So I live in Arizona and I'm moving soon to another area. Mostly where I am there are basic Christians of all groups, and the LDS. Rarely do I ever see the Adventists, but I saw a sign for their church near my new house.
I like learning about new religions, but I'm not even sure what thye believe or if I would be welcome to ask them. Is anyone here a member of the church, or know what they believe? Are they just another Christian denomonation, or something else?

And any comments that are mean about the Adventists can be kept to yourself. I just want to know what their beliefs and practices are from them or people that have experience with them, I don't care if you like them or not.

I am SOOOOO SICK of christians trying to convert me. Get in touch with reality, there is no such thing as a god or deity. Let me ask you all this?
1. Where was your little god when all those innocent people died on 9/11?
2. Where is your little god when little innocent boys and girls are getting molested and raped?
3. Where is your little god when people are dying of cancer and AIDS?
As an atheist, I am challenging all of you muslims or christians or whatever god you believe in to bow on your knees and pray this tonight: God, will you cure cancer tonight?? Will it happen? Of course not, god isn't real. I thought jesus told all of you, ask and you shall receive, yeah right. So go ahead say it, and you will find out it didn't work. And why didn't it work? Because there is noooo such thing as god.

GE 24:2-9, 47:29 "... put your hand under my thigh, and I will make you swear by the Lord ...." (Note: This means "put your hand under my testicles," which is the manner in which oaths were taken at the time; "testament," "testify," and "testicle" have the same root.)
LE 21:20, 22:24 (References to testicles, or "stones" in the KJV.)
DT 23:1 (KJV) "He that is wounded in the stones [testicles], or hath his privy member [penis] cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord."

Something that is omnipresent and unproven is and oximoron, which means one of them must dont be true.

I'm a Christian and I'm against abortion, but I often wonder about the reason that Christians so adamantly oppose it. If you asked a Christian if they believe that the soul of an aborted child goes to heaven or hell, they would most likely say, "Well, heaven of course!" because they would say that it seems unjust of God to send a soul to hell before it had the opportunity to accept salvation. If this is the case, then isn't abortion a great service to the soul of the child by allowing them to bypass life and the possibility of hell and proceed directly to eternal bliss? What do you think? Serious answers only please.

Something is terribly wrong with me. I think demons are tormenting my soul. Ever since elementary school, I have had many problems such as learning disabilities, ADHD, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, and very severe depression. When I was 13 I was such a wreck that I feared I was going to hell so I was baptized in water. Obviously, I was baptized for the wrong reasons and I feel as though Jesus has condemned me for treating his blood like it was worthless. I have never felt saved and have never had a conviction deep down inside that Jesus did in fact die for me. No matter how hard I try to acquire faith, I can never attain it...it's so hard for me. My soul is stricken with fear, countless medications work to no avail, and I feel as though demons are hindering my access to findind faith in God. Sometimes when people begin praying and using Jesus' name, I feel hot flushing and uncomfortable feelings and this upsets me very much. I am fear-stricken and plagued with doubts. Help!

I think we're burnt out on ridicule from the Republicans. It really is a low form of humor.

I am not a Christian but I am reading the bible to understand more. But I have some problems with it. I have read so far about god making laws (The Ten Commandments) but it is so out of date! And so far read up to exodus 33. .finished about the Tabernacle.. The way is seems.. if there was a god he should have Blazed us out of existence by now!

People have been setting dates since way back and none of their faulse predictions have come to pass. Jesus said that only the Father knows. Yes we are getting very close to Jesus return and at a very fast rate, but I will never put dates on anything like that. I believe Jesus will return in this generation the way this world is going, but when I have no idea as I do nto know the day or hour, but the seasons. What do you think?

I'd like to get down to the meat of question, so to speak. I have always been very curious about priestly chastity. So this vow is against any sexual activity at all, even masturbation (which I reck'n it should be, since masturbation is a sin)? Here's the thing. This does not seem psyhiologically practical. Given enough time without release, things happen all on their own. And I don't mean wet dreams. After a while, it's just not possible to not masturbate.

I know I'm stumbling over this question. What I'm asking, I guess, is do they really expect me to believe that priests never orgasm??

If there were no cookies in heaven, would you want to go there? Or would you rather be in hell with the rest of us heathen sinners and enjoy the warmth of the chocolatey fresh-baked cookie?

Not trying to convert y'all, just wondering... And when I say NO cookies in heaven, I mean NO cookies! Just a whole lot of genuflecting and worship and some really bland people to hang with.

"They{atheist} look at the evil in the world (never considering how mankind, and even they themselves are the direct cause for most of it)and they ignore and blaspheme God."

Regarding the "evil" of the world...do may atheist blame pink unicorns or the FSM...am I missing something here?

Is there a point where it would be more ethical to allow them to die? What precisely makes you believe what you do?
