why are you STILL preaching?

you do realise that EVERYONE knows about jesus now right?

The Word has been spread everywhere on earth, you can take a brake, at least until we find Aleins that aren't christians, then you can go on their planet and Preach your hearts out :)

Who's with me?

And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. Revelation 17:5

And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth. Revelation 18:24

But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell. Proverbs 9:18

Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. Mark 7:7

If you lived 300 years ago with the knowledge you have today, you would have been persecuted. Religious leaders saw how science was the biggest threat to their control. The only way to seem legitimate, was to try to take the credit for it. Tell me why I am wrong.

I mean really. Christians, you can't tell me it wouldn't be boring without atheists to complain about.. And atheists, there wouldn't even be this category without the religious.

Imagine a category with just christians preaching to each other. Then imagine a category with just atheists telling each that god is non existent. This category is just funny because we all post funny and insulting things to each other. We complain about how much we hate each other but honestly who the heck would come to this category if it was boring. So why do you take anything on here seriously? Do any of you, Christians or atheists, actually think your going to convert anyone on yahoo answers?

It's kind of funny how we kind of need each other here to laugh or get mad at. Thoughts?

18. Did you know that Sharon's coalition government includes a party--Molodet--which advocates ethnic cleansing by openly calling for the forced expulsion of all Palestinians from the occupied territories?

19. Did you know that recently-declassified documents indicate that David Ben-Gurion approved of the forced expulsion of Arabs from all Palestininan territory in 1948?

20. Did you know that the former chief rabbi of Israel, Rabbi Ovadia Yossef, who is also a founder and spiritual leader of the religious Shas party (Israel's third largest political party) openly advocates a 'Final Solution' to annihilate the Palestinians? Speaking at the widely broadcast sermon marking the last Passover, he declared of the Palestinians: "The Lord shall return their deeds on their own heads, waste their seed and exterminate them, devastate them and vanish them from this world. It is forbidden to be merciful to them. You must send missiles to them and annihilate them. They are evil and damnable.

Old time religion did not like the idea of the Earth not being flat. I think some people got beat up, burned, and deaded for that.
What if they found out there was vegetation on Mars, there was other galaxies, you could put ketchup, mayonaise, jelly, in squeeze bottles? Zealots will kill us all for drinking out of a cup, instead of drinking out of the holy river with our hands?

this isnt a jab at athiests... so dont get all crazy on me.

If Athiest dont believe in a higher being and, there fore, have not set of 'written in stone' guidelines for life... how do you develop your set of morals and values? Do you have morals and values? i mean.. you have to have them.. but... do you have loose morals if you dont have a set guideline to go by?

again.. im not jumping at athiests this time.. im really just curious...

and one more..

what do you think happens when you die... do you think thats just it? you live, you die... and your 'self' ceases to exist as well as your body? if so.. what is your goal in life if its not to 'follow your walk and achieve the final reward'... i mean... doyou only care about secular gain? or do you worry about having good personal character anyways.. even though you have no goal with which to achieve using that good character?

i know im annoying.. but i just wanna know... i want to understand from the other side of the road.

No use replying with "free speech" or "tollerance"..
There is clear and abundant evidence that so many religious teachings are at complete odds with the natural world around us, not to mention the twisted historical persepectives they adhere to.

The religious brainwashing of young minds and the gullible is a cruel thing to do, and causes divisiveness and confusion and war, and only by applying denial and ignorance can there be room for these beliefs, particularly christianity which is so often "humoured" in otherwise scientifically informed western cultures..
Why is this tollerated? It is clearly a farce..!!

Is any one else getting sick and tired of the denial, ignorance, flashoods, misquoting of science, fabricated "facts", and hidden agendas that so many of these institutions indulge in?

Isn't it time to promote learning and the aquisition of knowledge, instead of tollerating, or often even promoting the right to lie and to teach lies openly..??
Is this intollerable.??

If no one told anyone else what God they worshipped or which book they follow, or even if they believe in a Divine, would the world be just a little better? I've always seen spirituality as a very personal affair and wondered if people just kept thier noses in thier own business, would it solve a lot a problems.
Of course asking this question, I'm doing the same thing, but it's a hypothetical question. I'm just wondering if people have had the same thought.

It was Sunday morning, the FIRST day of the week, according to Hebrew calculations, with Saturday the Sabbath as the seventh, when Mary Magdalene alone (Mark 16:9 and John 20:1) visited the tomb of Jesus. The question arises: "Why did she go there?" "TO ANOINT HIM", Mark 16:1 tells us. The Hebrew word for anoint is "masaha", which means to rub, to massage, to anoint. The second question is: "Do Jews massage dead bodies after 3 days?" The answer is "No!" "Do the Christians massage dead bodies after 3 days?" The answer is again, "No!" Do the Muslims (who are the nearest to the Jews in their ceremonial laws) massage dead bodies after 3 days? And the answer is again, "No!" Then why should a Jewess want to massage a dead, decaying body after 3 days? We know that within 3 hours rigor mortis sets in — the stiffening of the body after death. In 3 days time, the body would be fermenting from within — the body cells would be breaking up and decomposing. If anyone rubs such a decaying body,

Hardly anyone could read. They just had to take someones word for it. The opportunity for re-writing, and modernizing the bible was not missed, by the 'trusted ones' who could read and write.
How many versions of the bible are there?
Who edited these versions?
People are sheep, just following the shepherd to the slaughter.

So... did Jesus die willingly, or did he die unwillingly because they made him?

And how did he die for our sins if we werent even born yet?

how can he die for our sins if they still exist today?

And does *our sins* mean everybody in the entire world regardless of beliefs?

What is your guys's problems? Just because you hate Muslims, doesn't mean you have to make up lies about their holy book! "Kill all non-Muslims"??? where the hell did that come from?? Muslims are very clean people. Those who are involved in attacking others, have totally been brainwashed in weird schools. Don't blame EVERY Muslim for all the attacks! We too shed tears for every death young and old.
Give me your opinions.
If you're going to say something extremely insulting, then just keep the damn comment to yourself!

Point in question: A woman is asked to remove her cross necklace while she's teaching and she refuses, saying its her constitutional right to freedom of religion... and yet she is fired because they are afraid her necklace will offend someone who isnt christian.
and yet they didnt think that.. their asking her to remove her necklace was offensive to her?
and on that note.. why would that offend someone? it wouldnt offend me if someone of a different religion was praying or worshiping in their own way... as long as they dont mind me praying in my way!
People are so easily offended. take it from a true southerner.. life is alot easier ifyou just dont give a damn about the little things in life! like being offended... just dont care! its soo much easier than actually complaining about things!
and besides! if everyone else get freedom to practice their religion. why cant christians be free to wear their crosses?

yes. before someone flips out i know, is usually not like that!
