I asked another question about Teresa, but the answers were basically from people saying I out to slander Teresa. On the contrary, I have a lot more respect for her, now that I know she had severe doubts. I respect that even more because her atheism probably came about as she observed the suffering of the poor, and could not feel God meanwhile. It's strange, another prominent theist, and former atheist, Dr. Francis Collins, reports the opposite effect after working in the ER, and became a Christian as a result.
So, do you Christians think that someone who had serious doubts, and probably would have been an atheist if not for her obligation to the Church, will still go to heaven? Does "Pascal's Wager" work... if you just pretend, will that be enough to please God?

Basically they are trying to get a case heard that will present the question of whether of not jesus recieved a fair trial for blasphemy.

The problem I see with this can be summed up in a simple "pseudo-syllogism":
A. Christians believe jesus was a martyr, and free from sin.
B. The court MAY find jesus was RIGHTFULLY convicted of blasphemy.
C. If he was rightfully convicted he broke the law, sinned and is no longer the martyr hero.

Why would they risk it?

In response to a recent question, I received several "quotes" from various Popes. I took the time to do a little research on them. Tell me what you think of what I found:

Quote 1: "The Pope is Christ in office, ...... we bow down before the holy father as we would before Christ himself" (1870 proclamation)

Notice here that there is no real name given. The only reference is "1870 proculamation" by whom? The closest thing I can find to a real reference to this quote is in anti-Catholic literature, saying that it was said during Vatican I. There is no footnote given. In other words, it has all the earmarks of a manufactured quote.

The second quote is this:

"We hold upon this earth the place of God almighty" Pope Leo XIII.

This one's real, from the 1894 document "Praeclara Gratulationis Publicae." The subject is Christian unity.

Understand, however, that when the Pope says "We" (plural) he is speaking of the entire Church, through the office of her servant (the Pope).

Of Course Prophetic events happened in the Bible- Do you really think human beings would of embraced the Bible (4000yrs) if it just was a fable made up for certain people at a certain time?

Bible tells us the problem that the skeptics have is not one of the mind. It's a defect of the heart, the scourge of original sin. John 3:19-20

Daniel 9:26, the prophet said that a future ruler over the land of Israel would destroy Jerusalem and the Temple. Daniel said this would happen after an anointed one (messiah) is "cut off," which means "rejected" or "killed." A few centuries later, the Romans had taken control of the land of Israel, Jesus announced himself as the Messiah, and the Romans crucified him. Forty years later, the Romans destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple

I myself am Agnostic. I've noticed however, that every religious question immediately has "OMG THERE IS NO GOD! I'M NOT RESPECTING YOUR BELIEFS!1!!! RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE!" as the first couple of answers. Are atheists faster? It seems so because it takes about half a second to get your beliefs denounced around here....

What do you believe in? (1) if you believe in God. (2) if you don't.

If you believe in God, who would you define as being God?

If you don't, what do you believe in? (example: atheist, evolutionist, naturalist, etc.)

Believing God is easy, it costs nothing. We believe only if we are not sure. To make sure, you have to make efforts. For the weak belief is convenient. There are many believers of God!
Those who don't know, believe; those who know, trust. Isn't trust more beautiful and valuable than belief? Which is more important: to believe God or to seek God? Do you prefer the convenience of belief to hardship of genuine search for God?
In the garb of belief are we not hiding our inability or weakness? By believing outright, are we not accepting defeat before facing the trial of seeking? Is it real humility or humiliating oneself?

Especially since God is supposed to be Love. If Satan is in "God's ultimate plan" then why are Christians mad at Satan and not God for creating him?

Religion came from long ago when people were confused and curious about the world.. So like today they came up with theory's/stories to try and understand it. These theories were passed on through the ages and eventually written down, and then read and taken as fact by many. Take a look at every religion they all kind of came up around the same time frame. We need to take it all as fiction and a history lesson, but we also have to move on and get with reality.

He was screaming the same single syllable over and over again, then this other dude supposedly translated it into something like "God is watching over you, protecting you, have no fear for he is always there."
Why do I find this hard to believe?

If Jesus and the bible could be proved wouldn't that mean our christianity wouldn't be based on faith? Which if it could be proven that means the Bible is lying to us? Science will never be able to prove or disprove God so whats all the problems for. Does it really matter to you what I believe?

This is a question to Christians: do you think the Harry Potter books are unGodly?

I, myself, am a Christian, and I used to think the Harry Potter books were bad until I read them. They are not only written nicely and great stories, but they also show morals. There was even a Bible verse in the last book.

So, do you, as a Christian, think the Harry Potter novels are unGodly and bad?

Of your Waco fundamentalist sister who walked out on educator Bill Nye (The Science Guy) because he dared to say that the moon did not have any light of its own, but was only reflecting light from the sun? As she walked out in a huff, she supposed said "We believe in GOD" to explain why she was so upset over Nye's statement.

Apparently, they took issue with the conflict between fact of the moon as a reflector of ligh and the biblical reference of the moon as "a lesser light to govern the darkness."
