    Would a world without religion...

    Religion that requires submission is awful but believing is beautiful. When you began to make your belief a fact or truth and indoctrinate it to others that do not agree, well that's when I or others stand up in defense and disagree.

    [moved from C&E] Religions call people Atheists.

    I totally agree with the op and other atheists. We believe what we believe based on upon who influenced us as children. i'm a witness to this situation being as a child i didn't know who God was but was a Christian because of my parents. I just basically lived my life, enjoying every single...

    What you (Christians) think of Atheists

    so as i stated before, I viewed this incorrectly I thought it was read "agnostics/skeptics" are irrational and delusional. I took the agnostic/skeptic point of view to defend the atheist view, which was incorrect on my part since: atheist = DENIES God existence. agnostic/skeptic = DON'T KNOW if...

    What you (Christians) think of Atheists

    AMEN! You didn't offend me and I hope I didn't offend you. I think it was misunderstanding on my part, not yours. I just didn't have the right definitions correctly matching the term. Like atheist is someone that denies the existence of God. And with what you posted so far in the thread above...

    'Un-Christian Music?'

    @Julian of York But you see that's your own PERSONAL conviction. What makes you think your OWN PERSONAL conviction is for the whole Christian faith as a whole. This is one of the reasons that made me step away from the faith in the first place. I wanted to explore Christianity for myself and...

    'Un-Christian Music?'

    This... I listen to ALL kinds of music. I was once caught up in the fundamental aspect of listening to what most fundamental or strict Christians call "the devils music". I then stepped back and realized I was believing and trusting in another persons convictions or opinion rather than my...

    What you (Christians) think of Atheists

    @searchingforjesus I agree with you now, maybe my point isn't clear enough. All I wanted to say was just like you say atheists are delusional to believing in God, they think you or me are delusional for believing in God. That's all I'm saying, sure they refuse to accept something supernatural...

    What you (Christians) think of Atheists

    @searchingforjesus And your response is suppose to win an atheist to Christ? My response is more of an direct statement showing your rude comment to call an unbeliever delusional. how ignorant is that? You were once in the same position as an atheist and yet you just dismiss them as being...

    What you (Christians) think of Atheists

    Certainly not a Christ-like response. And I'm pretty sure since I was an atheist myself, atheists are not delusional but open minded to what's in front of them rather than what's not there. We were all atheists at one point in our life. Unless you were indoctrinated at a young age with...

    'Un-Christian Music?'

    Say hello to "fundamental" Christians! I'm a Christian and I listen to all sorts of music and the all sorts of music certainly does not mess up my faith. It's just when you have certain pastors or certain head of churches bring their own personal convictions to the pulpit and preach it to their...

    Alternative/extra books in the Bible?

    Yes there were some books excluded from the Bible. There are two different bibles the Christians use. The Catholic Bible and the Protestant Bible. The Catholic Bible contains: 46 Old Testament books. 27 New Testament books. The Protestant Bible contains: 39 Old Testament books. 27 New...

    need help, lingering to Christ but need guidance

    @razeontherock You are correct, brother! I feel a strong connection with Christ that very moment I go into worship. Jesus name is powerful. Something I thank the Lord for. @solarwave The love Jesus presents to mankind. When I stepped away from the faith it was so hard for me to dislike Jesus...

    Poll: Belief in Big Bang Theory & Evolution

    I accept both and believe God used the ingredients to form man and He watched the process of life begin and did not intervene to mess up the process. The same with the universe, etc.

    need help, lingering to Christ but need guidance

    I wasn't confused. I didn't know anything about the Christian faith to begin because I was indoctrinated at a young age. So when someone came to me with sources that talked bad about Christianity, I as a believer didn't know how to respond to the individual because I never researched...

    need help, lingering to Christ but need guidance

    uh when I reflect back on my research and me reading into the sources, pretty much the bias sources led me into the agnostic position. I sensed so much hatred within the text, I personally began to develop hatred also. I will bookmark that link and thanks for this advice, sister! God bless...
