God forgives Hitler because he accepted Christ but sent the Jews that he tortured and killed to burn in hell because they did not accept Christ as their lord and savior......Hmmmmm???

one child began admonishing another child for not saying grace to god.

The other child looked rather bewildered and later came up and asked me what "god" was? How can you answer this, in a secular way. I was stumped.

I told him some people believe in a "god", but I don't think that really helped him. He just didn't get the concept of "god".

What would you have done. Remember this is a public school, and although I am an atheist, I do know what "god" is, but I didn't want to be accused of preaching when the intent was informing...

because we question God daily , why dose he stand by and let children be blown up in conflicts ?. why dose he allow rapists scum of the earth, to abuse children ? why dose he not protect his children (that's us ) from all sorts of illnesses ie cancer, aids, strokes, blindness ,and so on , why do we question God .or is it because we think we can do better,

Well it seems some softywofty hearts can't take a little ribbing so you get deleted and lose 11 points,should they be made to contact you to try to resolve the situation or should they be allowed to chicken out of telling you what they got offended about and you have no say in why you are being censored on YA.

I believe in the right to chose what you believe so long as you dont then try to shove it down someone elses throat or kill them if they disagree..... anyone not fitting this picture would be excluded in my world!!!!!

Do you believe in the actuality/reality of your deity of choice?
or does your deity only represent or symbolize your concept of a higher power?
or do you even make a distinction between a reality and a symbolized concept?

thank you for your well thought out answers.

ok,please tell me how it is that we are suppose to continue to show compassion for those who have never shown us any???

i.e=Ive suffered through death of very close loved ones,seriousl illnesses etc...only to have these people
disregard me,and instead of being supportive,made remarks such as ''oh,get over it ,your not the only one to go through that!!

NOW my question is ..these are the same people who call me complaining and crying because their significant other isnt being nice,or they didnt get the raise they wanted,or their lasagne didnt come out the way they like it??

how AM I suppose to have compassion for these people??
I would really appreciate if you could give an actual example,instead of just quoting scripture!!
I dont mind if you have to quote swcripture,but please also,add your own personal viewpoint!!
thanks to those who help on this one?

Hebrews 12:24 - "And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel."

And how does the blood of Jesus speak differently than the blood of Abel?

I received the following email from a self-styled "minister" who is truly a hater and even declares that it is God's purpose.

" Message: My responsibility in the W_______ church was to go into a church that had been voted closed by the district and be their last chance for revival. I was able to revive 4 out of 5. One had to close. The first thing I did was rid the churches of false doctrine. You use the word hate with impunity, but there is no hatred in keeping the church pure. Christ did not die that His church would ordain gays."

My response to him was that Christ loved all men, never hated anyone, and encouraged brotherly love.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY


(here are at least 15 examples):

http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CB/CB...

and since evolution proceeds by the accumulation of many small scale changes,

if there were no barrier to these small changes, you would expect the changes to give an incredible diversity of living organisms (the way the fossil record shows).

So, what barrier to constant change do you propose?

Or is he this stern, vindictive, smiting Being with a short fuse who WILL punish you and strike you out of Heaven the second you don't do something he wants you to do?


Morgan Freeman's imitation of God in that movie was absolutely nothing like that.

Since Jesus said that he is the way and no man can come unto his father except through him. How can there be any Salvation outside of Christ? Are Good intentions enough?

Do you believe in the Bible? The main reason is because of Revelation 22:18. God says do not add anything to this book yet you have the Book of Mormon, so if you do believe in the Bible that is contradicting your religion.
