I'm an atheist, so of course I don't think that day will ever come. But since YOU think it will come, this should be considered a valid question.

Do you think god is going to fall for your spin, or does he already know exactly what he meant and how you twist it to suit your desires?

...if Adam and Eve were not dispelled from it after sinning by eating the forbidden fruit? Would Christ need to be crucified then?

with religion or "religious" people?
That's not "our" problem.
False teachers are as much of a problem to "us" as they are to you.

I am certainly no expert on Catholicism, but all this business in Catholicism of kissing the priest's ring, confessing your sins to the priest, the priests being the only ones that can communicate with God, and charging Catholics outrageous fees for a non-Catholic spouse to become a 'true' Catholic seems to me like the priests are placing themselves above God. How is this not blasphemy and how is participation in the Catholic faith not considered idolatry (according to the Christian faith)? Please help me understand!!

In Vietnam we used to ask each other:

1. Who would you trust with a secret?

2. Who would you trust with your car keys?

3. Who will you trust when the going gets tough?

(No offense intended - I really would like to know about this.)

My friend (now Wiccan) was raised in a very strict So. Baptist family. Their church frowned upon dancing. Why ? Just curious.

The noise that anti-Semetic Fundamentalists here make is bound to cause you to wonder if Christianity will ever end its centuries of hate. I read yesterday a nonfiction account of a happening in WWII Warsaw which paints a different picture of Jews and Christians. It is "The Zookeeper's Wife," about the rescue in Warsaw, after the German invasion, of 300 men, women, and children by a Christian dad and mom and their son. Keep in mind that, in Warsaw under the Germans, to even give a glass of water to a thirsty Jew was punishable by death. The Christian family were zookeepers whose critters had been taken away and shipped to Berlin's zoo. They hid the 300 in the various wild animal houses until, as the Germans retreated ahead of the coming Red Army, the city was liberated by Polish resistance fighters. It's a little-known true story, a fascinating and beautifully written story. Read it: "The Zookeeper's Wife", published in the States by W.W. Norton.

(Oops, I posted in the wrong category before.)

It was today's birthday boy, Arthur Compton!

"For myself, faith begins with a realization that a supreme intelligence brought the universe into being and created man. It is not difficult for me to have this faith, for it is incontrovertible that where there is a plan there is intelligence--an orderly, unfolding universe testifies to the truth of the most majestic statement ever uttered: 'In the beginning God.'"

These are the words of American physicist Arthur Holly Compton, born Sept. 10, 1892, noted for confirming that electromagnetic radiation is at the same time both a wave and a particle. He was a co-recipient of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1927.

Do you agree with Mr. C?

Thanks for sharing your [rational] views!

I have some background in the occult and I HAVE heard it. I answered a question that asked if Led Zeppelin was Satanic, that is in voting now.The guy under me said I was an idiot because there is no backward masking on Stairway to Heaven. When I read it it made the blood rush to my face it made me so mad. I hate to be called aliar when I'm telling the truth. Anyone else heard it backwards?

i am goin through a really though time in my life right now, and at times i feel so crushed it feels like my heart is gona give up on me. im not a dramatic person, but been tru so much..n the only one person there for me emotionally feels so distant atm.. my sense of being exiled from everything grows n grows.... wt do you ppl turn to for that strength to keep you convinced that things r gona b ok... ive never been much of a religious person..wer i come from, religion is used to justify all sorts of bad people (im not going into that) but in short terms, i stick to treating others with kindness and respect.. for me being moral, sticking to my values and going to sleep at night with a clean conscience satisfies my spiritual duty. But the truth is most people do not behave like that around me at all.. n im speaking family n "friends".... comments? ideas?

Sure, some atheists may seem to be here soley for the purpose of saying that we are brainwashed, ignorant/uneducated, and whatnot, however I believe that most atheists come here because they feel religious bias in the laws of the country(US), and want to voice their views directly to the source..So, my question is: Do we (Christians) have a duty to our belief to push lawmakers to impose new laws regarding homosexuality, prayer in public schools, and abortion rights?
Or, Is our goal to build the body of Christ. Does the first support the second?

We know what sin is, and we know how we want to live our lives, but it is free will right? People are going to do what they want regardless of God's law, or whether it is the right thing to do or not, so are Christians wasting their time in politics?
