I'm re-posting this as there are new people here. Please give your views.?

Question

10 - You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.

9 - You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the Biblical claim that we were created from dirt.

8 - You laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in a Triune God.

7 - Your face turns purple when you hear of the "atrocities" attributed to Allah, but you don't even flinch when hearing about how God/Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in "Exodus" and ordered the elimination of entire ethnic groups in "Joshua" including women, children, and trees!

6 - You laugh at Hindu beliefs that deify humans, and Greek claims about gods sleeping with women, but you have no problem believing that the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, who then gave birth to a man-god who got killed, came back to life and then ascended into the sky.

5 - You are willing to spend your life looking for little loopholes in the scientifically established age of Earth (few billion years), but you find nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by Bronze Age tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that Earth is a few generations old.

4 - You believe that the entire population of this planet with the exception of those who share your beliefs -- though excluding those in all rival sects - will spend Eternity in an infinite Hell of Suffering. And yet consider your religion the most "tolerant" and "loving."


3 - While modern science, history, geology, biology, and physics have failed to convince you otherwise, some idiot rolling around on the floor speaking in "tongues" may be all the evidence you need to "prove" Christianity.

2 - You define 0.01% as a "high success rate" when it comes to answered prayers. You consider that to be evidence that prayer works. And you think that the remaining 99.99% FAILURE was simply the will of God.

1 - You actually know a lot less than many atheists and agnostics do about the Bible, Christianity, and church history - but still call yourself a Christian.

Answer 1

Heh. Always amusing.

Answer 2

Well I can speak to 7,3,2 and 1 maybe 5.
7.Pharaoh slaughtered the first born of all the Hebrews first,that is how Moses came to be raised in Pharaohs palace.When the land was given to the Hebrews God told them to wipe out the inhabitants(God made them,he does as he likes)they did not.Those left rose up and still war against Israel today.
3.The newer physics studies will bring some answers you may not like.Have patients answers are on the way.(prophesy)
2.God answers my prayers quite often though it is no easier when the answer is no.
1. I doubt you know more of what is in the Bible than me,but if you do,I will study more.As to church history,I know some about many churches but because of that belong to none.
I an Christian.
Oh yeah 5.I don't know how old the earth is or how God created it but answer three may redefine thing a Little.

Answer 3

10-You don't know me to say that I have any emptions towards other religion. I don't get mad when others don't believe as I do. That's immaturity.

9-I wasn't made from dirt. My parents had me. Not offended by ignorance for as evolution especially when no proof is provided otherwise moving on!

8-Never met a polythesit. Can't laugh on that one.Triune =One True God

7-Can't turn purple because I'm a Afro-American.( Brown sugar color) Sin is Sin. Don't blame God for his judgement. God can do want he wants! Look for positive in the bible it will lower ur blood pressure. (Now that's funny)

6-Don't know a hindu nor laugh at one. Greeks gods are myths. What other way could God enter in to this World but only thru power and purity. God is awesome!

5-You don't know me or how I SPEND MY TIME! It's defintely not looking for negativity.

4-Freewill!? Try it! ooh! That's right. You have already chosen ur destiny which is Hell because you chose not to believe. Wow! moving on!

3-Science and etc... hasn't convinced me because they have no proof or evidence to back up their claim. OOPS! Try again!
Speaking in tongues is evidence of Holy Spirit is in a born again believer and there are other evidence besides that such as miracles

2- Prayer does work. Close-minded people prayers will not be answered especially if their motives are not right. My prayers are 100% answered because of my relationship with God. God never fails. Nothing is impossible to God.

1-The pharasees and scribes thought like you,atheist and agnostics and still go there way to hell. They did believe in God! Lastly,You don't know me or what I know. I don't just call myself a christian but a child of God which is more than you can say about ur self. I do know more than you and ur rival sect and that is: You need to get a LIFE!

Answer 4

Your point in this text is well made ( and down right amusing! ), it is worthy of consideration however that no matter the unlikelihood of something the possibility remains. I'm of the opinion that anything that allows the good folk comfort is welcome. We all need to believe, that can be manifest in the belief of Jesus as the son of God, that can be exclusively God, that can be belief in self; very few truly believe in nothing ( Nihilists I guess, but don't they believe in pancakes? ). My opinion is if you find comfort in worshiping a bundle of mud and sticks then by all means do so, it's the idea of trying to get everyone on board that riles me; there isn't one way to the conclusion. Perhaps it is worth pointing out this as well, where ever atheism was central to a governments dogma ( Communist Russia springs to mind and I don't think the Nazi Party were too churchy either ) freedom of expression was eliminated; religious or other wise. I think you'll find that although some Christians are absorbed in zealot frenzy most are kindly, and more to the point they're defending the rights of people who don't agree with them by supporting Democracy. I'm not a Christian but I do believe in God with all my heart and mind for the proof to me is overwhelming, it's my own existence that I doubt; but another venue may best address that. I enjoyed the sub text very much, thank you.

Answer 5

relies upon, a number of them do it only for money and perchance because they need people to sense sorry for them like a Histrionic individual, Alot of the time they're mentally unwell or unemployed, a strong theory is for homeless people to bypass to places with a low unemployment price like do not bypass to l. a. or lengthy island or San Diego bypass to low-value places yet how will u get that help? i'm not the specialist, perhaps the state can help, with any success there compared to Wahh are inhabitants is dropping!

Answer 6

Paul said it better than almost anyone else ever has: "For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men... But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence. " The simple fact of the matter is that Jesus did exist, he performed more miracles than any other man in history, he was 100% right all the time, Maybe his followers screw up now and then, but so what? they are just imperfect humans (like you) who have tapped into the creator and are trying, at least, to get with the "God Program". There is much we do not understand, that is for sure, but this one thing (as Paul said) we do understand is that Jesus was the only perfect man that lived and he still died for the redemption of all mankind. Leaving the ultimate choice, of course, up to them. In Romans chapter two, Paul does explain that God will judge in righteousness even those who have perhaps never heard of him, according to their own hearts... "For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another; In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel." Don't throw out the baby with the bathwater when trying to understand spiritual stuff.... God is not stupid and He does know what he is doing, AND Jesus was the one time he defined himself in human form...

Answer 7

i myself am a christian because i choose to be i do not ridicule or critisise any other reliogions and i do not force my beliefs on anybody else. whe are entitled to our own opinions and beliefs that should be respected by others. do not generalise between all christians not everybody is the same. i have read it and thought about it and yes its rational but i am and always be a christian just like you will always be an atheist. it seems as if you want to force your beliefs on everybody else, not a good idea.

Answer 8

I'm an atheist but I know people who are Christians, who are not bigoted or fanatical, who find comfort from their faith in difficult times, and who are kind to other people regardless of their beliefs.

Take care not to become as judgemental and bigoted as those you despise.

Answer 9

An atheist is a Christian (Jew, Muslim) with one less God.

Answer 10

I'm sensing a lot of hostility. Do you feel that God has wronged you?
