Today at work, I overheard two co-workers talking. (I wasn't trying to eaves drop and they were very much aware of my presence.) "Glenna" is an elderly lady who works there, while "Susan" is in her late twenties. Glenna has been very sick lately - she's recovering from back surgery and has now taken a terrible cold. Susan asked her today if Glenna would be in church on sunday. Glenna said she wanted to go, but she feels so terrible, she's not sure if she'll feel up to it. Susan, in her ever hateful manner, then said, "Well, maybe that's why you're so sick. Maybe God's trying to tell you something. You're sick because you're not in church."
Doesn't this seem contradictory? If God wanted her in church, wouldn't he help her to recover quicker? And, instead of being accusing, shouldn't Susan have offered to pray for Glenna? I thought it was terribly rude of Susan to be this way. What do you think?

so i went to church for the 1st time in a long time the other day. And i finally realized why my parents never made me go. Them people feed so much crap into these kids heads, if you swear! your going to hell! If your not thinking of god every second of the day, then you are not devoted, you are not true the bible, and you are going to hell. They were literally saying this, and i was discusted on what they were making these kids believe. Now im not big on religion, and i know pretty much nothing of the bible, but do people honestly believe this crap?

“Take advantage of five opportunities before five other things (that end the opportunity); your youth before your senescence, your health before your illness, your wealth before your poverty, your leisure before your haste, and your life before you death”- Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw)

Knowledge is available to all who seek it; regardless of age, background, profession or any trait that sets us apart from our neighbor, there is always something that we can learn from one another. . We must unite, at all levels, to defeat hypocrisy within our own community, within our societies and within our world..

The first commandment of the Old Testement is :I am your lord god,have no gods other than me.

If you worship the trinity (Father,son,holy spirit) this is a sin,because you worship something that is not god,but a group of subjects.
Even worse,I have heared that some people call Jesus a god !
Jesus was surely not a god !
He has called himself the son of men-not even a son of god,not even related to god.
Christians,your oppinion ? Others ?

Do you know any reasons why? I need to know to help them better understand what I am doing. I have no problem with Christians except, for the fact they always put me down, or glare at me.

The leader of a small group that ultimately wants to secede from the United States and form a Christian republic is preparing to move to the South Carolina county his organization has picked as a base of operations. Cory Burnell, leader of Christian Exodus, said he is ready to move his family and operations by July from California to Anderson, S.C.. He will be joined by other families already living in the area. His family will join more than a dozen other like-minded families already living there. Burnell hopes to put up and elect candidates for public office who share his agenda. Associated Press

EVERY DAY people (and I use that term loosely, but it's mostly atheists) push and harass and nudge Christians on this site until people can't HELP but to lose their tempers, and when we do, they say we're not Christ-like.

You're right, I'm NOT Christ-like! Neither are any of my Christian brothers or sisters. We are wretches who are saved by the grace of God, and are STRIVING to be more Christ-like. You people will never get it. You have no doctrines to guide you, and you are lost. Come home, atheists. Come home. Give God a chance. You don't believe in him, but he believes in you.

First, please do not think I am wanting to offend anyone. I do believe- however I am just curious why people who do not believe care so much that we do?

Genuinely. What's the point of Earth? If human-beings are meant to live here for about 70 years and then move on to another existence, why not cut out life on Earth and bring people straight in to heaven or hell? It seems as if it's a way for human beings to deal with death, instead just accepting death as a part of life.

This isn't an attack. I am curious to know why people believe Earth is a necessary step in making it to heaven or hell.

The USA is currently engaging in a War on Terror.

Now, terrorism is defined as "the calculated use of violence (or the THREAT of violence) against civilians in order to attain goals that are political or religious or ideological in nature; this is done through intimidation or coercion or instilling fear." (Princeton University Dictionary)

So, by this very definition, the Christian teaching that non-belief in God leads directly to Hell is a "calculated threat of (eternal) violence" in order to attain a "religious goal" - conversion of ALL PEOPLE to the Christian way, via "instilling fear."

So, since Christianity is obviously a terroristic organization, as defined by the above definition (which, I understand might upset some Christians - but please do not hold that against me - Im only pointing out the obvious...) WHEN IS THE US GOVT GOING TO START FIGHTING CHRISTIANITY??? This is homegrown terrorism that needs to stop!

We can see distant galaxy's with the huble space telescope, but we still ain't sure what pluto is! Is it ice or rock, could it be a large space station built by the Gods who flew in many ancient cultures writings! Unexplained objects seen by thousands, 98% are considered hoaxes but what about the other 2%? I've seen things myself in my long years, once I watched a explosion in space it was quite a sight! Five of us seen it but we were kids and the local military denied the possibility, we never mentioned it to any one so some adults must have seen it and asked, I suppose!
We can fly to the moon but we can't stand on the bottom of our own oceans! Or can we? Yes the pressures would be strong but how much pressure can titanium with hold!
I still say with all my mind that it would be stupid to think this ball of dust we live on is the only source of life in all of space!
So are we alone? And yes I asked R&S on purpose!

Science continues to disprove events and statements of the bible. Various other religions contridict Christianity and each other. If Christianity is true, no other religion can be true. If any other religion is true, Christianity cannot be true. Other religions have as much or more foundation as Christianity. There is the theory that no religions are true and that religion was created by society as a foundation for morality and a means for people to live in organized society. This would explain the different religions in different parts of the world. These are the theories that I struggle to accept, and I've never encountered a definate answer.
