I have a no solicitators, no canvassers, no peddlers sign on my door -- they ignore it and knock anyway.

A long time ago I requested that they please take me off their list and stop visiting my home. They rudely ignore this and continue to make visits almost once a month.

It is so annoying!

Is there anything you can suggest so that I might be able to stop what feels like harrassment in my own home?

I have taken a few "Christian" quotes from different post from the last few days. What is your favorite. I think I will do this everyday....Yeah I know, I have too much time on my hands today =)

get saved and you can ask him.

Or die in your sins and go to hell and burn forever

What good news could an atheist possibly have about eternity?

K.L. 2
atheists ill ignore u =D

You have no idea just how far off the track you are here.

First off, God does NOT sin. So that pretty much trumps out the rest of your question

alwisdom...
to think that God is an angel...it is ridiculous


hamoh10
AGAIN!!!Learn the length of time in a DAY read Psalm 90:4 and awwwww forget it it's over your head!!!!!!

this question lacks enough rational and intelligence.

The Bible is for those who can see!

Indya M
The problem is that you said if admitting you are no longer a Christian sends you to hell then so be it because you don't want to spend eternity with these kind of people. You will be. They are going to hell too if they don't get their lives in order.

gtahvfai...
I thought you started off sounding fairly intelligent but somewhere along the way you took a really bad turn!

EternalS...
Jesus sees us right now.. tomorrow might be too late to change. I hate rhetorical questions like this,

LeslieAn...
It is illogical to ask a question about something that you are saying is not true. If you don't believe in the rapture, why discuss it? Is this just a chance to rant a little about Christians? Why waste your time and ours on insincere pseudo-questions?

If you have a real question, bring it on. If not then why bring it up? Find some questions about a non-spiritual subject where there can be real discussion instead of attempts to bait people who believe in the rapture.

Angel Tears
The 'what if' is merely a waste of time for true believers.

Susan L
so easily swayed

Esther
Honey, go back to your bible study

n9wff
better rethink your question if you get responses like that from nonbelievers.

I don't understand how you can tell which part of the bible is literal and which parts are meant to be 'interpreted'. If all of the supernatural things like turning water to wine, walking on water, rising from the dead were all interpreted to mean something else, then I could understand. It seems as though people believe that those things ACTUALLY happened. But other things that seem to be straight forward have to be interpreted. How do you know WHEN to interpret? What if school books were that way? How do you interpret 2+2? I interpret it to mean 4. Can it be interpreted to mean 2,344,235?

Someone sent me, in an email about kindness etc... "We know of God's existence when we experience the random acts of kindness of others" Is that how God proves his existance, or is it POSSIBLE that people are kind without God's involvement? Is it possible to perform random acts of kindness without having Spirit at the root? Or are random acts of kindness proof of God's existance? Thoughts?

Wouldn't His omnipotence eliminate the chance of a less than desirable creation.

The Bible portrays God as a fallable Creator and humans are the weak, unworthy result of His endeavor.

Why create humans as such weak and dependent creatures when even the lowly beasts suceed without intervention? How does human weakness honor our Creator?

Do you really believe that God made us with less self determination than the beasts of the Earth? How can so many beleivers have such little respect for our Creator?

Thanks

Ok, so many people are so quick to jump on the ills of religion. However, Christianity has probably accomplished more good in the world than the aberrant consequences caused by its MISLED followers.

Let me start:
- countless humanitarian efforts (recently Hurricane Katrina, tsunami disaster relief, etc)
- the abolition of the slave trade in Great Britain in the 19th century was a direct result of Christians lobbying in Parliament
- the Salvation Army is a Christian-based organization that is the largest provider of social aid in the world
- Christians led reform movements in the US in the 19th century: factory reform, temperance, education, child welfare, workplace conditions, etc.
- Millions of Christian missionaries have brought education, reform, medicine and lives of devotion to peoples in all cracks and corners of the world (most of them supported by the financial gifts of churches)

I am trying to make my list longer, can you help? Thank you very much.

aren't you just a body?---Unless the head of your body is Jesus you will remain in the grave---Is this why so many fundementalists have trouble understanding the body of Christ and everything connected to it? They are not a member of it?

Killing others and yourself in the process to prove a point???

Is it really necessary? Aren't there better ways to prove a point than killing yourself and others?

Or does making an omelette require breaking a few eggs? (Figuratively speaking, of course)

So I tried to do what all the evolutionists say the creationist should do when asking about evolution and I got crap for answers.

What do you suggest I do now? Ignore the evolutionists and continue to ask in R&S or keep wasting 5 points and get crappy answers?

You know, things such as records and scribes' writings, or artifacts? I'm not talking about the gospels, since that's not third party sources that I'm asking for. Is there any solid, unequivocal evidence for the existance of Jesus other than the Bible?

as an active atheist i study many religions in the forlorn hope that i will see the light but so far ive not found what im looking for. my question is this- can anyone tell me of any religion where there is not an obsession with death (ie where we go when we die) having been a paramedic for 17 years ive seen many corpses and so far nothing convinces me that death is anything but the end. christians dont bother to reply unless you are not going to mention heaven or hell

ok so is there any links you can give me or can you explain your beliefs a little for me? I am very curious about your beliefs and have had a little trouble finding an unbiased website. I don't plan to convert or anything but I feel that a knowledge of all religions is important to finding out what it is I personally believe. Thank you in advance for the honest answers.

i mean i'm at least here (despite being asked repeatedly why i'm here) asking questions... sadly, the answers i get are pretty much the same rhetoric that i was used to spouting off when presented with the same types of question back when i was a believer. the few answers that i do get which pertain to science supporting existence of a god, when i cross check in the actual science section, i find that people are all to often taking things way out of context or completely leaving out large amounts which dispute such an idea. so, can you really say i haven't been open-minded?
