I'd bet my paycheck 98% (or more) of those outside of the Abrahamic religions will say no. Wanna bet on how many of those from the Abrahamic religions say yes? lol

It seem you cant have one without the other. Without someone making up the bible then there would be no made up god, and without god then the bible cound not be his spoken word.

i've known and heard friends telling me that there are non - christian who go churches and believes in Jesus..

eg , a buddhist who call himself a buddhist , pray to goddess of mercy , but yet at the same time , go church and believe in jesus ..

but yet the pastor dun chase them out .. are this people worse or better than atheist IN your point of view.

and , those people who live in remote places like deep forest , those tribal people who speak language that arent really understandable , and people who missionaries didnt reach .. does this people all go hell?

If your very own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you love, or your closest friend secretly entices you, saying, "Let us go and worship other gods" (gods that neither you nor your fathers have known, 7 gods of the peoples around you, whether near or far, from one end of the land to the other), 8 do not yield to him or listen to him. Show him no pity. Do not spare him or shield him. 9 You must certainly put him to death. Your hand must be the first in putting him to death, and then the hands of all the people. 10 Stone him to death, because he tried to turn you away from the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. 11 Then all Israel will hear and be afraid, and no one among you will do such an evil thing again.


does this mean that my mother should be stoning my butt for being a pagan?

Where did time come from?

Explain how time began and why it always proceeds forward, not backward, and what "cause" brought on this "effect" in the first place?

(Yes, this is relevant to evolution. Evolution is all about time - "millions and billions of years". Surely the existence of time must have some origin.) :)

Arent ordinary decent muslims worldwide erupting into the streets over Darfur?? Islam seems to accept racially motivated mass murder and genocide on fellow muslims for the crime of being black africans! How many ordinary muslims complain about Darfur, or the mass killings in Iraq, or the persecution of christians in muslim countries? Errm none! And yet someone draws a few cartoons, look what happens!

As an Assyrian from Iraq, i can state as FACT, that islam has persecuted my people for the last 1400 years. Our crime? Refusing to become Arabs, and refusing to convert to Islam!

If islam is peaceful, then why are the numbers of non muslims in the islamic world dwindling year by year?

Why are we regarded as Kuffar, or Dhimmi, derogatory terms for unbelievers?

If islam is so peaceful why is it that non muslims have been victimised for so long in te muslim world, and are still being victimised to this day? And why do muslims not speak out against it or stop it?

Rev 17:18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth. KJ version

This and through the book of Rev talks about a female in power that works with the serpent.

If Hiliary Clinton gets office is it possible that this part of Rev would come true? Possibly even NWO? I'm NOT bashing Hiliary Clinton I'm more intrested in Rev

The Bible is considered central in Christianity, yet how many Christians know of its origins and history as a compiled book?

What does your church teach about this book's birth and development?

Why would anyone purposefully choose eternal death over eternal life? God places two choices before each and every person who ever lives - either eternal life or eternal death. As with all choices, each one carries responsibilities and consequences.

1- You choose eternal life by believing God for His Word and obeying His plan for your life.

2- You choose eternal death by ignoring God and His Word and His plan for your life.

Now it doesn't matter that there is no proof of God. So that is not an excuse. I can't prove He exists and you cannot prove He doesn't. He is a spirit - not flesh and blood like you. You must come to Him entirely in faith and you get that faith by reading and hearing His Word - the Hoily Scriptures. It also doesn't matter that you don't like His perfect plan of salvation. He created you. You would not be alive without Him. So He calls all the shots - like it or not. He is the Creator and you are a pile of dust. The bottom line? Life or death - which 4U?

How do you welcome your "Fathers from Space"?

Do you kneel down, lie down with your face in the dirt or look up at the sky, standing proud?

I had a Jehovah witness at my door the other day and when she started preaching to me I politely told her that I am Wiccan, she told me I should be publicly stoned. Well when I replied that I normally don't do that sort of thing but if she had joint on her I would gladly oblige she got extremely offended. So my question is if I don't get all pissed off for being called a devil worshiping heathen, then why should she get tiffed because I replied to her with a slightly smart *** answer. Just felt like sharing tonight...easy 2 points.
