I was raised Jewish so I believe in a lot of the Jewish teachings. However the more that I study Christianity the more convinced I become that Jesus was the messiah. However there is one point that I cannot accept - the immaculate conception. I believe that Mary had sex out of wed-lock and became pregnant. According to some sources (mainly Jewish and Islamic) she then promised God that she would give her child to him so that he could use him for his will. So basically what I am wondering is if there is any Christian sect that believes that Jesus was the messiah but not the son of God in a biological sense (but is the son of God in a spiritual sense)?

to you?
Which is it you want the most? A God that "loves" everybody and doesn't send anyone to hell, or a God that punishes evildoers?

...were really fat. Now it could be that they have some medical condition, but I suspect many of them were gluttons.

Why isn't gayness considered something that can't be helped like those who put on a lot of weight easily?

And why isn't gluttony considered in the same light as other sins? It does a lot of harm to the body and harm to the self esteem. I'm sure God is as concerned about that as he is what people do in their sex lives.

does it ever make you stop and think? Do you really see other people's points of views on why they have a distaste for Christianity? Or do you simply go on the defense and wish them to hell?
This is not for all Christians. I know several that completly understand why people are frusterated with Christianity. I speak to those who scream "persecution" in one breath and then wish you to hell in the other.

John 1:1 In the beginning there was the word and the word was with god and god was the word

John1:2 And the same was in the beginning with God

what dose this say to you?
I have a thought maybe (I don't want anyone getting offended)
god wasn't always God, I mean this, even thought he is all everything he had to be mentored to become God, just as you and I must be tought how to do every thing that we know, so how could there be a God that just appeard out of nowhere there is a Creator that set things off billions of yrs ago and he is not alone. and it took this long for us to evolve into what you see today and he wants to come back but not till we can get along and get over our petty drama just like a bunch of kids stop fighting take care of our family and each other. so there it is.
?just venting (',')
thanks for reading

well-being depend on it. This is universal. This is why there are wars over religions. Atheists are not different. To understand what I mean, see this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4fQA9mt-Mg
I am not blaming atheists for that. This is normal. They should care. However, some atheists are so blind that they don't realize that, on this respect, they are exactly like religious people. The religious people also think that they have the solution to this universal problem. It is because they are concerned exactly like you are that they also care about the presence of their religion in the society. It is the same thing.

Atheists, don't repeat your point such as religions are fairy tales, etc. You maybe right on some things, but you might also be missing very fundamental aspects. I know that you admit that you don't have the whole truth, but the same attitude is also very strong amongst religious people. Everybody thinks he has the way, the method, etc., but not the whole truth.

Does it make you feel uncomfortable when you are around someone who is smiling all the time and talking about their religious beliefs at every opportunity? Do you wonder if they are capable of other human emotions?

This may sound dumb but I want to know, because surely cavemen go against the theory of creationism since Adam and Eve were way beyond cavemen when they started, They had language and could make dwellings so either creationism has a period where the entire earth goes incredibly dumb and forget how to make fire and wheels (which I don't remember there being) or they don't (or shouldn't) believe in cavemen.
