No, I'm not some muslim guy. I'm agnostic, hence objective.
But the arrogance of christianity kills me. Has the Church forgotten its attrocities committed during the medieval age and its prosecution of gays and atheists? Are they trying to overshadow their bloody history by creating myths about a violent Mohamed and bashing other religions?

When you consider that claims such as "ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny" and then have frauds like Haekel modify drawings and add fish gills to embryos to justify his fuhrer's "ethnic cleansing". When vestigal organs once claimed as useless (such as the appendix) are later found essential. When "apemen" such as Nebraska man (pig tooth), Piltdown man (hoax based on human skullcap and orangutan's jaw), and Ramapithecus (extinct orangutan) are presented as missing links. Makes me wonder what else evolutionists are trying to pass as reliable science.

I need some help. Some books say Hinduism is older while others say Jainism is older.

Some say Jainism is an independent religion older than Hinduism, while some say Jainism is a branch of Hinduism.

How am I supposed to write a paper with that? I'm confused. Please help.

So many creationists make the claim that something can't come from nothing. Well let me ask you this. How do you know? No one has ever observed nothing. Sure we have seen empty space, but empty space is still existence, therefore empty space is still something. No one has ever observed nothing because nothing only exists outside of the realm of existence. We are part of existence and we do not have the technology to observe or explore the nothingness that may or may not surround our existence. There is no way you can possible know the scientific properties of nothingness or what nothingness is capable of. So how can you possibly know that something can’t come from nothing?

What's your opinion on Noah's Ark?

Is it humanly possible to build something that large?

Can you agree that some of the animals that were on the ark don't exist anymore?

Are there animals that exist now that weren't on the ark?
(If so where did they come from and isn't that called evolution?)

Wasn't "Earth" back then considered to be flat?

Then isn't it likely that only the "known earth" flooded?

I tend to agree with atheist's arguments against false gods and imaginary beings but I still believe that there is an intelligent essence or force that formed both the universe and life.

Also, I see where many atheists argue against Christianity (for example) by pointing at people who call themselves Christians but who do not adhere to the teachings of Christ, such as those who perpetrated the Crusades or the Inquisitions.

So, if a person could be considered a Christian even though they do not do as Christ taught (i.e., to love your enemies), could I then be an atheist and still believe in God?

In the book of Revelations, the last book of the Bible, many nations are mentioned IE: 200,000,000 man army, (china) The bear from the north (Russa) Babaloyn (Iraq) these nations gather for a final assult on Isreal, At this time America as we know it would stand with Isreal, but in the final book of the Bible America is not mentioned. As a christian, I beleave that the US, must either not be able to be an issue, or that our great nation will sink to such a degree of hopelessness that we can not help in the end times. Ether way, they all fail and God steps in and delivers Israel from the ones who try to destroy them. Any suggestions on what may happen to us the US, that we would not be able or unwilling to assist our friends?

I mean how many people love and accept christ because they want to go to heaven, like nearly all christians, will god accept them into heaven and not the many many non religious people, who go out and love and help others, the people who don't ask for anything, not money, they just do it out of love, and god will have them punished. Now, no bible quotes, your god claims to be perfect... is this perfect? Suck-ups, or generally nice people who don't seek rewards for helping others?

Does their soul go to a place of rest?
Or just with the dead with the dead or in the sea?
Or does their soul go to hell fire?

Jesus said that you can't see the Kingdom of Heaven unless you are born again. So, no one spiritually dead/blind goes to heaven, so where do they go then?

Does it depend on their God given conscience & their obedience to land laws?

"True Christians are moral.

Athiests and non-Christians are devoid on any sort of moral compass. They might put on a show in public but watch what they do in private. "

if you DO agree,then how is it NOT arrogant,condescending,ru de and utterly judgemental to say things like that?


*also,there are MANY religions much older than yours and christianity has a large track record for people claiming to be christians and misusing it,while other religions have not been so.so how can you say all non christians don't have a moral compass?*again,this is directed at those who agree with this.

Stupid, smells funny, and I have done things it says it can do.

Now, will anyone else follow me into this blasphemy [Denial isn't so much blasphemy really. Though I don't beleive in a magical omniscient ghost who dwells inside th e hearts of young girls.]? Will Christians now leave us alone, as we can't be saved?

Thanks.
