In your view, when do Christians become stupid? Are they brainwashed, or are they attracted to Christianity because they're stupid in the first place?

Are all Christians stupid? Why do you think this is?

I keep reading R&S answers telling me how stupid I am, I was hoping I might have some clarity on how and when this occurs.

It seems like living in an age of logic and reason that it has to be more the latter now?

AMMAN, Jordan - A Geneva-based church body said Monday it would launch a global initiative to have churches worldwide rally for an end to Israel's occupation of Arab lands seized in the 1967 Mideast war.

Genesis 15:18: In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
How can they deny what is written in the Holy Scriptures???

We, Muslims believe, that Jesus was one of the mightiest messengers of God that he was the Christ, that he was born miraculously without any male intervention (which many modern-day Christians do not believe today), that he gave life to the dead by God's permission and that he healed those born blind and the lepers by God's permission. In fact, no Muslim is a Muslim if he or she does not believe in Jesus! and hence we truly love Jesus Christ.



Did you ever notice this fact?

I don't remember this being covered in Genesis.

And just how much soil did he bring on this ark of his?

For that matter, how did he get his hands on the Telopea, native only to Australia? Or the Brazilian Peppertree which, until the 1800's, was native only to Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay?

How did this Noah manage to replant all of these things in their proper places after the water dried up?

Are your eyes still closed?

I could have posted this in Home & Garden...

Which other religious Book tells us that this iz wrong? Does the Koran, the Torah, the Talmud or other religious Books have the authority on precreation among ur own kind. Its mind bothering some times to learn that this Nation USA can condole politically and socially same sex marriage but not same kin marriage. The same KJV Bible can be soooo contridicting at times after read'n that the first man called Adam made love to himself, married himself and had children with him self (Eve she Adam) I'm speak'n of the first female that came from him and of him, named by him and remarked by him, "flesh of my flesh bone of my bones etc.". What about the man they called Lot who impregnated his two daughters at their own plann'n and no one wuz condemed by any religious group then nor now. Does the argument of incest applies to all Ethnicity or cultures or the so called Royal family of the U.K.? Please read Genesis chapter 2:21-24 also Genesis chapter 19: 30-38 about Lot.

"As to "littering" the world with blacktop and using polluting cars, its our world (God gave us dominion over it, to subdue it) so its not a sin to mess it up beyond recognition"

Littering ... which will hurt everyone eventually is NOT a sin, but (for example) loving another person who is the same gender..... which doesnt hust anybody ... IS a sin?

Destorying the Earth ..... which will ultimately cause our children, their children, etc.. to suffer is NOT a sin? Now look at the things that ARE an 'abomination' ....

Why do you worship this 'being' WHY???

Consider the lowly mosquito. An incredible nuisance to humans at best. But this extraordinarily efficient feeding and breeding machine also spreads malaria, probably the deadlest disease in human history, killing hundreds of millions of people over time. According to evolutionary biologists, mosquitos have been around for 170 million years virtually unchanged (with apologies to you "young earthers." For you, let's just say that mosquitos have made quite an impact in the world's 6000 year history [sic.]). Anyway, my question is do you believe that mosquitos were "intelligently designed?" If so, was that God's intent, to create a creature that causes so much death amongst humans? If you're one to believe that only humans were "intelligently designed," than why didn't God make them immune to malaria? Such a little thing would have kept so many alive.

population. The Stats were provided by the US Bureau of Prisons. The stats showed Christian pop: 80% Atheist pop: 0.2% Apparently, so many people hit the ABUSE button, the question was removed! Now, is the removal censorship or are some people actually offended by those stats???

I mean the bible one, I have no quarrels with the others.
Let me explain: god destroyed humanity with the flood, he sent them away from heaven, he sent down punisments of various kind, plagues, wars ecc.

As far as I see it, the greatest danger for humanity are not the greenhouse gasses. It is god. Who is with me in the battle against this allkilling monster?

The Fundie Christians want us to believe that Atheism is destructive to society using things such as Communism as evidence. Would some Atheists or anyone else who wishes please share examples of how Atheism/Atheists have been and can be beneficial to society.

I know there are plenty, for instance Buddhism, and figured it would be appropriate to shed some light on this issue of "Evil Atheists".

If you are comfortable with your beliefs - keep it to yourself or your friends. You're gumming up the works in here by trying to pass off your preaching as questions. I am pretty sure we all know who Jesus is at this point.

1) Organized religion busy trying to convert everyone thinking they are the chosen ones.
2) Atheists with missed connection towards God. Failed to sense the being of God.
3) Spiritualists all around the world trying to unify human beings irrespective of color, religion, culture.
Are there any more categories and which one do you think you belong into?

What was the timelesss perfect entity doing after the creation/talking snake story until Jesus' virgin birth (ahem) He can't have been waiting as he is outside space and time also he is perfect already so what was he doing?Perfection needs or wants nothing, why 'decide' 2000 years ago to put Jesus on earth? Of course one theory is that it was all made up by man, that would certainly explain the faulty logic to all this, what do you think?

seriously, i see that all the time. many christians assume that since we don't fear hell that we over indulge in things.

as a pagan, many of my friends are vegetarian or vegan, many don't drink, many don't smoke, and many don't use drugs. the ones who do drink, don't usually get so hammered that they're falling all over - if they did, they couldn't hold a good drum beat or dance safely around the fire!

i know many christians who drink, smoke and use drugs on occasion, and some who are addicted to one or more of those.

i don't smoke, don't use drugs, and most of my drinking is on R&S with pascal's wager!

jesus drank wine, don't forget! and even just one glass of wine alters your perspective or state of mind.

Are you a new spiritual man in Christ Jesus?

Jesus told us to drink of the 'fruit of the vine' in remembrance of Him. That this is His shed blood for the remission of sins of many...

Why did Isaiah teach the Messiah would atone for sin? did Muhammad not hear the word of God before he disagreed wiht the prophets of God? Why would the God of Abraham change his word? the Qu'ran says Allah is the same God and the Bible was his word and his word could not be changed...Why did Muhammad attempt to change God's word? Why does the Qu'ran not agree with these prophets of God and God's word when it says it agrees with them?
