Don't count the Y/A participants - all of them look like God-haters - I mean percentage wise anybody knows a reliable figure.

At the same time, what percent of people in the US would be staunch Christians

I am a Christian, considering going to a local psychic for a reading. I am pretty sure it is against my faith to learn what the future *may* hold (you know, it's all relative), but I'm wondering if someone can tell me why, or provide me with a Bible passage that talks about fortelling the future.

Why is it that so many atheists GROUP ALL CHRISTIANS in ONE personality catagory??? Majority will say "Christians THIS and Christians THAT."
A heads up!!! We are all individuals JUST LIKE YOU . Some are passive, some are aggressive, some like pizza, some don't LOL, some are athletic, some aren't, and so on. Some SHARE allot of personal beliefs and others have an entirely DIFFERENT take on the same subject. Some like camping, some don't. Sorry to spell it out but it's just THAT simple. WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT. What we have in common, but we aren't robots- just like YOU aren't.
I posted something yesterday which I ultimately removed because the responses got so nonsensical, not picky and we accusing me of things I never said or claimed to even condone, it was absolutely ridiculous.
Talk to me based on what you KNOW, by what I tell you, not generalizations or assumptions. Thanks!

If God is so kind and so forgiving, why is there things wrong in this world. I am an Atheist, and I do not condem people for any of their beliefs I rather try to understand them. Please tell me how can you worship someone who is so cruel, and unforgiving to you. I mean I just need to understand. I would apperciate any answers.

"A good way to judge people is by that which makes them laugh". Doesn't that violate the verse, "judge not lest ye be judged"?

1. God LOVES you and offers a wonderful PLAN for your life.

"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" John 3:16.

Why is it that people are not experiencing the abundant life?

2. Man is SINFUL and SEPARATED from God. Therefore, he cannot know and experience God's love and plan for his life.

Man Is Sinful
"All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" Romans 3:23.

3. Jesus Christ is God's ONLY provision for man's sin. Through Him you can know and experience God's love and plan for your life.

"God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" Romans 5:8.

4. We must individually RECEIVE Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord; then we can know and experience God's love and plan for our lives.

"As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name" John 1:12

A Christian should NEVER speak out and call someone wrong or sinful because they dont know what that persons intentions were.

In Christianity the laws and outward deeds do not matter......... ONLY the intention in the heart matters.

A "criminal" should be judged by the intention in his heart or else he should NEVER be judged.

They dont count forced arranged marriage as rape or child marriage as peadophilia.


or is it that any woman or girl who complained about rape would risk death buy stoning for adultary of sex outside marriage or honour killing.


As for respect for women...


Funny out defineition is you treat others how you would like to be treated not say if you dont cover up we attack you.

I have girls Im freindly with who have often flashed boobs or enters the likes of jelly wrestling or dress sexy.


When guys respect girls it does not matter if in a bikni like on a beach or naked...

no decent guy would attack or force anyone to do anything.



They dont have any less respect from me then anyone else.

Just like the view.


And it would be nice to be seen as sexy by girls.



As for girls sellling cars half naked... where do us guys get such easy nice paying work that would have all they girls wanting us?

Why are Christians quoting from the Old Testament when Jesus has nothing to do with the OT laws.

Christians must be reminded that if they say they are not bound by the LAW then they should not pick and choose from the OT to support a position which is not acceptable in the NT.

If a Christian can use proofs from the OT against homosexuality then others can use proofs from the OT for dozens of rules which should be followed.

It is not enforceable, obviously, but I wonder how many 'religious' people would like to see even more of their dogma in our laws.

The most recent issue of Newsweek reported that most people do not consider their finances when deciding to have children.

-Is this in the best interest of the child, if you cannot afford to provide an education for them, or buy them clothes, food, etc...

-should it be taxpayers responsibility to have to financially provide for your children, because you did not choose to use contraceptives?

-Why should the rest of the tax paying country be responsible for your poor judgement, or for your desire to have children?

-people have to take a test to drive a car...too bad we can't make people take tests in order to see if they can qualify as a good parent.

Your thoughts?

Regardless of whether you think consubstantiality is right or wrong isn't it true that the source of the problems between Trinitarians and Arians is sectarianism? Why are the Arians and Aryans such ideologues? Why are they obsessed with language whether it be through Martin Luther, Goebbels, or Arius? Why are people obsessed with words and ideology? Why are people obsessed with centralization of power? Wasn't it fascist of Rome to absorb the Catholic faith when Constantine forced the Council of Nicea? Weren't God, Light (Christ), and God's Spirit present from the very first word of the Hebrew Bible until the last word of Revelation? Weren't three essences involved in the creation of man? Isn't Man created from the Earth and wasn't the Earth created from God's Spirit? Isn't it foolish to deny this? Why does Genesis say "Let US create man in OUR image?" Doesn't this imply that God (Creator) and the Lord God (Christ) were present? Why does Genesis say that the "Lord God formed man of the dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life?" Isn't it obvious that the Lord God and Light was Christ and the Spirit was the Holy Spirit? How can this be denied by anyone who can read?

Why are they obsessed with the Hebrew term for Living God? How could they expect a Jewish carpenter (Jesus Christ) to say that he was the Living God in the flesh? Wouldn't it have been insane for the High Priest to say "tell me are you the God of Abraham and Moses?" Wouldn't anyone who believed the Living God became a man be judged insane by the Pharisees? Had Milton Goldbergstein been the Living God would Jehovah's Witnesses understand that IT IS NOT THE NAME IT IS THE MESSAGE THAT COMES FROM THE ALMIGHTY GOD THROUGH MILT GOLBERGSTEIN/JEHOVAH?

How is it possible to read this and not come to the conclusion that Jesus was either 1) the Living God of the Old Testament or 2) completely insane? If Jesus were completely insane why would the Pharisees have condemned Him to death?
