What if Jesus was not a deity, and you're just pissing the Jewish god off by worshiping false prophets?

Then I assume *Man* determines what rights are in the best interest in society. If that's the case and our rights come from man then man can take them right away..Dis-Agree or Agree?

Wouldn't this type of philospohy bring about dicatorship, communism...

Do you trust a leader that much that he would have such power to give and take away your rights? Rights that are GOD Given
why would you want it any other way?

For example; if someone killed someone, make them go through what the victim and the family faced. If someone stole; have them feel what the person that was stolen from felt.
Why doesn't he punish people eye for an eye instead of forcing people to burn for eternity when clearly an eye for an eye is more just.

there are several layers of meaning in Daniel 9. An application can be made to interpret the rebirth of Israel as the beginning of the last layer of 70 weeks, meaning 70 years. Israel was reborn in 1948 and 70 years from then is 2018, but actually 2017, since 2018 would start the 71st year. Jesus said that the generation born after Israels' rebirth would see the final days prophesied. We are that generation. the last week would be between 2010 - 2017. would this be the time of the tribulation? Do modern threats of nuclear war play into this picture? If this is true.....how will you spend the next 2-3 years?

Corporations, far too many of them anyway, are only concerned with one thing, profits. It does not matter how those profits are made sometimes, all that matters is the profit. This excludes the community, the workers, and the environment at times. How can a corporation be seen as a good thing, when all it concerns itself is with money? I see it, in its present form, as being a very negative infuence on society as a whole, and one that does not exemplify anything that Jesus spoke of, how can it when all it does is focus on profits?

Take the time to read these words and think about your day.

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And i think to myself:
"What a wonderful world!"

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to my self:
"What a wonderful world!"

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying "How do you do."
Thay really say: "I love you!"

I hear babies crying I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself:
"What a wonderful world!"
Yes, I think to myself:
"What a wonderful world!"

What do you think about when you read the words?

The story: http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20070709/od_afp/australiareligion

In a nutshell an Australian Catholic school has barred a student whose last name is Hell. That's really his family's name, and it is of Austrian derivation.

It seems to this observer that here in the 21st century, some religious people are reverting to a pre-enlightenment agenda.

Are we in danger of losing the last six centuries of human progress and returning to a world bound by superstition and shepherded by an blind and unreasoning faith?

Einstein thought that believing in a personal god was naive. Wouldn't it be really stupid to argue with him. I mean he DID figure out the Law of Relativity all by himself after all. Religious zombies can't even think for themselves. This is written in the Bible, This is written in the Qu'ran, my pastor told me not to covet my neighbours damn sexy @ss, even though she's single and gagging for it, I chopped my penis off, does God hate me?

I believe that "from the abundance of the heart,the mouth will speak..." If someone you had only spoken to had to place a judgement on what kind of person you are, only on what has come out of your mouth, the words you have spoken... What would they say about you? are you really a good person at heart if you are speaking ugly things? ...would you be proud of what you have portrayed yourself as?

This raises an important issue. Over the centuries, many violent deeds have been done in the name of religion. People often wonder how this can be. It occurs when religion like Christian exits as a set of doctrines, ideas, rituals, and experience divorced from any deep and expansive sense of empathy or compassion. Without empathy, people’s religious ideas become yet another means of seeing others as “different” and distance oneself from other. Feeling disconnected in this way, people devalue others, like Christians and Muslim do to each other in the end leading to war. Driven by intolerance ideas and tendency to inflict their views on other.

Many Christians will clam they practice compassion and empathy but that is ludicrous. The doctrines of the bible are intolerant to other religion claiming that “any religion or people that don’t accept Christ as his savor will go to hell”. The backlash of this statement is significant since it reject other religion as false, which leads to intolerance and finally war.

What if you're christian? You're not allowed to! LOL! Hey, what do you do if you REALLY want to have sex but you're not married? WHAT!?! You SIN!?! Well what's the point in having a faith if you choose to sin anyway, your God isn't going to forgive you for that, and if he does, he'll have to forgive me for implying that I had gay sex with him and accused him of having AIDs.

Years ago you could really tell the religious women by how ugly they were. They wore no makeup, long dresses, a bun... and a face full of irritation! If a women came through the doors of a church with makeup on and pants, the other women would suck all the air out of the church and whisper "Jezebel!" It was crazy. Everything was a sin to them and the men weren't any better themselves, everything that went wrong in a man's life the women was the blame for that too.
It was so bad in the church when I was a child all the people seemed to talk about was what others shouldn't be doing and wearing. They were so focused on the small, insigificant details of the outward appearence that they forgot about the real life-changing message of Jesus Christ. Christianity stopped being about Jesus, the Person, and started being about judgment and public opinion.
1 Samuel 16:7
...for the LORD seeth not as a man seeth;
for man looketh on the outward appearence, but the LORD looketh on the heart"

Because Christians don't seem to think you are? What are your thoughts?

I asked a question earlier and most of the Christians make it sound like you guys aren't Christian. I know as well as most of you that if it wasn't for you guys there would be no Christianity as we know it. What are your thoughts ? And if you aren't Christians what are you?

I had more judgments made by people here about myself, all of whom have never met me; when I posted the question about athheists ragging on peope with a faith.

It only proves my point: ALL people are guilty of it. Not just people with a faith; and not just atheists! So how is one better than the other?
