    Questions for Christians

    This entire thread relates to the Christian religion (or church). Check the thread name. Really? I don't remember EVER hearing a single religious leader call for all the wealth and power that they've thieved to be returned to the people from which they stole it. The problem with this...

    Questions for Christians

    "Lets not make these people suffer in the first place. Let's take all the money, wealth and power that we, as a church, stole from others, give it back to the countries we once raped and then concentrate on the apparent essence of what our religion is." If Ratzinger announced this, I would then...

    Questions for Christians

    And I'm saying that when one says "don't worry about the horrendous suffering man has gone through and still goes through... it'll all be justified in the afterlife" it's a greatly immoral, wicked and evil thing to even postulate. The afterlife is a man-made manacle which is used to justify...

    Questions for Christians

    Ryanam It's an unwinnable argument... no matter how much logic and sense I present, white noise will always be the response. Another self absorbed, nonsense, white noise rebuttal. You're using non-proof to debate with and it doesn't work. You've proven my point.

    Questions for Christians

    Thats a bit of a mess but I'll try to respond as best I can. Dictator is the perfect word to use. Children, the poor and everyone else who dedicates their life to this nonsense are instructed on what to believe otherwise they're not doing god's will and will go to hell or whatever heaven isn't...

    Questions for Christians

    Ohhhhhh.... I see now. You're taking that likely mistranslated, nonsensical, probably misunderstood quote from a book with no citation to it's stories (and that's ALL they are) whatsoever, literally. I have to ask... how can you be morally serious when you give such a response? "Don't worry...

    Questions for Christians

    Wow... that's the most ridiculous attempt at combining science with religion I've ever seen. I'm not talking about how many fractions of a minute god 'sees' in comparison to how we see it. I'm talking about the tens of thousands of actual years (that ACTUALLY happened) of human pain and...

    Means nothing to me. Well done... you can string words together in English. A real answer would be appreciated.

    Questions for Christians

    I have a question. There's speculation on how long the human race has been around for (in proven terms). Lets use 100,000 years as it's not far off most theories. Let's not debate this though... the exact period is not important. What's important is that it was a long time. Now, over this...

    What Does Salvation Do For You In The Hear and Now?

    Coming from a human being living in the 21st century, that's a really interesting thing to say. Global warming IS happening. Evolution IS happening. Please... PLEASE... for your own good, read 'The Greatest Show on Earth' by Richard Dawkins. It's not out to bash religion. It simply states...

    What Does Salvation Do For You In The Hear and Now?

    Let's say, for the sake of argument, that you accept Jesus Christ as your lord and savior today, and that you are thus assured of eternal salvation in the afterlife. Does that do anything for you today in the hear and now? Does it reconcile you to your life? Does it give your life meaning and...

    Cant we all just get along?

    I knew, as soon as I'd posted that that you'd correct it. Ok... for your benefit we'll say "otherwise they don't fulfill the requirements of their god and therefore wont go to heaven".

    Cant we all just get along?

    In which case, I ask again again. Is there anything an Athiest CANNOT do, which a theist CAN do which has a positive affect on humanity? Just one thing. That's all I ask. Pilgrimage doesn't have a positive affect on humanity. Tilthe, doesn't have a positive affect on humanity.

    Cant we all just get along?

    And on circumcision... no Atheist would think this up, independently, without the influence of it's true purpose. To stop Jews from going to hell.

    Cant we all just get along?

    Again, inadequate. There's nothing you've mentioned that I PHYSICALLY couldn't do myself. If I woke up one day and fancied a pilgrimage, who is to stop me? Tilthe as I understand it is: A one-tenth part of something, paid as a (usually) voluntary contribution or as a levy or tax-like payment...

    Cant we all just get along?

    It's a very simple statement which requires a very simple, concise reply consisting of a good, decent undertaking which can be done by a religious person and not by an Atheist. Anyone who mutilates the genitalia of their young, religious or not, should be prosecuted in the same way if a fully...

    Cant we all just get along?

    Although I agree with the cultural aspect of these differences, I find it hard to see that religion plays less of a part when, every time I read a newspaper, I see yet more encroachment on modern civilization in the name of religion. People alone can be evil, no doubt. When religion is involved...

    If Jesus died for our sins....

    But you wont respond to those two first statements? How religious of you. I didn't create you but I can judge you if I wish. That's one of the perks of having a free mind. In the same manner that you're judging me towards the end of your post. Lets stop with the judgment though... I'm not...

    If Jesus died for our sins....

    You're suggesting that people have the ability to view the afterlife?
