I was watching the Dog Bounty Hunter on Hannity last night he was weepy and couldn't of been more remorseful for saying the N- Word to his son..Okay he said the N-Word and it was publizied for all to hear, if he was Sorry, truly why isn't saying *I apologize to those I offended and let it go? he now thinks he has to be buried in a Black Cemetary so he can truly be forgiven..WHAT? if he thinks he has to do all that, what does he think he needs to do for Jesus Christ to forgive him? Jesus never said *You must stand on your head rub your stomach with one hand and eat Spaghetti-O's to be forgiven*

What he said is you must forgive your brother 7 x70 to the ones who have been offended..Dog and his Pastor are mis-informed
Don't you think?

when Christians have also carried out acts of terrorism?

Since 1989 - 2004 : There have been 24 murders or attempted murders from Christians. There have been 179 Bombings, Arsons, Attempted Bombing or Arson. There have been 3,349 accounts of Invasion, Assault & Battery, Vandalism, Trespassing, Death Threats, Burglary, & Stalking. When people think of terrorism, they think of Muslims but the truth is, Christians have been carrying out terrorism in the U.S. on a regular bases, yet people don't blame the faith.

I don't believe there is a 'god', nor therefore do I believe that there was ever a 'son of god'.

I do reckon though that there once was a man (an ordinary, mortal man) called Jesus, who taught his friends and followers many good, strong moral lessons, and encouraged them to pass them on.

After hundreds (then thousands) of years of being told and retold, these lessons (as well as information relating to the man himself and his life) have been warped, exaggerated and embellished beyond recognition, to the point where he's become some kind of supernatural superbeing.

If I'm right then christianity itself is a bit like a giant game of chinese whispers (or 'telephone' in the US), spread out over two thousand years.

What do we think, answers community? Anyone agree, or care to comment?

Asked about Mormonism by a Christian in a recent question.

Can this question be asked by members of any religion by members of any other religion?

I say ‘modern’ because we have so much more knowledge and understanding of reality in today’s modern world and I single out Christians because they typically come from countries where there is greater access to modern education resources. All this knowledge and education has the power to easily counter any of the Christian beliefs and has been able to do so for the last two centuries at least. Yet still a majority of god believers exist in today’s modern societies. This leads me to conclude that Christianity must be very close to the ideal delusion because it self perpetuates even in the face of powerful antigens, just as a living organism like a virus does. Will we ever be able to immunize children against this devastating virus?

NFL Players do not go to church on Sunday's... They instead use this time to provide for there families the best way they know how.

Does that mean they are going to hell?

If you are a completely moral person... but choose not to attend church, or really worship any God do you believe that is just cause for damnation?

the Bible has approval of prayers for the dead:
"In doing this he acted in a very excellent and noble way, inasmuch as he had the resurrection of the dead in view; for if he were not expecting the dead to rise again, it would have been useless and foolish to pray for them in death. But if he did this with a view to the splendid reward that awaits those who had gone to rest in godliness, it was a holy and pious thought. Thus he made atonement for the dead that they might be freed from this sin" (2 Macc. 12:43–45). Prayers are not needed by those in heaven or hell so what is it?
Christ refers to the sinner who "will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come" (Matt. 12:32), suggesting that one can be freed after death of the consequences of one’s sins. Similarly, Paul tells us that, when we are judged, each man’s work will be tried. And what happens if a righteous man’s work fails the test? "He will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire"

Do you believe you will be with family? Do you believe you will know other people in whatever heaven you believe in? Do you think it will be sitting around on a cloud and playing a harp, or is it more then that?

Lets say a women is married to a man, and the man dies. And lets say another man is married to a women, and the woman dies. After the deaths, the living woman and living man meet and get married. All four are devout Christians (I am using Christianity, but you can replace this with whatever you want) and lead the life that theoretically gets them into heaven.

Who are they married to when they go to heaven? Is it a foursome? Do they stick with their original marriage?

What are your thoughts? I am not looking for a "right" answer from a particular religion, but what you all personally think.

i was reading an article from a credible site that said that joseph smith was arrested and had a record.. it said the authentic documents had went missing for 35 years, but they have been found and proven authentic... this kinda proves what ive been sayin all along... he was a liar... so my quesiton is, why dont mormons take this as evidence? i mean, its tangible proof... why would you continue to beleive a religion that is based on brainwashing and insane ideas?

Here in our corner of the USA there is a huge lot of animosity to having the manger/nativity in the downtown park at Christmas time. About six years ago the bigoted ones forced the city to forbid such a thing. This year a large Nativity was just set up, with the Mayor's and the city attorney's permission. Tonight's paper already has flak about this, and folks are demanding it be taken down. Now I ask you, do you think this is fair ????

My girlfriends parents asked us to attend a church dinner that they were also invited to go to, they don't attend the church they just didn't want to go alone. Having Christian beliefs myself I agreed, my girlfriend agreed and the dinner is tonight.

I used to attend this church, before I was out... in fact I was dating a guy who was VERY good friends with someone who worked for the church.

I am sure I have nothing to worry about as it's been over a year, but I can't help but feel very nervous and scared about going back with my girlfriend. What do you think? Do you think I have any reason to be nervous?
