Do you feel you make more or less than the people you know. Do you feel the stress of the "keeping up with the jones" mentality? Did you think at this point in your life you'd be making more than you are? I know I asked a number of questions, answer however you wish.

Why do protestants bash the Catholics and claim to follow only the Bible? Do they not realize that the Bible was WRITTEN and COMPILED by the early Catholic Church? I really don't see why protestant ministers preach so much hatred toward Catholics. I've NEVER heard a priest bash any other denomination...

Never argue with a woman who reads:

One morning the husband returns after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap. Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors, and reads her book.

Along comes a Game Warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says, "Good morning, Ma'am. What are you doing?"

"Reading a book," she replies, (thinking, "Isn't that obvious?")
"You're in a Restricted Fishing Area," he informs her.
"I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing. I'm reading."
"Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I'll have to take you in and write you up."

"If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault," says the woman.

"But I haven't even touched you," says the game warden.
"That's true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment."
"Have a nice day ma'am," and he left.

(See, I told you.)

There is the belief that you can get into Heaven with faith alone, but not with reason alone.

Why is faith more important to God?

After coming into this room for a while, I couldnt help but notice there are a lot of atheists that challenge people who believe in God. Why do they think that's necessary? Do they really think they'll change anyone's belief system?

Christians believe that Jesus was Christ..hence the word CHRISTian. JW's do not believe that Jesus was Christ, or God. They believe that Jesus was Michael the archangel. Mormons believe that Jesus' death does not give full atonement of sin, and believe in polytheism (that God the Father, Son and Holy ghost are 3 seperate Gods.)
So how is it that these beliefs are Christian in some views?

Muslims cannot eat meat, unless it's Muslim kosher, right? But what's the difference between Muslim and Jewish kosher?

Doesn't the very belief structure of both religions totally contradict the definition of a Christian? The definition of the term "Christian" according to Dictionary.com is a person who believes in Jesus Christ; a person who exemplifies in his or her life the teachings of Christ. Now does that describe Mormonism or Catholicism? I don't think so. If you disagree please explain in detail.

Kay, here they are...

I have quoted very violent and rather nasty Bible passages/verses in the past, and Christians always tell me they are obsolete because they are from the Old Testament. But don't we follow the Ten Commandments from the Old Testament? Isn't the verse condemning homosexuals (many Christians use that one) also in the old Testament?

1. So why is the Old Testament obsolete? Remember that Jesus said He was NOT here to abolish the Old Law (Old Testament) but to uphold it.

2. And if it is "obsolete", why do we still live by and use verses from it?

3. If the Old Testament in NOT obsolete in your opinion, how do you reconcile your faith to it, when it contains many seemingly violent and bigoted verses? (For example, it is okay to rape a woman as long as you pay her father and marry her. Also, you should "stone to death" rebellious teens, among MANY others)

4. If God is a loving God, why was he so wrathful and violent in the old Testament? What changed?

Jesus' divinity as god/lord, does not matter at all....

Is that how the christian sect determines whether or not a religion is christian?

Bible is a lot of malarkey, and some people would call me an atheist, even though I didn't say one word against God or Jesus.
Why can't we tell the truth, without being called an atheist?

I used to go to the "meetings", and they would always say if a former member talked bad about the religion, it was unforgivable by god, and that these people where called apostates. Doesn't anyone else think that this is facist? Don't we all have the freedom to express our opinions on any matter we so choose to discuss?

Who would you pick.

Mine would be Jesus and Socrates. obviously they had different languages and only one of them definately existed, but thats the fun in hypothetical.

So assuming they could understand eachover, and you could understand both, who would you want to listen to debate.

Note: I know Socrates, was a Phyolosopher but he was very spiritual in a manner.

How many of you think your going to heaven and can prove to me using the bible that we are going to heaven? Not many people can. But i can prove to you that Those doing god's will will be on a paradise earth. Acts 24:15 says there is going to be a ressurection. Luke 23:43 says "And he said to him: “Truly I tell you today, You will be with me in Paradise.” Also Matthew 5:5 says “Happy are the mild-tempered ones, since they will inherit the earth." This has to be talking about thr future because the mild-tempered are not inheriting the earth. Psalms 67:6 says " The earth itself will certainly give its produce;God, our God, will bless us." This is also talking about the future. Psalms 37:10,11" And just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more;
And you will certainly give attention to his place, and he will not be. But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth,
And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace." Email me for comments.
