okay i am pretty sure that most of you believe a looooonnnng time ago everything was just matter, until the big bang happened, or whatever you think.

but tell me where did that matter come from, and if that matter came from something where did that come from. keep giving me answers until you don't know.


now i'm sure you will have a counter argument, and i am waiting to here it(not sarcastic)

Leviticus 11:7

7 And the pig, though it has a split hoof completely divided, does not chew the cud; it is unclean for you.

When I show the above to Christians they try to justify saying "IT IS FROM THE OLD TESTAMENT". But Isnt old testament a part o the bible? Can anyone show in the NEW TESTAMENT where it says its okay to eat Pig?

Our neighbor, Mr. Gibby, gets messages from Jesus. And today the message was "Please pray for me tomorrow." So Mr.Gibby asked me to ask you people to pray for Jesus.
What? Yes, tomorrow.

As much as i'd like to believe that we have souls, the truth is that there is no proof it exists. so in that case, is all the 'deep' love that we feel nothing more than some chemical reactions? well i guess there will never actually be an answer to this, but at least what is your opinion?

i almost think, if we're just a bunch of chemicals, there is no point to life!?

Some one once asked if we Atheist would believe in God if we saw him. We said yes, all we need is proof. Now my question is: would Christians not believe in God if they didn't see him?

Jesus said that love is giving to the needy, feeding the hungry, helping the injured, etc. God does none of this. God watches the hungry starve, knowing he could do something. So if God is loving doesn't that mean the same love Jesus was talking about? If not, it is totally meaningless to call God loving.

I'm a doubter and an infidel but one thing that concerns me about my mental health is the question as to whether a convert has to give up all his old ways even healthy pastimes etc. I mean it. I'm not being smart.

(Repost)

For example when I say I have a hand, properties which include/define me having a hand is.

* It is attached to my arm
* It has veins and blood running through it
* It has fingers... etc... etc... etc...

1 property that I use to define existence is that which is in spacetime. I have many others but am eager to hear your defining properties.

My claim is that no theist can give me a property which is an adequate attribute of existence that applies to Himself and God.
The statement "I exist, and God exist" is not compatible. Because the properties which define existence apply to one "I" but not to the other "God"?

One way of surpassing semantics and getting to the root meanings of "certain" terms is to define the properties of that term. At times simple definitions will not do we have to get to the properties. Once we do this it is clear that the statement "God exists" is meaningless.

Or perhaps I`am mistaken and a theist will prove me wrong?

I've been in a constant argument with people, and I get different answers. I personally think it's christianity, but people say it's catholisism.

I have come to realize that the devil, Lucifer, whatever you want to call him was given the chore of tempting man by God himself.
Think of this...If God asked you to become the most hated thing in creation and tempt mankind would you?
I believe that the devil, Lucifer did just that. He so loved God that he took up this aweful chore because of this love for his father. I know what the Bible says about him but if you think about it makes sense. I dont worship the devil but i do recognize that he merely gives me the oppurtunity to do wrong he doesnt make me do wrong. He is said to have gone to war against God that means he doesnt fear him if he doesnt fear him why play games why not just destroy us? Because God only asked him to tempt us. The devil is the most evil because God asked him to be and of course like any GOOD angel he said yes. He will tempt man and try to get man to destroy himself because God asked him to. All this so mankind can prove themselves to God.heck of a sacrifice

Roman law clearly stated that the body of a crucified criminal was never released, ever. It was literally thrown to the dogs or buried in a mass grave as a last final insult to the criminal.

Pilate seems to have been a particularly sadistic individual who was eventually removed from power for his sadism.

What could Joseph have possibly offered Pilate to convince him to hand him over?

Ok not trying to freak out anyone but occasionally I will be watching tv or looking at something and in the corner of my eye I swear I see like a person there but when I really look there is no one there!
And one time I was walking to the kitchen and I saw a little girl coloring on the floor and when I blinked and looked again there was no one there. And another time, I was home alone and I saw a little girl running through the hallway who looked a little like my little sister but she was at her friends house!
Then I also discovered that My stepdad's mother and little sister died in our house!
What do you think this means?? And I'm not making this up for those of you who are gonna say "Liar. Your stupid and you're making this up", don't waste your time on this. Answers are appreciated! please and thank you!

Example, if a very ugly guy or girl went up to Jesus before the prom and ask him how they looked, Would Jesus just comment on their inner beauty or would Jesus just come out and say, Wow, you are one ugly mother f#*&#@!

Or would Jesus lie to be nice and say, Wow, you look beautiful!
