Christians. You might try to be specific as to YOUR god when speaking and thereby you will not sound quite so foolish.
Whereas nothing fails like prayer, go ahead, pray for me if it makes You feel better.

I welcome death, I fear no god nor ghost
2006-08-28 07:15:43 · update #1
"So rather than be just another mindless religious robot, mindlessly and
aimlessly and blindly believing that all of this is in the hands of some
spooky incompetent father figure who doesn't give a ****, I decided to look
around for something else to worship. Something I could really count on.
And immediately, I thought of the sun. Happened like that. Overnight I became
a sun-worshipper. Well, not overnight, you can't see the sun at night. But
first thing the next morning, I became a sun-worshipper. Several reasons.
First of all, I can see the sun, okay? Unlike some other gods I could
mention, I can actually see the sun. I'm big on that. If I can see something,
I don't know, it kind of helps the credibility along, you know? So everyday I
can see the sun, as it gives me everything I need; heat, light, food, flowers
in the park, reflections on the lake, an occasional skin cancer, but hey. At
least there are no crucifixions, and we're not setting people on fire simply
because they don't agree with us.
Sun worship is fairly simple. There's no mystery, no miracles, no pageantry,
no one asks for money, there are no songs to learn, and we don't have a
special building where we all gather once a week to compare clothing. And the
best thing about the sun, it never tells me I'm unworthy. Doesn't tell me I'm
a bad person who needs to be saved. Hasn't said an unkind word. Treats me
fine. So, I worship the sun. But, I don't pray to the sun. Know why? I
wouldn't presume on our friendship. It's not polite. "

Actually, Christians use dozens, if not hundreds of different words for God.
(1) Not all Christians are English-speaking.
(2) One can use nicknames for God, such as the Almighty, or Providence.
What Christians (and most non-Christian Western religious philosophers) do is to insist that the word "God" and the word "god" mean different things.

The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ...THAT GOD. The only True and Living God... believing, experiencing and knowing Him to be so and trying to wake up the dead in spirit, is a labor of Love. Sorry you see it the way you do, but that is the language of death, so we listen and do pray for you.

Are you severe? The bible is God's be conscious or maybe if and once you're asserting "properly do no longer basically study that reason it won't make experience study the coed's writing too" then you definately're asserting the bible won't make experience and you will possibly desire to no longer might desire to study any pupil's writing's to understand the bible. The bible is meant to be the words to stay by using and in case you will possibly desire to further comprehend it with scholars writing's then you definately recognize on your heart the bible is organic crap.

Why do some call Christians "Xians", or are you talking about something else?
I would suggets you do some more searching.
But you are free to worship as you wish, God gave you free will.
Peace!

Why would you fear your best friend?
Ps. Judy, the last time I checked we were blowing people up in several countries. Just because they finally got gwb to stop calling it a crusade does not mean that it isn't.

Calm down and prove to us that what you believe is anything better than a parasitical excuse to be angry.
