    Quick query

    Sup. I see quite a number of people asserting that Christ died on the cross to absolve humanity of their sins; that Christ was killed by God. If we assume even a fairly moderate 3rd person perspective towards Christianity, this seems like something of a paltry evasion, as regards...

    Christianity and Nihilism

    Hey guys, long time no see. I was reading some stuff the other day, and some guy quoted Nietzsche as saying 'Christians-and other nihilists-...'. Is it true that Christians are nihilists? SoS

    God has no free will?

    Pondering this the other day, I stumbled across the following. Let's first consider a principle, the 'Principle of Divinity'. This states that God is all-knowing, all-present, all-powerful and all-benevolent. This means that God knows everything, is everywhere, can do anything and embodies...

    What does goodness consist in?

    It seems widely held that people should be treated as an end in themselves, as opposed to a means to something other. Is this a mistaken view?

    Why do we Christians do good things?

    Hi, the other day I was wondering about the above question and settled on the answer that a lot of Christians do good things because it secures them a place in heaven. Hang on a moment though, I thought, they're not good people if this is the case, assuming that a good person is someone that...

    Christian Vengeance

    Hi, the person who insulted me the other day sent me these over e-mail. I read some of them and think it's a load of rubbish; I don't know what they're from. I thought I would like to share them with some fellow brothers and sisters to see what you think of them. "I give some examples of what...

    Question about Christianity

    Hi, the other day I was talking with some people and one of them said that Christianity was a 'prothetic appendage', used only by those without the strength to support themselves. I don't know what he meant but it seemed quite offensive. What did he mean?

    Problem

    Hi, I was thinking the other day about the wisdom of Jesus, and I thought of his words 'Judge not lest ye be judged'. This is a profound imperative, or suggestion, and would lead to a far better world. It lies in relation to 'Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone', in my eyes the two...

    What is Love?

    Hello, hello. Was thinking about this the other day, about how Jesus and God love us all as only an omnibenevolent being can, and then I realised that I don't even know what love is! I could not define it in terms that seemed suitable. And thus I ask my Christian brothers and sisters to help...

    Love of a thing?

    Hi, I know that love is a most divine thing, but was thinking of something regarding it the other day. Love is a kind of passionate want for something, but if it is a kind of want then one can never want what one already has, and only that which they do not. Do people agree with this? Thanks

    Ethical dilemma

    Hiya, I was thinking of something the other day and it's bugging me. Say that you were strolling by the beach one day, and saw a person drowning. You 're an apt swimmer, and could easily rescue them. If you walk on by without rescuing them, are you committing a sin?

    Lucifer in the Garden of Eden

    I was thinking about this the other day, the Garden of Eden being the perfect paradise. If so, why was Satan in there disguised as a snake?

    Help needed! What is Faith?

    What is it to be one of 'the faithful'? I have asked myself time and time again what this is, and because I am younger than many and relatively new to religion so this is probably why. I do say that I have faith, but how do I know I have it if I cannot describe precisely what it is? I have...
