I never really assumed that ALL Christians are hypocrites but many are. You're going to have that in any religion. But IMHO' date=' as wonderful as Christianity may be, I'm not going to believe in something that's [i']widely used by people[/i] for corruption, to make money, to start wars, and instigate intolerence and ignorance.
I know that these people are the exception, not the rule, but this minority of corrupt Christians get all the attention from the media and the world. Benny Henn and other magical healers, the Trinity broadcasting channel, Popes, ministers, and priests, the list goes on. I could be Christian and ignore these people, but it just wouldn't sit well with me.
We don't just ignore them, but we don't associate with them.

I dont believe in ***, because in my opinion, *** is just some fictional person, who people made up just to feel more secure, more at ease, believing that there is somebody in control of their life and it makes them feel safer, thinking that there will always be somebody with them. To me, *** and religion is not based to facts, only based on faith, and to me, if there is no evidence to support the claim, I do not believe that it exists.

Except that there's more evidence supporting it than there is denying it....

but honestly, our minds are not complex enough to truely understand evolution and how we humans were formed, so dont you think that in a way, people could not find the answer to how we were formed, thus, used *** as the answer? By saying that *** was their creator, they would have felt at ease, thinking that they understood how they were formed. By doing this, they had not truely found an answer, just more of an excuse.

No' date=' there's no difference there. Santa Claus? Easter Bunny? I think the difference is wether you believe in ***, or if you Believe ***.[/quote']

yes. there is a difference.

just because someone believes that *** is real doesnt mean that they automatically place their full trust in Him. it doesnt mean they give everything over to Him to lead their life. it just means they know He's there, but they dont care. they don't follow Him.

EDIT: oh, and honestly, if the Bible and *** was proven, there would be no Christianity. because Christianity is about having Faith. living a life of believing, but not seeing. if we KNEW it was out there, why would we need to believe IN it?

there's a bracelet right in front of me. i dont need to put my trust in it to know it's there.

The mere thought of an omnipotent creature that does not make itself known to shatter all doubt, let alone do many other things is a farce and a play on words.

You say Christ walked ON water? I say he walked BY water. Look at that, I changed two letters and completely changed the context.

The slab Christ was laid on was DNA and Carbon 14 dating tested and it showed that it was only 1400 years old, not 2000.

The Bible was written waaaaaay after a written language was established. You try to keep the same story straight for a hundred generations and see how good it is when you only voice it. Imagine a really long game of telephone.

*** can not be proven, shown, demonstrated, pointed out, put in a test tube, seen, heard, felt, touched or interacted with. Where I come from such a thing is a "figment of your imagination."

To me, *** and everything associated with a *** is a crutch for sinners. *** will save me, I may have slaughter thousands of people, but *** loves me so I will go to heaven. Lame.

You show me 1 single, solitary tangible piece of proof *** exists, and I can show you 100 that he does not. You may hate science, fact, logic and everything I can put before your eyes, but the war on how real it all is has raged on for centuries and it is a losing battle for the Church.

Priests are pedophiles, Chinese cardinals are being impeached, there in murders being cimmitted in ***'s name everyday, no cures are being found, no wars are being solved, no famines are being stopped, world peave is still impossible, people are losing faith, patience, respect and care, and for the most part, it ****** the *** community off.

If I have offended anyone, suck it up. I am not the first to say it, I will not be the last. It is a long debated battle, and at the end of the day, all the "evidence" you have is hearsay and the testimony of infidels and criminals.

I had a big long reply to this, but I accidentally hit the back button... sorry... I'll edit this post tomorrow, I'm too tired to do it now.

The Bracelet didn't create life though.

Might as well add, that whoever posted above me.... come up with something new. Like I haven't heard all of that a bazillino times and can't just lazily knock it aside with one hand while taking a drink with the other.

I don't believe in any ***. I'm labled as Mormon, which is one of the strongeset religions to follow '***'s Will', and I hate the lable, I'M NOT. My mom is and I live in Utah, of the US. The founders of Utah were all 'Mormon' and the percent of Mormon's just dropped to 49% this year. 49% of the people in my state are Mormon. I honestly don't like most Mormons, most are judgmental and cruel, and they spread gossip fast than rabbits repopulate!

Back to the main point... I agree with Mad4lp. Any *** is a myth (you[/y] spelled it wrong...).

 


Everything has a logical explanation, except how the universe was first created, but even I don't care to spend my time doing that. I watched a video about how the first life forms were made by atoms randomly conecting and eventually the lifeforms became more complex, I DO believe humans evolded from other life forms.



Other than the few things that no body can prove, there is no proof of ***.



So until *** shows up at my door and punches me in the face for not believing, I won't.

Right... The Bible says even the demons believe in ***. But you might look at that like the tooth fairy believing in Santa Claus, wouldn't you?

And for your second paragraph, there, I don't think you know what Faith means... The Disciples sat there and watched Jesus teach, die, and resurrect himself. Woulld you say they require faith? Well, they had it. They knew it was going to happen, he told them constantly. I think there would be more Christians if it was all proven. Because then people would know that it's imperative to Accept Christ if you want eternal life.

NOw then... let's see...

Well look, I can take an M out of the word Mormon and make it say Moron. Who cares?

Carbon Dating? Yeah, that's effective. A Scientist carbon dated a potato he grew and it came back fifteen billion years old. I think your argument is invalid.

Well you can't prove someone else's thoughts and experiences either. I guess you're saying that every human is a liar, and isn't capable of being trusted? Well, then you'll have to trust in a Higher Being than humans, won't you?

To me, *** and everything associated with a *** is a crutch for sinners. *** will save me, I may have slaughter thousands of people, but *** loves me so I will go to heaven. Lame.

1. You're putting the faults of a few misguided individuals on the whole church? That's not right. At all. And it's not ***'s Fault either. And it makes no sense that that should make you want to not believe in ***. That's their personal choice. Not ***'s. If you think that how these people (people are sinful, immoral) act is a reflection on *** (who is sinless, moral), then you're just.... wow....

How did the atoms get there? You can't say they were always there, because that's why you don't believe in ***.

Lady Wisdom

20-21 Lady Wisdom goes out in the street and shouts.

At the town center she makes her speech.

In the middle of the traffic she takes her stand.

At the busiest corner she calls out:

22-24 "Simpletons! How long will you wallow in ignorance?

Cynics! How long will you feed your cynicism?

Idiots! How long will you refuse to learn?

About face! I can revise your life.

Look, I'm ready to pour out my spirit on you;

I'm ready to tell you all I know.

As it is, I've called, but you've turned a deaf ear;

I've reached out to you, but you've ignored me.

25-28 "Since you laugh at my counsel

and make a joke of my advice,

How can I take you seriously?

I'll turn the tables and joke about your troubles!

What if the roof falls in,

and your whole life goes to pieces?

What if catastrophe strikes and there's nothing

to show for your life but rubble and ashes?

You'll need me then. You'll call for me, but don't expect

an answer.

No matter how hard you look, you won't find me.

29-33 "Because you hated Knowledge

and had nothing to do with the Fear-of-***,

Because you wouldn't take my advice

and brushed aside all my offers to train you,

Well, you've made your bed—now lie in it;

you wanted your own way—now, how do you like it?

Don't you see what happens, you simpletons, you idiots?

Carelessness kills; complacency is murder.

First pay attention to me, and then relax.

Now you can take it easy—you're in good hands."

Do you have any article to this? Or anything besides your verbal consent? Not that I don't trust you, of course.

http://www.arkdiscovery.com/noah's_ark.htm
That source just seems so reliable... Makes me want to book a tourist visit, no?

I have a question though. Can you prove *** exists without referring to the past tense? *** is here today isn't he? And we obviously exist now as well. Therefore, in your point of view, we co-exist with ***. You "proved" ***'s existence thousands of years ago, but can you prove his existence now without using the Bible or David 6:9 or past references as a "crutch"

No retarded banana **** though.

They found the front page of the bible and it said 'The charecters and stories portraied in this book are entirley fictonal and any resmemblence to any living person or any event is purley coincidental'

Of course that isnt true but I could see the lack of lawsuits back there meant the was no need. Some nut took up the book and took it seriously is the any proof against this theory? No is the any proof that its true? no. But what about people that think the Da Vinci code is real the lack of media and brains being smaller back then (yes human brains have grown im not being naive' tell me it aint bull. :)

I'd rather not fight.

That is a piece of ****. Most of my family are Morman's and they are all kind, compastionate people. I was raised Morman in fact. You don't see me doing any of those things here do you? You might saying I'm being judgemental right now, but so are you. So, before you condem people for what they believe pull your head out of your *** and get some fresh air.


 


Back on topic- No, I don't believe in ***. I'm agnostic but in the pure sense of the word, without knowlage. If someone is agnostic it doesn't alway mean that they are 'searching' for ***, it simply means they are withour knowlage.

I trust myself. It is all I need.

*** isn't a crutch. A lot of people think that, but it's really not. You, a nonChristian think that you know what Christianity is, but you don't. That is what's lame.

I was born into Christianity. But unlike most Christians, I have devoted my time to understanding all religions. Ghandi did too. Wise man. I would surprise you with what I know about Christianity.

http://www.arkdiscovery.com/noah's_ark.htm

Good for you. A website. Where do I buy tickets?

1. You're putting the faults of a few misguided individuals on the whole church? That's not right. At all. And it's not ***'s Fault either.

NOT ***'s fault? You, a Christian says he has the power to do anything, why not prevent it?

2. We aren't getting ****** off.

I think you are. You just hide it with big words, heresay and websites.

No, you suck it up. Suck up your pride and bilding arrogance...

Arrogance? ME? Never been accused of THAT before...

Read the original book or Genesis. It references MANY gods, aliens, giants and other unholy things. Things which you Christian types tend to like to think does not exist. I would point out also that Christ was Jewish, why are Christians so apt to forget that? Or that it was Roman Catholics that are descendants of the men who crucified him? Did the Da Vinci Code hit a little too close to home for you? Are low numbers of church goers getting to you? Are lack of people paying the Church affecting your pride?

Did you know what the Church did in the Dark Ages? It RE-WROTE history to suit ITS benefit. History is always written by the dominant culture. Whoever Christianity could not convert, they killed. THAT is documented and proven. I would also point out that the Church funded the government, and in turn, the government made people seek absolution from the church (i.e. money).

Did you know the actual Bible was edited? Prior to 1800, the Bible had references to reincarnation. But what power mongering Church wants it's paying pew people NOT giving them money? People believed if they got it wrong, they were reincarnated to do it over. Think about it.

And how perfect is a *** to have rebels? Would he not be perfect at keeping his followers happy? Or being perfect at persuading them to not be disgruntled? Why does Lucifer, the devil, exist then?

Arguement of evil:

Is *** all powerful?

Is *** all knowing?

Is *** perfectly benevolent?

If *** is all powerful, why does evil exist, why does he not banish it?

If *** is all knowing, why does he not know of evils plan and pre-empt them?

If *** is perfectly benevolent, why does he allow his children to suffer?

Put that in your peace pipe and smoke it.

Done,

~MK

Yep, written by the same people who thought the world was flat, the Earth was the center of the universe, and that dark spirits caused disease and famine.

But I think it's a little unfair to ask all the "Why nots" to Ref, he's not a priest or anything. I only have a single why question to anyone who is Christian because I just want to know. Why is there only proof of *** in the past? When you guys contradict us and prove ***'s existence, everything refers back to the Bible and what happened thousands of years ago. Just prove that he exists now.
