For those who completely ignore and say "satan is behind it," the theory of evolution, I have to ask;

How can you be so blind to suggest that, despite all things changing, humans cannot change, when your very own religion has changed countless upon countless amounts of times.

Christianity is sprung from Catholicism. Buddhism is sprung from Hinduism (I'm Buddhist). Every day, they are making changes. There is the old testament and the new one? Did God need 2 chances to get it right?

Religion evolves do fit the society it is within. Right now, the issue is with Gays being aloud to be married (quite frankly, if you change your opinion and let them, what else are you willing to change?).

So, humans cannot evolve but their religion can. Why is it evolution is only what is convenient for the religious?

There is a saying that goes: "Hate the sin, not the sinner."

It is said a lot, so it must be a mistake that's made often.

Being oriented in any situation is something that you can use to make progress or overcome problems.

God couldn't just say "I forgive you"?

If we are sinners because he gave us free will, wasn't it his choice to give us free will and make us all sinners from time to time. Why do we need to be forgiven for what HE did to US?

Please answer in context of trinitarianism belief. The more I understand about the doctrine of the trinity the more it looks like it can not be a monotheistic belief. It sound so weird, so made up. God wouldn't really come up with such an idea...would He??

...how were legal matters handled?

Did everyone agree on this method?

Why did they stop? Why did they start again?

From Wikipedia on Rosh Hashanah: "...the Sanhedrin, which had not existed since ancient times. A recent group of Orthodox rabbis in Israel claiming to constitute a modern Sanhedrin held, for the first time in many years, an Orthodox shofar-blowing on Shabbat for Rosh Hashana in 2006."

Who is God's God.
When did God's God create God.
To what God does God pray, are we just his offerings to his God.
Does he pray often to his God.
Is God's God a good God.
Then who would be God's God's God.
These are questions that need answering.

this scripture applies to us in that we have left false religion?

Now fear the Lord and serve him with all faithfulness. Throw away the gods your forefathers worshipped beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord. But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord. - Joshua 24:14-15

In many ancient cultures men were allowed to have many wifes. When you read some accounts of ancient history the simple act of having sex with a woman made her your wife. Has the one woman with one man become a standard for todays society or simply a religious value pushed on society? Are there any of you that are married and do not care if your husband or wife sleep around? Just curious to know...thanks.

I frequently hear Christians tell me that I made a choice to be an atheist, and a bad choice according to them. But now that I think about it, nobody really chooses to be an atheist (unless they were brought up by atheist parents, but that's different).

Consider this: most atheists disbelieve in god because of an overwhelming lack of evidence, and because of education and understanding of our world and universe. In other words, it is the inevitable conclusion from available information, and no matter how much we want to believe in god, we cannot.

Sure, we can call ourselves Christians and pretend, but deep down, we can never really believe. It's as hard for me to believe in God as it is for you to believe in unicorns, or to disbelieve that there is a chair in your bedroom right now. We simply cannot believe in God because our own common sense and rationality will not let us, no matter how much we would like to.

The Muslims never ask us to leave. Neither do the Wiccans, the Jews, or members of any other religion.

I am fully aware that the Christians doing this are simply trolling, but give it up already, people. Be creative and original with your insults, it'll help to liven up our days.

For those Christians who don't keep *hinting* for us to leave, thank you. It's always nice to play where everyone is welcome.
