Not what things are evil. What exactly is evil? What is the exact definition? Be precise.

Can you do it?

I see atheists question the Bible all the time and ALL they do is rehash recycled questions that have ALREADY been explained and rebutted by Christians.

Leviticus 20:13 should be banned from being mentioned on this site as this has already been explained hundreds and hundreds of times. Ever heard of the straw man argument? That's what atheists are doing when they mention that verse and many others.

Agree?

Why is it that when a person dies, it causes more sadness than when many people dies.

that when Christians see a place called "Religion" or "spirituality" (or both), they automatically think that the place is thiers? and/or think they own the place?

Could anyone tell me of Prophet Yusef's story? I know he had a detailed story and rather an interesting one. No links please. Do you know his story? If you don't simply say so, but if you do, share with us what you know.

I grew up Catholic and I believe in the Church's teaching. However, I've been taking a class at school about the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament. (it's a required course)

I've been discovering a lot of stuff about religion, the God and the Bible that are eye opening. I've learned that the Bible has a lot of violence, and that God is really portrayed as someone to be feared and not to embrace so openly. Like God is very vindicitive and not "all-loving" as religions (not just Catholic) make him out to be.

What should I do? I believe in the New Testament, the Saints, etc. But, I've never really been exposed to the Old Testament before and it paints a very different picture of God then I had been lead to believe.

What should I do? I'm a bit confused about religion. I want to remain Catholic, b/c I believe in God. But, I'm not sure in what form to believe (the good God or the vindicitive God)?

I was listening to the radio on my way home tonight to a local Seattle talk radio station. The host was Jewish and very upset about what Ann Coulter said about Jews on the Donny Deutch show recently (She said they needed to be perfected) A woman caller calls in and is obviously shaken up and spoke of her grandparents who were French Jews and the most wonderful people in the world, etc. She then said something that made my skin crawl and something I knew would start to happen if this hate crime bill is passed. She said Ann Coulter should be arrested for a hate crime for saying that about Jews. I would like to know from all persons from all beliefs or lack thereof what you think about this. If possible, look at it objectively not just from the standpoint of not liking Ann Coulter or Christianity in general. Thanks and Gods peace.

would you be brave enough to stand up to him/her for what is right? Would you stand for truth and justice or would you cower and worship the evil God? What if he threatened to throw you into hell for eternity if you didn't worship him? What would you do?

If you have the nerve, go to the link and read the article below. Then tell me why you still cling to the impossibility of life evolving from primordial soup? Soup? I think I'll go make some, or maybe if I wait long enough it will just appear on the kitchen table!

I think there is more evidence for a heaven on earth after the second coming.

Until then, we are dead..sleeping.

Please use Bible verses only.

If you don't know what the definition of a atheist is here it is..

as a philosophical view, is the position that either affirms the nonexistence of gods or rejects theism. When defined more broadly, atheism is the absence of belief in deities, alternatively called nontheism. Although atheism is often equated with irreligion, some religious philosophies, such as secular theology, or some varieties of Theravada Buddhism, lack belief in a personal god.

...an American Y!A account? I clicked on one of my contacts links, and it appears that they got in there by using a New Zealand account. It appears that Americans are blocked from using that section.

I submit my step-father for evidence. He firmly and quite adimitly believes in a 6,000 year old Earth. (He is very disappointed in me that I don't follow suit, LoL) Yet my step-father has signed the papers that when he dies he wants his body donated for Science purposes.

He isn't the most brilliant person in the world. But he is a good person. He is a hard worker and loves his family and I look up to him in so many ways. Even though he may still believe in a "Young Earth" he still has the upmost respect for Science.

I just wanted to share this with my R&S folks because I have see a lot of Young Earthers who are "against" Science.

...practicing homosexuality and Christianity simultaneously, that is.

Oxymoron! Contradiction in terms!

Sorry guys, I already beat you to the most obvious answers. You're going to have to actually be creative and say something else.

I am astonished to see some of the answers I recieve on this section. People keep telling me "believe in God," and they provide the most pathetic, unconvincing answers in the world. I go to UCLA, so I know I have a brain stuck to my head, but what is with these people?

If people are going to tell me to believe in God, to "look for Jesus," or anything like that - they better give me a damned reason.

Let me show you some answers I got for asking if it's "okay" to NOT want a god to exist:

1)That's the beauty of free will, my friend.
(That won't stop Him from existing, but I think He'll understand anyway.)
THANK YOU FOR YOUR EVIDENCE, I THINK I JUST BECAME A THEIST.

2)God exists whether a person chooses to believe He exists or not. And, for what you'll be doing for all eternity, that will depend on the choice you make in this life. I pray you will make the right one.

HMMMMMM? What I will do in the world to come depends on what I do now? Interesting! Never heard that one!

After reading hundreds of "answers" here, I can't help feeling that - leaving the "Man-Made" religions out like Islam, Mormonism, Jehovah's witnesses, Scientology and all those wierdo-types that try to screw with your mind or want your assets when you die - there is a very good case to look seriously at the Christian way.

It sure makes sense that the "creator" must be more powerful and more intelligent than any of us or anyone who has ever gone before us because NO-ONE else has ever "created" their own universe or produced intelligent beings to populate the universe they have created.

Man ! Our scientists are still having problems with getting small pieces of tissue to "live" so that they can heal burns victims.
I THINK THERE MUST BE A GOD.

I THINK THAT GOD MUST HAVE "CREATED" THIS EARTH AND THE REST OF THE UNIVERSE.

I think it would be very dangerous for us to "white-wash" the Christian's ideas of GOD, Creation, and Future Judgement.

DO YOU ?

Ok so im not very knowledgeble on the bible because i never actually sat down and read it and im not even sure I believe in God, but im only 18 so I have some soul searching to do and i probably will read it in the long run but anyways my question is:

Before Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins (i think thats right) and his blood washed away our sins (again ithink thats right) and before God impregnated Mary with baby Jesus, how were our sins being repented or washed away....before then were we all doomed to go to hell because our sins werent being "washed" away?

at my school, which is public yet definitely primarily Christian, almost every single person said that it was dumb that people want to have "under God" taken out of the pledge when we discussed it in history. they also said that if the teacher wanted to start a class saying "Dear God," that would be fine b/c no one is being forced to participate.

what do you think?

but think about this...if you're a Christian and you think it should be ok to lead a prayer in public school as long as you dont have to participate...would you be offended if it was a satanic prayer? or some kind of wiccan oath? i mean you dont have to participate so it shouldnt technically be offensive right? what if the pledge said "one nation under the devil (or over the devil i guess)"...would you think it should be changed?

im jw your opinionsss thanks!

Take this Miller ad. Now I like a good Christian or god joke. And I know the Christians have there atheist ones, and some are good as well. It's wonderful that we have the freedom to do that. But even I found this to go too far. So how do you know, when you've gone too far.?
