    Razeontherock- Thankyou for you input on the OT and NT. Also why do you censor the word God? I ask out of curiousity. Knowing Jesus does not offend me, I just do not understand how you can say that you do. Unless you refer to knowing Jesus as a metaphorical way of knowing the bible, seems to...

I apologize for giving the perception that I meant my self, as I am surely am not as good as other people in this...

    oi_antz: I felt like I answered your question without a hint of aggression or argumentive tone. Do you people live in the real world? In fact after looking back at what I said I did not give the slightest hint of aggressive text towards you. Merely explaining why christianity and its...

    Razeontherock: You think I am attacking you? If I wanted to attack you, you would know it, is essentially what I do in this life. Now please stop being so sensitive, trying to pursue a little internet feud is not helping make you look like a "mature christian". Alas stop going with the...

    Razeontherock: "good things happen to bad people" "bad things happen to good people"- Exact same in the context of which it was used and the point that was trying to be proven by the creator of the video, and by myself as well. I certainly wasn't asking you to help me be mature, because in...

    Aiki- Read my later posts, as much of the points you were addressing have already been replied to by myself. If not then, well I'm wrong lol. oi_antz- I consider it Bias, it can be seen in anything really, politics, debates, and in this case religion. I will rationalize it in anyway that makes...

    Thankyou to the many of you that provided sincere un arrogant posts, and well no thankyou to the few passive aggressive old testament followers that do nothing but give your religion a bad name who posted. After spending the last few days of doing research I came to a realization. That no...

    I thank all of you for your thoughtful responses, except for Envida Issac because he has horrible sentence structure, makes no sense and essentially added nothing to the thread. I was overwhelmed with the responses and each of you had a little bit different view on each question I asked. Which...

    Serious Questions

    Forgive me if I skip around a bit and get out of order on my replies. 1. So are you saying that we are all god, and god is all things? That seems familiar but I don't recognize it as being a christian belief. 2. What about the large sums of people that have no relationship with a god not...

    First off I do not post these questions with mal intention nor is any sarcasm intended to be percieved. They are serious questions that I hope somebody has an answer to. If you don't have a serious answer to it and instead intend on preaching to me how I should just "shut up, don't worry about...
