Your non faith has just as big a question mark to me as my faith does to you...and...I am not selfish. Why are non believers so radical and a lot of times mean?

True Christians don't criticize others' faith, but accept everyone. Sorry you have encountered such people. Unfortunately, I have encountered similarly disrespectful people who rag on Christians. We should all respect each other. As to Jesus being married, no one knows, and it shouldn't be a big deal, it doesn't change what he taught or the alleged resurrection or taking on humanities sins. How can you expect an absolute answer when it is not part of someones beliefs? Or at least not an integral part. Ask me any question you want and I will answer it honestly. However, being a human being I admit I don't have all the answers, as I hope everyone would admit to. Lastly, you claim Christians are selfish, but then point out they give away 10%. That isnt' that selfish. I sure don't give that much away to help the poor and needy or to keep my church around so they can do those things. I accept everyone and have studied numerous faiths. They are typically all great people if they are abiding by their beliefs.

Well hon, one problem you are having with Christians isn't a Christian thing ... the idol worship also stands for Muslims and Jews, that's a part of Old Testament.
The same holds true for the 10% tithe you mentioned ... we give the money to God to physically show an inward obedience to His command over our money. This is not a Christian thing, it is for any faith that holds the Old Testament as holy.
Also, your claim that Jesus married Mary Magdelene and that she was a prostitute is in so many ways incorrect. There is no indication Jesus ever married, nor is there any real indication that Mary was a prostitute. Most scholars agree that she probably was just having an affair ... which would indicate that she was single and in love with someone, or that she was already married.
As you can see, I do not question my faith as you think I should, but that is my business. And to calling me selfish ... do you even know me? how can you say that about all Christians, when I'm a Christian and we've never met?

You are really lashing as the work of God.not all prophets from God and the bible states that clearly.Jesus was never married.He said,he came not to condemn anybody but to save lost souls.If you offend God he forgives you but if you offend the Holy ghost he won't.If there's a claim,do you find that in the Bible.God won't forgive anyone who add or takes something away from what he says.You feel bad when someone accuses you so why do you make unfounded claims you can't prove?
Christianity is not forced on anybody but for God's judgement,you won't be exempted.The bible states clearly that "No one can escape the judgement of God and No one can face the wrath of God."You can read this from Revelation.If you don't believe pastors and others,you have the bible to find thing out yourself.The devil is using man to change the image of God,but you know what,God is God.

You have seen the bad side of man. Using anything to get what they want. Money, self respect...etc. But, you can't judge them by what you see or hear. They are told to do their charity and prayers in secret, so as not to be made important by others or themselves. You can't see the majority. Everyone is stained. Everyone deserves nothing good. Opinion and what little hx we have shows Jesus as not being tempted. It is told that it is best not to marry. I think He did what is best. He forgave and was looked after by a prostitute. A person who cannot defend or show reasonable commentary on their beliefs, shouldn't try to use those reasons. Gotta be knowledgable before you teach.

Do not lump everyone into your thoughts, Not all Christians feel the way you describe, I am Catholic, I believe in God, and have faith. But that does not mean I put done any other persons religion or their beliefs. And neither should you. My faith is a personnel one with God . And no one should interfere. I have my own Questions and I will Get my answers in time, If you think this is wrong, Your opinion, It keeps me sane and I know that God will always be there for me, where others wont.

There isn't a problem with the marital status of Jesus. Also, not all faiths can be correct. I offer the truth. Do with it as you will. You decide. But one day we will all know the truth.

Don't tell me you believe The DaVinci Code??????? Oh, c'mon!
You are speculating from afar. If you were around Christians more, true Bible thumpers if you may, then you would see the love, peace, joy and compassion that we have.
You are so bitter. It's not fun to be bitter.

First of all, Mary Magdelene was not the wife of Jesus and it is not known to be a fact that she was. Secondly, we are not selfish because we want to share our faith. Yes, telling a person that they are going to Hell is very harsh, I will agree with you there. But most of us just want to share the joy that our faith brings us, if you don't want to hear it, tell them to stop. Most people will be big enough to respect your wishes. Doesn't mean they won't pray for you though. :)

not in case you realize something approximately atheists. Atheists: there is not any evidence for the existence of a god, and significant evidence against the existence of one, extremely the logically inconsistent ones defined with the help of maximum religions. hence, until you instruct otherwise, the only smart place is appearing as though one would not exist. that is not something like faith.
