We are called ignorant, brainwashed morons who will follow whatever our pastor says. If we are so ignorant why do the athiests and agnostics keep poking their head into this area and bashing our belief system. It seems like it would be demeaning to them to enter into conversation with us "brainwashed morons". I ahve an idea, Why don't they do what the Jewish leaders did about 2,000 years ago. "Therefore leave these men alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin it will fail. But if it is of God you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourself fighting against God." (Acts 5:39)
If you come to this room looking for a fight you may find one, but be careful who you are fighting against, because the winner won't be declared until our lives are over. What side would you rather be on?

some may be lost and seeking
some may be here to test our faith
some may be here to ask questions that make us search the bible more
some may be here to see if we will stand our ground and remain Faithful to God
some may be here only because they have nowhere else to be where they can feel 'good' about themselves, and making others out to be 'less than themselves' makes them feel 'better'

Hi, I'm a christian, too. I got a very disturbing email this morning. A bill is trying to get passed on the federal level that is called HR1529 - it looks on the surface to be a "hate crimes" bill, but its not. It will state that a police officer can determine what you are thinking. If you hand out a copy of the Bible, it contains passages that are against homosexuality. Since it does, you are guilty of a hate crime. That means that since you handed out the material,you must be thinking about a hate crime, and therefore you are guilty of a hate crime.
If you mug and injure an elderly woman, you will receive 33% LESS JAIL TIME then you would if you hand a Bible to a gay person.
This sounds silly? They are trying to pass it, and it already is in affect on the State level here in Pennsylvania. Two 75 yr old grannys got arrested for handing out bible pamphlets outside of their church. I live in the suburbs of Philadelphia. They were handcuffed, photo'd, fingerprinted, arrested.
They were changed into prison garb and put into general population of the County Prison. They await the possibility of 47 years in prison, each.
This is no joking matter. It means if this bill passes, that a Pastor who gives a sermon in church can be arrested. It means if you raise your kids with Christian morals and values, you will be branded a child abuser,
and your kids taken from you. Again, no laughing matter. This is dead serious.
I ask you to go to: www.christiannewswire.com, and check out the proposed bill: HR1529.
Your freedom of speech and freedom of religion is going bye bye. The gay body will be more special and of more value than
any other person, and this bill is being called the most dangerous bill in America.
As a teacher of Scripture, I fully expect to be arrested just after this bill becomes law, if it passes. Fellow Bible scholars have told me that they have an emergency plan in affect in the event of arrest, for their childrens care. Many have turned over legal custody of their children to other family members due to the probability of arrest.
So you see just how horribly real this is.

Read bill HR1529, and write your senators, please.

Try being an atheist some time... we have no central core belief system so it's nearly impossible to organize so we are fractured and spread out. It's impossible to fight the concept of religion when there is no big concept to oppose it other than "god isn't real."

On top of that, you have wonderful social networks available to you through your faith. Sometimes, I envy that because being an atheist is very lonely and isolating.

I prefer knowing the truth that science and technology presents, but the social aspect... I really miss that.

So stop with the "oh we're so persecuted" crap already. You have the upperhand, you are "winning" (if there is winning to be done) and constantly hearing how persecuted and put upon you are.

I fight the fight because the christians do not leave my children's schools alone, they do not leave my government alone, and they assume that everyone else is christian. At work I have people saying that atheists are a bunch of poor dumb bastards, yet they do not know that I am an atheist and they look up to me. I have great morals, values, am civic minded, volunteer for charitable causes (I'm being "locked up" today for the MDA to raise "bail" for their charity), and I have saved the lives of three people. I am not a "pray-er", I am a "do-er". Our "faith-based" government programs suck the country dry to provide more services and churches to people of christianity. If the churches were to liquidate their assets and donate all of their money to the homeless, people dying of starvation, and to research we would have no children without homes, no empty bellies, and cures for hundreds of diseases while still allowing people to minister christianity on foot. Shoot, if the church did that, I MAY EVEN BELIEVE! :^) Though I see christians as close-minded, I do not think they are less intelligent than I, they are just afraid to look rationally at what has shaped their thinking and how they are a prodcut of that. But I do want them out of my government and schools. And if my pharmacist refuses to fill my daughter's perscriptions, due to his beliefs, if my daughter ever needs any, I'll have to meet with him and have a little fight of our own!

I could care less about what anyone says of my religion. I worship God and thats all there is to it. However with that being said..I see lots of christians on here that are poking fun of atheist as well. So if we respected each others decisions..there would be no problem

That was really good, you are so right on. They call us brainwashed-but it has nothing to do with the brain and everything to do with the Spirit. JESUS is the answer and, I pray for all these souls that come on here looking for an answer by attacking us. GOD BLESS YOU!!!

we win Danielle is a spiritist and says she is Jewish and this is comments between Rachel and me --coments on this subject from message from Rachel.
CLAIMS TO BE JEWISH YET REJECT MOSES AND ISAIAH AND OUR JEWISH MESSIAH WHICH DOES COME FROM THE WORD IN GREEK CRISTOS-MEANING MOSHIACH IN HEBREW MESSIAH IN ENGLISH =THE ANOINTED ONE

Message: Please stop this! If you accept Jesus as your "savior", then you are NOT Jewish!
EXCUSE ME-THERE ARE ATHIEST SOVIET JEWS AND MANY OTHER VARIETIES-THEY DONT EVEN BELIEVE ISAIAH OR MOSES EITHER "THE LIFE OF THE FLESH IS IN THE BLOOD AND I HAVE GIVEN IT TO MAKE ATONEMENT FOR YOUR SOULS." LEVITICUS 17:11 MOSES. ISAIAH SAID "HE WILL BE EXALTED AND MADE VERY HIGH, AND HE WILL BE MARRED MORE THAN ANY MAN AND LAY DOWN HIS LIFE TO MAKE ATONEMENT FOR OUR SINS. HE WILL BE DESPISED AND REJECTED. ALL WE (JEWISH PEOPLE) HAVE GOne ASTRAY AND THE LORD WILL MAKE TO LIGHT ON HIM THE INIQUITIES OF US ALL.. HE WILL DIE WITH THE WICKED AND BE BURRIED WITH THE RICH. Isaiah 52:13-53:12 (predicted 700 bc/bce (era)
You are Christian which means a follower of Christ. I cannot abide Messianic Jews...they are cowards! EXCUSE ME EVEN IF YOU REJECT YESHUA/JESUS ---WHEN MESSIAH COMES IN YOUR IDEAS YOU WILL BE A FOLLOWER OF THE MESSIAH TOO-THAT DOESNT STOP A PERSON FROM BEING JEWISH IN FACT REJECTING THE JEWISH MESSIAH WOULD STOP YOU FROM BEING JEWISH!
I have the right to express my opinion and answer your "posts" without you harrassing me. EXCUSE ME I AM NOT HARASSING HER SHE WRITES THIS TO ME-I WROTE HER AND WISHED HER A GOOD DAY
You are a very disturbed individual who should seek counseling immediately! One day, I expect I'll hear about you going on a shooting rampage. EXCUSE ME MESSIAH TEACHES YOU TO CARE ABOUT EVEN YOUR ENEMIES, WWJD--HOW CAN YOU EVEN THINK SUCH A THING???

WELL ANYWAYS AS YOU CAN SEE WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO CLAIM TO BE JEWISH BUT REJECT MOSES, ISAIAH AND THE MESSIAH-and they say things like this to fellow Jewish peoples like me-so its a good question--I am not sure of the answer--I guess jealousy, blindness -I was against Jesus taught he was a liar and deciever-and fulfilled "He will be despised and rejected." too--so go figure.

I PRAYED HIS WORDS AND BECAME A TRUE JEWISH BELIEVER WITH THE MESSIAH AS MY BEST FRIEND
SPOKEN FROM HEAVEN "I LOVE YOU and knock on your heart door to come in and be your friend, if you repent from sin and ask me in ." Worked for my Yiddish Jewish Bubbie grandma and Zaddi grandpa in Boston too--she told me "David keeps telling our Jewish people about Messiah Yeshua they need Jesus." And I do tell them too!

good question and remember the Messiah wins-if you are on his side some will hate you because they hate him-despise and reject-as predicted

Quit perpetrating the myth that Christians are so horribly persecuted here. You just proved why so many are annoyed with Christians. Thank you!

I cannot understand why, when Christians comprise 79.8% of the U.S. population, they complain so much. So people call you names --BFD! Type Jews or Jewish into the search engine if you want to see ignorance and bigotry and name-calling. "Which side would you rather be on?" What the hell does that mean? Are there only two sides - two sides to what?

People come against Christian beliefs for many different reasons. The ones that come out of hate, contempt and mockery fulfill the words of Jesus Christ who said, "Marvel not if the world hate you. Is the servant greater than his Master? If they hated me they will hate you because you are not of this world even as I am not of this world."

The others who come here are questioning what Christians believe and seeking answers. It is an opportunity to minister to them truth that will give them hope and eternal life.

It is also good that the mockers come because they will help you grow in your faith and learn to handle adversity as our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ did.

When Saul was on the road to Damascus in his pursuit of Christians to jail or kill he was knocked into the dust and then he heard a voice saying to him , "Saul, Saul - why do you persecute me?" Saul asked who was speaking, and Jesus told him "I am Jesus who you persecute."

Christians should remember that as the moon reflects the sun
we are to be mere reflections of Christ. The attacks directed against us by mockers and scorners are not directed against us personally but against Jesus Christ as in the case of Saul.
He was killing Christians, but Jesus took it personally as an attack on Him.

The Bible goes on to say, "Vengenace is mine, I will repay saith the Lord." It is not for us to attack our attackers, but to pity them and pray for them. As with those who crucified Jesus, "THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO!" Have compassion on them - remember that we were all without hope and without Christ until God opened our sinful eyes.
Shall we hate someone because they are physically blind - shall we hate those who are spiritually blind. NO! We are to love our enemies and pray for them that God will have mercy on them.
