Guess the trick is to be gentle but firm. I like how you lay out the reasoning. Hopefully and probably this won't happen again after the first conversation, thanks. Thanks, hopefully he gets it, but the weird thing is he's always complaining about wanting to get a divorce from his wife...

Thanks, no he's not Christian, but I think the part about asking him to respect our marriage sounds very clear and an excellent think to say. And hmm, yeah he is going through some issues in his marriage as well. He and his wife fight ALOT, and is not exactly friendly with us. But yeah I can...

Thanks all who read this thread. So we've been happily married for a year, and live in a small, dark apartment that has little security(neighborhood is nice though). This guy who lives in the apartment across the hallway from us is married, and has a daughter off to college. We've know him for...

Uh, I've witnessed many people and family find peace and happiness with God during my journey. I can't speak for other religions, but comparing this is virtually impossible, no? I also believe they did surveys about how content or happy a person is, and Christians did seem to do better. Perhaps...

Good question, personally I don't know why the difference, but I do think they are two sides of the same coin. There were/are similar crimes and atrocities(baby killings, crucifictions, etc etc) going on in Jesus's time on to today, and there were acts of love, courage, forgiveness and humility...

If all due respect, it looks like you don't trust Christians, the government, AND the media. Which I can't blame you for, to be honest. Even WW2 I think had a LOT of people against it. If it weren't for Pearl Harbor, I wonder if America would have ever gotten involved, even if Britain had...

Uh, I honestly doubt that commandment had any effect on anyone's decision about wars, but perhaps you know more about Christians than I do. My parents traveled a lot when I was young, and I spent a lot of time in South Korea. It is exactly the type of war the people you mentioned would be...

Apologize for butting in the middle of a discussion, but I always thought this may be one of the reasons why God doesn't reveal himself in a thundering universe shaking sort of way. Adam and Eve experienced everything God had to offer, but you could argue they seriously lacked the...

I like this. I'd argue further that perhaps they have not seen enough evidence.

Sorry if you took it that way, but I don't think your response would be much different if someone told you not to swim until you're good at it.

There are many interesting arguments as to why God may not exist. But honestly I don't think your question is not one of the more valid ones. You might as well tell your friend not to drive until he's good at it. Regardless, have your way sir.

Come on sir, are you honestly taking word games as a valid rational logical argument? OK, I'll reply with the same kind of logic as your question. Q. Can god make a rock so big even he can't lift it? A. A negative yes or positive no. Pick whatever you want sir.

Except my parents went to church after I did.

By the way, I noticed you love posting in threads where clearly Christians are discussing things and post your atheist opinions, dripping with sarcasm and superiority. Regardless of your beliefs, which should be respected, you sure do come off as rude and immature. Of course, many...

There are many Atheists who end up Christian as well. Including me. Looks like we share the same opinion in that I would be overjoyed should others should arrive at my conclusion as well!

Well, if God really is true love as Christians love to say, who's to say he won't lend out a hand to those who are apart from him in hell? How about another angle. If God's purpose is to get as many people to be with him in heaven as possible, what if the concept of hell and sending Jesus was...

Hmm, I have to do a better job of writing it looks like. I originally wrote how no one should be persecuted for their beliefs, how it was very sad. Then I got distracted and had to write it all over again. My bad. That being said. I asked the hell question because you mentioned hell was one...

Yes. Tragic... On another note, what do you think Hell, if it exists, would be like?

Still torture, death, and the forgiveness of ones captors... I'm not saying that is proof or anything, but it MUST have been a strong conviction. Thanks for the response, rpeg.

Sorry, I was trying to be engaging. And by the way, you did completely shoot down someones question deeming it not worthy of a response. You think that tone was just fine?
