say the Founders believed that life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness derived from God.

If you deny God then under American law one should freely surrender all rights given to them.

P.S. I know this is really biased

Yesterday a guy that works for the same company i do at another office took his own life and i heard people saying how selfish he was and how he'll go to hell so it made me wonder what are other people's beliefs on this subject? I find myself conflicted with this because if God is all knowing, doesn't he see what the people are going to do? and God is supposed to be forgving why would he not forgive, especially because some people who get to that point are not mentally stable and are in so much pain that they do not think clearly or see any alternative? Why would God not forgive and accept those who took their own lives when he knows the pain they felt? How can he turn away someone who hurt so much in their life?

And another question is, why is it that no one seems to empathize with the people who felt that way? everyone just seems to judge him. is it that no one can seem to contemplate what he must have felt?

Thanks to all for the answers!

Did earth really need human beings? why not just plant life and animals of certain types to keep the planet going?

Scientists have some opinion that life might be on other planets but with no solid proof. But if those planets are condusive to some sort of life it does not include what we know as human beings.

The Book of Genesis states GOD made man for his pleasure in his own image, what does evolution say why earth needed human beings for survival?

I am a Christian, I read the Bible and I CHOOSE to believe what it says is true. It all comes down to faith. Faith that the Bible is what God said it is, His holy Word.

But let's face it, isn't it understandable how unbelievers could misconstrue or think the bible is a fairy tale or controdictory? I feel that if I defend the Bible to an unbeliever, I better know what I am talking about. I should be prepared to back it up with some words of substance instead of just quoting scripture randomly as that is just counterproductive and a turn off to most unbelievers. I don't think that we reach people when we quote scripture without our personal opinion and dialogue relating to that scripture. What say you?

Hi everyone, I am from HK.

Just b4, about 1500 complaints about the Bible have been received by Hong Kong's anti-porn watchdog after a website said the holy book was full of stories of rape, incest and violence. Those compaints were raised from some anti-christ persons. So far, HK government still didn't response to those complains yet.

They complained, for example, Lot slept with his daugthers in Genesis, Levite's concubine was given to the gangs, and raped, lastly the dead body was splited into 12 parts (Judges 19), etc.

The anti-christ persons said these scenes written in the bible are absolutely immoral, violent and bloody. Also, they said Bible is not suitable for children and it must be sold to those who over 18 with sealed packing and warning message.

I would like to ask, is it frequent for this one happened in your countries?

Do you think this complain is reasonable? absurd?

By estimation, how will your government handle this if it happened?

pls share yr pts, thx a lot
