What aspects of Christianity/Christians do those who don't claim it for themselves like, if any?

If I ask myself a similar question, there is probably aspects of many other faiths that I like. I like the devotion of some Muslims. I like the whole idea of Zen koans. I recently read the Upanishads and found them fascinating; there are numerous statements that are almost mirror images of statements in the Bible.

When it comes to atheists, it's a little different since they are not a homogeneous group. What I like about many of those who are regular on this site is their commitment to rationality and the sciences. I find that to be a helpful counter to some anit-science attitudes; it keeps things honest.

All in all, I think the mix on CF is great. It keeps things from descending into mindless agreement and back patting. It keeps things interesting. Out of all the Christian forums I've visited, this is the only one I find interesting.

I'm not an atheist but i love Jesus and the greater picture is if you don't your life will end at death and you won't be with Jesus. So the other is lose lose lose

May I post here?

I have an excellent question for those who once claimed to be a Christian, but now claim otherwise.

And Happy Fourth to you as well.

Yes, we're waiting

The most puzzling to me is how can you explain the wonders of creation without a great creator?

Well hopefully if you ask a question of an atheist they will answer. Nothing guarantees that they will use this topic. People might still get negative on them.

For a Christian::. If you do something once a year that your not sure it is a sin. Let's say it is a specific sin but you only do it once a year not practiced. Do you think it is a sin. What if it is not a designated, maybe boarder line sin. Still not practiced. Is it a sin?

 

[returntosender]

I wonder how many left god because God didn't answer their prayers,?

Here's my question to those of you who claim you were once saved, but have "shaken off the shackles and are now free":

What made you give up all these benefits ...

Psalm 34:8 O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

Psalm 51:12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

Hebrews 6:4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,

... to embrace atheism?

1. Perhaps you weren't saved in the first place?

2. Or perhaps you are now a victim of Paul's warning not to embrace evolution, as it can lead to atheism?

3. Or perhaps you just don't know?

I would love for someone to answer this honestly.

Depends on how tough the question is, I suppose.

Might have to use a crowbar to pry an answer out.

Yes.

And you're talking to someone who believes doing 26 mph in a 25 mph zone is a sin.

What if Jesus is not God? What is one of the many other religions is right?

It not not Jesus vs atheism. It’s Jesus vs all the other gods. And atheism.

I find the wording of this question confusing.

Are you asking if it's a sin to do something if you're unsure that it's sinful? Or are you asking if you commit a particular sin, or maybe do something a bit questionable, but not often, if that's a sin?

 

[AV1611VET]

Huh?

Do you know what a Karen is?
