They call sexually provocative women whores and sluts, though they say they love the sinner. I think it is because they are afraid that their men are weak and can't resist temptation. What do you think?

The feeling seems to come from nowhere. Its makes me understand their perception of a situation, and i become more accepting of how others are looking at the world when i understand the feeling that they have. And then when my mind analyses the feeling that i get about them, it seems to have some logical credit in retrospect of my observations of thier physical behaviour. I am starting to be much more accepting of other people, because i feel like i have had a short glimpse into their feelings....

These feelings are usually ones that i have not usually associated with before, so where do they come from?

Is there a psychological explanation, or is it the domain of the metaphysical?

I'm trying to combine two silly statements:

1. "This planet has 2 billion Christians, that is such a large number, it has to be true"

And, whenever some Christian does something bad:
2. "That's not a really a Christian"

So, out of those 2 billion Christians, what's the percentage of real ones?

do you believe people are born gay or that they are taught to be gay? if you believe people are born gay, then only god could have made that decision for them, provided god does exist.
however, if you don't believe people can be born gay, then is it fair to say that you can't be born straight either? is our sexuality learned? if that's the case, then how can christians and other theists argue what's "natural"? even in nature you can find examples of animals participating in homosexuality.

She made a simple misspelling. Yet your little buddy from Denmark that loves the same, your little atheist philly, makes a worse mispelling last week and you are all over me to forgive her. Hypocrites!!!!!!!!!! All of these atheists are poisoning the world with their rhetoric and hatred towards our lord and saviour Jesus Christ. Can you imagae what this country could be with Bible study?

"Hi, I'm angry at everyone"

Oh, you must be an athiest.

"Yep"

Would you like a bible. It will help you finally grow up.

"I know more than anyone! It's all about me!"

Yeah....it is, isn't it?

Do Christians believe JESUS is the GOD of the Old Testament?

The Trinity contends that all three parts of God are one without any separation between them otherwise it would be proven to be polytheism.

Therefore, according to Christianity the God of the Old Testament is Jesus.

If you say yes, then you cannot ever deny that he sent the commandments written in the Old Testament.

Someone can say they don’t follow them anymore…ok…. But if they ever deny that he made these commands then JESUS was not the GOD of the Old Testament.

Here is one command JESUS sent down:


"If a man beats his male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies as a direct result, he must be punished, 21: but he is not to be punished if the slave gets up after a day or two, since the slave is his property.” ---- Exodus 21:20-21


If a Christian denies it was ever sent down by Jesus then either Jesus is not their God or they don’t believe that the Bible is the word of God.

Whether these are still enforced or whether these were sent millenniums ago…… are not the question.

The eye opener is that Christians cannot deny that according to their faith Jesus sent this command down.

Maybe enslaved men can handle a beating but fragile women would be in pain beyond imagination.

The point being made is not that Christians are released from following the divine law….the point is that if JESUS is the One God of the OT then he said this about WOMEN.

According to the current Watchtower magazine, which this very polite Jehovah lady left me, the sins of the father are not necessarily replicated in the son – because of this crazy little concept called free will. Said magazine later claims that people only grow old because of original sin. Which is it, Witnesses? Which? Huh?
Tell you what: my great great grandpapper may have been a white, slave-owning aristocrat, or he may have been a poor shanghaied Africaner turned slave. Do I feel responsible for the actions of either? Horseapples, of course not! Both men are my progenitors. I am equally responsible for the actions of both, i.e., not at all.

Jesus has been dead for like two hundred years, folks, maybe three hundred. You may think he's talking to you, but he simply isn't.
Tell me this: if he IS talking to you, what does he say in that still, small voice when the two of you are together? Does he whisper sweet nothings? I hope he does.
Answer THAT.

When asked about my religion, I tell people "it's a secret". lol
I just don't like to argue and stirr controversy. I like to keep my belief to myself.
Do you think that's cool or hypocrite?

Seperate parts of ONE deity that can exist in their seperate forms at one and the same time is polytheism.

I recently lost the love of my life and I am now exploring this new thing with psychics. Im asking ***ONLY**** the believers not the nonbelievers because if you have never tried it then how would you know if it were real or not. But anyway I find all this stuff intresting. And I dont believe it has anything to do with witch craft. I think that the Lord blessed SOME of these people with a true talent. What is your take on this?

70-80% of the USA population calls themselves Christian.

I'm gonna magically create some other statistics now, based on Y!A:

** 73% of the US Christians claim that the USA is a Christian Nation.

** 96% out of these 73% claims that many other US Christians are not "real Christians".

** 88% of the Christians claim having been called "Not a real Christian" at least once in their live.

Based on my statistics, which are pretty accurate, I have to ask: How can a country with only 3.1% Real Christians be concidered a Christian Nation?

When I was a tow-headed boy in a Deep South cotton-mill village, oh so very long ago in a Jim Crow city, I could not and I did not buy into the prevailing state-sanctioned hate. Believe me, my open feelings did not make me a popular lad, and on the day I turned 17, in 1953, I got the hell outta there. But to the point: I am a lifelong nonbeliever in gods and all that, yes, but the teachings of Jesus, though borrowed from long-ago religions, are of deep interest to me. I'm thinking, Jesus, yes, but the genocidal god of a murdering tribe of Bronze Age desert nomads, no. Am I, then, a traitor to by brother and sister nonbelievers everywhere?

I've had it a few times now in answers, "I can see that you're searching" and then "you're obviously close now to finding the truth and accepting god into your life"

What the????

No.........I'm here to do what I can to talk people out of believing in imaginary beings and afterlife concepts. I think they've caused enough damage to humanity and it's time to encourage people to grow up and accept that we're all going to die one day and become worm food.

Why are these guys so deluded?

Or is it just a line that they use when they're confused?

given that the continents are shifting only a few inches every year, it would be ridiculous to assume that they were close enough 6000 years ago for anyone to get from any place mentioned in the old testament and after the great flood to america. so, how did all the american indians get here?

2. Have your spiritual beliefs ever differed?

3. Have you ever or do you currently go to some sort of religious or spiritual gathering just to "keep the peace" or to avoid "rocking the boat"?

4. Do you discuss the differences in your beliefs (if it applies) or do you avoid such conversations?
