I'd have to say Islam, some of them would kill us, but all Atheists do is sit on their butts and scream "There is no God! There is no God because science doesn't say there is one!!" Your thoughts?

Today two religious (I shall not say which religion) people came to my door, after a short chat I asked him a question, which he couldn’t answer.
They said they would return after looking into to it.

The question was, why was Adam and Eve allowed to live?
The bible has many stories where God destroyed wicked nations and cities because of disobedience and other reasons.

Why did he not kill Adam and Eve and start again?
Also why did he not then kill Satan and stop sin, then create a new man and woman?

After all sin did start started with the Original Sin, after which people did die of disease and hunger etc etc.

Couldn’t all this not have been prevented?

If this had been done it seems to me a world without sin would be perfect.

She signed up for Bishop Howe Dumami's group study, where the good bishop would shout out to her tumor, "The Power of Christ compels you, be gone!". I don't know why it didn't work. Maybe he didn't shout loud enough. Any ideas?

Allah SWT discribes the protection of the earth and how its is protected by this process to the perfect detail and yet Mr. Van Allen didn't even bother to tell you that he got that information from Muslims. You want more proof ask Steven Hawkings he knows about Jibreal A.s. and the Bang! Ask him!

There are two forms of Agnosticism; 1) Weak – we do not currently have the means and/or information to say whether or not a deity exists, and 2) Strong – we can not in principle ever say whether or not a deity exists.

Atheism also comes in two forms; 1) Strong – there is no deity, and 2) Weak – I lack a belief in a deity, but make no absolute claim (scientific Atheism falls here).

Agnostics of any form have no belief in a deity, and thus Agnosticism is a form of Weak Atheism. So, why do so many here seem to insist that Agnostics are more reasonable than Atheists? They are Atheists!

My friend has been with a Muslim man for a year, and he is the nicest person I have ever met.

I would love to talk to him about his faith but I'm worried about how he will be. I was raised a Catholic but I don't practise now.

To any Muslims out there - do you think I should talk to him about his faith or is there a chance I would cause an upset?

I was reading Zechariah 8 this morning about the girls and boys playing in the streets and very very old people feeling safe to sit in the streets of the streets of Jerusalem.
Do you think this a historical text or a prophecy about our future life?

has anyone successfully converted an agnostic or an atheist? How seriously do you take His directive to spread His word? I myself am an agnostic who continuously searches for answers, and have had many discussions with devout Christians. Although I find some of their beliefs dubious, I cant help but admire the Mormons for their mission of spreading their faith. Giving 2 years of their life (is it 2 years?) of their life to go on a mission, is a sacrifice that speaks to their devotion to their faith.

I'm curious to find out what archaeological evidence has been proven??

This was posted by Father K,

Hardly. The pagan Arabs worshipped the Moon-god Allah by praying toward Mecca several times a day; making a pilgrimage to Mecca; running around the temple of the Moon-god called the Kabah; kissing the black stone; killing an animal in sacrifice to the Moon-god; throwing stones at the devil; fasting for the month which begins and ends with the crescent moon; giving alms to the poor, etc.

The modern Muslim's claim that Allah is the God of the Bible and that Islam arose from the religion of the prophets and apostles **is refuted by solid, overwhelming archeological evidence.**

Islam is nothing more than a revival of the ancient Moon-god cult. It has taken the symbols, the rites, the ceremonies, and even the name of its god from the ancient pagan religion of the Moon-god. As such, it is sheer idolatry and must be rejected by all those who follow the Torah and Gospel

I mean the whole thing in a decent translation by a Muslim (e.g Yusuf Ali)- not just gone to an anti-islamic site and cut and pasted mistranslations. If so which translation? I cant fathom how anyone cannot read the whole Quran and not be awed but its incredible beauty even in English

Unless you have sat down and read the whole Quran you have not right to say you know or to criticise Islam

P.S If you cut and paste verses you have made my point for me. Thanking you in advance.

I notice so many want to package a formula, a+b+c=evangelism.
For some it is "The Way of the Master" approach, convincing people of their sin through asking questions like, "Have you ever in your whole life, lied?"
For others it is through giving aid to the needy and hoping that they will respond to Christ's love showing through us.
For others, they assume that people know their sins, and its our job to tell them God loves them anyway.
For others, it is handing out gospel tracts to every person they meet.
Now, all of these methods have a place... there are some who need to convinced of their sin, others who just need to know that God still loves them, there are those who need to see the Body of Christ at work with the poor before they'll believe. And there are some who just simply have never heard a clear presentation and need to see it laid out in print for them.

So why don't we pray and ask God to show us what THAT person in front of us needs, rather than try to follow the same>>>

Can you also list your religious affiliation in your answer?

I'm curious.

... what would your reaction be like? Something like: God just appears in front of you and does something undeniably God-like.

(If you're an atheist, just use your imagination ^_^)

My reaction would be either:

- Oh yeah! There is a God!

or

- Oh crap... There is a God! (I'm in sooo much trouble...)
