Just wondering if the God warriors will one day snap and believe they're killing Satan by killing non-believers? And if they'll believe this is really what God wants them to do? And I'm also wondering if they'll lose their own lives if they refuse to take up arms for the cause of God when the official battle cry really does go out.

For example sports competitions and games are a chief source of recreation.
Capitalism is based on competition.
War is basically competition.
Evolution: Survival of the fittest--competition again.

Just to make it interesting no god or jesus answers please. While I know it would be many or your first choices, it would make for a very boring set of answers.

So that leaves a whole lot of people left to choose from, so pick anyone, scientists, philosophers, church fathers, political figures.

For me I think i would chose, Sir Isaac Newton. He was a genius among geiuses, and mad as a hatter. For all of the work he is famous for, wasted more than half his career obsessing over alchemy. Fascinating man.

they cry wolf towards those who do and are different from them!

yet - they kill in the name of God, they judge harshly,they committ gluttony ,domestic violence,they sleep around even though they are married ,they molest children , they are greedy in a monetary sense , they abuse children ,they are liars,they preach what they don't follow , they have political agendas and the list goes on and on!

a study at the University of Minnesota revealed that they would trust anyone (Homosexuals ,Muslimsetc..) more so , just as long as it isn't an Atheist!
funny thing is , that they hate the two groups I just mentioned , but they very much hate Atheists! isn't hate something that their Jesus told them not to spread???

would it be safe to assume that they themselves have no morals what so ever , even though they preach us this all the time?????????????

I constantly dream of becoming God. But it isn't a simple wish, it is a dedicated effort. Do I just crave great power? Am I insane? Am I even alone? I'd like to think that with some great dedication, combined with future technologies, I could have the power of an almighty deity. Is it wrong to want to become God?

am 23 and I am finding it really hard being a christian. I am borna again and I am not really sinning i.e. not having sex not drinking not going to clubs etc. I am reading the word and going to church and seeking god but I am finding it so hard and not very much fun. It looks like people of the world are having so much fun and I am not. I feel like giving up but maybe god is testing me?

Any one expereinced this?

I've heard that the Mormon Jesus is different than the regular Jesus.

For those of you who think this, give me chapter and verse in the Book of Mormon that proves this.

And, isn't this just you saying that your god is better than someone else's god? Isn't there some part of the Bible that says you're not supposed to do that?

Let me ask you this:

If you found a watch in the sand, would you automatially assume that it formed by itself? Of course not. The watch is far too complex to come about by accident.

The same things goes for all life on earth. Agree?

i'm referring to the order of matins, order of vespers, order of martyrs, etc. where did this stuff come from exactly? is it a part of apostolic tradition, or an invention (and i don't mean that in a bad way) of the early roman catholic church, or what?

someone says "I think I found my soul mate" ? I've always wondered that, I've seen the way many Atheists on here vehemently claim a soul doesn't exist and that there's no evidence for it.


So I'm curious what you do when someone says they've found their soul mate. Do you say "There is no soul" or just stay quiet? A persons beliefs should not just be on one part of their life so you can't really stand there and say nothing when they're saying something that you obviously know is wrong.


Don't give me the "You're just trying to attack Atheists" answer either, I'm simply giving you a situation and you tell me how you'd respond as per your beliefs. Attack question or not, I want to know and I want to know why you'd do one thing over the other.

Did you read Job... well you can clearly get his nature from there. Well they say if horses had a god he would be a horse.
Well humans are jerks... and the guy up there is the biggest jerk of them all. The all concept of monotheism sounds a bit fishy.
It’s like we would have only one rabbit in the world. And about the all mighty god thing, its just like the wizard of oz, he was going about that he is the big powerful wizard of oz but in realty he was just an *** fooling every one. Well getting me? Nothing is immortal. For example for a long time people thought that mountains were immortal always the same, well but if you didn’t hard yet mountains change all the time, they just have a different speed of doing it. Every thing has a beginning an end, even god. He is not all mighty. And he is not one. He wishes to be only roller-that’s makes him a dictator.
And I will not bow to any dictator man or god.
And if you ask how we can over come our creator, wish is all bullshit. You know evolution that by the way does not stand in contrast with god. So if you ask that, robots do it all the time in, you know… that the real nature of god
He his just a like the wizard of oz. FAKE

Do you see marriage to your spouse as a garment? A garment hides your body, and a spouse hides your secrets (well, a good one anyway). What do you think? How does it make you feel?

"The Prophet of Islam, peace be upon him, said, "Women are the twin halves of men". The Qur'an emphasizes the essential unity of men and women in a most beautiful simile:

They (your wives) are your garment and you are a garment for them. (2:187)

Just as a garment hides our nakedness, so do husband and wife, by entering into the relationship of marriage, secure each other's chastity. The garment gives comfort to the body; so does the husband find comfort in his wife's company and she in his. "The garment is the grace, the beauty, the embellishment of the body, so too are wives to their husbands as their husbands are to them."

Question: UK: What's the cheapest way to attract volunteers to join a charity?

Question Details: charities spend too much on administration and other expenses. that's my reason for not helping out. if charity bosses were to take less wages that would encourage many people like me to join. many charities are corrupt and do not declare the full sales from their charity shops. also managers from local charity shops steal money by not showing full sales figures; this is an epedmic and done widely with full knowledge of charity commision

Many nonbelievers visit this subject for the sake of destroying
the faith of those who would trust God. Those who are just
learning. Those who dose not have all there facts straight but would still try to teach others. Be happy with your newfound
faith. Those who would destroy it are workers of the Devil.
Study what you would like to share. To those who wont listen,
let them go to hell. Matt, 7:6 tells us " do not cast your pearls
before the swine" ( pearls meaning, words of wisdom ) " lest
they trample them under there feet, and turn and tear you in
pieces". Don't wast your time with the nonbelievers. Let them
go to hell. Its THERE choice! Find a friend who thinks as you
do and study the word together. The big QUESTION is, Why
should you wast your time on someone that is trying to destroy
your very soul? Can't you see that they are evil people only
pretending to be good? Do you think a good or nice person
would try to destroy the faith of a new believer?
Believers only please!

I would love to hear from a catholic on this. I grew up very catholic (I am now a born again Christian) but all growing up, I always heard "oh that jim smith, hes a good catholic." or "you need to go to ccd to be a good catholic" etc. Why do they identify more with the title of catholic than Christian. Thanks in advance for your answers.

I'm having a huge problem understanding the concept of original sin. If we were created in the image of God, and God is perfect in all his ways, then how can we possibly be lowlife scuzballs at birth? Sorry but that makes absolutely no sense to me whatsoever.

I am sooo annoyed with the ignorance of man! Most people on here ask legitimate questions to educate themselves or to learn and understand your ways, but you crap on them with your stupidity! Then everyone wonders why certain Religions are constantly under seige!
I have my own beliefs but share a passion to learn and understand yours, same with others. Some people are still trying to find their path and ask for help and guidance yet you insult their need for help!
Someone asked a question like, what faith do I follow? Could I be this since I believe in this/that? I don't know? and someone answered: No, you're just ignorant.
Since I only have so many characters to use, I can't put the other examples down...man!

What is wrong with you people!!? You need to step up and educate one another to really make a difference.

As for the ones that are truely out to help others understand and give intelligent answers to the best of their knowledge, I thank you and it's greatly appreciated
