I work with the following people:
a fundie- I am on fire for god. Has a huge tatoo across her back with a nail thru a heart reading "paid for with his blood". She can be difficult to work with at times. Shes not horrible or anything extreme except in her beliefs.
a 7th day adventist- the world is 5,000 yrs old and dinosaurs were planted by a vast left wing conspiracy
a catholic- dantes inferno is not a work of fiction but is a true story nice guy but thats about the craziest thing I have heard in some time.
a former bishop in the Mormon faith- absolutely without question one of the finest human beings I have ever met. Never seen this guy get mad or freak out. Gentle and kind I could see this guy converting people just by works alone.

of course being an atheist I can tease them about the flood and all sorts of paradoxes in the bible. All in good fun but the fundie has gotten seriously pissed at me over the omniscent god thing.

Atheism (the kind that really rejects the possibility of any God/gods) or agnosticism?

Don't assume I'm one or the other, don't assume I'm trying to start fights, etc. Just answer.

it has been said that believers will answer to everything deed and word spoken in the Name of God come judgement
if someone doesn't agree with something, who are we to judge
God's way brings conviction, not condemnation and meaness

I'm not judging or making assumptions about your religion etc. I am just doing some 'soul searching' and trying to work something out. Your answering the following questions would greatly help me. If you don't have a lot of time, a simple answer is fine.

1.) What is your religion?

2.)When someone in your religion, whether it be someone in a position of power or just a member of the religion, is accused of some form of sexual misconduct, what is your reaction? "How terrible", "This can't be true" etc etc.

3.)How do you feel about those who leave your religion?

4.)If you meet someone, in person or on line claiming to be of you religion, are you suspicous or friendly?

5.) If you encounter someone who says they were once a member of you religion, do you listen objectively to what they have to say or dismiss what they say as evil lies?

Feel free to answer any or all of these questions. Thank you so much!!

How many of you believe in Jesus Christ with all your heart, regardless how much someone challenges you to have proof, or say the only reason we believe is because we're uneducated when truly education has nothing to do with believing in God?

We all have things we desire and want. How do you align it with God, without trying to CONTROL things/outcomes?

is there anywhere in the bible where god says WHY males must be circumcised? i know there's a lot of talk about it but can't recall if a reason is given.
and if god made man in his own image, does god have forskin or not? did he create adam with an extra bit or does god have one too? and if god has one, why doesn't he want anyone else to have one?
thanks

Be still, and know that I am God. (Psalms 46:10) God wants us to be still and worship him. How much time do you give Jesus each week? If we truly love something, then it is all we think about. Do you think about Jesus everyday? If not what do you think about. If it is not Jesus, maybe this is your god that controls your life. God is a jealous God. We are not suppose to have other gods in our life. You might say I do not have any other gods in my life. Do you always think about how much more money you can make? Do you come home and go straight to the TV or do you go straight to reading the bible and praying. Do you put your activities first and God second? Are you always telling someone about a possession you have and nothing about God. Do you just want to learn as much as you can about God or do others have to tell you about God? We need to take time to listen, pray, worship, learn, and tell others about God.
