Why are WE the "#1 most unpatriotic group in America"? Why do atheists get the butt of the joke from Christiants? Why do they strive so hard to disprove evolution, but could care less what actual other religions think about the origins of the universe? Are you aware that all the OTHER religions out there disagree with you too? Why are we so threatening, when we make up such a small percentage of the population? There's got to be somethin' about us that makes you nervous, right? What could it be....Hm...

Did you ever wake up in the morning knowing that there is nothing to eat? Did you ever spend hours in a line to apply for a job with your stomach rumbling because you are hungry? Did you ever tell your children that 2 days old bread and water is their dinner for the night? Did it ever take 2 years for you to get a job? Did you ever live your days from charity of your neighbors? Did you ever see yourself in a public hospital corridor waiting for a room in pain? Did you ever see your children crying because you don't have money to buy them a toy they want?

Did you ever live in mysery or at least close to it?

So you don't know what faith is!!

It doesnt make sense. Where did morals and values come from then?
i ask this question b4 but every1 got off subject; i know that christians are bad, but that's not the question! The question is ~ if a person doesn't beLieve in heaven then why are they being good? And where are they Learning to be good from? Because even the Laws of the Land foLLow the bibLe, so in retrospective aren't they stiLL getting their moraLs from God?

i want to know peoples opinions about it, personally i think when you die all your memory is cleared and you start a new life, that would be freaky... if you think you have lived other lifes before.

Prominent creation scientist Em Adjineri was studying maps from hundreds of years ago and discovered one common factor: All the maps had pictures of Sea Monsters to warn ship captains.

Sea Monsters ruled the marine food chain, but are no longer anywhere to be found. So what happened to them? They weren't eaten because there were no predators that could eat them.

Why don't we find any sea monsters today? The reason is because they are extinct. According to evolution, the only reason they could have gone extinct is if something changed the environment making it unfit for them. But the environment in the sea hasn't really changed that much in the last few hundred years.

This proves that Sea Monsters went extinct because God decided to kill them all. He was angry at the Sea Monsters for eating humans. Since God killed them, he must have created them too. Therefore, the Bible is literally true.

Hebrews 9:27-28 (NIV)

Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.

...just because you've never experienced the same?

For the record, I am not religious. I usually assume people are being a little loopy if they claim to have heard the voice of God. I'm just wondering if it's "fair."

I am an Atheist (As I hope some would know by now) but I was first raised as a Christian...I was baptised, saved (once), had my holy communion, and got the body and soul of Christ every Sunday until my parents got a divorce, I now only get the tasty little wafer and wine when I go to my dads church (he thinks I'm a closet Christian...-_- ew) So the question is for the Christians...even though I do NOT beleive in God, Jesus is Son of God, etc...do I still get into your Heaven since I got all the prerequistives for going? Also, if you need to be saved, baptised, etc. to get into Heaven, what about all the kids who died before they could? Like the stillborns, the ones who died during the hospital, or between birth and baptising, etc., do THEY go to Heaven, even though they were not washed by original sin, or do they go to Hell? And since I was baptised, etc. do I go to Heaven when I die or something? I don't know what happens after I die, but I know Christians do, so I was just wondering

Personally I find it heartwarming to read what this man has been preaching. So kind, so loving.
Is it ANY wonder that christianity is now becoming more and more marginalized?

act of adultery, the very act?

Why didn't the man be brought before Jesus also?

And Jesus wrote in the sand & said, "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.". They left.
Jesus asked her, "Woman, where are those thine accusers? Hath no man condemned thee?
She said, "No man, Lord.".
Then Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.".

Then Jesus said to them, "I AM the light of the world: He that followeth me shall not walk in darkness but shall have the light of life.".

I think about it all the time. What are we? What are we doing here? What is all this around us? How did it get here? It is hard for me to believe that we just die and that is it...but nobody really knows. People have ideas and beliefs...but unless you have died you don't know. It is just faith...people are taugh different things. I just wish I knew what happens...

In his latest video, Osama bin Laden urges all Americans to reject democracy and convert to Islam. Well, I can see that happening. Is this guy living in a cave? ... No, bin Laden said he wants Americans to convert to Islam ... because there are no taxes in his world. Which is true. There's also no music, no ice, no books ... and from the looks of bin Laden, no toothpaste or deodorant either
what do you think?
