    Why preach to the unsaved?

    Assuming it's true that those who have never heard of Jesus will go to Heaven regardless of their religion, why seek out and preach to such people and force them to choose between Heaven and Hell when they were guaranteed entrance through the pearly gates before? I can't help but think that...

    Have you used the golden key?

    What about that key that hangs over the back door? The one Satan uses to lead his eager explorers by the hand to a paradise made of brimstone? Anyone ever turn that lock?

    Arkansas Couple Has 17th Child, Still Want More

    Real Estate is not unlimited as resources on Earth are limited. Only so much land and water exists to sustain a human population. I'm surprised there haven't been many people talking about how this family with 17 kids supports a lifestyle which would murder the Earth with over-population if...

    Living with Authism Spectrum

    You bring up good points about autistic people being judged. My entire life I've heard or read professionals spouting that people on the spectrum have no empathy which prevents them from understanding others. This has always seemed foolish to me as those of us with AS can be very humanitarian...

    i really love my christian bf, but why is it so hard...

    I don't understand how someone can truly love a person but at the same time just nonchalantly break-up because of some religious difference. If he can't respect the fact that you are a non-believer and keeps playing these break up games, I can't help but think that you would be doing yourself...

    What I don't like about the sacrifice of Christ

    Christians seem to act so sad that Christ was nailed to a cross and that losing Christ had to somehow be a great loss or tragedy to God, but was it? Sacrifice involves truly losing something, but God didn't lose anything when he sacrificed Christ. Of course, I understand the symbolism of the...

    Women and the Bible

    As I had mentioned to someone earlier, I have trouble understanding why women in particular could be drawn to Christianity when the Bible is such a misogynistic text. I assume that some women view the misogyny of the Bible as a cultural artifact of an ancient culture and more or less choose to...

    The way atheists think?

    At least from my own perspective, I find great relief in the fact that I need not feel any guilt or fear for failing to live up to standards imposed on me from some god. I am free to question, explore, and experiment without feeling as though damnation awaits me for doing so. It's about...

    Lord, help me....

    Stay in there Cass, you might be feeling that life is hopeless and that things can't improve, but it can. It just takes time to find the right path for yourself.

    Need some advice am dating a Christian girl

    Desert Island Wrote: I disagree that atheists have a lower level of morality than Christians. There have been many atheists who have had their lives destroyed for trying to create a more just world or for standing up for their principles.

    Who is the most evil person (human) in the Bible?

    One of the things that got me currently interested in Christianity and Judaism is that I had been reading about the ancient Phoenicians and discovered that some people believe Jezebel was a princess or queen of ancient Phoenician origin. Phoenicia was located in the area of Canaan. So this...

    Questions about the soul

    Raphael wrote: I'm wondering if you can elaborate further on this concept. The way I interpret what you are saying is that we have multiple souls or spirits within us. When you say that someone who is "born again" receives a spirit, is this a spirt that inhabits their body separate of their...

    Questions about the soul

    Do you believe the physical description given of hell in the Bible, of it being a place of fire and brimstone, is merely some kind of metaphor that reflects on the suffering the forsaken soul experiences? Does the soul actually suffer from physical pain and discomfort? Does it have pain...
