Like if my girlfriend says, "Does my butt look fat in these jeans?" I think it does but lie and say, "No way!" I don't want to hurt her feelings. So do I go to HELL for lying. Is this even a sin?

I had a problem that... Well lets just say I haven't completely gotten over it yet. But I am making progress! A had a well... lets just say not such a good childhood. I have had to do things very differently than most growing up. I was constantly having to fight. I lived in a home where people where extremely abusive and did nothing but drink and do drugs all the time. I was always afraid. As I became an adult, I had all of this anger. I was mocked all the time at school. As I became an adult, I began to have some serious problems. My grandfather died, My mother died from a drug overdose, I was nearly to the point to where I could handle no more. But every now and then I catch myself feeling guilty. Even though the things that brought about my condition where no fault of my own. I'm doing better, but this is not an easy thing to overcome. Of course it did not help when there where people in the church who where also mocking me. I think now I know why.

How is consensual sexual relations between consenting adults in any way comparable to raping children? If it is comparable than pedophilia would be comparable to any sexual relations, even those between a husband and wife.

What is it about this particular religion that makes it so special compared to all the others? Why is the God of the Bible the only god that exists? Why is the Bible the only religious book that is true?

I'm curious.

If God created us, which I believe He did, why would he make it so humans crave sex even before they are married.

"Your forgetting that sex wasn't originally thought of as a sin. There is a difference between what the Bible says and what is truth. The Bible was written by men. Ergo, alot of the stuff what adjusted to fit the times. Thus, sex, a perfectly natural act, became a sin." (this was taken from another site, someone else wrote this)
heb 13:4. Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
I dont get how people use this quote to back up the sex is sin because adultry means "voluntary sexual intercourse between a married person and someone other than his or her lawful spouse"It makes no sense to me. Did God even specifically say it was a sin to have sex before marriage or did a bunch of people writing the bible think it was a good idea?
If someone does have sex before marriage, does that mean that they will burn in hel

Aside from belief of Original sin, do you personally feel evil deep down? If so, do you think you are as bad as Hitler or Bin Laden?

The Highland minister wound up his services one morning by saying, " Next Sunday I am going to preach on the subject of liars. In preparation for my sermon, I should like you all to read the 17th Chapter of Mark."
On the following Sunday, the minister rose to begin, and said," Now then, all of you who have read the 17th Chapter of Mark, please raise your hands. " Nearly every hand in the small congregation went up. Then said the minister, " You are the very people I want to talk to. There is no 17th Chapter of Mark ! "

Not to be offensive, but were just a complex organism with the same DNA as mice... just more brain cells and apposable thumbs. What is the rationale for being an atheist: knowing that we weren't created by a supreme power that judges us but rather a product of organic compounds evolving over billions of years, or being religous: knowing we were created by a supreme power that judges us? Why aren't more people riding the fence on the topic?

I suck at science. I'm spending most of my free time reading science books, but I'm afraid it does nothing for me. Do you think Richard Dawkins (pbuh) approves of atheists who are not good in this field? All I want him is to be proud of me.

I don't want to be a bad atheist. Am I going to suffer in the Ignohell if I don't keep trying harder?

Judaism were to create a religious sect that called itself the real Christianity because it rejected worship of and through Jesus but brought people to "fulfilled Christianity" through living in the same belief that Jesus followed.

We could show them how they honor Christianity by seeing Jesus as a fully human man who hoped to do the job of messiah but failed.
They could not celebrate Easter because it is is adapted Astarte/Isis fertility goddess worship and the celebration of the "rebirth" of Adonis/Tammuz bringing spring, where offerings of eggs and things associated with fecundity were given to placate those pagan deities. So to best honor Christianity and the faith of Jesus, they would have to eschew Easter and any attempt to believe that he was resurrected. That way they would be the REAL and "fulfilled" Christians.
Jews won't do this absurd thing, but would it make Christians see how wrong it is to call Christianity Judaism? It should offend good Christians, too. Shalom.
