I asked a Christian if he thought god created everything on earth. He said yes. I asked him who created god. He said no one created god. So I ask... Why then can you accept the fact that no one or thing created god, but can't except the fact that no one created life and the universe, etc. Can any one answer that?

- so why do people submit to oppressive religions that cause wars when they could be much happier sleeping in on a Sunday or spending time doing things that really matter to improve their life, rather than praying for a better life and not doing anything about it?

What are some helpful techniques? Do I have to do the inhale and vocal exhale? Is sitting on the floor cross legged essential? How long should I aim for in the beginning? What are the benefits of meditation?

Each has an empty excuse for their most abominable behavior, but they say: We have the love of God today.

Jesus said: "If you love me, keep my commandments" (John 15:10). Repetitious prayer five times a day, or reciting prayer to a string of beads is not keeping God's law. What do you think? Shouldn't they opt up and say they are deluded and denying the truth?

what majestic trees
what powerful rivers
what beautiful animals he said to himself.
As he was walking along the riverside he heard a rustling from the bushes, he turned and saw a 7ft grizzly bear charge towards him.He ran as fast as he could up the path, the bear began to chase him, he looked over his shoulder and the bear was closing in, he tripped and fell. the bear was on top of him and it lifted its right paw to strike,at that instance the atheist cried out
"OH MY GOD"
time stopped
the bear froze
the forest was silent, a bright light shone on the man and a voice came from the sky."You deny my existence all these years and teach others i dont exist. am i to count you as a believer."
It would be hypocritical to ask you to count me as a christian but maybe you could make the bear a christian." "very well" said the voice.The light went out, the forest resumed,
the bear bought both paws together and bowed his head and spoke,"Lord, bless this food which I am about to receive.

I am impeccably sorry, but i do not understand your religion. SHouldn't all branches of christainity follow the bible, since all of it is true and just. Where is this "virgin Mary" becoming a symbol of praise or symbol to praise. i just dont see it, and if i miss it, can you show it to me??? and what about all the sections of hell and pergatory and all these other things. WHERE does the bible say all of these things. i wish someone can show me, becuase where i see it, it is a fallen religion.

What did the animals eat afterwards? For the herbivores, all the plants would have been dead from the flood. And for the carnivores, they would have had to eat the other animals, thereby causing many species to become extinct. So why are there still so many herbivores if the carnivores would've had to eat most of them?

Many people who hate Christians and despise Christianity are actually intrigued by other religions and those who practice them. What is the source of this intense hate and hostility? What's your opinion of the fact that Jesus said the world will hate those who follow Him? How do you suppose He knew this 2000 years ago before He was even accused and during a period of time when people were flocking to hear Him preach and were showing Him adoration? Why are true Christians condemned because of the actions of very obvious false Christians? Why is "do not kill", "do not steal", "honor your parents", "do not tell lies about others", etc. considered by many to be offensive? Why do some people become angry when you tell them God loves them? Why do children go to school and kill each other, but no one wants to tell them it's wrong, because it's "offensive"? Why did this violent behavior begin AFTER it became illegal to tell children it's wrong to kill? Is the love of Jesus really so terrible??

If this is the first time God created humans/life he could possibly be learning from us as we exist.
He seems like the inquisitive type to me, always learning something new himself.

KJV Matthew
19:10 His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be
so with [his] wife, it is not good to marry.
19:11 But he said unto them, All [men] cannot receive this
saying, save [they] to whom it is given.
19:12 For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from
[their] mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive [it], let him receive [it].

What is the point of having a belief structure? If your God/dess is as capable of communicating with you as he/she/it was with people in the past, then why can't your deity simply instruct you on how to properly worship and live your life?

This is, of course, intended for people who follow structured religion.
