Honestly, some of the most horrible people I know repent to Jesus and are supposed to be forgiving. The believe he is real and ask for forgiveness to be saved from Hell, etc.

Don't you see a flaw here. People who are horrible, corrupt, gain wealth off of the less fortunate. These people will be supposedly saved from eternity from Hell simply because they believe.

According to the multitude they will be saved regardless if they are rotten people. How can this be?

My Father in law, a prime example. He molested his daughters sold false silver mines to people, killed innocents, took advantage of people whenever he could. He left my wife and his family to survive on their own. Gambled away their house. Towards the tail end of his live he asks for forgiveness from Jesus and he goes to heaven. Don't you see the flaw in this?

Myself, not perfect but not intentionally hurting people. Not trying to harm anything will go to hell for eternity because I can not make that connectio

Christmas is Jesus's Birthday. That is the whole meaning of Christmas. But when Jesus was alive on Earth, say from year 01 to 33, did they (Mary, Joseph...) celebrate His birthday, or as we call it today, Christmas ? Happy Xmass to you all.

I want to know how God serve Justice to other people who are non-Christians if their Christian neighbors have been unfair to them.

Did it start on such a large scale with Jews/Christians, or was it present before?

If I was in any muslim/jewish country, I would celebrate their religious holidays (apart from fasting, but I would do the big meal/party at the end)
I've done thanksgiving, diwali and dasara, hogmonay, st.patricks and even burn's night.
not having a tree/turkey/presents is like cutting your nose off to spite your face.
why dont they join in? its the national tradition. It comes across as rude.

what about the people who got affected of the consequences of sins committed? like for example, the "repentant" spread lies and made up stories about another person that ruined that person's reputation, would God overlook that consequence in favor of that "sinner" who damaged that person's name?

how does God serve Justice to ALL people equally, regardless of their beliefs?

I am curious, if you don't believe in the existance of god, How do you think the Universe came to be? I know, the Big Bang, I believe that theory to. But with out a higher power, that could not have happened. How about life. How did it all start and how is it we are able to still exist and evolve? Why did all the planets line up around the sun like they did in the solar system with out a god to guide them into place?
The theorys don't make sense with out a god.
Keep this in mind to: If you live your life and believe in god, but you die and he does not exist, you have lost nothing. However, if you live life believing he does not exist and die and see that he does, you have lost every thing! Now you will burn in Hell forever!
If you don't believe in god, you better hope to HELL you are right! If you don't believe, then please don't celebrate Christmas, Easter, Chaunaka or any other religious hollidays!!

In the on-going arguments between believers and nonbelievers, the nonbelievers consistently bring up the issue of burden of proof, e.g. "prove that your God exists" or "there is no more proof of your God than there is of Santa".

But D.T. Niles defined evangelism as “ just one beggar telling another beggar where to find bread.” There is no debate here. If the other person doesn't want the bread, then no amount of argument will suffice.

The debate that might concern the question of burden of proof will properly be taken up by our Creator if He exists. Are unbelievers really just developing a defense strategy just in case they come face to face with their Creator the day they die?

For example:
You are stranded alone with complete strangers on a deserted island. Immediately leaders come forward and start spouting their beliefs (which you do not normally subscribe to) to everyone. The leaders are very charismatic and soon almost everyone is following them. Would you follow too? Do you think you would be able to keep from being swayed by them? What would make you different from the other castaways?

In the early Catholic church, the church was face with a problem of losing their vast cumulative wealth to inheritance. To prevent losing land and wealth to inheritance, the Church imposed celibacy.

The result was centuries of systematic sex crimes behind the curtain. Many old literature commonly shows priests having bastand children. With the mondern technology, no longer these cover ups were easy for the Church; thus, number of new and young priests has dropped and the Catholic church faces great danger of diminishing number of priests as old priests die and no young priests able to handle real celibat life.
