    Sanctity of Life

    From what I know of the Bible the Sanctity of Life is a large part of the Christian way of life. It's against abortion, suicide, etc. But what does the Bible define as suicide? The taking of ones life? But you can do this in so many ways. You can enter into a situation you know will result in...

    Thank God! Walmart agrees not to fund gays. AFA cancels boycott.

    Homosexuality has been proven by psychology to be something you are born with. There is a grouping of cells at the back of the brain and it differs in those of different sexualities as well as genders. Oh, no, problem solved. If God created everything he created them the way they are. Despite...

    Favorite Harry Potter Book

    I prefer the Half Blood Prince because of the dramatic ending and the development of characters that were usually only a side plot. Draco's inability to kill challenged what you thought of good and evil. It made you think that if you were in Draco's shoes you would have probably have been in the...

    Go on then...an Athiest, formerly a Christian. Questions please.

    I'm at a bad time right now, but I'm afraid that even being this vulnerable I couldn't accept the existence of God. If there is a God, he is not the Christian version for that God is contradicting and flawed. If there is a God no book written by man would be able to describe him. It's illogical.

    Hell's creation etc. A few questions.

    Actually that crossed my mind but the fact that God's omnipresent, oh wait, yeah, he's not in that bit....so then he wouldn't be all seeing all knowing if he's not in hell so therefore isn't all powerful.

    Is Hell ethical?

    In my opinion Hell is not ethical because we are all products of the world around us. We know what we've see and heard and our out look on life is frankly determined by our upbringing. Not every person is the same so to think they'd react to God in the same way is insane. We don't all have the...

    Go on then...an Athiest, formerly a Christian. Questions please.

    I almost forget how kind some Christians are. I know there are different churches. And I knew there were other ones that would have accepted me when I was there. But in this faith there always seemed so much hate and anger. And to whichever church I turn to there will be different teachings on...

    Spare me, Christianity has caused too many wars and too much hurt for it to be any good.

    Hell's creation etc. A few questions.

    You know. I've read that link and I've thought about your answers. I just can't understand that all these different Christian groups have different ideals about Heaven and Hell and the Bible and yet all claim to Christians and all claim others are wrong. What a horrid God to delude so many...

    Hell's creation etc. A few questions.

    As in, have any part in it. Create a supposed hell which which to condemn Lucifer to, although he 'chose it'. I'm sure he actually chose to try and steal Heaven from God right? So technically he chose that but it failed?
