I mean from what I understand, they do not believe Jesus Christ is lord. They just believe he is a man, son of god, and a prophet.

Muslim's also believe Jesus was a prophet, same as Mormons and JW.. does that make them christian? I didn't think so.

So why do mormons, and jw's get grouped with christians?

I believe in God and Jesus Christ and yes I believe he died for me, and he's willing to pay the price for my sins. I believe in it and I have faith. But I hate going to church, I hate the preachy people that go to church that try to tell me about God and how I should live my life. I hate how people there act all "holy" on Sundays and become their "real" self on the weekdays. I find Christian music to be cheesy and lame and feel that some people overdo it a lot. I don't want to belong in the fellowship and I don't want priests to tell me about God...I want God to tell me about God. Yet in spite of all this, I still believe in Jesus and God and his good will for me. But I dislike going to church and I dislike the devout Christians. I think the majority of them are fake and they have no right to tell me how I should be. Will I go to heaven or hell?

Do Christians actually read the Bible, or do they just pick passages that sound good to them and read them? Ive come to find out that the Bible has some really disturbing, discusting, and really inhuman things in it. Im convinced that most Christians have never actually read the full bible, they just read passages that someone points them to and believes it. Im also convinced that if a Christian does the read the Bible in its entirety, they would no longer be worshiping God. So if you are a Christian please tell me whether you have actually read the bible or not. Thanks for your answers. :)

For me, dangerous idea wins hands down.

Here are some paraphrases from afterlife believers:

"I don't have to take care of the earth and my neighbors as if god wasn't here, because he IS here, and he will take care of it!"

"My children and their children etc.only matter while I am alive, because when I die, I don't have to worry about it anymore"

"I don't have believe deep down inside the validity/reality of an afterlife, because there are other options 1) Cave to herd animal mentality and just go with the flow 2) Use it to my or my master's advantage, helping to create fear in others so my master (or myself, if I am a master) can enslave them (i.e. work hard for me in this life and I promise the next one will be better!)"

I guess if you don't think its a dangerous idea to be in a state of enslavement, then you have to go with the cowardly answer 'status quo', no?

Seriously everyone from Harry Potter to Catholics to Bono.

Why do people seem so hatefull to everyone that is not them and with the same voice proclaim that they show the love of christ to the world.

Even Marylin Manson (who i think is nuts) has said that he really likes the message of christ but cant stand christians.

Just once I would love it if Jw's would not copy and paste the same worn out and lame crap they get from either the WTBS website or from their own cult provided Cd's when they answer questions or post a rebuttal. Seriously are you guys that brainwashed and devoid of practical knowledge that you have to ignorantly cut and paste or are you that terrified to express what YOU are thinking and not what you are programmed to say?

If not, then at what point can one accept that his experiences are true and come to conclusions through them? How do we know anything? Isn't causality itself grasped through our experiences? If this is not the best way of knowing, then what is, and why?

If so, then shouldn't we be open to something seemingly beyond science and logic? From what I've read and seen, most of us (not all) haven't had any experiences that were convincingly "supernatural." We like to poke fun at the theists for accepting something that cannot be perceived, but many of them say they have experienced "God" themselves. I don't want to get into a discussion about which Gods/gods, if any, could exist, but can we truly say for certain that they are wrong? Yes, we can come up with a scientific explanation for it in most cases, but does that mean the scientific explanation is the only real one?

I see that throwing strict empiricism out the door opens up problems, but are there problems if we don't, at times?

I would like to know exactly where in the Bible (and what version you are working out of) that it says that if I do not accept Jesus as my personal Lord and Savior, that I am going to go to Hell. I am not looking for your personal opinion, I am looking for the verse or verses that say those words.

Thank you.

OK, I've heard that the bible only mentions two occasions regarding birthdays, and that they were both on negative occasions. So where does it say that celebrating the day you were born is wrong? I understand, and agree with the abstaining from blood, and christmas day, well, is not the day that Christ was born, but why not be free to celebrate the day that we know we were born on? I maybe would of studied J.W even more if I had a valid explaination of this. Thanks in advance,

It seems like there are so many people who claim to be Christian who are actually trying to support their own dogma or agenda, and it causes a rift between true Christians and non-Christians. Do you think this is so, or is there another reason?

Or the Pillar of Fire? Or the Column of Smoke? Or the chorus of angels that hung over the manger when Jesus was born? Or the dove and booming voice when Jesus was baptized? Or all the miracles alleged to have been made?

God doesn't seem to have any problem appearing before Bronze Age monkeys, but is awfully shy with 21st century Humanity.

Can you explain this behaviour?

I was born and raised in a Catholic church. We never went to church often. Then, i started going to a Baptist church later with my friend. I started getting more out of church when i went there, and i actually go there because i want to. My mom, however, doesn't like me going to a Baptist church, and lately she's been using comments like, if you don't do this, you can't go to youth or church tomorrow. I just want something that tells her there's nothing wrong with being a baptist. If you have scripture that says that, it would even be more helpful.

who God lets in heaven? The ones that they hate/don't like might get a spot right next to them in heaven. Is that why God has to remove their earthly memories and grant them the gift of amnesia in heaven. How else would they be able to tolerate people that they said were going to hell?

Before anyone suggests anything inhumane about me, realize that this is meant as a rhetorical Q as much as anything, intended to initiate thought (where I feel some may be lacking).

Everyone knows what Hitler did and what he was trying to do. So I ask, what WAS "wrong" about it? Consider, he sacrificed many for what he felt was the good of many more. Also, he was most likely mentally insane. Should he be hated for something he had little or no control over? Moreover, what was in fact wrong about what he did? He thought and, apparently, honestly believed that cleansing a race was very noble and important. Who are we to say him doing something he believed very passionately in was wrong?

Most important thing to me about this is, WHY do you think/feel/react the way you do? I'll be happy to share my thoughts when answers stop coming in.

What are your personal or religious beliefs regarding contraception. Do you think your religious or personal beliefs regarding this should apply to others.

If you favor birth control, do you think the gov't should require couples to limit the number of children they have, and require that abstinence, sterilization, or birth control be used to achieve this end ? Would you favor forced abortions to enforce this ?

If you are against using birth control, do you think the government should make it illegal ? If so, how would go about enforcing a ban on contraceptives ?

way?
Example: When I was a kid everyone told me I should just drop out of school, that I wouldnt amount to anything. I think anger and hatred towards these people compelled me to prove them wrong. I did drop out, but went back and then went on to get a college degree. When I graduated college I sent a few of these people a graduation invite...telling them thanks for the motivation.
So have you ever done this, and how does it play along with the notion that hate and anger are a sin? (if that applies to you)

A lot of Muslims will argue that the burka, or veil that Muslim women wear is to shield their beauty so as not to tempt men. Many of us non-Muslims will agree that this is a bit silly, covering a woman's face because a man is a pig. But we do that same thing in America. Women have to keep their breasts covered because it tempts men. I think us women should be free to go topless just like men are. Not every woman WOULD go topless or even want to. But I think it should be an option for us. Who agrees and who disagrees?
