But you asserted that he loves me, with such certainty I thought you might have gotten it on good authority?? The above is yet another example of not reading a text properly and reading into it what one wishes it said instead of what the text actually says. I suggest you read Matthew 25:1-13...

https://americanvision.org/12630/atheists-embarrassed-study-proves-atheism-uses-less-brain-function/ "This has to be embarrassing . . . if you’re an atheist. A new study performed at the University of York used targeted magnetism to shut down part of the brain. The result: belief in God...

Merry Christmas! http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/christian-registrar-loses-discrimination-appeal-1841388.html

This is the most mindbogglingly ridiculous thing I've seen in a while, I just have to share! Have any of you heard of this before? Christians only hugging from the side for fear of having sinful thoughts? I wonder, do they do the side hug with same sex friends as well? I was convinced that...

Why not do it for it's own good , or even just for the money rather than for some reward in the afterlife? Real suffering? Yeah right. More here: http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/health-news/christian-nurse-moved-amid-necklace-ban-1790595.html

So if you go to this lovely site and poke around, you'll find some interesting, thought-provoking, and some might say sad and disturbing threads for your viewing and lurking pleasure. However, when you get to this page, something rather odd happens. You can click on every thread and read it, as...

Someone recently told me that being Christian isn't about religion, but about relationship with Jesus. I happened to have heard the Atheist Experience episode a few days ago where they mention this, but when I went back to check their argument, it basically said, "no other relationship depends...

I mean, everyone starts out as an atheist, so what in god's name, so to speak, happened to them to make them turn into a Christian? What happened to them to make them hate God reality so much. So much, in fact, that they believe the world and normal life in it is evil, in and of itself. It...

Seems someone is a tad upset about the 'De-Christianizing' of our condiments: http://www.slashfood.com/2009/03/04/christian-izing-salt-is-just-not-kosher/ Make sure you read the comments as well; they're a hoot. :D

I have a feeling there is more to this than reported.... More here http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/religion/4590870/Primary-school-receptionist-facing-sack-after-daughter-talks-about-Jesus-to-classmate.html

I've seen lots of posters trying to claim Obama as some kind of "pretend theist" who's really an atheist in disguise. Let these words refute that idea forever: link

Yeah...sure...education not indoctrination .... http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/faith/article5526785.ece

Well, most of you probably know this YouTube-Hype [17,035,168 Hits] already, but I found it today and it's a pretty cute one in contrast to other recent news, so I share it with you: adYbFQFXG0U

It has come to my attention that some Christians do not believe in hell. Well, actually it has come to my attention that Radrook does not believe in hell: But if there is one, I'm sure there is many. I tried to ask Radrook about this in another thread, but he did not respond. It was off...

To Christians Jews and Catholics (I think) Imagine that you have a 13 year old son, he has cancer and it is down to the end, he has only weeks to live. You have been praying endlessly over the past year, and are starting to think that it is Gods will that your son die. You have come to accept...

It's one thing when a religious person is going through some pain, and asks an atheist for their prayers because they don't realize they're talking to an atheist. Then there's the real classy version of this move, when they ask for your prayers because they know you're an atheist: Note that...

This is from Malta Today, October 2007, so apologies if it's been up before. http://www.maltatoday.com.mt/2007/10/14/n5.html Can't argue with this logic....

Ok, I don't know if this is something old, but this approach / variation came to my mind recently and I hope you guys could test me a bit and help to spot any obvious holes and problems there might be. I haven't given it that much thought yet, but it seems a pretty solid way to illustrate a...

Has anyone here seen Willie Aames's "Bibleman: the Six Lies of the Fibbler"? http://www.christiancinema.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=636 I was wondering what "the six lies targeted at church kids" are, but I don't want to buy the video. Any help?

I hope this is not too risque for this subforum... Two unabashed environmentalist-Christians-lesbians have been shopping around a summer camp for adults idea in North Carolina. The concept is to create a friendly environment for all types of people: straight, gay, bi-sexual, lesbian or...

I haven't posted in a while as I try to make each one count. I hope everyone will enjoy this. Some may remember that I have been having an ongoing debate/exchange with my Christian fundamentalist brother over evolution, intelligent design and god. When I feel I have something worth posting from...

Yes, it's the annual "easter gets an update for drama" outrage. Oh the irony of these quotes.. http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-23456466-details/Row+over+BBC+drama+which+shows+Jesus+crucified+in+a+foetal+position/article.do -

I just saw that the ASA in the UK has ruled that a hair products TV ad offends Christians. There were 23 complaints. I suggest that 23 of us find some ads that offend an equal number of obscure irrational beliefs. They don't even have to be real - well by definition irrational beliefs are not...

http://www.stategazette.com/story/1294862.html It's cute, anyway..

We know that as a percentage of world religions, Christians are not in the majority. The CIA list Christians as 33.03%. Therefore they are a minority religion. Following some posts in other threads, I was wondering if this is being generous, and Christians may be one of the smallest minority...

I went to church this weekend, at a place called the Church in Baton Rouge. Apparently, this is the "real" church. It was a group of ~40 people altogether. I have reproduced the experience here. I apologize for the length of this post, but I feel that this is instructive in the fact that...

Have a look at this little gem and give thanks to the Flying Spaghetti Monster that you don't take it seriously... http://www.godtube.com/view_video.php?viewkey=e10543891fd2e7277d15 :jaw-dropp :jaw-dropp :mad:

Good to see Gen. Dannatt, Chief of the General Staff (i.e. head of the Army) using his power and influence in such a pertinent way. :rolleyes: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/faith/article2681695.ece Seriously, he made a nice realistic start in his new post, but this is just...

Given that we're now aiming at exposing the nonsense of high-profile people in the media making outrageous supernatural claims, I think we should be going after this guy. Joe Ratzinger He's the head of a cult that makes some spectacular claims, and apparently while in office the guy even has...

I would guess that this is one of the last places such a tragedy would be expected by many. Mysterious ways indeed.
