sending a non-believer to hell? In heaven you are with God, serving Him, and in His presence continuosly for all eternity. Why would you want this? You spend your entire life wanting nothing to do with God, so guess what? He's doing you a favor by giving you an eternity without Him ie hell. So isn't he showing His loving nature by giving you exactly what you have always wanted, freedom from Him?

I want to know the primary differences in beliefs that set evangelical christians apart other protestant groups. So far I haven't found any differences although I have to admit that I find the behavior of some of them to be a little strange if not outright frightening.

Serious (and factual) answers please!!!!

i recently read "Being Peace" by Thich Nhat Hanh. it was a great read and had some great advice for living for anyone of any faith. what are some other good books to read, either fiction or non, that have a good message to live by?

I was raised Christian. I tried to believe in God. I really did. But the more I looked around, the longer I lived, the more I realized something is ****** up. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption and the ice capades. Something is defiantly wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed. Results like these do not belong on the resume of a supreme being. This is the kind of stuff you would expect from an office temp with a bad attitude. In any decently run universe, God would have been out on his all powerful *** a long time ago. So, if there is a God, I think any reasonable person would agree that he is at least incompetent, and maybe, just maybe, doesn't give a ****. This would explain a lot of these bad results.

"Go laundry GO!"

Did you know most of those people aren't from where you live?

"I don't care. Yay! Go team go!"

Do you feel silly dressing like a five year old and wearing pancake makeup?

"Don't be a meanie! Go team go! yay. score that thing! yay!"

Did you know you don't make 2% of what they make and they mock you endlessly?

"That quarterback loves me! He was nice to me at that book signing! yay team!"

It's sick! You have this crew in Denmark doing there bit with bananas, trying to lead good men into a life of sin and videotaping which gets on the internet. Now you have this team running up and down the court, and you care more about them than your own son!

"Sorry about your herpes Billy, and I know you are alternative, but I have to go watch Texas score that basket now!"

I just got done reading a question about whether people wanted to come to a BBQ hosted in hell. And the answers made me cry. Do people not realize that hell is a place of torment and punishment? Not party and happy times? It makes me sad to see people don't have respect for their eternal souls.

.

One of the Christian here claimed that
AD means After Dead Of Christ
If he were right, then Jesus died 2007 years ago.

As far as I understand
AD means Anno Domini ( From the supposed years of the birth of Christ ).

So howmany year ago Jesus die.

And sex to be within the confines of marriage, why would single people have sexual urges? Why would people stray from their marriages?

Christianity is supposed to teach love and forgiveness, yet it implies superiority and eternal reward.

Islam is supposed to teach complete submission to God, yet it implies bringing others to submission.

Wicca teaches reverance and respect for nature, but it implies receiving the ability to manipulate it.

Do you think that the teachings attract followers, and the implications happen over time? Or do you think that implications are what is attractive?

i'm exploring different churches. I'd like to join a church with some traditional aspects such as communion, etc. I am intrigued by the Catholic church, but there might be a little too much ritual for me. i'm also considering the Episcopal church, but they may be a little too liberal/leftist for me. What can you tell me about the ELCA? What do they have you do if you are not already a church goer/baptized?

for all the arguments creationists have put forth, none have really motivated these scientist to think that evolution is a weak theory. do you think there are underlying reasons why scientists choose to not believe in creationism as valid science? I mean, for god sakes, these people are scientist for a living. this is their trade. They don't feel that creation has made any worthwhile claims against evolution. Are these scientist gravely intellectual dishonest becuase the just "want" evolution to be true? When they denounce creationist/I.D. as junk science, are they sinfully inclining themselves towards evolution? Are they falling for satan's trap?

Is stripping amoral because of the sexual entertainment aspect, or the fact that one is manipulating another for money?



I'm a former stripper, and have always been flummoxed by others' view on the morality of stripping (as if any of them have ever stripped and understand). Right now I'm between a c*ck and a hard place, and can't determine how and why people think stripping (not hooking) is amoral.

I mean, we've all had sex and manipulated others (esp. in retail) for money. What's the big difference? We don't FORCE men to come in.
