No more terrorism, a society that will get along the elimination of many crimes and poverty. We have an upcoming presidential election, why are so many people looking for Hillary to be president> first she tells the masses what they want to hear, and many people loved her husband as president. Will she deliver with positive results? Highly doubt it.
But a world leader that could accomplish those things I would say the masses of people globally would embrace and worship him...

You deny GOD and Jesus Christ you, then are putting your faith in a human being a *Great Leader* who will accomplish these great things for the world

I am just saying, if a person comes on scene that gives you positive results in addition to performing miracles by your comments you will think he is GOD, so my question is what makes you think he won't be Satan?

Here's why.

Jesus merely "died" for my sins. Whoopdie doo! Ok so he died for a few days, after being tortured for a few more, and now everything's peaches -- he's drinking holy pina coladas floating around on clouds.

What about me? I'll have to spend eternity in Hell for my sins (such as lack of faith). Jesus suffering for me? Bull, my suffering would be infinite compared to his dying for a measly couple of days. It's no comparison. Jesus has no business thinking "his suffering" means a thing compared to all the undeserving hordes being endlessly tortured by Satan.

The Church sees the Scriptures as inspired and authoritive Holy Tradition: the Word of God. It is curcial to understand how the word "tradition" is used in the New Testament, which condemns the tradition of men but calls us to follow Apostolic of Holy Tradition. First of all, Jesus warned againt holding to the "tradition of men" and "your tradition" in the strongest possible terms (see Mark 7:6-16). All Christians agree: The Bible says "no" to man-made religious teachings and traditions. Secondly, Saint Paul warns in Colossians 2:8: "Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principle of the world, and not according to Christ." Here again, we notice the phrase "tradition of men," which the Orthodox Church condemns. In distinction to the tradition of men, the Bible calls us to obay tradition which has God as its source. In contrast to man-made tradition, Apostolic Tradition is our foundation in the Church

Will you all join with me and hand out violations for the slightest breach of community rules to all of the Christian trolls out here? I'm tired of getting hit with violations for no reason whatsoever. Let's fight back!

Is it possible that you envy
The Pagan that is free enough to dance naked under starry skies and invoke the powers of nature.
The joy that Christians have found
The discipline and faith of the Jew
The inculcation of the Muslim
Do you have faith envy..Is that why you are so hostile to the idea of a higher power?

I'm asking because lots of people seem to believe all races are equal in intelligence, yet that would mean that every race evolved EQUALLY as far as that particular physical quality goes. How does that make sense, seeing that so many other qualities did not develop in the same manner (i.e. hair color, skin color, etc.)? How could every race throughout history have acheived the exact same rate and proportion of intelligence?

is it because they are curious or nervous about their decision to not follow any religion? Do you feel guilty? Left behind? Scared even? If you are so sure that there is no God then why keep asking god fearing people about their decision to have faith in their God? I just don't get it! I don't play valley ball so I don't ask people about it! I have never mud wrestled so that is not part of the conversations that I have with others! That's all I am sayin' why the inquisition about something that doesn't concern you? I await your answers intently.

If you repeat the same answer in every question against the guidlines?

For instance one person says this in everyone of his answers

"Catholics are not saved and are not Christians. Catholics believe a false gospel of works that leads to eternal hell (Galatians 1).

Bible teachers that said the Vatican and the catholic cult are an antichrist: John Bunyan, John Huss, John Wycliffe, John Calvin, William Tyndale, John Knox, Thomas Bacon, John Wesley, Charles Spurgeon, Samuel Cooper, John Cotton, and Jonathan Edwards."

I thought that was against the guidlines, is it?

I am not trying to wind anyone up with this, I would like some genuine thoughts:

I read earlier in the paper that some pro life Christian groups were using the commandment of 'Thou Shalt Not Kill' against abortion.

There appears to be a slight problem with this. Firstly, for example, David was not punished by God for killing Absolon or leaving Achitophel to die - in fact he was rewarded for killing Goliath. The usual answer to this is that the story appears in the Old Testament - but so do the commandments.

Secondly, in the New Testament, God allowed Jesus to be crucified. This seems to be a double standard as the Bible has allowed the killing of a child that God could have prevented and chose not to. If God is allowed this choice, surely we are too. In the eyes of the law, knowingly allowing someone to be unlawfully killed makes you an accomplice.

I am wondering how the view that abortion is forbidden applies, when God allowed his own son to be murdered.

No need for more bashing for an answer. I am really looking for the motivation here. Seems people lash out at Catholics, but not at other religions that aren't "christian" from their point of view. How do people justify or call themselves Christians when they do this, or worse, don't even go to the church of their bible thumping?

There's so much evidence. There is so much feeling. He watches over us as we sleep, He remembers our evils, He punishes our wickedness and rewards our good deeds. ...He takes the time to visit every single person on earth, and yet so many deny Him, even when they look right at what he gives them...They deny, they say it was not Him, not He who sent them their wonderful gifts...It saddens me....

Don't you think we should try and help people who don't believe? Our parents ALL believed in Him. But as the generations pass, belief is being lost...Parents aren't telling their children of His love and joy...Will he forsake us?! Will Santa abandon us?!

When they say their prayers, and you feel like you have to join in in the 'Amen', or else they think you want the dead persons soul to go to hell or something.
Do you join in, like you are just wishing them the best right? even if they are not anywhere now, your memories of them are good aren't they? isn't that just what you are saying. Do you close your eyes or say the words at all? and do you sing along?

Matthew 24:5-8 gives us some important clues so we can discern the approach of the end times, “For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many: SO ARE YOU THE MANY?? the one that performs those miracles you are seeking? then you will bow down and worship and say *This must be GOD* he proved it to me , because I can see him and he performs miracles, and has brought PEACE and did away with religion...

So how did Jesus Christ know so many scoffers would be deceived? just reading so many or your answers on what kind of proof you need makes Jesus statements true. Do you see that?
