Why the fuck would I believe in an all powerful God who damned all of humanity into a lake of fire for a fucking fruit?...- and get this.. he needed to make his own son(or himself, as defined by many christian religions) a sacrifice for himself just to save humanity? The fuck..? seriously ppl, this is not rocket science, it's not that hard.
There are no eyewitness accounts of this alleged Jesus. The crucifixion stories contradict one another. Herod died ten years before Quirinius, yet the nt has them as contemporaries.
The christian crucifixion myth is no different than the other myths of the time: man born of a virgin, man has message, man dies (usually on top of a hill), man comes back to life.
jack its not that all of us ignorant atheists dont get it we do. its just that you where raised to believe it without any evidence. its the same sad story that has exsisted throughout history. 12 guys following one dude that claimed he is the son of god. its a sad story that has repeated itself over and over again. google it. you have this vast librairy of facts and yet you refuse to use it. Its not hard. google it. You seem to be a bright person but you are a liar.
@phillozoph50 You dont have any facts about God's NON EXISTENCE and have no facts to fill in the whole He leaves if He didnt exist (how the universe was created, how we were created, I can list them all day)
@hellohamza2 I don't need to give you a facts about his non existence.YOU have to give ME facts about his existence.BUT,if you had an evidence for God's existence,you are loosing your FAITH,because you don't need faith to accept that something is real.Religion is based on faith.With facts,there's no faith.Without faith,there's no religion.
@phillozoph50 Well I cant give facts but its common sense AND logical to read the Quran and know God exists. That is why I believe in God. You know how scientists are just now discovering that the universe is flat? Mentioned in the Quran 1400 yrs ago. The universe is expanding? Also mentioned in the Quran. Iron did not originate on Earth? Mentioned in the Quran. Now how were those things in the Quran but we are only finding out about them now? Did a 'deranged peadophile' make it up? NO.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@CarlosMarti123 That's what they want.Kindergarten.Children.Because it's fucking easy to lie to a children.That's why they're trying to produce ''born again'' christians.To be born again means to be a child again.I don't care if my comments are immature to you,because your whole religion and ideology is immature to me.
@phillozoph50 stfu your an annoying pissed off 10 year old ranting on the internet like you matter or are worth a shit. If you don't have any facts or reason to prove that this religion is bad stfu and let people with opinions and facts speak you ignorant little child
@phillozoph50 I only listen to arguments when they provide facts, all you do is curse and say hateful words. Congratulations on dropping out of highschool!
I use to be a Christian, 5 years ago I suffered a disease, I go home from school everday crying and fasting for god. You guys dont have any idea how fucked up my face looked like because of the disease, the torments the . After 5 years, i didnt recieve a single answer. Suprisingly I still believe after a few years, but my faith already took a hit from that brutally horror expirience. One day, after thinking it through, what did god did to me? I tried so hard and cant answer it. I'm now atheist.
@3dimensionalJoe I think what is worse is what you did to yourself. God is not cruel and He does not always give us what we desire. We suffer and we have many heartaches but if we persevere and continue in faith there comes a time when all become clear, the sun starts shining. A tree is nothing without wind, a salmon is nothing without the currents that encourages it to swim faster and grow stronger. A cure is not always being miraculously healed, sometimes it comes in the form of courage.
@llewellleo That's what I hate about religion, christianity itself have 33,000 different interpretation. That's yours, and your gonna point and somebody else and their wrong. I fucking hate that, to all of you guys grow up. After me quiting religion, I see the world rationaly. I'm free of the freaking dogma and delusion. And suprisingly I noticed that the greatest people I know are atheist, and the greatest scams are con mans(pastors).
jesus lord above ,this guy is a weirdo - got norway colinbine virginia tech written on his fucked up forehead - turn this fuck in to the proper churchyard , sicko needs to seek help
So what you did is picking what you want to believe in.. what everything else the bible said. and second no facts can back it up, just open your mind and eyes already
According to prophet muhammed Allah is the one tue God. Why should I take Christ's word when I just as well can take prophet Muhammed's word and believe is the muslim doctrine? Has the thought never occured to you that you most likely would have been a muslim if you had been born in Iraq,Iran,Afganistan etc?
However, if one must accept Jesus to be saved, doesn't that mean that all of the American Indians are all in hell who didn't believe in Jesus prior to being virtually wiped out and then indoctrinated by Europeans.
@Dkenair2 One, its Affect,and two, considering the fact that the actual event of his death was over 1000 yrs ago, it's time to move on. We don't still hear people whining about the Bubonic Plague. Three, it doesn't HAVE to affect them, considering they never met him and had no contact with him. It's their choice. As I would say to a long term drug addict and any other person addicted long term to something detrimental just because it gives them temporary relief , seek therapy and get over it.
@thezebrastripe89 But nobody in the Bubonic plague died for our sins. Jesus Christ did. Thus affecting us today. ( thanks for the correction.) "As I would say to a long term drug addict" That's the difference between Jesus Christ's love and drugs. One last for however many hours you are under the influence, the other gives me "relief" for an eternity.
@Dkenair2 Jesus didn't die for your sins. He died because he was hung on a cross for days. He didn't come back to life. He's dead. Pardon the reality, I know it's hard to take. I wouldn't call the son of god or part of god or whatever he supposedly thought he was a loving person. Same with your god. The most unloving, judgmental and hateful thing ever invented by homo sapiens. You can bible thump your way to the gave, and pray for me all you want, but when you die nothing happens, the end :)
@thezebrastripe89 No sir, your explaining how he died, not why. "Pardon the reality" No problem bro, consider your ignorance pardoned. "The most unloving, judgmental and hateful thing ever invented by homo sapiens." *Yawn. Same ole accusations with nothing to stand on other than the common atheist's misinterpretation of the bible. Could you at least try to be original?
@Dkenair2 Yes, my ignorance of your imaginary friend is already pardoned, I pardoned it myself. I love when you people think that there is some sort of "context" to the bible. "You're taking it out of context" "You're interpreting it wrong". I guess I must have missed the bible amendment that said "This is only relevant for our time" and the one that says "Interpret as you wish". Nice try, but fail.
@thezebrastripe89 "I love when you people think that there is some sort of "context" to the bible." And I love when people like you don't. "Interpret as you wish" But isn't that why you probably do?
@TogetherForPeace Great. But why not just recite some stuff from, say, Lord of The Rings, which was written by J.R.R. Tolkien? He was a real man too, and he wrote some good stories.
@TogetherForPeace wow. that's an extraordinary claim. I assume you've put it on Youtube so that others might also accept it as factual. Any chance of embellishing this extraordinary claim some extraordinary evidence so we can stop thinking it's nonsense?
@TogetherForPeace Yes it was fictitious. Not fictitious for him? Absolute nonsense. When a fallible human makes note of an account, you weigh it up with the now known and infallible, constant laws of the universe. If his account falls short, in fact it falls way short, he is either mistaken, confused, or lying.
If he even existed, then a light in the sky, talking to him, is probably just those pesky aliens posing as gods to try to guide humanity then, lmao! Good job they did there then
@TogetherForPeace Why would it need to be considered fictitious by you? The truth doesn't require your approval. Just because Paul didn't think they were fictitious doesn't mean they aren't. Muhammad didn't think the Koran was fictitious, but does it mean the Koran is the truth? No.
@TogetherForPeace I dont get why they call Jesus the son of God because he might have not had a father but I dont understand why they give that title when also Adam didn't have a father or mother in that case Adam he is more deserving of the title "son of God"
"Fictitious for him"? What the fuck does that even mean? There is one reality, that we all share. Would you say the death that results from jumping off the Sears Tower is "fictitious for you"? If so, please demonstrate this immediately. Rube.
@ezyroller: Paul did not write this as fiction. As a matter of fact, 1 Cor. 15:1-4 is an early creed. He was quoting it. It is a FACT Paul existed. It is a FACT he write this as history. The same applies to what he wrote in Galatians. The same applies to what John wrote in 1 John 1. The writers of the N.T. are making historical claims. Truth claims. To simply dismiss it as fiction and myth is just ignorant and absurd. You may not like it, but dismissing it is not an argument.
@theocratickingdom30@theocratickingdom30 so there's no extraordinary evidence to support the supernatural stuff, and I'm ignorant for dismissing this as fiction? I do actually like this story - it has some nice ideas in it and there's plenty of creativity, but you see when you make these claims and you cannot support them with evidence, the story stays a story and you look like someone who claims to know the unknowable. Again, don't confuse what makes you feel good with what is true.
@ezyroller: The false appeal to neutrality. Do you know anything about Christianity? Because at the moment, it just looks like your parroting atheist site.
@theocratickingdom30 My request for evidence may echo those you dislike (atheists), but that doesn't mean evidence isn't needed when you make an outrageous claim (and again, feel free to front with something to help me believe). Like many atheists I was raised in Christian family so I know a lot about it, but it's knowledge about myths and lies peddled for political, economic and social power. Believe what you want, but present it as truth and we will ask for evidence. So, in your own time.
@ezyroller well then i ask you... present for me hard, tangible, evidence of the big bang theory, for i have studied science and i know it is taught as fact, but when you look at scientific evidence, there is more evidence for spontaneous creation than there is of the HYPOTHESIS of evolution. Charles Darwin did not prove evolution to be true, he just explained the diversity within a species. the same science has been reproduced in cats, dogs and rodents, but cats still give birth to cats etc.
@sezjredeemed That's a nice Red Herring you've cooked up there, but... ever heard of Occam's Razor? You're talking about a choice between one theory which relies on natural systems we can observe and test and another which relies on supernatural forces very poorly described in a bronze-age book about mass murder and ritual sacrifice. Is it that hard to make a sensible choice between them? Anyway, you're dodging your burden of proof with God/Jesus/even-babies-go-to heaven thang. Why?
According to statistics done by Greg S. Paul, about half of all humans born have died as children, before they even had the cognitive capacity to truly understand the Christian myth and to choose whether or not they "accepted" Jesus. God/Jesus obviously doesn't care about human life and/or humans' ability to make (supposedly) the most important decision that ultimately leads to one's eternal fate. I'm not anti-theist (for the record); I'm anti-ridiculousness. WAKE UP!
@twaallen32 well, if you had studied christianity more closely, you would find that it is believed that those who can not choose cognitavely for themselves (ie children and the mentally impared) they go to heaven any way because of their inability to make life decisions.
Actually, people who consider themselves "Christians" believe all sorts of things (some contradictory to others' beliefs). I have heard of this defense, but I am not all that impressed with it. If the god you believe in just lets anything into heaven because it isn't capable of decision-making, then why even have anyone exist in this life at all (just have everyone be in heaven)? Doesn't that "defense" utterly destroy free-will's purpose?
"I'm perplexed why you would be saddened by something that you have no grounds for even asserting?" -T4P Your video answers your own question. If the Bible is not true and the account of Jesus is not true, then "Our preaching is in vain" "Faith is in vain" "We are of all people most to be pitied". If P then Q. Nothing perplexing why someone would be saddened when they see a person's life based on something not true, futile, vain, pitiful.
I'm a bit of a movie buff. Paul's story reminds me of Point Break, The Fast and the Furious, The Last Samurai, Dances with Wolves, and Avatar. Do you know what those movies have in common? They're all stories about a guy who was somehow in conflict with another group of people, only to later become enchanted with that group and eventually join them. One man's convert is another man's traitor. Paul's story was not remarkable. He was Judas in reverse.
Paul made a claim that some guy rose from the dead...........and some peopele be;ieved him. Thats the foundation of christianity. It was not necesary for Jesus to have even existed. People believeed based on the words only of others such miraculous stories. :) nothing new nor unatural here. ppl always do this
@Lombokstrait1 I understand you dont believe. I do believe. I'm not pretending and if you feel inclined to resort to making such comments then by all means do a video on "your own channel" doing what many anti-theists do..ridicule, mock and insult.
@TogetherForPeace believing and pretending are the same thing when you have no proof of anything. the bible was written by men with agendas... plain and simple.
I don't need to create a video. I prefer the written word.
God/Jesus should've created a video though! Good idea!!! Why don't they prove they exist? Make it obvious. they should come down here and use their words and put it on film.
It is ironic to see someone willing to believe that who says something happened not 30 years ago or even 800 years ago, but MILLIONS & millions of years ago, no eyewitness, just the endorsing of other anti-God persons,
yet promptly dismisses the accounts of a contemporary of Christ, is difficult to comprehend such tortuous minds,
…nonetheless, a lot of us used to believe those “scientific” fairy tales as well, so may God be gracious to you & them.
@bbbckcal physical evidence is the answer to your "no eyewitness" gotchya issue. Physical evidence is more reliable than eyewitness testimony. Also they are scientists not witch-doctors. Lots and lots of scientists who have a tougher, stronger method of testing than faith (pretending).
With Christ there is no physical evidence, all you have is hear say and second/third hand accounts. Kind'a like playing telephone... things get out of hand.
@Lombokstrait1 "you guys wanna pretend... that's cool. I understand. "
You should! Atheists do it all the time. They try to pretend they have a credible basis for ethics and morality with which to make value judgments against Almighty God. They call Him a tyrant and say He is evil for the things He commanded in the OT. Of course they do not believe in God. They also have no rational basis for ethics beyond their own subjective likes and dislikes. So who is the great pretender?? LOL
@Lombokstrait1 "You need a god to tell you whats right and whats wrong?"
Opinions are like armpits! Everybody has a couple and they don't always smell so good. I need MORE than subjective opinions as to what is right and wrong. How does an atheistic materialist even determine what is right or wrong? What IS a decent person? One who commits genocide to rid the world of people with birth defects? Or kills the elderly to make room for the young? Is cannibalism pragmatic and therefore good?
@SmolyHoax Ah shucks you're right. who the hell knows? lol.
First off, I'm agnostic, not athiest. But in reading the OT, the Israelites were ordered more than a couple times by God to kill everyone after sacking a rival tribe's town. Everyone. Sounds like your good book and god believes in genocide too. Subjective? That's your bible
As for your other banal, obtuse statements.. you are reaching, grasping. It's pathetic. Really.
You are indeed clueless. You do need guidance, without a doubt.
@tjhombs "Is commiting genocide in the name of your God supposed to be good?"
WHATEVER God commands us to do is proper to do. There were times when He commanded the Jew to slay ALL of their enemies in a certain place including women, babies and EVEN cattle. Now my question to you is simply this:
Is genocide okay when commanded or sanctioned by the STATE? I am thinking in particular of Roe vs Wade and the resulting SUBTLE black genocide.This among a plethora of STATE sanctioned genocide.
How about the genocide that occurs daily, what with masturbation and couples making love with contraception? All of those living things that could have become children to irresponsible parents. So sad...
How ironic: you spout out nonsense about the "genocide" of clusters of cells that either lack or have undeveloped nervous systems IN THEIR DEFENSE, yet you mock those poor individuals who undergo frontal lobotomies??? What kind of sick individual are you?
@twaallen32 "yet you mock those poor individuals who undergo frontal lobotomies?"
I didn't REALLY think you had had one. Sorry :( My BAD LOL you made an asinine comment and I was responding in kind with the ONLY sort of refutation such nonsense deserves.
I actually KNOW someone who has had a lobotomy. It is a very sad thing. I would have to have a heart of stone not to feel the UTMOST sympathy and compassion. What kind of sick individual are YOU to justify the slaughter of fetuses? They LIVE!!
I disagree that it's an "asinine comment." Here, I'll make it easier to respond, hopefully without immaturity this time. How is a zygote anymore of a person than gametes?
And I haven't tried to "justify the slaughter of fetuses" especially since over half of all abortions occur before the 8th week of development (before even becoming a fetus).
@twaallen32 "I disagree that it's an "asinine comment."
I am sure you XD But REALLY dude LOL If you SERIOUSLY believe masturbation and prophylactics constitute some hideous form of genocide, I feel sorry for you XD I can't believe you ACTUALLY meant that you THOUGHT and Heaven only knows NO rational person would think that.
Life begins at conception.! Doesn't abiogenesis teach that when LIFELESS amino acids get together they form simple life forms; at least they start it all the process XD
Ah, I knew you couldn't handle just one answer without the immaturity. You still haven't answered my question, though. You just asserted that "life begins at conception," which has nothing to do with being a person. Is it not more accurate to say that life "continues" with conception, since abiogenesis doesn't occur every conception? So I will try to ask one more time, how is a zygote more of a person than gametes?
@twaallen32 there is a HUGE difference between contraception and the pre-life murder that society calls abortion. as a youth counselor, i have seen COUNTLESS teen girls come into my office feeling regret and remorse over their choice to have an abortion. there are other options out there for young girls, but most of them have not been educated on their options and see no alternative. i fell pregnant the day i lost my virginity and my daughter has been the best thing that ever happened to me.
The fact that your story ends nicely does NOT mean that thousands of young women don't have to struggle the rest of their lives either economically (to support their child before completing high school) or psychologically (after giving up their baby for adoption). Once a young woman is pregnant, there are obviously NO easy decisions, but she at least has the choice to end a process of development before that cluster of cells becomes a child to irresponsible parent(s).
No what is weak is your complete failure to define your terms (decent person) or produce ANY basis for your ethics or morality. Even if I knew what you mean by being a decent person (some liberals think supporting socialism in the form of helping the poor is part of being a decent person for example) I STILL would not know WHY you think being one "is the most rational thing [you] can think of.
@Dkenair2 Wow. Well, then grip that bible real tight! For all of us!!! You remind of a muslim fundamentalist fanatic. You share their medieval mind set.
@h8red42 Indeed it's a beautiful story. You don't believe it that's fine. I know better than you how I should spend my time and the worth of my life. I'm perplexed why you would be saddened by something that you have no grounds for even asserting? As though you actually know how people should live our their life!
@TogetherForPeace "As though you actually know how people should live [out] their life!"
Well isn't that kind of a double standard? I know that not all Christians walk the earth preaching how people should live their lives (although many do), but I can confidently create this blanket statement and say that ALL Christians walk the earthing 'knowing' how other people -should- live their lives: By following the word of the bible and accepting Jesus. Hypocrisy much?
@epshot Eloquently said! *tackle hugs*, You couldn't have said it any better! Funny he sits there thinking we are all going to hell and pitying us and praying for us, and then gets mad if we pity him for wasting his time on such junk. This guy is quite the character. After hearing him talk, he's clearly mentally unstable, which is why he hooks onto religion so much. No one but his imaginary friends would listen to his relentless rantings. Thank you for choosing sanity and reason!YOU are awesome!
@TogetherForPeace It's fucking IRONIC that you have the nerve to tell this person they have no grounds to say how someone should live their life, yet that is EXACTLY what your stupid ass religion does. Hello pot, meet kettle. YOU'RE BOTH BLACK!
What other wise words can we find in the same book (1 Corinthians)?
1 Corinthians 11:3-9
"But I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man... A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. For man did not come from woman, but woman from man; neither was man created for woman, but woman for man."
"Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church."
I dont have a problem with Jesus actually existing. The crucifixion was the way the Romans killed people. Nothing special there then. Its the miracle of the resurrection that i dont believe. Without that belief Jesus was just a man. Without all the so called miracles Jesus was just a man.
funny how u people kno wat color or wat christ look like. from the King James Bible said
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. so why have a picture of jesus.
Didn't Jesus tell the person beside him, on the cross, that "Today you will be with me in paradise?" ...and then, didn't he die, and descend to the dead. ...So, is Hell paradise? He didn't go to Heaven until the third day, so, ...UGH, this BIBLE thing is SOO DIFFICULT! How could this divine inspiration be so flawed?!
@hellavadeal not necessarily. maybe nothing with happen. I don't pretend to know. That's what you people do, pretend. I used to pretend a lot as a child.
You pretend to know, but you really don't know at all. We will find out... or maybe we won't. We may just cease to exist when we die. No one knows.
But if there is a god he won't be all angry like you make him out to be . The great angry dad syndrome.
@Lombokstrait1 Wow . You know all about me and what i say and believe. This is what is called a straw man. You know nothing about me or what i say. But you will know some day if there is an afterlife. And if there is , where will your beliefs be? And what good have they done you then?
@Lombokstrait1 Hypocrite? I made no words to show this. You are judging me? LOL . Because i am a believer , i know i am not perfect. Are you willing to risk your soul on something you know nothing about? Research it and you will find much evidence for something beyond this existence. Something greater then any fairy tale could tale . But real just the same.
@hellavadeal the mystery man! yes. you are a hypocrite. read your statement!
Research it?! In this world you can find examples and evidence for anything! Especially if you want to believe it bad enough!!! But that is exactly the moment zealots and suckers are born. You were born again.... get it? LOL
But real just the same? You have proof of nothing. Your evidence is a fraud. You are perpetrating the fraud yourself now.
@Lombokstrait1 But i am not selling you anything , only asking you to look before you leap. We are commanded by God to question everything. So for being a skeptic you should respect this. How can you be certain that there is no God or no afterlife? My own life experience shows that there is .
@hellavadeal In a way yes you are selling it by be party to it. I'm not certain there is a god or isn't a god. I'm certain that those who pretend to know and schill any particular dogma with it are a fraud or victims of a fraud.
Bottom line there is NO way you can be sure.
I wish I could know for sure... but this can not be. Faith is pretending.... really really hard. For all your "life experience" showing there is there are those whose experience shows there is not.
@Lombokstrait1 I agree with most of what you just said. So i will leave it at that. We will never agree on everything. Try to look at things from more then one perspective and you will get a better picture. No one knows everything.
What? The sermon on the mount becomes worthless if "Christ has not been raised"? I am not a Christian, I don't believe in the supernatural but it would seem I value the idea of "love thy neighbor" than Paul seems to, if indeed its all "in vain" if Christ is not risen. The best parts of the Bible, the most important universal "truths", do not require any religious belief.
@zelda0521 These philosophical ideas were arrived at, at many times and places, under the guise of either religion or non-religion; we "decided" on these "truths" collectively. Some of them are common sense and based on evolved rules for social cohesion; the prohibition on killing other human beings etc.
@Untemperedsteel Then those are not truths, but customs or laws that some societies have adopted, and they are not universal. If its a dog eat dog world I live in I have no desire to love my neighbor as long as I have a bigger stick than his. Many empires thrived while enslaving its weaker neighbors, who is to say that's bad?
@zelda0521 Although there is also a discussion of hell in Matthew 25:31-46, there is also more than a hint of the idea that we should show compassion for others. We see similar ideas about compassion and seeing ourselves in others, and perhaps seeing something of what could be called "God" there also, though when I say "God" I don't mean Yahweh, I mean it as a metaphor for the Universe and our unity with it.
@zelda0521 Yes it is a "dog eat dog world". We have evolved from the winners in the struggle of death and adaptation which is the engine behind the evolution of species. The question is, now that we are aware of ourselves and our place in the scale of things, do we continue to fight like dogs or do we start to cooperate more and dare I say "love more"? I am essentially atheistic, but if we dont attempt to "love our neighbour" I see social dissolution and perhaps extinction in our future.
@Untemperedsteel In an atheistic worldview, I see no reason to care about society or the survival of my species unless it affects my pleasure seeking in a negative way. Perhaps it brings you pleasure and fulfillment when you speak of things like love and world peace, but that's not the case for others. There is no shortage of people who take pleasure in living a selfish lifestyle and get a kick out of exploiting the weak.
@zelda0521 Atheism is merely non-belief in a supernatural God(s), there is much philosophical room for maneuver among atheists, outside of that one shared non-belief. Some people are ethical without religion, some seem to require it and even some like those in the Westboro Baptist Church seem to be terrible people because of their religion. I don't want to see human society either end or continue being ruled by pure greed, that is my "selfish" reason for liking love and loving-kindness.
Your preaching IS in vain, your faith IS in vain, your faith IS futile, your "sins" ARE still yours and I feel pity for the many people who torture themselves with doubt & fear of the judgement of an entity for which there is no evidence, and feel pain for the millions who have been persecuted for their futile beliefs throughout history.
peace from a Muslim who doesnt understand how Jesus can be God and son of God at the same time?? Muslims beleive theres only ONE God alone. and Jesus peace be upon him is a Prophet.
@pinkrose101s It's something no one can explain. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are 1 being, but 3 separate persons.
You see, Jesus had to be fully man but at the same time fully god (he was called the Son of man which claims he is divine) to be pierced for our transgressions.
Only the blood of a pure lamb could cleanse the sins of the world.
I hope I brought some sort of explanation to your question. It was the best I could do.
So, to clarify: even if Jesus does not exist, all your other beliefs somehow still hold true...?

@phillozoph50 Well I cant give facts but its common sense AND logical to read the Quran and know God exists. That is why I believe in God. You know how scientists are just now discovering that the universe is flat? Mentioned in the Quran 1400 yrs ago. The universe is expanding? Also mentioned in the Quran. Iron did not originate on Earth? Mentioned in the Quran. Now how were those things in the Quran but we are only finding out about them now? Did a 'deranged peadophile' make it up? NO.

@3dimensionalJoe I think what is worse is what you did to yourself. God is not cruel and He does not always give us what we desire. We suffer and we have many heartaches but if we persevere and continue in faith there comes a time when all become clear, the sun starts shining. A tree is nothing without wind, a salmon is nothing without the currents that encourages it to swim faster and grow stronger. A cure is not always being miraculously healed, sometimes it comes in the form of courage.

@Dkenair2 One, its Affect,and two, considering the fact that the actual event of his death was over 1000 yrs ago, it's time to move on. We don't still hear people whining about the Bubonic Plague. Three, it doesn't HAVE to affect them, considering they never met him and had no contact with him. It's their choice. As I would say to a long term drug addict and any other person addicted long term to something detrimental just because it gives them temporary relief , seek therapy and get over it.

@thezebrastripe89 But nobody in the Bubonic plague died for our sins. Jesus Christ did. Thus affecting us today. ( thanks for the correction.)

One last for however many hours you are under the influence, the other gives me "relief" for an eternity.

The same applies to what he wrote in Galatians. The same applies to what John wrote in 1 John 1. The writers of the N.T. are making historical claims. Truth claims.

According to statistics done by Greg S. Paul, about half of all humans born have died as children, before they even had the cognitive capacity to truly understand the Christian myth and to choose whether or not they "accepted" Jesus. God/Jesus obviously doesn't care about human life and/or humans' ability to make (supposedly) the most important decision that ultimately leads to one's eternal fate. I'm not anti-theist (for the record); I'm anti-ridiculousness. WAKE UP!

Actually, people who consider themselves "Christians" believe all sorts of things (some contradictory to others' beliefs). I have heard of this defense, but I am not all that impressed with it. If the god you believe in just lets anything into heaven because it isn't capable of decision-making, then why even have anyone exist in this life at all (just have everyone be in heaven)? Doesn't that "defense" utterly destroy free-will's purpose?

The fact that your story ends nicely does NOT mean that thousands of young women don't have to struggle the rest of their lives either economically (to support their child before completing high school) or psychologically (after giving up their baby for adoption).

"Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church."

I dont have a problem with Jesus actually existing. The crucifixion was the way the Romans killed people. Nothing special there then. Its the miracle of the resurrection that i dont believe. Without that belief Jesus was just a man. Without all the so called miracles Jesus was just a man.

funny how u people kno wat color or wat christ look like. from the King James Bible said
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. so why have a picture of jesus.

Didn't Jesus tell the person beside him, on the cross, that "Today you will be with me in paradise?" ...and then, didn't he die, and descend to the dead. ...So, is Hell paradise? He didn't go to Heaven until the third day, so, ...UGH, this BIBLE thing is SOO DIFFICULT! How could this divine inspiration be so flawed?!

@hellavadeal not necessarily. maybe nothing with happen. I don't pretend to know. That's what you people do, pretend. I used to pretend a lot as a child.
You pretend to know, but you really don't know at all. We will find out... or maybe we won't. We may just cease to exist when we die. No one knows.
But if there is a god he won't be all angry like you make him out to be . The great angry dad syndrome.

@Lombokstrait1 Wow . You know all about me and what i say and believe. This is what is called a straw man. You know nothing about me or what i say. But you will know some day if there is an afterlife. And if there is , where will your beliefs be? And what good have they done you then?

@hellavadeal lol. yeah you are mystery! I know nothing about what you say?
How do you know what I know? lol. You are a hypocrite.
and no I may never know. and you may never know either. as I said before... We may just cease to exist when we die. No one knows.

@Lombokstrait1 Hypocrite? I made no words to show this. You are judging me? LOL . Because i am a believer , i know i am not perfect. Are you willing to risk your soul on something you know nothing about? Research it and you will find much evidence for something beyond this existence. Something greater then any fairy tale could tale . But real just the same.
hellavadeal 7 months ago
@hellavadeal the mystery man! yes. you are a hypocrite. read your statement!
Research it?! In this world you can find examples and evidence for anything! Especially if you want to believe it bad enough!!! But that is exactly the moment zealots and suckers are born. You were born again.... get it? LOL
But real just the same? You have proof of nothing. Your evidence is a fraud. You are perpetrating the fraud yourself now.

@Lombokstrait1 But i am not selling you anything , only asking you to look before you leap. We are commanded by God to question everything. So for being a skeptic you should respect this. How can you be certain that there is no God or no afterlife? My own life experience shows that there is .
hellavadeal 7 months ago
@hellavadeal In a way yes you are selling it by be party to it. I'm not certain there is a god or isn't a god. I'm certain that those who pretend to know and schill any particular dogma with it are a fraud or victims of a fraud.
Bottom line there is NO way you can be sure.
I wish I could know for sure... but this can not be. Faith is pretending.... really really hard. For all your "life experience" showing there is there are those whose experience shows there is not.
Lombokstrait1 7 months ago
@Lombokstrait1 I agree with most of what you just said. So i will leave it at that. We will never agree on everything. Try to look at things from more then one perspective and you will get a better picture. No one knows everything.

What? The sermon on the mount becomes worthless if "Christ has not been raised"? I am not a Christian, I don't believe in the supernatural but it would seem I value the idea of "love thy neighbor" than Paul seems to, if indeed its all "in vain" if Christ is not risen. The best parts of the Bible, the most important universal "truths", do not require any religious belief.
Untemperedsteel 7 months ago
@Untemperedsteel Who gets to decide these universal "truths"?
zelda0521 7 months ago
@zelda0521 These philosophical ideas were arrived at, at many times and places, under the guise of either religion or non-religion; we "decided" on these "truths" collectively. Some of them are common sense and based on evolved rules for social cohesion; the prohibition on killing other human beings etc.
Untemperedsteel 7 months ago
@Untemperedsteel Then those are not truths, but customs or laws that some societies have adopted, and they are not universal. If its a dog eat dog world I live in I have no desire to love my neighbor as long as I have a bigger stick than his. Many empires thrived while enslaving its weaker neighbors, who is to say that's bad?
zelda0521 7 months ago
@zelda0521 Although there is also a discussion of hell in Matthew 25:31-46, there is also more than a hint of the idea that we should show compassion for others. We see similar ideas about compassion and seeing ourselves in others, and perhaps seeing something of what could be called "God" there also, though when I say "God" I don't mean Yahweh, I mean it as a metaphor for the Universe and our unity with it.
Untemperedsteel 7 months ago
@zelda0521 Yes it is a "dog eat dog world". We have evolved from the winners in the struggle of death and adaptation which is the engine behind the evolution of species. The question is, now that we are aware of ourselves and our place in the scale of things, do we continue to fight like dogs or do we start to cooperate more and dare I say "love more"? I am essentially atheistic, but if we dont attempt to "love our neighbour" I see social dissolution and perhaps extinction in our future.
Untemperedsteel 7 months ago
@Untemperedsteel In an atheistic worldview, I see no reason to care about society or the survival of my species unless it affects my pleasure seeking in a negative way. Perhaps it brings you pleasure and fulfillment when you speak of things like love and world peace, but that's not the case for others. There is no shortage of people who take pleasure in living a selfish lifestyle and get a kick out of exploiting the weak.
zelda0521 7 months ago
@zelda0521 Atheism is merely non-belief in a supernatural God(s), there is much philosophical room for maneuver among atheists, outside of that one shared non-belief. Some people are ethical without religion, some seem to require it and even some like those in the Westboro Baptist Church seem to be terrible people because of their religion. I don't want to see human society either end or continue being ruled by pure greed, that is my "selfish" reason for liking love and loving-kindness.

Your preaching IS in vain, your faith IS in vain, your faith IS futile, your "sins" ARE still yours and I feel pity for the many people who torture themselves with doubt & fear of the judgement of an entity for which there is no evidence, and feel pain for the millions who have been persecuted for their futile beliefs throughout history.

peace from a Muslim who doesnt understand how Jesus can be God and son of God at the same time?? Muslims beleive theres only ONE God alone. and Jesus peace be upon him is a Prophet.
pinkrose101s 7 months ago
@pinkrose101s It's something no one can explain. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are 1 being, but 3 separate persons.
You see, Jesus had to be fully man but at the same time fully god (he was called the Son of man which claims he is divine) to be pierced for our transgressions.
Only the blood of a pure lamb could cleanse the sins of the world.
I hope I brought some sort of explanation to your question. It was the best I could do.
Peace be with you.
