"The horrors of the twentieth century are largely the result of the influence--however distorted--of the great atheist thinkers of the nineteenth century: Darwin, Nietzsche and Marx."

Note the word "distorted" (as in Darwin's influence on Nazism and Marx's on Stalin etc.)

And to get something else out of the way: of course it goes without saying that Christianity (or its distortion) played a part as well, particularly in the horrors of Nazism--e.g.Christian anti-semitism of both the Catholic and Lutheran variety, the racist distortion of Jesus' teachings by some of the Nazis, etc.

The fan will be on 'high', of course :)

(Yes, I've already asked this. But Yahoo deleted it. Plus, I'm bored. Humor me, please.)

it seems many think because they or other don't believe as Christians then Christians will "burn them at the stake"...or some other ridiculous thing...how many years ago did that stuff happen...but it seems the Christians of today are the exact same Christians that were then...isn't that just a narrow point of view on Christians...

The book of Jesus, surely the founder of Christianity would have written something down right "wrong" why is it that we don't see a book of Jesus or even some brief writings? Wouldn't you think the founder of Christianity would have written something down for further generations to see? All we have of Jesus Christ his what he illegally said, from people who knew him or knew of him!

Some of the apostles were married and Jesus hand-picked them.

I would never create a hell. I would never punish anyone in agony forever over mistakes they made in life.

Does that make me more merciful than god?
If so, then the statement "god is most merciful" is wrong, and therefor religion texts are wrong

If Christians took over the United States and rewrote the constitution so that freedom of religion became freedom of Christianity, what would they do with all of the pagans, Muslims, Jews, Atheists and homosexuals?

Do you think they would imprison non believers? Would they excute them? What do you think would happen?

Why do the Latter day saints keep trying to convert me Saturday morning when I'm trying to sleep? I told them that I don't believe in god and then they tried to convince me otherwise. It pains me to tell them to **** off every time but it's something I need to do every time because they just won't leave my front porch. Does this make me a bad person? Or just another human being with beliefs of his own who doesn't want some guy trying to impose his beliefs on me? Especially at 7am on a Saturday morning.

You can’t punish someone for something they have no control over.

What is someone just does not believe in god, or believes a religion that is wrong.
There is no malicious reason for it. It is not like they “reject” god cause they WANT to sin and party with satan.
There is no spite, no malice, in fact they think they are doing the right thing, or what god wants….
But they just got it wrong.

So how can you reconcile a merciful god, with punishing people for being wrong on accident?

Remember that we have many partners in serving God. We are linked together in an eternal community of faith.

When we work for God, we never work alone.

Say there was a god, why would he go to all this trouble to give us a choice in whether we behave or act naughty? Do you think it's possible that he wouldn't be as powerful as he says?

And what if God is just a lyer?

Heya,

Just after some advice if anyone can help me please...

My fiance is Catholic, and I am Anglican. We have discussed the future and have decided that after we are married and have kids we will raise them and baptise them as Catholic, and they will attend a Catholic school as my fiance did.

We were wondering though, would it be a problem in the future for our children being recognised by the Catholic church if one parent isn't Catholic? And would it matter if we were married in a non-denominational ceremony? I am not looking to convert religions at this stage...

Thank you!! :o)

My Mom and Dad don't love each other. They don't even care. They have been married for 26 years since October 22nd, and have caused each other nothing but pain. They are not anywhere near to divorcing only because of traditional reasons, but at the same time are not even thinking of someway mending up their marriage. It breaks my heart. I know I have to be the one to help bring them back together and I need advice to how to do it right from inside their house. Please draw me a picture!

I thank you with all my heart.

I grew up in the christian church. My mother and father believe and honestly so do I. I am 22 now and when i was 16 I came to that fork in the road and went the wrong way. I became an alcoholic, a cocaine addict, have used many other drugs. I am sad and miserable but in the past still continued my destructive ways. In the past year i have slowly been coming to terms that my life is not right. I am a Junior in college, and have been diagnosed Bipolar. This has changed me. I knocked off the drugs and am clean, I am trying so hard to stay away from alcohol. I want to return to church and listen to the word of god but I am scared he won't come back into my heart? Do you think its too late? Will god forgive me for my past?
