then why are the streets of heaven paved with gold, and other precious jewels? To me, it's not humble or even portrays the humility that Christians are meant to have. It's materialistic, and it goes against everything the Bible stands for. Personally, I'd want to have lush grass, streams, trees, animals, etc. That seems a lot more peaceful and rewarding than some hard, stone road.
And don't tell me the love of god is all you need, etc. That's not what I've asked.

Did you ever stop to think, "WHY" would something be a sin?

Have you ever?

Example:
Why would being gay be a sin? It doesn't hurt anyone.
Or:
Why would eating shrimp be a sin? Again, it doesn't hurt anyone.
Why would being BORN be a sin? The baby didn't DO anything!!
Why would being born without married parents be a sin? Again, it doesn't hurt anybody!!

What bad have these people really done?
Why is it a sin?

Have you ever asked yourself that?

God is ALL-POWERFUL right? Why did he even create hell or satan? I know satan was originally and angel and he left and started hell and all that but why did god let him? God is clearly not above smiting people/places. Why not just get rid of hell? The alternative was that he needed leverage over humanity to get them to believe him. Prove me wrong

(fast food) we gossip . make fun of people.wear clothes that are too revealing. scream at our loved ones.just act like complete idiots.barbarians.smoke and drink. but why is it that if one person eats like a pig and listens to foul music. how can they point the finger at the other that smokes ? and say they are going to hell?ive been trying to figure this out. WE ALL SIN. everyday.so why do we as christians sit there and litterally sceam at people who sin . when they sin everyday? and dont even take the next step to quit sinning?they just stay in that state of anger at sinners. almost all christians do. and another thing.why do we get mad and say another church is bad and stupid because of the way; they do things. dont all the churches need each other?

This is so funny. Just when I thought people cant get any more stupid, Im proven wrong. where did this whole saying " I deny the holy spirit" become blasphemy? Where is that in the scripture? For the ones that took the challenge, Im sorry, you didnt do anything. God is not cut off from you completely, your just an unbeliever. Believers should be spending more time understanding scripture before falling for things like this. Read Mark 3:23-30. Pay attention to verse 30. The blasphemy was when they said he casted out demons by the help of demons. You blaspheme the holy spirit when you see the holy spirit manifested and you deny it. That is blasphemy. Man, These people in youtube crack me up. Christians, Please don't fall for this. lol

I don't understand the concept of Hell. Every punishment should have at least an educational part (learning the bad things somebody has done), a purpose (trying to forgive oneself for the bad things done) and in the end a higher goal (forgiveness and a new start).

Hell is without purpose.

My question is this: Does Hell make sense to you? Do you find it fair? And if it was up to you, would you have created a Hell or something maybe a little more friendly?

Are Atheists descendents of apes through evolution, and True Human Beings descendents of God through Special Creation?

2007-05-28 11:31:17 · 10 answers · asked by WillRogerswannabe 7

Does God love all of us equally.

Then why the differences in us. Especially about those that are not free will. Like being born rich or with HIV. Like winning a lottery to dieing in an accident. Why do some of the most horrible people have everything they want. And why do the good people suffer almost everyday.

I haven't been a believer for a long time but I have been a good person throughout my life. I don't put even mouse traps in my apartment. If I see a spider or a bug, I put it on a paper and leave it outside. Yet I am in so much pain and agony. And there are those who cheat and kill yet they have almost everything they want.

Why this indifference. Especially from God.

Supposedly adultery is a sin right? But what would happen if both partners agree, and allow it? If they both do it to eachothers knowledge is it still a sin? For example swingers?

Do you think God was suprised? Disappointed? Didn't he know it was going to happen? Do you think he wanted it to happen so he could have a place to send bad people after they died? Or to scare people into behaving properly?

I am a passionate atheist. As such i pride myself on reason and logical debate. However i can't help but wanting to run up to every christian and yell "your wasting your life! wherever you found God, put him back!" Basically i have the desire to preach the gospel of Atheism. I know you other atheist are like me too. You can't fathom how other people can believe in God so you want to set them straight. I wish I was humble and quiet in my beliefs but dam it i find myself becoming a preacher just like them. Does anybody agree? How can we address this problem?

why doesn’t he provide some good evidence of his existence?

Is he playing some kind of sick game or something? Christians believe in a God that has created a Hell (or at least permits its existence) where non-believers will go. Yet you’ve seen from the Atheists Q&A’s here that AT BEST, the evidence is shaky for God’s existence (let alone the fact that there is no good evidence that points to any particular religion).

They believe in a God that allows billions to be forever tormented in Hell simply they were born into the wrong culture that shaped their world view that told them it is the Hindu, Muslim, or other Gods that are real.

What kink of God is this? Certainly not a loving one.

If you answer "that's what faith is for," do you really think it's good to play around with something that serious?
