Anyone can call him/herself a Christian but doesn't make him/her a follower of Christ.
A tree needs seriously pruning now and proper nourishment to be healthy. It doesn't help when a tree is poisoned with toxins. It doesn't help when parasites atta…
How about Armenian? (one of the oldest translations of the Bible is in Armenian)
What Jesus said was recorded decades after his death....
So what exactly did Jesus say?
hmmm
Sorry folks, but in my opinion, everyone seem s a little "off" on this one.
Unless one of you is fluent in Greek, Aramaic, or Arabic, you are all arguing third hand semantics. Precisely the thing that Jesus apparently warned against. All religions h…
If love is such a big deal in christianity, how come jesus said to hate your family? (Luke 26:14--or is it 14:26?)
Well, Miss Abby, this is where we differ. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam do NOT have the same roots. Christianity is a sect of Judaism, as Paul clearly explained. When Mohammed wrote the Qur'an, he contradicted accounts written about 2,000 years p…
Dennis, I forgot to add the following for you:
The Prayer of St. Francis --
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope…
Actions always speak louder than words --
Christ overturned the tables of the money changers and then hung on the cross.
Unfortunately, people really respond to the overturning of the tables but not turning the other cheek.
I am still a work in p…
That was a wonderful note, Miss Abby. I know a lot about the Bible and its mysteries, but as the scripture says, "Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies." Love is the chief characteristic of a Christian. (See I Corinthians 13 entire) I am often chagri…
Yes, Jesus is revered but only as a prophet not as THE Prophet nor as the Son of God....
For all of that, the Qur'an also teaches violence -- against all non-Muslims.....
Disclosure: all of my grandparents were emigres from Turkey -- they had to f…
Yes, Miss Abby, but it won't go on much longer. The re-establishment of the nation-state of Israel is a salient signal. I enjoy watching movies like the upcoming "2012" and documentaries which use CGI to create possible end-time scenarios. These fil…
Yet Jesus is revered in Islam, and "People of the Book" (christians and jews) were to be taxed heavily but not slaughtered by Muslims.
Oh, maybe the Qur'an is as contradictory and silly as the Wholly Babble (which I taught as literature for 30 year…
I believe both Martin and the Quakers did their good despite religion. "Good people will do good things, and bad people will do bad things. But for good people to do bad things -- that takes religion."
-- Steven Weinberg, in a dialog on religion wit…
Brian,
The words you mention have both negative and positive connotations and all are open to interpretation thereby subjective.... One must be able to ponder the difference between "religion" and "faith" and examine the actions of those of "religi…
Yes, but then He changed His mind.... So mankind was allowed to go forth and multiply and mankind goes forth and multiplies the woes of the world.....
Now we have a President who said that he would bring us out of the wars and now he has changed hi…
"And the LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. So the LORD said, 'I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorr…
As a theological noncognitivist, I have NO idea what the words "holy," "sacred," "afterlife," "soul," "spirit," "god," or other such words mean. I know what others seem to mean when they use them, I guess, but when I ask what a soul is and how I asc…

A VERY ECONOMICAL WAR
It has been estimated that the attack on the world trade center in New York City only cost Al Quaeda about $250,000 while it cost the US billions of dollars in property damage and lost revenue. The US has spent over one trillion dollars in Iraq so far, and is currently spending an estimated 5 billion dollars per month in Afghanistan. How much does it cost Osama bin Laden to hide in a cave?
As I recall, the single demand of Osama bin Laden was for foreigners to leave Arab "holy" lands. Instead,… Continue

A CHRISTIAN ANALYSIS OF CHRISTIANITY
Few factors contribute to the rising tide of atheism like the constant flow of nonsense from ersatz Christians. Christendom is a total farce, based on a benighted understanding of the Bible. If all of scripture is literally true, then somewhere in the world there are trees with hands and mountains that can sing. It would be easier to teach pigs to fly than to disabuse so-called Christians of such drivel as they espouse. Time will not permit addressing all the pertinent issues, but here's a coupl… Continue
