If there was a "real" religion, then we would known it by birth, not by someone/something passin the knowledge about it. Why so?

he set up the world and it's system of barter, for everything we get we have to give something in return, so why does he expect us to keep feeding him with praysers, canldes, churches and other mumbo jumbo trappings when he does nothing? Heaven and hell don't count for nothing because there is no proof for their existence, if you hired a person to mow your lawn, the lawn never got mowed and the person never showed up, called or otherwise let you know they existed would you still cut them a check?--if so then I'll mow your lawn

Whoever you are that asked this question.
It is true most people that are brainwashed which you actually see in many mental institutions (not meant to be offensive) you pick up similarities within the institution. Most christians talk very slow and melancholy and seem airy or light headed happy even if a hurricane is all around them.

The problem is just that delusional people do not want to make their home the earth a better place because they are "saved" they simply do not care!!!
That is delusion and is unacceptable behavior for adults?

I've seen alot of questions about it and all the answers vary by the asker, and I've been curious myself, so I'd like to ask people who actually believe in God and Jesus Christ. Is it a sin? It would be great if we could also get experts, but regular believers will do fine.

The world isn't ending. No one is judging you. You're not going to suffer in hell forever. You don't have to derrive your moral code from a book that also features talking animals. You don't have to get up early sunday. You don't have to give anyone your money. You don't have to feel guilty. You don't have to pray. You don't owe your existence to a creator who can make a "perfect" universe but refuses to alliviate human suffering.

I'm surprised at how protective I feel when somebody bashes Catholicism here at R & S.
I didn't have bad experiences growing up Catholic (there was one mean nun, but that's it). It's just that I'm just too skeptical to believe.
I'm 99.999999999999% sure I'm going to die an atheist.
But is it weird that I still have a connection to Catholicism?

Science privudes a rational and logical explanation.

Religion offers an emotional response to questions, many of which don't even need to be asked (eg: "why are here?")

Also, the bible is just one of many religious texts. All of which claim to be the yet contradict each other.

In science, people compare their evidence and follow the path that can be best supported by factual evidence.

Dosn't it make more sense to study science than a discredited religious text?

When you've read enough of a book to realise it's contradictory and full of ridiculous falsehoods (eg: Genesis, Exodus.....and the whole thing really), why would you want to read another thousand or so pages, yet alone STUDY it?

Do they want us to read it just to keep us to busy to follow what's happening in the scientific community?

i don't think you can believe in evolution and god. definitely not the bible. the bible clearly states that the universe was made in six days and on the seventh day he rested etc....but if evolution is correct, it STILL didn't happen in six days. So..theistic evolution...is it a bunch of bull?

and they hardly ask any questions at all, so what gives? And don't say they don't need any answers because they have to have stuff they are curious about.

I believe it does. The phrase "they came to life" in verse 4 to describe the resurrection of the martyrs (which means, ALL Christians throughout history) is ezesan in Greek. This exact same word is used in verse 5 when describing the resurrection of the rest of the dead (unbelievers) after the millennium. Thus, the amillennial or postmillennial interpretation of Revelation 20 is exegetically illogical to sustain. Agree or disagree? (And please don't refer to other passages.)

Years back I made some mistakes. I was mad at G-d. I made a deal with the devil so to speak. I blasphemed against the Holy Ghost. I’ve since repented for my transgressions. I try daily to live a righteous life. I am not even close to perfect. Yet I do try to be a good man. Praising and thanking G-d for everything he’s done for me (the good and the bad). Yet for those who are unfamiliar with eternal sin.

Jesus himself said that there is no forgiveness in this age or the next.

Am I going to hell?

Please this question if for people who can answer with a background and knowledge of what I am speaking of. Personal feelings will not help me.

For say 80 years I live the life of a model citizen, I'm a firefighter and save dozens of lives, I pay my taxes, treat my friends and family with love and respect, don't cheat anyone, don't steal and to the best of my ability I'm honest. Then one day I murder my wife, do I deserve to go free? I have done more good than bad. In fact I have saved more lives than I've taken.

DO I DESERVE TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER?

Malaysia rules against right to choose religion

By John Burton in Singapore

Published: May 31 2007 01:06 | Last updated: May 31 2007 01:06

Malaysia’s highest court on Wednesday ruled that Islamic law took precedence in cases of apostasy in a case seen as a key test of religious freedom in the multi-ethnic country.

Lina Joy, a former computer saleswoman disowned by her Muslim family for converting to Christianity, had appealed to the federal court seeking government recognition of her conversion. Malaysia’s Islamic law courts, whose jurisdiction applies to more than half the country’s 27m population, consider conversions a crime.

The latest court ruling suggests that people born as Muslims in Malaysia do not have a choice of religion in spite of constitutional guarantees. It could thus strengthen fears among Malaysia’s ethnic Chinese and Indian minorities about what the
