I believe annilation and death upon the wicked is more justice because that's what the Bible teaches.

[in response to: What do you think of "Islamic" education being integrated into classrooms?]

THAT, is the stupidest thing I have ever heard of. Teaching children Islamic education... If it's not their religion, why the hell would this be necessary for chidren to know! It's pretty much against the Christian religion to do all of this crap, and I'm sure if Islam is not your religion, it's inappropriate to do these "ritual" type things such as praying to a god that is not your own.

I think all those scientific things are satans work to make believers to stop believing i really dont think there was any dinosaurs because its not in the bible i dont care what kind of bones anyone digs up if its not in the bible than oh well i cant explain it but oh well if any true christians out there can tell me im wrong please do so i am always up for learning

[Question: What is the purpose in saying that atheism is a religion?]

Answer

It sure seems like one. I've never seen a group so rabidly defend their beliefs and ridicule others for not believing the way they do. Atheists have a few "catch phrases" that they all use, even though they put believers down for quoting the Bible. They're all following the guy who coined the phrases "flying spaghetti monster" and "pink unicorn" while believers follow God's word. How is that >really< different?

Don't give me that "because they believe in reality" bit. I believe that God is as real as you and I, so that one doesn't fly with me.

Atheists, do you not know you are playing the very role Satan expects you to play?
God warned us that there would be people that try to hinder our beliefs. Satan is using you as puppets to win his battle with God. It's really kind of ironic because you do not believe in him, yet you are his little helpers. So, as much as you try to separate yourself from religion, you are actually playing a key role. How does that make you feel?

Satanists as neighbors...i really need help here!
my cousins come and stay with me during the summer. they are 11, 14. They came for only a week this summer. last summer they came during the entire summer. now I have some neighbors. they're nice, not overly nice, not rude, just in the middle. last summer my cousin told me that the neighbors had invited them to a ritual that they were doing. I went to my neighbors and asked about it and they flat out told me that they were satanists! I have to say that I have been neighbors with them for 2 years and never knew. It was thanks to my cousins that i knew. i told them that i thought it was uncalled for. they apalogized, and i forbide the kids to go see them. [they have kids of their own, they are really nice kids, so my cousins would hang out with them, i saw nothing wrong until all this happened]. Now that they are here i told them that they could all hang out in the yard and i would supervise. fine. now while i was in the shower the neighbors picked up their kids. when i came out my cousins once more told me that they invited them to a ritual! Now i'm ready to explode!

I don't want to go there right now because i think i'll do something i might regret! why do they keep asking th kids and not me for permission! they are underage! I really want to do something to them!! God! I told them that we are Roman Catohlics and do not do stuff like that! I just want to know how to handle this!

but last summer when i confronted them i told them!!! the only thing my cousins ask [they told me and my neighbors comfirmed] is why do they have a cross upside down.

last summer i told them to stop asking them and if they need to invite the kids to come through me....that really bothers me...why do they go directly to the kids???

I feel bad because their kids are good kids and love to play with my cousins. i didnt want that to interfere with the kids. but now i see no choice!

what my cousins are saying is accurite because i tell my the neighbors "this is what they told me..." and they confirm it

Ok Atheists, don't you find AT ALL the concept of a supreme being like God to be cool?
have you made up your mind to not ever search for an answer other than science? just wondering...I'm not being judgemental, just wondering? Thanks.

[snip]

YOU CAN'T PROVE GOD IS FALSE..that is what bugs most of you doesn't it. That is why you come here , isn't it?

You would rather JUDGE me for my beliefs when you think we are all morons for judging you on yours... TRULY HYPOCRITICAL!

I'm a double major (computer science, physics) with a 160 IQ. I am not particularly religious, but I do enjoy reason and listening to people share their beliefs. I have studied the question of God's existence and human and cosmological origins for years, and I have concluded that God does exist and that the Bible is a book of divine revelation. Listening to atheists and evolutionists has been a major factor in my conclusion that there is a God and that the cosmos is only a few thousand years old.

Critical thinking involves objectively assessing all sides of an argument...all points of view...all lines of reasoning. I am yet to meet an "atheist" (most are actually anti-theists hiding behind a mask of fake non belief) who makes any valid attempt to argue for God's existence. Some try, but they frame the entire argument within atheistic parameters...making the attempt in vain. I am also yet to meet an atheist who applies critical thought to atheism.

In essence, all atheists do is counter argue...making a negative argument of the Bible and any claims of God's existence. While counter argument is a continual subsidiary component of legitimate reason, when employed as an end (i.e. atheism) its patrons reduce themselves to irrational bashers (i.e. atheists).

If atheists would move beyond mere counter argument, into critical thinking, they would find that atheism (actually anti-theism) falls apart. Atheism is filled with contradiction and fallacy.

In short, it would be nice if more people would learn how to reason properly..."atheists" most of all.

[Question: Where can I get a "World's #1 Atheist" hat?]

from the pits of hell! where you, asshole ,come from, you satanic punk!!

Isn't the REAL PROBELM with today's religion is because
of Conservatives vs Liberals???

Most want to think it's theology but if you take *conservatives* from both Christianity and Judaism
Here are a few
1. Dr James Dobson
2. Sean Hannity
3. Billy Graham
4. Glenn Beck- All Christians
JEWS.
1. Michael Medev
2. Joe Lieberman
3. Dennis Prager
4. Michael Savage
They are ALL in agreement on how this country should operate with the Values handed down in Judaim and Christianity and fight the liberal Jews and Secualrists who want to destroy the moral fabric of faith with liberalism...

Do you agree....If we were all conservatives religion wouldn't even be an issue today

Answer to the sarcastic Question:
"If evolution is wrong, then how can we stop it?
We can fight to keep it out of the schools, but how are we going to stop it from actually happening? Maybe we could come up with a way to prevent the errors that randomly occur during the DNA replication process...or whatever."

ANSWER:
"Theres no need to stop something thats not happening. does man have wings? didnt think so."

Why don't atheists want to be Christian when Jesus said His yoke is light?

Matthew 12:30, "For the yoke I will give you is easy, and the load I will put on you is light."

Under the Old Law of Moses, there was so much stuff you had to do to be right that it just wasn't possible. Now the Man Jesus came along and said to follow Him, because all He said was to have only 1 God and Love thy neighbor as thyself, pretty easy no?

So why do some think it's hard to believe that?

Atheists: when you don't believe in god who created all these things on earth then why do you use them?
none of the things have just fallen off or just like that appeared. so if you don't believe in creator then you don't have right to use his created things too

why are you all so aggitated? if you cant answer simple question that means you are afraid of TRUTH.
looks like those who are screaming here cant hide their frustration

science , invention, discovery, computer all these happens due to man having intelligent brain. and that inteligent brain is created by god. so i have every right to use them then you people.

Atheism is belief...its theological narcissism: I am God.

Most atheistic arguments reduce into the statement: God does not exist because I am not God. (Making them God by default)

Followed by this on another thread of his:
If there is no God, then why did Evolution create people who believe in a cruel God? Based on your logic, you should not believe in Evolution either.

Followed by this on another thread of his:
Atheists base their entire argument on the belief that science is truth (which is easily disprovable).

Atheists also defend atheism by pretending that they have no belief and have no faith (both absurd claims).

Atheism is filled with oddities and contradictions (i.e. the claim that the natural world is all there is...if so, then Christianity is valid as an evolutionary mechanism and is governed by the law of causality, same as atheism.)

Most important is the understanding of the complete irrelevance of atheism...if there is no God, then there is no consequence to belief in God. In short: nothing matters.

Why don't atheists think that we're born with bad intentions?
As in, God said that man is evil even from his youth. Well this is true because when kids are little, if you give them something and like their brother or sister or someone comes take it, they get all mad and yell and stuff, and say "it's mine!".

Well, that' evil. so it's so clear that as kids, we're not good by nature, we need to be taught how to be good, it's evil that's "natural" to us.

But why do some atheists seem to not believe this?

Help Christians! I need a quick answer for someone.
She said God is immoral because no loving being could punish anyone forever. That even Hitler isn't that mean.

How do I explain to her that eternal punishment is really justice?

I cant stand how this local atheist station post up signs OUTSIDE of there little building saying "GOD IS PRETEND"
"GOD HATES EVERYONE" and stupid stuff like that pisses me the hell of, do you see us catolics or christians or whatever you may be putting up signs disrespecting you guys beliefs? NO cause were mature! ew thats one thing i cant stand and im not the only one due to this athiest station got EGGED several times.

Science this science that! do athiest know that science can't get them into heavan?

Well right around 16 or 17 they start thinking they know it all, which is the first step towards atheism. If they go to college, heaven help them because they are spoonfed humanism/athiesm and they swallow it down like gullible little chick going after worms. The college professors stroke their ego and take their soul.

then around 30 they realize how foolish they were and begin to come back to God. Life experience is the cure for Atheism

Why do Jews misintrepret the Old Testament so much?
When the Bible says "Gods created the Heavens and the earth" in the original translation, it is clearly referring to the Trinity. Jewish scholars do not agree with this Christian interpretation.

When the Old Testament mentions how Lucifer fell, it is clearly referring to Satan. Jewish scholars disagree with this interpretation of what Lucifer means.

When the Bible tells the story of Job, it clearly shows that Satan is a bad guy working against God. Jewish scholars disagree with this.

When the Bible clearly says in the Old Testament that the messiah will come from a young woman, the original word clearly meant "virgin", yet Jewish scholars disagree with this.

Why do the Jews get it wrong so many times?

Atheism is the child of ignorance and father of crime.

[Question: Why, after all this time, do people still believe that Obama is Muslim?]

Answer:

Because he IS a Muslim. If elected, he plans to destroy America in the name of the great Allah.

He's also a n??igger if you haven't noticed. That alone is enough reason not to support him.

Homosexuality is a bondage from satan and Jesus died so that people can be set free from this bondage. Bob Lawson has a good book about spiritual warfare. You need to find a good, sold Christian that knows how to do spiritual warfare and cast out demons. Pray and ask God to send you to someone that will and can help you. He will.

I had this problem and I was set free by the power of Jesus name. Once the demon is cast out you will feel completely different.

Answer:

What about Dracula? He denied God because God took his true love and look at what a monster he turned out to be.

Science vs. Religion which is true?

Answer : God invented science as a way to test his followers. It's like a challange, if they truly appreciate God, then they will overcome science and say that it's all God's work. You have to have strong faith when science tries to prove things.

God did not make people gay.

(De-)Evolution (Devil-ution) did that so that humans would no longer breed and become extinct. It's called natural deselection

Your question.is silly.

[Question:

[Answer: Can anyone name a bad thing done in the name of atheism?

Selfishness. Believing you are the only power in your life. Putting yourself above God. If there is no God, you are the only thing that matters. What you make of your life is for you, and not for God. The rest of the world is either in your way or there for your amusement. You are the only one with the right answers. Everyones spiritual journey is unique. What God you believe in is irrelevant. The only person who will answer for your life is you.

How would you explain or prove that what you know about the starts are real? How do you know that space itself isn't a grand illusion, have you ever been there? I don't think you have...but you do believe what your told, so that means that Ninja turtles live under new york streets as well... am I being delusional?

All you have is assumption, at least creationists have an understanding, also the earth want created only 6000 years ago, it got a face lift at that time.The earth existed many many years before we had inhabited it, look for "the flood of Satan" on google.

[Question: Why would God prohibit souls in heaven from communicating?]

heaven is a happy place, if people go straight there when they die, and then look down on their relatives crying their hearts out and such,, i dont think they would be so happy (:

oh and another thing..ITS NOT BIBLICAL

(fundie porn!)

Jesus felt every moment of agonizing torture while the men were tearing his back apart with a cat-o'-nine tails (a whip with 9 leather straps with pieces of rock, bone, and other sharp pieces, tied into the straps). He felt every agonizing moment as they pushed a crown consisting of 2-inch thorns into his scalp! He felt every agonizing moment as they literally yanked his beard out! He felt every agonizing moment as nails were hammered into his hands and feet. He felt every agonizing moment as they lifted up the cross and dropped it into the hole in the ground, jarring every bone out of joint! He felt every agonizing moment as his torn up back scraped against the support beam of the rough, wooden cross, with splinters! And he felt every agonizing moment as all the sins of the world were dumped on HIS shoulders, even to the point that God, Himself, had to turn His back on His own Son, that caused Jesus to cry out in extreme agony like nobody else's, "My God, my God! Why have you forsaken me?" And then went into hell, itself, even though He never did anything to deserve it! "The Loving God tasted the essence of Hell!"

[Did God say that earth was the only place He created life?]

(cody) it is conceivable that God created life on other planets but inconceivable that any of them were made in his image. that would mean Jesus would have to go and die on every planet that God created life in his image on.

(hasse_john) It is implied (in Job) that there is other life. Since this is the sin marred blight on the universe, I am sure we are 'Quarantined'

"atheists" like to feign that they are as spiritual as Christians.......which is really just a weak but revealing attempt at being like a Christian while continuing to pretend at not believing in God while also trying to reach the ever elusive goal of TRULY not believing in God—.and then, after all of that, pretending that atheists are not the most obviously conflicted people on the planet.

So for the sake of clarity, there is nothing spiritual about a belief that there is no deity. That kind of childish silliness may work in the group think arena of "atheistland" but nowhere else.

"Atheist" .. Do you believe in the Law of Nature?
If there is a Law then there must be a Law Maker "GOD"!
God is the one who keeps Nature in balance.
Just like Up and Down, Good and Bad, Heaven and Hell!
God the Creator and everything else the created.
The God the King and His servents.
Just like God makes you blink If He wanted to He could make
you Bow. But He gives you time and does not force you to believe in
Him. but you don't want to wait till its too late and you are standing
in front of Him... do you honestly think you will argue with your
creator. When He has full power over your very breath your sight
your thinking your life. Wow man is truly arrogant and ungreatful!

Q:Why do atheists reject human testimony of evidence for God?

A: Bottom line is that it's against their religion to believe in God.

They don't WANT to accept evidence of God, because they don't WANT to believe he exists.

The atheist pretense of looking at evidence, analyzing evidence, making objective decisions...........it's ALL phony.

Yes I would because I trust God.
I just had that talk with my oldest daughter.

if you allow gay marriage, what is the justification for not letting two sisters marry?

If homosexuality were not a choice, then there would be MANY MORE homosexuals than there are.

But it isn't a born-with condition. It is a choice. And it is a sin.

And like all sin, it is forgiven COMPELTELY when the person believes the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is this: The truth is that the only way to be saved and to get into heaven and avoid being sent to eternal hell is by believing that Jesus, who is God, died for our sins on the cross and rose again (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). Believe this and you are saved!

Please pray now: "Jesus, please forgive me of my sins. I believe that You died on the cross for my sins and You rose again. Thank You for eternal life!" You will be in heaven with Him forever when you die :)

Catholicism is not Christianity. Catholicism teaches a false gospel of works that leads to eternal hell (Galatians 1:6-9).

The Bible says we are saved by faith in Jesus without works. The catholics say you need works to be saved.

The difference is the difference between heaven and hell.

Catholicism cannot save, in fact catholicism leads to eternal hell. Only Jesus saves.

The truth is that the only way to be saved and to get into heaven and avoid being sent to eternal hell is by believing that Jesus, who is God, died for our sins on the cross and rose again (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). Believe this and you are saved!

Please pray now: "Jesus, please forgive me of my sins. I believe that You died on the cross for my sins and You rose again. Thank You for eternal life!" You will be in heaven with Him forever when you die :)

Isn't the fact that you can't reproduce a good enough sign that God doesn't want children in your house AT ALL? Why would you adopt a child to raise when your own decision making skills are so defunct?

I had a dream that one of my Christian coworkers was sad and broken hearted inside because he hadn't forgiven someone from his past. I felt that God was trying to communicate with me so I will tell this man and he will get closer to God by forgiving that person. However, I am nervous about it. Should I call him- tell him at work- what should I do to follow God's will in this situation?

Atheists: Will you take a test?
OK, here is a simplified version of the Athiest test.

1. You have to be an Athiest that has said "God does not exist". It doesn't work with agnostics, or a passive Athiest.

2. The most common mistake is you will say "God does not exist". Read the test carefully.

3. How the trick in the test works is by careful self-observation. The result is a observable psychological reaction within you. Its even creepier when you force yourself to do it.

TEST
----

All you have to do is say this out loud, forcably and with conviction:

GOD EXISTS!!!

Then clear your mind and observe your mental and emotional states.
---

The result of this is you will experience a form of observable mental or emotion disonance (ie. a sharp anger, hilarity, a strong apathy). In some people, they can't say it (ie. you accidently say "God does not exist" or your mouth freezes).

Report back, it'll be fun.

Its not a proof that god exists. A little explaination: I've studies magick and demonology. Absolute athiests usually have "familiar spirits". If you do this, it disturbes the spiritual currents that you are attached to. Actually, the results are a lot nastier than I've outlined. However, it will be scientifically instructive to you, I think. Give it about 24 hours, and if you feel like reporting back about anything weird that happened, I think it would be instructive.

To believe in evolution you require more faith. You actually have to bent reality. How is that 'concience' and 'being' came to existance within evolutionary states? i.e.: Bugg flies, sees windshield and thinks "OMG..." splurrrrrr.
