True. I believe what I will,and you believe what you will. And if you want to know more of what I believe, just ask. I try not to insult ones belief. I can disagree and do, and try to be respectful at the same time. But I stand up for My God.

Because the bible tells them so, or so they think it does. I think it's rather funny how the christian version of hell is so different from the Jewish version, even though the Jews have been talking to this particular god a lot longer than the christians and therefore should have a much better grasp of what this particular god established as sheol/hell. The christians version really should be in line with Judaisms, but for some reason it's more in line with certain Pagan and Egyptian versions. How can this be? So far, not a single christian has been able to explain...

They can dish it but can't take it. They just don't want to believe the fact that their God is probably just as fake as the ones they claim as false. I agree with your statement: "you can't prove that the bible was written by god just because the bible says so". The bible was written by man, whether Christians want to believe this or not, therefore is not evidence that their God is true.

You haven't seen a lot of questions posed by atheists telling us that God is imaginary, that we're stupid for believing in Him, that our beliefs are idiotic, etc.
It's not really fair to say it is only the Christians who do this.
HOWEVER:
The Bible was not written by God. It was written by men.
You are definitely right there.
You are correct. You have as much proof as we do. Not one of us can prove anything.....Christians, Muslims, atheists, Jews, etc.
I'm sorry some Christians have treated you that way.
You believe whatever you need to believe, and I will support and respect you in your beliefs.

Reigan my friend,
The answer is obvious. We are just a bunch of Satan worshipping, non-believers who are all hell bound so why would our feeling matter. Just because their bible says "Do onto others, as you would have done to you" why pay attention to that part. No, no, you only follow the parts of the Bible that support your points and anything that indicates you are sinning is easily ignored. (I call it selective sinning) They are Christians, they can't POSSIBLY be sinners. After all we are lucky that they are taking the time to ridicule us. We should be saying thank you.

Christians often can't love one another. Have you heard what the pope recently said? That all non-Roman Catholic Churches are broken? And you hear how certain Evangelical types say that Catholics, mainline Protestants, Mormons and such aren't "real Christians". Expecting tolerence for one who believes in your gods is asking a lot from people who don't often like other people who worship the same God as they do, lol!

I've never said that your god is fake. In fact, I know that he is very real. How? Because there are only two Gods in this world. One is the true, loving, merciful God of heaven and earth who is Alpa and Omega, the beginning and the end. He is Jehovah Jireh ( the Lord who provides). He is Jehovah Rophi ( the Lord who heals), and so much more. The second god is your god. His name is Satan and he rules this world in darkness ( except all who are true Christians). Satan is the master / creator of any and all "religions /gods", outside of Jesus Christ, with the one desire being to lead man away from the Truth so that they will never find Salvation. The Christian God took upon Himself the sins of mankind and He died so that we might live. Yes, non-christians have their gods. But your God did not die to save you. And he wouldn't die for you even if given the choice. But Jesus died for you even though you consistently reject Him.

Well its all belief and we know the truth, we have the answers. Matter of factly in our souls. We are 100% sure.
So, with that being said of course we are going to deny any other Gods... and belief systems. We accept the bible 100%, we do not pick out certain parts of it that appeal to us and leave the rest.... we don't believe in statues of dead folk to pray to and all that sort of makes no sense to us. Just as I guess alot of the bible may not make sense to some others.
Live and let live I guess, but we have every right to deny your God as much as you have the volition to deny the only God and the only way to get to him. It's everyones free right to choose.

Christians, like you, are human and therefore have a nature that wants them to qualify everything; therefore, rejection of their faith is painful. None of wants our thoughts and beliefs to be rejected. Their is also the fact that all Christians desire to proselytize the world, which is not because they want to rule it, but because they want all people to enjoy and love God as a world community. It is true that no Christian can condemn anyone to hell, but we can share the word of God so that all can enjoy the promise of salvation.
