I no all catholics feel different. Even my baptist church didn't think all christian were going to hell. But they are big on jesus. Jesus was everything. But then again they are the reason i become athest for a while to. I really do want to become catholic. Got to be a member of something. How do catholics feel about young people worshipeing their parents no matter how abusive they are. This is another reason I become atheast.

because all the believers tell me "change your life, believe in jesus, go to church, or you will die in sin and then you´re going to hell
the reason?: I´m atheist and a free thinker

why do I have to be tortured, suffer painful punishments after my death only because I dont believe in jesus??

that is really unfair!!! and you guys always telling me "God is love God is justice"

In response to this question: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylc=X3oDMTB1a2x0anY5BF9TAzIxMTU1MDA0NDMEc2VjA3BlZXBfZQRzbGsDcQ--?qid=20070809154254AAsKudi

A couple people commented that Christians insist everyone else's gods are false because "the Bible says so." So I am curious as to what specific verses say that.

I just did a search for "false" over on bible.com and couldn't find a single reference to false gods. Several false prophet references, a few false messiah references, and dozens and dozens of false witness references, but not a single verse about false gods. (which doesn't mean they aren't there...just that I couldn't find them in my relatively simple approach.)

Commands not to worship other gods DO NOT COUNT. "Not to be worshipped" and "do not exist" are entirely different claims.

I always thought He would come before the year 2000. I wanted Him to come but I wanted to get married and have a baby first because I was afraid I couldn't in heaven. I remember right before 2000 we had to get ready for "disaster mode" at work because we were afraid all the machinery would stop. People went to church that hadn't been in years. The next day when nothing happened everybody partied.
"Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not." Luke 12:40

I've been holding my tongue on this as I watch many atheists and monotheists argue about the existence of God. Well I'll say it now, There Are Gods and Goddesses (not just one), all of which are not heterosexual.

So i bought my computer chair for $1900, and this brother came over, sat on it and broke it. He didnt even had the decency to tell me about it and when i found out he told me to crazy glue it up and didnt even apologise. Now i am tempted to give him a pice of my mind but my better judgement and the Christian in me is telling me to be calm. This money took a lot of sacrifices people and i am really hurt. To further add to my injury, some of my friends were here and they found it to be funny. I dont, in fact i am so upset about it. Please give me some encouraging words as i dont have any around me to offer such just now. Thanks

is God going to give us (those that did not believe in your religion that teaches about hell, FIRE AND ETERNAL TORMENT) when according to you we will be sent there to be tortured, is God going to give us a break in between tortures or is it going to be a constant TORTURE?

My account got raptured again today. I can't ask/answer questions, but I can still give thumbs up thumbs down.

I think no thumbs up/down is the suckiest thing about being a level 1.

Oh, and I request your thoughts, prayers, chants, spells, animal sacrifices, mojos for a second (albeit unlikely) second resurrection.

Peace of FSM be with you.

I grew up christian and always prayed "in the name of the father, son and holy spirit.." but to be honest, I didnt know christians believe that God,Jesus and the holy spirit are one.

There were some watch tower people(they dont call themselves christians btw) that came to my house once (thats when I found out) and they said they believe the father, son, and holy spirit are separate.

what are your beliefs?about the trinity and having faith in general?

Whatever the case, am currently questioning(but not bashing!) my belief in the whole christianity thing(I feel like there is a higher power though). How about just being a good person.

I prayed kneeling by my bed with my eyes shut and my hands folded...out loud....with my mother nearby. I prayed for all my family, pets, school...and whatever was happening at the time.

Now I pray silently after I'm in bed, eyes shut...try not to fall asleep before I'm done....for all my family, friends, whatever's happening at the time....and for Jesus to come soon.

alot people say that dec.21 2012 is a hoax(and it probably is) and that in the bible it says that in the end time we will not know the hour or the second not even the angels or jesus himself know when he comes but the father....well if you look at it from a literal standpoint...it still doesn't ruled out that he won't appear on that day because the hour nor the sec was predicted just the day and the year....
what do you think???....I don't really believe or want to but the mayans were pretty accurate but at the same time they never stated that it would end it's just based on assumption.....
I just heard about this yesterday I know I'm kinda late and I'm freaking out and trying to put reason into the equation...help.

Just Curious, because people who take the time to study it eventually realize that a lot of things are misunderstood and often times stereotyped. As is the same with almost every religion. Have any of you taken a course in Islam (In college) etc..

I took Christianity and Hinduism in college and was relieved of a lot of the misunderstandings I had... Have you ever tried to study Islam to get a better perspective of it?

Peace&Love

I know that cussing is a sin. Is it a sin to watch shows that have cussing in it. What if it's just minor cussing. I watch that 70s show and Red is always calling people a dumb***. This show is rated TV14 and I'm 15. As long as I watch shows that are appropriate for my age do you think God would find that acceptable. I'm not going to copy the cuss words just watch shows that have them.

quoteing the new testement that the early church put together.

Please prove that there were other Christians before the reformation, if so where were they. The was only one church prior to the reformation.

Please tell me why Martin Luther (a crazy Hitler figure) took books and verses out of the original bible (including the Old Testement books of Daniel and Ester) that the early christians compiled.

You use a book that is incomplete, it isint the same one the early christians used or had after 400ad, there are parts missing.

Would you be willing to explore your faith in more detail to really understand it. You can say that Mary, Puratory, Confession are not in your bible but they are, the verses are all there.

You would say I take them out of context but how can you have them in context when you dont have the original bible that early believers have, or that the church to 1520 had.

So wouldnt you say that protestant have to be out of contect, they have half a bible

"Let every soul be in subjugation to the superior authorities for there is no authority except by God, the existing authorities stand placed in their relative postions by God. Therefore he who opposes the authority has taken a stand against the arrangement of God; those who have taken a stand against it will receive judgement to themselves" - Romans 13:1, 2

"For that is why you are also paying taxes; for they are God's public servants constanly serving this very purpose. Render to all their dues, to him who calls for the tax, the tax, to him who calls for the tribute, the tribute; to him who calls for fear, such fear, to him who calls for honor, such honor." - Romans 13:6,7

How can you say the Bible is the word of God and then mock those he has seen fit to place in power?
